Design, synthesis, and biological characterization of potential antiatherogenic nitric oxide releasing tocopherol analogs
摘要:
Synthesis and biological characterization of a series of alpha-tocopherol analogs with NO-releasing capacity are reported. The selected NO-donor moieties were nitrooxy and furoxan. All products were tested for their in vitro NO-releasing capacities, vasodilating properties, and antiplatelet activity. They were also capable of preventing LDL oxidation. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
