The antioxidant activity of new hydrazones derived from bisdemethoxycurcumin pyrazole was investigated. The study was divided into two main parts: The first one includes the synthesis and characterization of the target compounds from bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), while the second step is devoted to the investigation of their antioxidant activities. In the first step of synthesis, the curcumin-pyrazole (2) was synthesized by the reaction of BDMC with hydrazine hydrate. Later, the obtained product treated with ethyl 2chloroacetate to produce curcumine ester (3), then the product was converted to hydrazide (4) by the reaction of curcumin ester (3) with hydrazine hydrate. Finally, curcumine hydrazones (5a-f) were synthesized from the reaction of hydrazide (4) with substituted aromatic aldehydes. All compounds were characterized with the aid of suitable spectroscopic techniques. The antioxidant activity of the prepared compounds was studied against the stable radical α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl. The study showed that only the phenolic OHcontaining compounds (2, 5b and 5f) have antioxidant activity.
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.
