Rajkumar,

You can build a negative impedance converter easily enough in Spice:

X
A 0----+ +-----0-----+
| F1 = I(E1) | |
/ \ / \ |
/ | \ / + \ ----- |C| = -C
\ V / \ - / -----
\ / E1 = \ / |
| VA - VB | |
B 0----+ +-----0-----+
Y

.subckt negcap A B
F1 A B E1 1.0
E1 X Y A B 1.0
C1 X Y <positive-value>
.ends negcap

If your Spice doesn't allow the current in E sources to control
other sources, then you need to insert a zero-valued V source in
series with the E source to measure the current.
