Biophenols and antioxidant activity, structure - activity relationship
Abstract
Structure-activity relationship studies are a key factor in selecting suitable biophenols as antioxidants depending on the desirable mode of use. Such relationships for AH have not yet thoroughly investigated. In addition, many methodologies testing the antioxidant activity of AH are re-evaluated concerning their suitability to define SAR among biophenols. In this view, and prior to any SAR studies an investigation of methodologies that estimate the radical scavenging activity (DPPH?, ABTS?+) of biophenols was carried out to find whether they can produce meaningful results for SAR studies. The DPPH? test and especially the one based on the kinetic study of the reaction between the AH and the radical, can produce data that are suitable in SAR studies. On the contrary using the ΑBTS?+ test meaningful results cannot be produced since weak antioxidants are found equally or more active than others known to possess strong antioxidant properties. For this reason the DPPH? test was used mainly ...
