Compounds, preferably 5-pyrimidinol and 3-pyridinol derivatives, that act as effective chain breaking antioxidants of both the lipid and water-soluble variety (analogous to the natural Vitamins E and C), many of which are more reactive toward peroxyl radicals than the most potent form of Vitamin E. These compounds may exhibit many chemopreventive effects associated with conditions in which free radical-mediated cellular damage or disruption is implicated and Vitamins E and C are shown to have protective effects. Additionally, these compounds should be excellent oxidation inhibitors as additives to fuels, lubricants, rubber, polymers, chemicals, solvents and foodstuffs.
化合物,最好是5-
嘧啶醇和3-
吡啶醇衍
生物,作为有效的链断裂
抗氧化剂,既可以溶解于脂质又可以溶解于
水(类似于
天然维生素E和C),其中许多对过
氧自由基的反应性比最有效的
维生素E形式更高。这些化合物可能展现出许多与自由基介导的细胞损伤或破坏相关的
化学预防效应,而
维生素E和C已经显示出具有保护作用。此外,这些化合物应该作为
添加剂,对燃料、润滑剂、橡胶、
聚合物、
化学品、溶剂和食品等具有出色的
氧化抑制作用。
