7. b) Several drugs showing different therapeutic approaches contain the nitrogroup: from nifedipine and nicardipine (L-type calcium channel blockers) to clonazepan, nimetazepan, and nitrazepan (anticonvulsant); from nitrofurantoin (bacteriocidal) to metronidazole and tinidazole (antiparasitic) and to tolcapone, entacapone, and dantrolene sodium (spasmolitic); and so on. Recently, some of us have observed that some nitro- and dinitronaphthylbutadienes show promising antitumor activity. See, for example: M. Viale, G. Petrillo, M. Maccagno, P. Castagnola, C. Aiello, C.

29. a) DFT calculations have been carried out using the Gaussian 03 series of programs. The structures of the various minima points have been fully optimized with the gradient method. After gas-phase optimization, single-point calculations in solution were performed. The correctness of such a methodology was checked by means of a fulloptimization calculation considering the solvent. In each case the solvent (ε = 46.7) was treated with the SCRF-CPCM method. The calculations were performed using the DFT level and the B3LYP functional available in Gaussian 03. All atoms were assigned the double-ζ DZVP basis set;
