The target forcefield will be G43a1. But I would move to more recent
versions of GROMOS 53a5 or 53a6.

A more empirical charge assignment is often a reasonable starting point for assigning GROMOS charges. As I understand it, quantum calculations were only done to get electron densities around each atom in various functional groups; the subsequent parameterization was done empirically. You must then verify that the parameters match some condensed-phase criteria (the force field references will tell you what types).

I have gotten reasonable results based on assigning charges from comparable functional groups within the building blocks in, i.e. ffG53a6.rtp.

I want to run a MD in an unparameterized molecule similar to adenine. I can get
the approximated parameters in PRODRG. But I have read that PRODRG not always
give the correct charge. Is it a good idea to replace that charges using the
charges given with the R.E.D.vIII using ESP-A1 (suitable for AMBER, GLYCAM and
OPLS forcefields)?. Or will it be mixing forcefields?.
That depends on your target forcefield for your MD.
