Experimental, Spectral Characterization and Docking Studies of some bioactive agents

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate and investigate some of turmeric biological activities using two different studies: The experimental assay focused on evaluating the antioxidant capacities of some curcuminoids by utilizing the scavenging properties of hydroxyl radical and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical; to obtain these curcuminoids, an extraction process was carried out, column chromatography was needed to separate each one of the analogues, then characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The theoretical approach investigates same curcuminoids docked with The Transient Receptor Potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 or TRPV1 protein (PDB ID: 5IS0) to predict their putative interactions and review its inhibition capabilities towards the selected active site and compare the results to the ligand of reference (Capsazepine) After running a DFT calculations to minimize and optimize all the curcuminoids in scope.
