QSAR Studies of Some Thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridines as Novel Antioxidant Agents: Enhancement of Activity by Some Molecular Structure Parameters

The antioxidant activity of novel N3 and C6 substituted 5,7-dimethyl-3H-thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-one derivatives was evaluated in vitro by the method of scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. The correlation analysis between the antioxidant activity and different subsets molecular descriptors was carried out for 19 compounds.

Effect of Polystyrene/Fullerene Composites on the Lipid Peroxidation in Blood Serum

Pure polystyrene films and polystyrene films filled with fullerenes (C60+C70 mix) were fabricated by the solution cast method. Effect of polystyrene/fullerene composite on free-radical processes in blood serum has been investigated in vitro. The parameters of lipid peroxidation in native serum after adding the composite films were determined by a chemiluminescent analysis and spectrophotometry. It was revealed that fullerene-containing nanocomposites can manifest antioxidant activity in blood serum
