Antioxidant activity of novel nitrogen scaffold with docking investigation and correlation of DFT stimulation.

ABSTRACT: Heterocyclic scaffolds are frequently employed in drug development to treat a variety of conditions, including cancers. These substances have the ability to engage covalently or non-covalently with particular residues in the target proteins, inhibiting them. In this study, the formation of N-, S-, and O-containing heterocycles by the interaction of chalcone with nitrogen-containing nucleophiles such as hydrazine, hydroxyl amine, guanidine, urea, and aminothiourea was explored. FT-IR, UV-visible, NMR, and mass spectrometric studies were used to confirm the heterocyclic compounds that were produced. These substances were tested for their antioxidant activity by their capacity to scavenge the artificial radicals 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The strongest antioxidant activity was demo
