Article: Synthesis, Characterization and Antioxidant Property of Quercetin-Tb(III) Complex

Purpose: Nearly all of flavonoids are good metal chelators and can chelate many metal ions to form different complexes. This article describes a synthesis of Quercetin-Tb(III) in methanol, characterized by using elemental analysis, UV-visible and evaluation of its antioxidant properties.

Methods: The formation of complexes is realized from the UV-visible spectra which shows that the successive formation of Quercetin-Tb(III) occurs. To find out the antioxidant activity variation and the role of Tb(III) ion on the antioxidant activity of the complexes different radical scavenging methods such as: 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2'-azinobis 3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) were used.

Results: The results from DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods showed that Quercetin and Quercetin-Tb(III) complex are capable of donating electron or hydrogen atom, and consequently could react with free radicals or terminate chain reactions in a time- and dose-dependent manner.

Conclusion: This study showed that the chelation of metal ions by Quercetin decrease the redox potential of Quercetin-metal complex.
