Description

Summary: Anilinoacridines and acridi nylhydrazides derivatives 1-29 have been screened for their in vitro DPPH free radical scavenging activity. Compounds 19 (IC 50 = 22.15 macro M), 16 (IC 50 = 24.95 macro M), and 17 (IC 50 = 34.23 micro M) showed an excellent antioxidant potential superior to standard t -butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (IC50 = 44.7 micro M). A structure-activity relationship has been developed and it has been found that compounds 16, 17 and 18 possess allylic carbon which upon abstraction of hydrogen radical becomes more stable mesomerically.
