DETERMINATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF CODEINE BY NMR MOLECULAR GRAPHICS TECHNIQUES

摘要

In this paper, we describe a method for calculating the three-dimensional structure ofantagonist drug codeine by means of one- and two-dimensional NMR and computer tech-niques. The calculation of molecular mechanics is based on NMR data, so we call it NMRmolecular graphics (NMRMG). With codeine as a demonstration. we find that the molecularstructure data from NMRMG are in quite good agreement with those by X-ray diffractionmeasurement. NMRMG can be utilized to study configuration and conformation of naturalproducts, especially rigid structure compounds in solution.
