Free radical scavengers

AFMK (Formyl-N-acetyl-5-methoxykynurenamine) is an active metabolite of Melatonin with antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity. AFMK is a modulator of apoptosis and improves the anti-tumor effect of Gemcitabine in PANC-1 cells.

Echinatin (Retrochalcone) is extracted from licorice and is a natural chalcone. Echinatin has a wide range of biological activities including hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial infections, and attenuates lung damage.

Edaravone (MCI-186) is a potent new free radical scavenger used for the therapy of patients with acute brain infarction.

Maclurin (NSC-83240) is a phenolic component of mulberry twigs, exerts anti-metastatic effects. Maclurin effectively protects against OH-induced damages to DNA and MSCs and can be used in studies about the prevention of many diseases or MSCs transplantation.

Rebamipide (OPC12759) is a quinolinone derivative with anti-ulcer and anti-inflammatory activities. Rebamipide induces cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) synthesis which results in an increase in endogenous prostaglandin synthesis in the gastric mucosa. This agent also inhibits H. pylori-induced production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and subsequent inflammation of the gastric mucosa. In addition, rebamipide scavenges oxygen-derived free radicals that potentially cause mucosal injury, and stimulates prostaglandin EP4 receptor gene expression followed by mucous secretion, thereby enhancing the gastric mucosal defense.

Rubiadin (1,3-Dihydroxy-2-Methylanthracene-9,10-Dione) possesses potent antioxidant property, it can prevent lipid peroxidation induced by FeSO4 and t-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) in a dose dependent manner.

Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) shows broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities. Cyclo(L-Phe-L-Pro) exhibits activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus and Enterococcus raffinosus.

Tempo (2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinooxy) has a wide range of applications including use as a free radical scavenger, a reagent in organic synthesis and as a structural probe in electron spin resonance spectroscopy.

Retusin is derived from the leaves of Talinum triangulare. Retusin Retusin can be used in studies about acting as pre- and postemergent herbicides.

Isomangiferin has an antiviral effect, may due to their capability of inhibiting virus replication within cells. It also has antioxidant and radical-scavenging activities.

4'-Methoxyflavonol is a synthetic flavonol with an additional 3-hydroxyl group and higher antioxidant capacity than 4'-Methoxyflavone.4'-Methoxyflavonol interacts with the lipid bilayer of DPPC model membranes, and is capable of scavenging free radicals and antioxidant activity in DPPH assays, and exhibits some antiproliferative activity against K562 and MCF-7 cancer cell lines.

Fullerene-C60 is a potent free radical scavenger with a wide range of bioactivities that can attenuate liver injury and hepatotoxicity, and improve intestinal flora structure and lipid homeostasis.

Sodium 4-aminosalicylate dihydrate (4-Amino-salicylic acid sodium salt) is the sodium salt form of aminosalicylic acid, an analog of para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) with antitubercular activity. Sodium 4-aminosalicylate dihydrate exerts its bacteriostatic activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis by competing with PABA for enzymes involved in folate synthesis, thereby suppressing growth and reproduction of M. tuberculosis, eventually leading to cell death.

Peonidin-3-O-glucoside chloride (Peonidin 3-Glucoside Chloride) is an anthocyanin with radical scavenger activity and can be used in studies about acting as an insulin secretagogue.

Cycloolivil (Isoolivil) is a natural polyphenolic compound found in olive trees that exhibits significant radical scavenging and antioxidant activities. It may prevent thrombotic complications associated with platelet hyperaggregability and serve as a foundational compound for further research.
