Nitroxyl radicals are known to act as radical scavenging antioxidants. In the present study, a lipophilic nitroxyl radical, cyclohexane-1-spiro-2'-(4'-oxyimidazolidine-1'-oxyl)-5'-spiro-1"-cyclohexane (nitroxyl radical I) was synthesized and its antioxidant capacity was assessed in comparison with a hydrophilic nitroxyl radical, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetra-methylpiperidine-N-oxyl (Tempol). Both
To improve the radical-scavenging activity of catechin, a planar catechin analogue was designed and synthesized by Fukuhara [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124 (2002) 5952]. Although the planar catechin is less active than quercetin, it is much more active than catechin
The aim of this study was to characterize the antioxidant activity of three ascorbic acid (AA) derivatives O-substituted at the C-2 position of AA: ascorbic acid 2-glucoside (AA-2G), ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA-2P), and ascorbic acid 2-sulfate (AA-2S). The radical-scavenging activities
The antioxidant activity of capsaicin (CAP) was measured in the oxidation of methyl linoleate (ML) in homogeneous solution, of ML micelles in aqueous dispersions and also of soybean phosphatidylcholine liposomal membrane, and was compared to that of alpha-tocopherol (alpha-TOH) which
