Abstract
Polyphenols are widely distributed in various fruits, vegetables and seasonings. It is well known that they have several physiological effects due to their antioxidative activities. Their activities depend on structural characteristics that favour the formation of their corresponding stable radicals. During the examination at which pH values, the polyphenol radicals are stabilized, we confirmed that polyphenol radicals were stabilized in NaHCO3/Na2CO3 buffer (pH 10) rather than in physiological pH region. Then, we measured electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra at pH 10 to examine the characteristics of free radical species derived from caffeic acid (CA) with an unsaturated side chain, dihydrocaffeic acid (DCA) with a saturated side chain, chlorogenic acid (ChA) and rosmarinic acid (RA). In analyzing the radical structures, ESR simulation, determinations of macroscopic and microscopic acid dissociation constants and molecular orbital (MO) calculation were performed. In CA, the monophenolate forms were assumed to participate in the formation of free radical species, while in DCA, the diphenol form and the monophenolate forms were presumed to contribute to the formation of free radical species. On the basis of the results, we propose the possible structures of the free radical species formed from polyphenols under alkaline conditions.
