Abstract

We studied two frontier orbitals - the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)- of tetrahydrocurumin (THC) using density-functional theory (DFT) in water solvent. These orbitals were observed in THC molecule without one hydrogen atom (dehydrogenated THC). The loss of hydrogen atom is due to the transfer of the atom from THC molecule toward reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Hydrogen atom transfer –HAT- mechanism). We began our investigation by optimizing dehydrogenated THC at three X-H sites. Then, water solvent was added by using polarized continuum model (PCM) method. This study observed that dehydrogenated THC at two O-H sites has wider gap of HOMO-LUMO compare to C-H site.

Highlights

  • Studying dehydrogenation of THC is an initial step to understand the role of THC as antioxidant based on hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)

  • We studied two frontier orbitals - the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)- of tetrahydrocurumin (THC) using densityfunctional theory (DFT) in water solvent

  • Our DFT calculations coupled with polarized continuum model (PCM) confirms that the geometry of our system is in minimum energy with doublet spin states
