Abstract
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%.
