On the basis of density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/cc-pVQZ level with the C-PCM solvation model, a comparative analysis of the reactivity of the garlic metabolites 2-propenesulfenic acid (PSA) and allyl mercaptan (AM, 2-propene-1-thiol) was performed. In particular, the thermodynamic descriptors (BDE, PA, ETE, AIP, PDE, and G) and global descriptors of chemical activity (ionization potential (IP), electron affinity (EA), chemical potential (μ), absolute electronegativity (χ), molecular hardness (η) and softness (S), electrophilicity index (ω), electro-donating (ω) and electro-accepting (ω) powers, and Ra and Rd indexes) were determined. The calculations revealed that PSA is more reactive than AM, but the latter may play a crucial role in the deactivation of free radicals due to its greater chemical stability and longer lifetime. The presence of a double bond in AM enables its polymerization, preserving the antiradical activity of the S-H group. This activity can be amplified by aryl-substituent-containing hydroxyl groups. The results of the calculations for the simplest phenol-AM derivative indicate that both the O-H and S-H moieties show greater antiradical activity in a vacuum and aqueous medium than the parent molecules. The results obtained prove that AM and its derivatives can be used not only as flavoring food additives but also as potent radical scavengers, protecting food, supplements, cosmetics, and drug ingredients from physicochemical decomposition caused by exogenous radicals.
基于采用C-PCM溶剂化模型的B3LYP/cc-pVQZ水平的密度泛函理论(DFT),对大蒜代谢产物2-丙烯亚磺酸(PSA)和烯丙基硫醇(AM,2-丙烯-1-硫醇)的反应活性进行了比较分析。特别地,确定了热力学描述符(BDE、PA、ETE、AIP、PDE和G)以及化学活性的全局描述符(电离势(IP)、电子亲和势(EA)、化学势(μ)、绝对电负性(χ)、分子硬度(η)和软度(S)、亲电性指数(ω)、给电子(ω)和吸电子(ω)能力以及Ra和Rd指数)。计算结果表明,PSA比AM更具反应活性,但由于AM具有更高的化学稳定性和更长的寿命,它可能在自由基失活中起关键作用。AM中双键的存在使其能够发生聚合反应,从而保留S-H基团的抗自由基活性。含芳基取代基的羟基可增强这种活性。对最简单的苯酚-AM衍生物的计算结果表明,在真空和水介质中,O-H和S-H部分均比母体分子表现出更高的抗自由基活性。所得结果证明,AM及其衍生物不仅可用作食品调味添加剂,还可用作有效的自由基清除剂,保护食品、补充剂、化妆品和药物成分免受外源性自由基引起的物理化学分解。
