A newly synthesized 6-methyl-7H,8H,9H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazepin-8-one for potential inhibitor of adenosine A1 receptor: a combined experimental and computational studies

6-Methyl-7H,8H,9H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-b][1,2,4]triazepin-8-onehas been synthesized, characterized by spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR) and finally the structure was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the title molecule, C6H7N5O, the 7-membered ring adopts a bowl-like conformation. In the crystal, the molecules form stacks along the c-axis direction through offset π-stacking interactions between the 5-membered rings and C–H···N hydrogen bonds. The stacks are associated via a combination of N–H···N, C–H···O and C–H···N hydrogen bonds. Further, the Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals the nature of molecular interactions and the fingerprint plot provides information about the percentage contribution from each individual molecular contact to the surface. In addition, due to its biological interest the target molecule adenosine A1 receptor was found based on Structural Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis and, further, subjected into molecular docking and molecular dynamics analysis to understand the binding interaction and stability of the molecule in adenosine A1 receptor system. Furthermore, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were carried for free compound and the compound in active site (single point DFT), to know the internal stability.
