Reducing Activity of Polyphenols with Stable Radicals of the TTM Series. Electron Transfer versus H-Abstraction Reactions in Flavan-3-ols

Abstract: A new method to test the antioxidant activity of polyphenols by electron transfer reactions to a stable organic free radical, tris(2,4,6-trichloro-3,5-dinitrophenyl)methyl radical (HNTTM), is reported. Therefore, the activity of the natural flavanols, (-)-epicatechin, and two synthetic derivatives, 4beta-(S-cysteinyl)epicatechin and 4beta-(2-aminoethylthio)epicatechin, can be differentiated by their capacity to transfer hydrogen atoms to 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and to transfer electrons to… Show more

“…ORAC, TRAP, and chemiluminescence are hydrogen atom transfer-based methods, whereas FRAP and CUPRAC are single electron transfer methods [85]. DPPH and TEAC methods were regarded as methods using both hydrogen and single electron transfer, as the radicals in these cases can be scavenged by either electron reduction or radical quenching that involves hydrogen transfer [85, 86]. DPPH scavenging, TEAC assay, ferric reducing antioxidant power, OH • scavenging, the phosphomolybdenum method, and beta-carotene linoleate bleaching are applied in vitro , while the lipid peroxidase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activity assays are techniques used in vivo [18].…”

“…The DPPH assay is classified as a single-electron transfer reaction that may be neutralized by the antioxidant either by direct reduction via electron transfers or by radical quenching via H atom transfer [23]. One of the limitations of this assay is the poor correlation between DPPH chemical structure with free radicals produced in biological systems [24].…”

“…The DPH • assay was used to investigate the ability of the L ligand and Ln–L complexes to quench the stable DPPH • radical. DPPH • can be converted by antioxidant to 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picryl hydrazine either by radical quenching via hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) or by direct reduction through electron transfer (EA) mechanisms . Figure clearly shows that Ln–L complexes are more effective than L in quenching DPPH.…”
