Chromatographic analysis shows that the ionic nanostructured complex of the FS-1 drug contains nanocomplexes of α-dextrin with a size of ~40–48 Å. Based on good agreement between the UV spectra of the model structures and the experimental spectrum of the FS-1 drug, the structure of the active FS-1 nanocomplex is proposed. The structure of the active centers of the drug in the dextrin ring was calculated using the quantum-chemical approach DFT/B3PW91. The active centers, i.e., a complex of molecular iodine with lithium halide (I), a binuclear complex of magnesium and lithium containing molecular iodine, triiodide (II), and triiodide (III), are located inside the dextrin helix. The polypeptide outside the dextrin helix forms a hydrogen bond with dextrin in Complex I and coordinates the molecular iodine in Complex II. It is revealed that the active centers of the FS-1drug can be segregated from the dextrin helix and form complexes with DNA nucleotide triplets. The active centers of the FS-1 drug are only segregated on specific sections of DNA. The formation of a complex between the DNA nucleotide and the active center of FS-1 is a key stage in the mechanisms of anti-HIV, anti-coronavirus (Complex I) and antibacterial action (Complex II).
