| Research Abstract |
To prevent life-style related diseases, senescence, as well as radiation damage, we designed and synthesized phenolic antioxidants with lower O-H dissociation energies (D(HT)) of the phenolic OH group or ionization potentials (IP) than natural antioxidants based on the density functional theory calculations. The compounds, thus obtained, showed significantly higher radical-scavenging activity as compared to parent antioxidants. The lower the calculated D(HT) or IP values is, the higher the radical-scavenging activity becomes. Furthermore, some of the compounds showed radioprotective activity toward rat thymocytes without toxicity. However, no correlation was observed between radical-scavenging and radioprotective activities of these antioxidants, indicating that other factors, such as lipophilicity, are important to use these compounds toward cells and animals.
