Quantum Chemical Investigation on the Antioxidant Activity of Neutral and Anionic Forms of Juglone: Metal Chelation and Its Effect on Radical Scavenging Activity

Abstract: The chelation ability of divalent Mg, Ca, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and monovalent Cu ions by neutral and anionic forms of juglone has been investigated at DFT/B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory in gas and aqueous phases. It is noteworthy that only the 1 : 1 stoichiometry was considered herein. The effects of these metals on the radical scavenging activity of neutral juglone were evaluated via the usual descriptors of hydrogen atom transfer. According to our results, metal chelation by the two forms of juglone was sp… Show more

“…One of the most popular naphtoquinones is juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) which is a phenolic allelochemical responsible for walnut allelopathy and the inhibitory effect of black walnut (Juglans nigra) in associated plant species [27]. In our previous works, the antioxidant activity (AOA) of juglone (Jug) based on hydrogen transfer mechanisms as well as the metal chelation ability have been substantially studied [27][28][29]. Our findings revealed a huge improvement in the AOA of (Jug) through the substitution of the H-atom ortho to its hydroxyl group by another OH group [29].…”
