The Investigation Of  Menthol’s Bioactivity As Theoritical By Using DFT (Density Functional Theory)

Mints are used tradational medicine for hundred years by humankind. The important constitiuent of mint, menthol, is especially in blood is eager to give reaction as an antioksidan. To understand menthol’s bioactivity in body, some thermodynamical values (gibbs free energy, dipol moment HOMO, LUMO and the difference between HOMO, LUMO) of menthol are measured by using DFT. Menthol dissolves in blood easily, reacts as antioksidant  and it is more stable than in gas form. So,It is so stable as  protecting from radicalic attracts.
