Dietary chromones as antioxidant agents--the structural variable.

چکیده
This study reports an evaluation of the free radical scavenging ability of a series of chromone derivatives, in the light of their structural features and conformational behaviour. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH˙) test for the assessment of radical scavenging properties was applied, and the interpretation of the experimental results was assisted by ab initio theoretical approaches that allowed relevant parameters, such as the enthalpy of formation of the radical species, to be predicted. From the eighteen tested compounds, three-fisetin, luteolin and quercetin-are shown to act as effective antiradicals. Consistent structure-activity relationships (SARs) were established regarding the antioxidant role of this type of chromone-based system.

Background: Exposure to ionizing radiation results in genotoxicity and the unrepaired lesions in cellular DNA results in cell cycle arrest, reproductive death, interphase death, division delay, chromosome aberrations, mutations, etc. leading to the intensive destruction of cells and violation of their proliferative capacity there by adversely affecting the mammalian system. Since ionizing radia...

Antioxidants are important defenders of the human body against nocive free radicals, which are the causative agents of most life-threatening diseases. The immense biomedicinal utility of antioxidants necessitates the development and design of new synthetic antioxidant molecules. The present report deals with the modeling of a series of chromone derivatives, which was done to provide detailed in...

Chromones and xanthones are oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds acknowledged by their antioxidant properties. In an effort to develop novel agents with improved activity, a series of compounds belonging to these chemical classes were prepared. Their syntheses involve the condensation of appropriate 2-methyl-4H-chromen-4-ones, obtained via Baker-Venkataraman rearrangement, with (E)-3-(3,4-d...
