The molecular properties of apigenin, luteolin and nevadensin which are three naturally flavonoid compounds have been studied theoretically by DFT method at 6-311++G(d,p) level. Both FMO analysis, mechanism, and kinetics studied suggested that compound Luteolin (compound 3) was a promising antioxidant agent. The results indicated that  HAT is thermodynamically preferred in the gas phase, and SPLET is the thermodynamically favorable pathway in methanol and water

Mannich base of pyrazolines 3(a–e) under both conventional and microwave irradiation was synthesized. All the synthesised compounds were purified by recrystallisation, characterized on the basis of UV, IR, and NMR spectroscopy, and further supported by mass spectroscopy. The result obtained confirms superiority of microwave irradiation method over classical heating one. The molecular properties and Lipinski rule of five for compounds 3(a–e) were determined by Molinspiration. The synthesized compounds were subsequently evaluated for the antioxidant activity. All the compounds were found in compliance with Lipinski “Rule of Five”, and compound 3e havingp-hydroxyl substitution showed best antioxidant activity as compared to ascorbic acid and rutin.

Flavonoids are natural polyphynolic compounds with major antioxidant activity that can prevent DNA damage. The anticancer and antiviral activities of these natural products are attributed to their potential biomedical applications. In this review we are examining how the antioxidant flavonoids bind DNA and RNA and what mechanism of action is involved in preventing DNA damage. Detailed spectroscopic data on the interactions of morin (mor), apigenin (api), naringin (nar), quercetin (que), kaempferol (kae) and delphinidin (del) with DNA and transfer RNA in aqueous solution at physiological conditions were analysed. The structural analysis showed flavonoids mainly intercalate into DNA and RNA duplexes with minor external binding to the major or minor groove and the backbone phosphate group with overall binding constants for DNA adducts Kmor═5.99×103M–1, Kapi═7.10×104M–1, and Knar═3.10×103M–1, Kque═7.25×104M–1, Kkae═3.60×104M–1and Kdel═1.66×104M–1, and for tRNA adducts Kmor═9.15×103M–1, Kapi═4.96×104M–1, and Knar═1.14×104M–1, Kque═4.80×104M–1, Kkae═4.65×104M–1and Kdel═9.47×104M–1. The stability of adduct formation is in the order of que > api > kae > del >mor > nar for DNA and del > api > que > kae > nar > mor for tRNA. Low flavonoid concentration induces helical stabilization, whereas high pigment content causes helix opening. Flavonoids induce a partial B to A–DNA transition at high pigment concentration, while tRNA remains in A-family structure upon flavonoid complexation. The antioxidant activity of flavonoids changes in the order delphinidin > quercetin > kaempferol > morin > naringin > apigenin. The results show intercalated flavonoid molecule can act as an antioxidant and prevent DNA damage.
