Abstract
Free radicals and oxidants may cause various damages both to the lifeworld and different products. A typical solution for the prophylaxis of oxidation-caused conditions is the usage of various antioxidants. Among them, various classes are found-polyphenols, conjugated polyalkenes, and some sulfur and nitrogen derivatives. Regarding the active site in the molecules, a widely discussed group of compounds are 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. Among them are natural (e.g., curcumin and pulvinic acids) and synthetic (e.g., 4-hydroxy coumarins, substituted Meldrum's acids) compounds. Herein, information about various compounds containing the 1,3-dicarbonyl moiety is covered, and their antiradical and antioxidant activity, depending on the structure, is discussed.

Mechanistic insight into the free radical scavenging and xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor potent of monoacetylphloroglucinols (MAPGs). Free Radic Res 2023:1-33. [PMID: 37315300 DOI: 10.1080/10715762.2023.2225731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Three novel antioxidant candidates based on phenolic polyketide, monoacetylphloroglucinol (MAPG), a natural antibiotic compound produced by plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 have been proposed. Initially, a green and highly efficient route to the synthesis of MAPG and its two analogues from phloroglucinol (PG) has been developed. Afterward, their rational mechanism of antioxidant activity has been investigated based on thermodynamic descriptors involved in the double ( 2H+/2e-) radical trapping processes. These calculations have been performed using the systematic density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP/Def2-SVP level of theory in the gas phase and aqueous solution. Our findings reveal that the double formal hydrogen atom transfer (df-HAT) mechanism is preferred in the gas phase, while the double sequential proton loss electron transfer (dSPLET) mechanism is preferred in aqueous solution for all MAPGs. The 6-OH group represents the most favourable site for trapping radical species for all MAPGs, which is supported by the pKa values obtained from DFT calculations. The role of acyl substituents on the PG ring has been comprehensively discussed. The presence of acyl substituents has a strong influence on the thermodynamic parameters of the phenolic O-H bond in PG. These results are supported by frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) analysis, where the addition of acyl substituents increases the chemical reactivity of MAPGs significantly. Based on molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations (MDs), MAPGs are also predicted to be promising candidates for xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibition.HighlightsThe antioxidant activity of the three synthesised MAPGs has been investigated using the DFT method.Acyl substituents increase the chemical reactivity and antioxidant activity of MAPGs.df-HAT is the preferred mechanism in the gas phase.dSPLET seems to be more favoured in aqueous solution.MAPGs are expected to be promising xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors.

Abstract
Since the beginning of history, natural products have been an abundant source of bioactive molecules for the treatment of different diseases, including cancer. Many allyl derivatives, which have shown anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo in a large number of cancers, are bioactive molecules found in garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, or mustard. In addition, synthetic products containing allyl fragments have been developed showing potent anticancer properties. Of particular note is the allyl derivative 17-AAG, which has been evaluated in Phase I and Phase II/III clinical trials for the treatment of multiple myeloma, metastatic melanoma, renal cancer, and breast cancer. In this Perspective, we compile extensive literature evidence with descriptions and discussions of the most recent advances in different natural and synthetic allyl derivatives that could generate cancer drug candidates in the near future.

Abstract
Assessment of the antioxidant activity of different types of natural compounds is a complex research area that encompasses various in vitro tests and in vivo studies. Sophisticated modern analytical tools permit the unambiguous characterization of the compounds present in a matrix. The contemporary researcher, knowing the chemical structure of the compounds present, can carry out quantum chemical calculations that provide important physicochemical information assisting the prediction of antioxidant potential and the mechanism behind the activity of target compounds before further experimentation. The efficiency of calculations is steadily improved due to the rapid evolution of both hardware and software. It is possible, consequently, to study compounds of medium or even larger size, incorporating also models that simulate the liquid phase (solution). This review contributes to the establishment of theoretical calculations as an inherent part of the antioxidant activity assessment process, having as a case study the complex mixtures of olive bioactive secoiridoids (oleuropein, ligstroside, and related compounds). The literature indicates great variability in theoretical approaches and models used so far for only a limited number of this group of phenolic compounds. Proposals are made for standardization of methodology (reference compounds, DFT functional, basis set size, and solvation model) to facilitate comparisons and communication of findings.

Abstract
Flavonoids are natural compounds with antioxidant properties that have positive effects on human health, which reduce toxic effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and partially oxidative damage. In the work, the density functional theory (DFT/BMK) calculations were performed for antioxidant activity evaluation of pinocembrin (P), isosakuranetin (I) and eriodictyol (E). Four main mechanisms were examined: hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), radical adduct formation (RAF), single electron transfer-proton transfer (SET-PT) and Sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). HAT and SPLET are thermodynamically the most probable process in gas phase and water. The three flavonoids examined + •OH HAT and RAF mechanisms for each possible location were investigated theoretically for the first time. The results were discussed by considering thermodynamic, kinetic and structural data of various reaction paths using IRC approach.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) at the theoretical M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) level was used to assess thermodynamics and kinetics in the antioxidative action of amentoflavone (AF). The antioxidative HAT pathway (H-atom transfer) is assigned to this compound in gas, but the SPL-ET (sequential proton loss-electron transfer) is the main route in polar solvents methanol and water. In all four mediums gas, benzene, methanol, and water, 4‴-OH is the most active site in free radical quenching with the lowest BDE (bond dissociation enthalpy) values of 81.8-84.8 kcal/mol, as well as it exerted the PA (proton affinity) values of 29.8-33.0 kcal/mol in methanol and water. Regarding kinetics, when interacted with •OOH and •NO2 in gas and methanol, 4‴-OH group is also responsible for the lowest ΔG# values (Gibbs free energy of activation), and the highest rate constant K values. Acidic assessment also indicated that 4‴-OH is associated with the strongest acidity (the lowest pKa). Two favorable oriented 4‴-OH and 7-OH groups further exhibited antioxidative activity since they prevented metal ions Zn2+ and Fe2+ from participating in free radical producing processes, in which the most stable complex [FeAF(H2O)4] generated the lowest IE value of -206.2 kcal/mol, and Egap value of 3.491 kcal/mol, but the highest MIA values of 184.6 kcal/mol in methanol.

Abstract
This review begins with a general introduction to essential oils (EO) and their relation to food and microorganisms. Classification and characteristics of EO, addressing the major compounds with antimicrobial action. Subsequently, the main microorganisms followed by a collection of the main works published in recent years that approached the influence of the EO on the protection against microorganisms and food decontamination. At last, the major gaps and future perspectives on the subject. Using EO for fighting food contamination is a way of sustainably supplying the need for new antimicrobials to ensure microbial safety and is a viable source to solve the problem of current microbial resistance. Form of application, EO composition and microbiological load are reported as the responsible factors for the treatment's success. The EO's effects on fungi and bacteria are already well known, but its effect on viruses and yeasts is something to be explored.

Abstract
Reactive free radicals have both beneficial and destructive effects. Indeed, at physiological levels, free radicals help to preserve homeostasis by acting as signal transducers. However, excessive generation of free radicals can harm and damage membranes, proteins, and DNA, among other cell structures. Dihydroxybenzoic acids (DHBAs) have proven their antioxidant capacity against a large variety of free radicals, as well as their ability to inhibit or restrict reactive species overproduction. In this paper, a computational analysis of the antioxidant activity of a series of DHBAs in polar and nonpolar media was carried out at the DFT/M06-2X/6-[Formula: see text] level of theory. The implicit SMD solvation model was used in order to rationalize the experimental findings and to investigate the solvent effect on the mechanism and the radical scavenging ability. The obtained results put in evidence that HAT is the predominant mechanism in nonpolar media, whereas SPLET is more favored in polar environment. The BDE[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] descriptors are used to predict the most reactive hydroxyl groups and the antioxidant activity order of the studied DHBAs. Our results are in total agreement with experimental findings (inhibition of lipid peroxidation and scavenging of hydrogen peroxide). Moreover, this study shows that the substitution of the hydrogen atom by strong electron-donating groups, namely NMe2, in the ortho positions of the best experimental DHBAs leads to a significant enhancement of their antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Natural products have been used by humanity for many centuries to treat various illnesses and with the advancement of technology, it became possible to isolate the substances responsible for the beneficial effects of these products, as well as to understand their mechanisms. In this context, myristicin, a substance of natural origin, has shown several promising activities in a large number of in vitro and in vivo studies carried out. This molecule is found in plants such as nutmeg, parsley, carrots, peppers, and several species endemic to the Asian continent. The purpose of this review article is to discuss data published in the last 10 years at Pubmed, Lilacs and Scielo databases, reporting beneficial effects, toxicity and promising data of myristicin for its future use in medicine. From 94 articles found in the literature, 68 were included. Exclusion criteria took into account articles whose tested extracts did not have myristicin as one of the major compounds.

Abstract
This study describes the adsorption of free radical TEMPO onto Al2O3 nanoparticles in the solvents with different polarities including DMF, methanol, acetone, THF, petroleum ether and n-hexane at ambient temperature to evaluate the radical scavenging activity. The adsorption percentage of radical is calculated by measuring the maximum adsorption intensity of the ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum of TEMPO in the presence and the absence of Al2O3 nanoparticles. The morphology of Al2O3 nanoparticles before and after adsorption of TEMPO is studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The adsorption energy and other thermochemical data for the adsorption of TEMPO over different active sites of Al2O3 are estimated via dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT + Disp). The donor-acceptor interactions between Al2O3 and TEMPO are calculated using natural bond orbital (NBO) theory. It is found that Al2O3 nanoparticles have efficient radical scavenging activity (RSA) in the range of 50-72%. Approximately, a linear relationship between dielectric constant of solvent and the absorption percentage of TEMPO over Al2O3 nanoparticles is achieved. So that with decreasing the polarity of solvent, the adsorption of TEMPO onto Al2O3 nanoparticles is increased. The adsorption of TEMPO over Lewis acidic sites of Al2O3 is more favored than Brønsted acidic and basic sites. The comparison between experimental and calculated IR spectra of TEMPO/Al2O3 complexes provides the good evidence for adsorption of TEMPO onto the surface of Al2O3 nanoparticles.

Density functional theory studies of the antioxidants-a review. J Mol Model 2021; 27:271.

Abstract
The following review article attempts to compare the antioxidant activity of the compounds. For this purpose, density functional theory/Becke three-parameter Lee-Yang-Parr (DFT/B3LYP) methodology was carried out instead of using pharmacological methodologies because of economic benefits and high accuracy. This methodology filtrates the compounds with the lowest antioxidant activity. At first, the Koopmans' theorem was carried out to calculate some descriptors to compare antioxidants. The energy of the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) was accepted as the best indicator, and then some studies confirmed that the highest occupied molecular orbital/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) energy gap is the more precise descriptor. Although it would be better to compare spin density distribution (SDD) on the oxygen of the corresponding radical in the polarizable continuum model (PCM) to evaluate their capability to chain reaction inhibition. Next, it was mentioned that in the multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs), the antioxidant is connected to other moieties in para positions to create better antioxidants or novel hybrid compounds. Indeed, SDD was introduced as a descriptor for MTDL antioxidant effectiveness. Then, the relation between antioxidants and aromaticity was investigated. The more the aromaticity of an antioxidant, the more stable the corresponding radical is. Subsequently, in preferred antioxidant activity, it was defined that the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism is more favored in metabolism phase I. It has been seen that the solvent model can change the antioxidant mechanism. Therefore, the solvent model is more important than the chemical structure of antioxidants, and an ideal antioxidant should be evaluated in PCM for pharmacological evaluations.

Abstract
Avenanthramides (AVAs), unique phenolic compounds in oats, have attracted increasing interest due to their health benefits. Eight representative AVAs were studied using the density functional theory (DFT) method to elucidate their antioxidant activity and mechanism. Preference of different mechanisms was evaluated based on thermodynamic descriptors involved in double (2H+/2e-) free radical scavenging reactions. It was found that the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism is more favorable in the gas and benzene phases, while sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) is preferred in polar media. The results suggest the feasibility of the double HAT and double SPLET mechanisms for 2s and c-series AVAs. The sequential triple proton loss double electron transfer (StPLdET) mechanism represents the dominant pathway in aqueous solution at physiological pH. In addition, the sequential proton loss hydrogen atom transfer (SPLHAT) mechanism provides an alternative pathway to trap free radicals. Results also revealed the important role of the catechol, guaiacyl, and carboxyl moieties.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Radicals produced by Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions play detrimental roles in our body. Some oxidized proteins as toxic configurations are identified in amyloid-β deposits. These deposits mostly occur in conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we report the synthesis, evaluation of the antioxidant activity, and implementation of density functional theory (DFT) calculations of some4- [(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylimino) methyl]phenol derivatives. The aim of this study was to provide a comparative theoretical-experimental approach to explain the antioxidant activities of the compounds. Experimental approach: Compounds were synthesized by the reaction between para hydroxybenzaldehyde and aminobenzothiazole derivatives. The scavenging activity of the compounds was evaluated. Various electronic and energetic descriptors such as high occupied molecular orbital and low unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps, bonding dissociation enthalpy of OH bond, ionization potential, electron affinity, hardness, softness, and spin density of the radical and neutral species were calculated. DFT calculations with B3LYP hybrid functional and 6-311++ G** basis set in the polarizable continuum model were utilized to obtain these descriptors. Findings/Results: Ascorbic acid showed the best DPPH scavenging activity. However, 4d and 4c showed promising antioxidant activity. The values of EHOMO for 4c and 4d were closer to zero, thus, they showed the best scavenging activities. The computational results were in accordance with the experimental ones. The energetic descriptors indicated that the sequential proton loss-electron transfer mechanism is preferred over other mechanisms. Conclusion and implication: Antioxidant activity of 4-[(Benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylimino) methyl]phenol derivatives confirmed by experimental and theoretical documents proves them as novel antioxidants against amyloid-β based disease.

Abstract
The present study examined the radical scavenging potential of the two benzene derivatives found in the bay laurel essential oil (EO), namely methyl eugenol (MEug) and eugenol (Eug), theoretically and experimentally to make suggestions on their contribution to the EO preservative activity through such a mechanism. Calculation of appropriate molecular indices widely used to characterize chain-breaking antioxidants was carried out in the gas and liquid phases (n-hexane, n-octanol, methanol, water). Experimental evidence was based on the DPPH• scavenging assay applied to pure compounds and a set of bay laurel EOs chemically characterized with GC-MS/FID. Theoretical calculations suggested that the preservative properties of both compounds could be exerted through a radical scavenging mechanism via hydrogen atom donation. Eug was predicted to be of superior efficiency in line with experimental findings. Pearson correlation and partial least square regression analyses of the EO antioxidant activity values vs. % composition of individual volatiles indicated the positive contribution of both compounds to the radical scavenging activity of bay laurel EOs. Eug, despite its low content in bay laurel EOs, was found to influence the most the radical scavenging activity of the latter.

Abstract
DFT-based computational calculations have been used to investigate the hydroperoxyl radical scavenging activity of four essential oil constituents namely thymol (Thy), rosefuran (Ros), terpinolene (Ter), and umbelliferone (Umb). Different reaction mechanisms including formal hydrogen transfer (FHT), radical adduct formation (RAF), sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET), and sequential electron transfer proton transfer (SETPT) have been examined in the gas phase and physiological environments. It was found that the HOO radical scavenging activity of these compounds is strongly influenced by the environment, which becomes more important in water than pentyl ethanoate. According to the overall reaction rate constants, the phenolic compounds Thy and Umb are predicted to exhibit excellent activity in aqueous solution. Umb with an overall rate constant of 1.44 × 108M-1s-1 at physiological pH is among the best HOO radical scavengers in water with activity comparable to that of caffeic acid, higher than those of ascorbic acid, guaiacol and eugenol, and much higher than that of Trolox.

Abstract
The chemical and pharmacological profiles of essential oils (EOs) hydrodistilled in yields of 0.03-0.77 % (w/w) from three exotic (Cinnamomum camphora, Petroselinum crispum, and Syzygium samarangense) and two endemic (Pittosporum senacia subsp. senacia and Syzygium coriaceum) medicinal plants were studied. GC-MS/GC-FID analysis of the EOs identified the most dominant components to be myristicin (40.3 %), myrcene (62.2 %), 1,8-cineole (54.0 %), β-pinene (21.3 %) and (E)-β-ocimene (24.4 %) in P. crispum, P. senacia and C. camphora, S. samarangense and S. coriaceum EOs, respectively. All EOs were found to possess anti-amylase (0.70-1.50 mM ACAE/g EO) and anti-tyrosinase (109.35-158.23 mg KAE/g) properties, whereas no glucosidase inhibition was displayed. Only Syzygium EOs acted as dual inhibitors of both acetyl- and butyryl-cholinesterases, while P. senacia and C. camphora EOs inhibited acetylcholinesterase selectively and P. crispum EO was inactive (AChE: 4.64-4.96 mg GALAE/g; BChE: 5.96 and 7.10 mg GALAE/g). Molecular docking revealed 1,8-cineole to present the best binding affinities with butyrylcholinesterase, amylase and tyrosinase, while both myristicin and β-pinene with acetylcholinesterase and finally β-pinene with glucosidase. In vitro antioxidant potency was also demonstrated in different assays (DPPH: 13.52-53.91 mg TE/g, ABTS: 5.49-75.62 mg TE/g; CUPRAC: 45.38-243.21 mg TE/g, FRAP: 42.49-110.64 mg TE/g; and phosphomolybdenum assay: 82.61-160.93 mM TE/g). Principal component analysis revealed the EOs to differ greatly in their bioactivities due to their chemodiversity. This study has unveiled some interesting preliminary pharmacological profiles of the EOs that could be explored for their potential applications as phytotherapeutics.

Abstract
Syringic acid (SA) is a natural phenolic acid found in vegetables, fruits, and other plant-based foods. A range of biological activities were proposed for this compound including anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-inflammation, and anti-diabetic activities, as well as antioxidant and antinitrosant properties. In this study, the focus is on the latter two. The HO•, HOO•, NO, and NO2 scavenging activities of SA were evaluated in physiological environments by kinetic and thermodynamic calculations. The computed rate constants of the HO• radical scavenging of SA were 4.63 × 109 and 9.77 × 107 M-1 s-1 in polar and nonpolar solvents, respectively. A comparison with the experimentally determined rate constant in aqueous solution yields a kcalculated/kexperimental ratio of 0.3, thus the computed kinetic data are reasonably accurate. SA exhibited excellent HOO• and NO2 scavenging activity in water (koverall(HOO•) = 1.53 × 108 M-1 s-1 and koverall(NO2) = 1.98 × 108 M-1 s-1), whereas it did not show NO scavenging activity in any of the studied environments. In lipid medium, SA exhibited weak activity. Thus, in polar environments, the HOO• radical scavenging of SA is 1.53 times higher than that of ascorbic acid. Consistently, SA is a promising antioxidant and antinitrosant agent in polar environments.

Abstract
Dihydrochalcones (DHCs), an important subgroup of flavonoids, have recently received much attention due to their diverse biological activities. In contrast to their O-glycosides, understanding of the antioxidant property and mechanism of DHC C-glycosides remains limited. Herein, the free radical scavenging activity and mechanism of two representative C-glycosyl DHCs, aspalathin (ASP) and nothofagin (NOT) as well as their aglycones, 3-hydroxyphloretin (HPHL) and phloretin (PHL) were evaluated using the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results revealed the crucial role of sugar moiety on the conformation and the activity. The o-dihydroxyl in the B-ring and the 2',6'-dihydroxyacetophenone moiety were found significant in determining the activity. Our results showed that hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) is the dominant mechanism for radical-trapping in the gas and benzene phases, while the sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET) is more preferable in the polar environments. Also, the results revealed the feasibility of the double HAT and double SPLET as well as the SPLHAT mechanisms, which provide alternative pathways to trap radical for the studied DHCs. These results could deepen the understanding of the antiradical activity and mechanism of DHCs, which will facilitate the design of novel efficient antioxidants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Life style and jobs in current situations have generated increased free radicals such as hydroxyl (OH•) and superoxide (O2•) radicals, thereby increasing stress in humans. Interest in search of antioxidants that trap these free radicals has increased to relieve stress. β-carotene (provitamin A), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), tocopherol or vitamin E, Trolox; butyl hydroxy toluene and phenolic compounds are the well-known antioxidants. Several methods evaluate the antioxidant property existing in natural substances (medicinal plants and agri-food products) and synthetic compounds (2-methyl-3- (pyrrolidin-2-ylideneamino) quinazolin-4 (3H) -one and 3,3'- (1,4- phenylenebis (methanylylidene)) bis (azanylylidene) (2-methyl-quinazolin-4 (3H) -one). OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to focus on complexes with p-hydroxycinnamic acids to trap free radicals in a greener way. METHODS Spectroscopic shifts and structural studies were employed to attribute electronic properties responsible for antioxidant profile. Spectroscopic shifts in wavenumbers were attributed with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra (FTIR) and Fourier Transform Raman spectra (FT Raman Spectra). Structural studies were performed with Gaussian package, electron density method the B3LYP method, basis set 6-31(d) for attributing electronic properties responsible for antioxidant profile. RESULTS Interpretation of FTIR spectra revealed spectroscopic shifts in wavenumbers in all the complexes responsible for bonding. Further, studies confirmed the formation of complex with reduced intensities in Raman spectra. Computational studies revealed enhancement in molecular and electronic properties responsible for antioxidant power. CONCLUSION Studies revealed that complex with p-nitroaniline contribute to greater acceptor and donor power responsible for antioxidant power. These higher powers suggest the best antiradicals to trap free radicals.

Abstract
Five 1,4-bisphenylhydrazone derivatives (1-5) were successfully synthesized and evaluated for their antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. The antioxidant activity has been carried out using DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC and superoxide radical scavenging methods. All the compounds showed a very good antioxidant activity compared to that of the standards used. Compound 1 was found to be the best antioxidant agent with IC50 values lower or comparable to that of the standards. The acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity has been evaluated using a modified Ellman's assay. The obtained results indicate that compound 2 is the best acetylcholinesterase inhibitor with a low IC50 value comparable to that of the galantamine. In addition, DFT calculations have been performed to determine in which mechanism the synthesized hydrazones follow to scavenge free radicals. Molecular docking study was performed for compound 2, and its interaction modes with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase were determined. As a result, a strong interaction between this compound and the active site of AChE enzyme was revealed. Finally, ADME properties of the synthesized compounds were also studied and showed good drug-like properties.
