Abstract
Three quercetin derivatives with enhanced radical-scavenging activity were designed and synthesised. Because the radical-scavenging reaction of quercetin is known to proceed via an electron transfer from quercetin to radicals, producing the corresponding quercetin radical cation intermediate, the introduction of electron-donating groups into the quercetin molecule is expected to enhance its radical-scavenging activity. Thus, methyl groups were introduced into the catechol moiety in the quercetin molecule at either the 2′- or 5′-position, or both. All three quercetin analogues were found to exhibit higher radical-scavenging activity than the parent quercetin. The activity of 5′-methylquercetin is the highest among the three analogues. The optimised structure of 5′-methylquercetin calculated by density functional theory demonstrated a coplanar structure between the 4H-curomen (AC rings) and catechol (B ring) moieties, while dimethylquercetin and 2′-methylquercetin have a twisted structure between the AC and B rings. These results demonstrate that the highest radical-scavenging activity of 5′-methylquercetin is due to the stabilisation of the radical cation intermediate by the electron-donating effect of the methyl group as well as by the planar structure of the molecule. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
