title: Nuclear magnetic resonance investigations of calcium antagonist drugs. II: Conformational and dynamic features of verapamil in [2H6]DMSO.
abstract: Conformational features of verapamil in [2H6]DMSO have been delineated by measuring 13C and 1H NMR parameters. Spin-lattice relaxation rates were interpreted within the frame of an extended alkane chain with segmental motions hampered by the aromatic substituents at both ends. The effective correlation times were all evaluated in the range 0.16-0.22 ns at 293 K. The aromatic rings were found to lie somewhat out-of-plane with the alkane chain. The NMR data were used to construct a Dreiding model of the most probable spatial arrangement and a molecular modeling system was utilized to represent the "preferred" conformation of verapamil in solution.
