Curcumin is known to be an antioxidant, as it can scavenge free radicals from biological
media. A sequence of H-abstraction and addition reactions involving up to eight OH radicals …

Density functional theory is used to study the antioxidant mechanism of curcumin. Five
different mechanisms are considered: single electron transfer (SET), radical adduct …

The effectiveness of naturally occurring antioxidant caffeic acid in the inactivation of the very
damaging hydroxyl radical has been theoretically investigated by means of hybrid density …

The extensive theoretical study of the interaction of one of the most abundant and reactive
flavonols, quercetin, with hydroperoxy radical (HOO·), using the M052X/6-31+ Gd, p level of …

Polyphenols (synthetically modified or directly provided by human diet) scavenge free
radicals by H-atom transfer and may thus decrease noxious effects due to oxidative stress …

Curcumin, a ubiquitous dietary molecule, is a versatile antioxidant that fights against free
radicals. The antioxidant activity of curcumin and its structural analogues such as hispolon …

Quercetin is one of the most potent antioxidants belonging to the flavonoids, which are a
naturally occurring family of molecules. The optimized forms of the 3′‐, 4′‐, 3‐, 5‐, and 7 …

The free radical scavenging activity of capsaicin (CAP), which is the pungent component of
hot chili peppers, has been studied in aqueous and lipid solutions, using the density …

Kinetic study of the reaction of flavonoid naringenin with the stable free radical 2, 2-diphenyl-
1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was performed in different percentage compositions of aqueous …

The computational results for curcumin at the B3LYP/6‐31G (d, p) level show that the enol
form of curcumin is more stable than the diketo form because of an intramolecular hydrogen …
