dc.description.abstractContextThis study investigates the antioxidant potential of alkyl gallates (C1-C10), focusing on the impact of alkyl chain length and solvent polarity on their antioxidant properties. Known for their biomedical relevance in mitigating oxidative stress, alkyl gallates' structure-activity relationships, particularly regarding chain length and environmental factors, still need to be explored. Key thermochemical parameters, including bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), ionization potential (IP), proton affinity (PA), and electron transfer enthalpy (ETE), reveal that shorter alkyl chains (C1-C4) exhibit superior antioxidant activity. In contrast, longer chains (C5-C10) show reduced effectiveness due to steric hindrance and lower solubility in polar solvents. Molecular docking studies also demonstrated favorable binding interactions with vital biological targets, further reinforcing their antioxidant potential.MethodsQuantum chemical calculations were performed using Gaussian 16 with the B3LYP/6-311G(dp) basis set for geometry optimizations. Solvent effects were modeled using the integral equation formalism-polarized continuum model (IEF-PCM). Molecular docking studies were conducted using AutoDockTools 4.2, targeting Tyrosine Kinase Hck, Heme Oxygenase, and Human Serum Albumin to evaluate fundamental binding interactions. These computational methods provided insights into alkyl gallates' chemical reactivity and antioxidant efficiency, allowing for the rational design of more potent antioxidant compounds.
