Study of the structural, chemical descriptors and optoelectronic properties of the drugs Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin

Density functional theory (DFT) was performed in order to predict the structural, chemical descriptors and optoelectronic properties of the drugs Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin using the wB97XD, O3LYP and B3LYP functional with 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. It is observed from our studies that most of the descriptors presented show association with some processes, including absorption, blood-brain barrier transport, binding and even toxicity. Hence, the treatment of COVID-19 using Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin in some patients as single dose and their combination in patients with Corona virus resistance can be more effective. Our results show that these therapeutic molecules may also have good nonlinear optical applications, may have semiconductor character with wide band gap and can also be promising materials in the production of optoelectronic devices. The density of states and thermodynamic properties were equally determined.
