Visualization of UV and ECD spectra of E&Z isomers of N-(4'-Hydroxy-cinnamoyl)- 5- hydroxyanthranilic acid.

Avenanthramides are secondary metabolites most prominently found in oat (Avena sativa.L). These are amides of cinnamoyl-anthranilic acids derivatives.

Quantum chemical investigation of the antiradical property of avenanthramides, oat phenolics.

Avenanthramides (AVs) are polyphenolic components found in oats. The present work is devoted to the exploration of structure-based radical scavenging activity of nine AVs; and , using M06-2X functional level of density functional theory with basis set 6-31+G(d, p) both in gas and ethanol medium. The act of compounds towards the electron transfer mechanism was analyzed with the help of a Donor-acceptor map (DAM) and classified as antioxidants and anti-reductants.
