Hi All,

Using MarvinSketch v5.3.3 (ChemAxon software), the predicted pKa value of the acidic hydrogen on the thiazolidinedione ring of pioglitazone is 4.57 (see attached "Figure_1.gif"). Therefore, the predominant species at pH 7.0 predicted by MarvinSketch is the one depicted in "Figure_2.gif". The different tautomeric forms predicted by MarvinSketch are shown in "Figure_3.gif".

Can anyone explain where these predictions come from, and if they are correct?

Nancy, this is a forum for discussion of questions relating to the biomolecular simulation package GROMACS. Your questions would be more suited to a general chemistry discussion forum, though I can't suggest a particular one. At the very least, you would have to read the documentation of the software you've used, and any underlying scientific literature to start answering your own questions.
