Description

## 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)

**What it is:**

1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) is a **stable free radical** commonly used in research. It is a purple solid with the chemical formula C₁₉H₁₂N₅O₆.

**Structure:**

DPPH consists of a picryl group (2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) attached to a diphenylhydrazyl radical. The unpaired electron in the nitrogen atom gives the molecule its free radical character, making it a powerful oxidizing agent.

**Why it's important for research:**

DPPH is a critical tool in various research fields, primarily due to its ability to **measure antioxidant activity**. Its importance stems from the following factors:

* **Stable Free Radical:** DPPH remains stable in solution, making it suitable for long-term studies.
* **Colorimetric Assay:** DPPH is a **deep purple** color in its oxidized form. When it reacts with an antioxidant, the purple color fades, which can be measured spectrophotometrically. This color change directly correlates with the antioxidant capacity of the tested substance.
* **Wide Applicability:** The DPPH assay is widely used to evaluate the antioxidant potential of various compounds, including:
* **Natural products:** Plants, fruits, vegetables, and other natural sources.
* **Synthetic compounds:** Pharmaceuticals, food additives, and other synthetic materials.
* **Biological samples:** Blood, serum, and tissue extracts.

**How it works:**

DPPH readily accepts an electron from antioxidants. This reduction reaction removes the free radical character of DPPH, leading to the fading of its purple color. The extent of color fading is directly proportional to the antioxidant capacity of the sample.

**Applications:**

* **Drug discovery:** Identifying potential antioxidant drugs for various diseases like cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
* **Food science:** Assessing the antioxidant properties of food ingredients and determining their shelf-life.
* **Cosmetics:** Evaluating the antioxidant potential of skincare products and their ability to protect against free radical damage.
* **Environmental research:** Investigating the antioxidant activity of natural compounds for pollution control and remediation.

**Limitations:**

* **Specificity:** DPPH does not differentiate between different antioxidant mechanisms. It only measures the ability to donate an electron to DPPH.
* **Solvent dependency:** The results can vary depending on the solvent used in the assay.
* **Potential for interferences:** Some compounds can interfere with the DPPH assay, leading to inaccurate results.

**Overall:** DPPH is a valuable tool for research, enabling scientists to assess antioxidant properties efficiently and screen potential antioxidants for various applications.
