Scavenging of hydroxyl radical by kinsenoside originated from anoectochilus roxburghii: A DFT approach

A density functional theory (DFT) study on the hydroxyl radical scavenging properties of Kinsenoside originated from Anoectochilus roxburghii is presented. Two mechanisms, single electron transfer (SET) and hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) are considered. The thermochemical results demonstrate that the SET mechanism is not plausible to occur.
