Abstract

Phenolic compounds are metal chelator, it is interesting to investigate Their metal-chelating property, which stimulates our interest to evaluate Zn(II)chelating ability and the effect of Zn(II) on its radical-scavenging activity by theoretical calculation. It was revealed that Phenolic compound could efficiently sequester Zn(II) and the Zn(II)-Phenolic compound complexes were more active than the parent compound in scavenging radicals by donating proton or electron. Therefore, Phenolic compounds are a multipotent agent, with the activities of scavenging ROS, blocking Aβ aggregation and chelating metal ions
