Antioxidant Properties of Natural and Synthetic Chromanol Derivatives:  Study by Fast Kinetics and Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy

Abstract: [structure: see text] Chromanol-type compounds act as antioxidants in biological systems by reduction of oxygen-centered radicals. Their efficiency is determined by the reaction rate constants for the primary antioxidative reaction as well as for disproportionation and recycling reactions of the antioxidant-derived radicals. We studied the reaction kinetics of three novel chromanols: cis- and trans-oxachromanol and the dimeric twin-chromanol, as well as ubichromanol and ubichromenol, in comparison to alpha-toc… Show more

“…Furthermore, compared to trolox (one hydroxyl) and a-tocopherol (one hydroxyl), the bichromanol 3 (2 hydroxyls) exhibited a significantly higher radical scavenging activity (P B 0.001). In agreement with the present result, a novel dimeric antioxidant containing two hydroxyl groups in fused double chromanol rings has been reported to possess better DPPH radical scavenging activity and provide double reducing power compared to a-tocopherol, [24,25]. It is well established that phenolic compounds scavenge radicals by proton donation [6].…”

“…Since its discovery in 1922,132 vitamin E has received considerable attention from chemists, biologists, and clinicians, among others 110. Due to its insolubility in water, several small water soluble analogs such as Trolox C ((±)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid) and HPMC (6-hydroxy-2,2-5,7,8-pentamethylchroman) have been developed (Scheme 8; see references 133 and 134). As shown in Table 4, these three phenols show similar thermochemistry in the same solvent.…”

“…Vitamin E consists of a head (chroman ring) which carries the active antioxidant group, and a phytyl tail. Chromanol-type compounds act as an antioxidant in biological systems by reduction of oxygen-centered radicals (Gregor et al , 2005, Tyurina et al , 1995). The chroman ring (Figure 1), 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethyl-6-chromanol (PMCol), has shown antiandrogen activity in prostate carcinoma cells and is thus considered a potent chemopreventive agent of androgen dependent cancers such as prostate cancer (Thompson and Wilding, 2003).…”
