A DFT Analysis on Antioxidant and Antiradical Activities from Anthraquinones Isolated from the Cameroonian Flora by Judith Caroline Ngo Nyobe, Laurent Gael Eyia Andiga, Désiré Bikele Mama, Baruch Ateba Amana, Joseph Zobo Mfomo, Toze Flavien Aristide Alfred, Jean Claude Ndom

“…Our B3LYP results reveal that 3-methoxy-1-vismiaquinone (in a configuration without hydrogen bond) exhibits the best antioxidant capacity in gas phase. A comparison between antioxidant performance of molecules examined and that of classical vitamins (gallic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C)) displayed the fact that the single electron transfer (SET) mechanism is more prominent for compounds of the molecular library analyzed. …”
