Direct and indirect antioxidant activities of rosmarinic acid (RA) based on HOO˙/CH3OO˙ radical scavenging and Fe(iii)/Fe(ii) ion chelation were theoretically studied using density functional theory at the M05-2X/6-311++G(2df,2p) level of theory.

Antioxidant and UV absorption activities of three aaptamine derivatives including piperidine[3,2-b]demethyl(oxy)aaptamine (C1), 9-amino-2-ethoxy-8-methoxy-3H-benzo[de][1,6]naphthyridine-3-one (C2), and 2-(sec-butyl)-7,8-dimethoxybenzo[de]imidazo[4,5,1-ij][1,6]-naphthyridin-10(9H)-one (C3) were theoretically studied by density functional theory (DFT). Optimized geometries of C1C3 and theirs intrinsic thermochemical properties such as bond dissociation energy, proton affinity, and ionization potential were calculated at DFT/M05-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory in vacuo and in water. The results show that C1C3 exhibited similar potent antioxidant activities, which are comparable to well-known antioxidants such as Trolox or cembrene. The radical scavenging activity of the antioxidants were then investigated by evaluation the Gibbs free energy (ΔrG0) of the reaction between C1C3 and the HOO●/HO● radicals via four mechanisms, including: hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer (SET), proton loss (PL) and radical adduct formation (RAF). Kinetic calculation reveals that HOO● scavenging in water is occurred via HAT mechanism with C1@C19 while RAF is more dominant with C2 and C3. Antioxidant activity of aaptamine derivatives can be classified as C1 > C3 > C2. In addition, all compounds are active in UV-Vis absorption; the excitations of which are determined as π-π* transition. Overall, the results suggest the potential applications of the aaptamines in pharmaceutics and cosmetics, i.e. as sunscreen and antioxidant ingredient<br>

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations, based on B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) basis set, were performed to evaluate the OH bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for phloretin, compared with naringenin, in order to assess the contribution of hydroxyl groups at different position to the radical-scavenging properties. It is indicated clearly that A6 OH is determined as the weakest O-H bond, give rise to the smallest BDE, 73.98 kcal/mol. BDE of B4 OH decreases 2.5 kcal/mol in benzene, very close to that of A6OH, indicated that B4 OH group is also mainly contributed to the reaction with free radicals, especially in non-polar environments.

The luteolin has been extracted from Euphorbia schimperiana then 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 2D NMR spectra were measured. The ground-state geometries have been computed by using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G* and M06/6-31++G** level of theories. The time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) has been applied to compute the absorption spectra with and without solvent. The absorption spectra have been computed in methanol to check the effect of solvent using the polarized continuum model (PCM). On the basis of bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) and the adiabatic ionization potential (IP), we have explained the antioxidant activity of luteolin and its rotamer/positional isomer. Two mechanisms have been explained for the radical scavenging processes, i.e. hydrogen atom transfer and one-electron transfer.
