Whatever editing you did was wrong if you end up with such a horrendous 
fractional charge.

All of the necessary functional groups are available in the Gromos force field 
(presumably that's what you're after since you were using PRODRG); the aromatic 
ring and carboxylic acid are standard components of the protein force field and 
the methyl ester group has had its parameters published recently.  For Gromos 
force fields, the transferability is very good, you usually just need to piece 
together existing groups.  For a drug molecule, a partition coefficient is 
likely readily available and serves as an excellent experimental target datum 
for verifying that your topology is reasonable.
