Antioxidant Properties of Camphene-Based Thiosemicarbazones: Experimental and Theoretical Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: The thiosemicarbazone derivatives have a wide range of biological activities, such as antioxidant activity. In this study, the antiradical activities of six camphene-based thiosemicarbazones (TSC-1~6) were investigated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and peroxyl radical scavenging capacity (PSC) assays, respectively, and the results reveal that TSC1~6 exhibited good abilities for scavenging free radicals in a dose-dependent way. Compound TSC-2 exhibited the best effect of scavenging DPPH radical, with the lowest EC50 (0.208 ± 0.004 mol/mol DPPH) as well as the highest bimolecular rate constant Kb (4218 M-1 s-1), which is 1.18-fold higher than that of Trolox. Meanwhile, TSC-2 also obtained the lowest EC50 (1.27 µmol of Trolox equiv/µmol) of scavenging peroxyl radical. Furthermore, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation was carried out to further explain the experimental results by calculating several molecular descriptors associated with radical scavenging activity. These theoretical data suggested that the electron-donating effect of the diethylamino group in TSC-2 leads to the enhancement of the scavenging activities and the studied compounds may prefer to undergo the hydrogen atom transfer process.

Project description:A new copper(ii) complex, [Cu(LC)(Ibu-phen)(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (LC: lidocaine, Ibu-phen: ibuprofen amide-phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized. The antioxidant activities of the free ligands and the copper(ii) complex were evaluated by in vitro experiments and theoretical calculations using density functional theory (DFT). Structures of the ligand Ibu-phen and the complex were identified by 1H and 13C NMR, FT-IR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis and elemental analysis. The antioxidant potentials of LC and Ibu-phen ligands as well as copper(ii) complex were also evaluated by DPPH˙, ABTS˙+, HO˙ essays and EPR spectroscopy. The experimental results show that the radical scavenging activity (RSA) at various concentrations is decreased in the following order: copper(ii) complex > ascorbic acid > LC > Ibu-phen. Structural and electronic properties of the studied compounds were also analyzed by DFT approach at the M05-2X/6-311++g(2df,2p)//M05-2X/LanL2DZ level of theory. ESP maps and NPA charge distributions show that the highly negative charge regions found on the N and O heteroatoms make these sites more favorable to bind with the central copper ion. Frontier orbital distributions of copper(ii) complex indicate that HOMOs are mainly localized at Ibu-phen, while its LUMOs are distributed at LC. Based on natural bond orbitals (NBO) analyses, Cu(ii) ion plays as electron acceptor in binding with the two ligands and two water molecules. Thermochemical properties including bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), ionization energy (IE), electron affinity (EA), proton affinity (PA) characterizing three common antioxidant mechanisms i.e. hydrogen transfer (HT), single electron transfer (SET) and proton loss (PL) were finally calculated in the gas phase and water solvent for two ligands and the copper(ii) complex at the same level of theory. As a result, the higher EA and lower BDE and PA values obtained for copper(ii) complex show that the complex shows higher antioxidant potential than the free ligands.
