“…In this study, four novel indane derivatives ( 1 – 4 ) were isolated ( Figure 1 ). Indanes are generally characterized by anti-tumor [ 12 ], anti-microbial [ 13 , 14 , 15 ], anti-inflammatory [ 16 , 17 ], neuroprotective [ 18 ], and antioxidant activities [ 19 ], and, thus, they have been used to develop various drugs, such as indacaterol, aprindine, and donepezil. Knowing that indanes have significant free radical scavenging activity [ 19 ], the scavenging activity of compounds 1 – 4 is analyzed herein using ABTS •+ and DPPH •+ assays.…”
