In this work an attempt is made to analysis of the possible different conformers of p-coumaric acid (PCA) by using density functional method. The total energy of four possible conformers were calculated by using B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method. Computational result identifies that the most stable conformer of PCA is C2. The formation of inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonding between -OH and -COOH group gave the evidence for dimer formation for PCA molecule. The highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital analysis shows that the negative electrostatic region situated over the -COOH group and positive electrostatic potential region are localized on ring system and all hydrogen. The PCA has been screened to anti-microbial activity and found to exhibit anti-bacterial effects. Molecular docking results suggest that PCA may exhibit inhibitory activity against lung cancer protein and may act as potential against lung cancer.
