D. Stajner et al., SCAVENGER PROPERTIES OF SYNTHETIC NAPHTHENIC METHYL-ESTERS, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. C, A journal of biosciences, 53(9-10), 1998, pp. 871-875
To study the scavenger properties four naphthenic methyl esters were s
ynthesized. The abilities of the compounds to act as radical scavenger
s were investigated in an experimental epinephrine/adrenochrome model
using enzymic and non-enzymic systems. We found that our particular co
mpounds exhibited radical scavenger activity and superoxide-dismutase
activity inhibition. Investigated compounds also showed physiological
activity. In the auxin test one compound induced elongation of the whe
at coleoptile by 35%.
