Abstract
Melatonin (Mel) and some of its active metabolites such as N1-acetyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AMK), N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynuramine (AFMK), 6-hydroxymelatonin (6OHM), and the analogues Ir and It recently designed by Galano's group, have been studied within density functional theory (DFT). The purpose is to evaluate some plausible mechanisms of action of melatonin's metabolites and analogues with the free radicals (FR): OH ̇, NO ̇2, HOO ̇, and CH3O͘ . We calculated global chemical reactivity descriptors from conceptual DFT to evaluate their antiradical properties. We used water and pentyl ethanoate as solvents to simulate the physiological conditions, modeled via the continuum solvation model based on density (SMD). We assess the following plausible mechanisms: single electrons transfer (SET), hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibition. We performed our calculations at the M06-2X/6-31+G* level of theory. The results indicate that Mel, AMK, AFMK, 6OHM, It, and Ir are good antiradicals towards the FRs: NO ̇2 and CH3O , while It and Ir could be suitable XO inhibitors. Keywords: Antiradical properties; Density Functional Theory; melatonin; xanthine oxidase; molecular docking. Resumen.

期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
