The synthesis of natural products 2-(2,3-dibromo-4,5-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid ( 1 ) and 2-(2,6-dibromo-3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid ( 2 ) and as well as their derivatives 25 and 26 were carried out by substitution, hydrolysis and demethylation reactions of the corresponding four benzyl bromides. The antioxidant potentials of benzylic acid-derived bromophenols were, for the first time, appraised by several outstanding bioanalytical methods. Besides these, we estimated the antioxidant effects which were studied using the methods of DPPH·, ABTS •+ scavenging activities, ferric (Fe 3+ ) and cupric (Cu 2+ ) ions and Fe 3+ -TPTZ reducing capacities. Benzylic acid-derived bromophenols were found as effective DPPH • , and ABTS •+ scavengers. The potential antioxidant activities of bromophenol derivatives 1, 2 and 17–28 were compared to standard antioxidants including BHA, BHT, α-Tocopherol, and Trolox, which is a water-soluble analog of vitamin E. We expect that this innovative work will direct future studies exploring the antioxidant properties of food, medicinal, and industrial applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
