Title: Flavonoids, Coumarins, and Cinnamic Acids as Antioxidants in a Micellar System. Structure−Activity Relationship

Results are expressed as relative antioxidant efficiency (RAE), defined as the ratio of the antioxidant efficiency (AE) of the tested compound to that of α-tocopherol. The best RAE values were observed for flavonoids, followed by coumarins and cinnamic acids. From the results, within each class of compounds a structure−activity relationship can be deduced. Keywords: Antioxidant; flavonoids; coumarins; cinnamic acids and esters; relative antioxidant efficiency (RAE); lipid peroxyl radicals; α-tocopherolRead More
