J. Taira et al., EFFECTIVE INHIBITION OF HYDROXYL RADICALS BY HYDROXYLATED BIPHENYL COMPOUNDS, Free radical research communications, 19, 1993, pp. 190000071-190000077
In aqueous media, approximate rate constants for the reactions between
hydroxyl radicals (.OH) and biphenyl compounds such as dehydrodieugen
ol, magnolol, honokiol, dehydrodidihydroeugenol, dehydrodivanillyl alc
ohol, and dehydrodicreosol were estimated by competition reactions for
.OH between these biphenyls and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide(DMPO
). By measuring the decrease in the height of the EPR signals of the .
OH spin adduct, rate constants in the order of 10(9) to 10(10) M were
measured.
