Studies on the antioxidant activity of some thiazolidinedione, imidazolidinedione and rhodanine derivatives having a flavone core
ABSTRACT A series of flavonyl‐2,4‐thiazolidinedione, imidazolidinedione and rhodanine derivatives were tested for their antioxidant activity as scavengers of oxygen free radicals.

Summary: | ABSTRACT
A series of flavonyl‐2,4‐thiazolidinedione, imidazolidinedione and rhodanine derivatives were tested for their antioxidant activity as scavengers of oxygen free radicals. Free radical scavenging activities, including superoxide anion radical O2•¯, hydroxyl radical (HO•) and 2,2′‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl free radical have been evaluated using chemiluminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance and spin trapping with 5,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrroline‐1‐oxide as a spin trap. Potassium superoxide in dimethylsulfoxide and 18‐crown‐6 ether were used for the production of O2•¯. Hydroxyl radical was generated using the Fenton reaction. Ten of the eleven examined compounds exhibited decrease in chemiluminescence, but there were large differences in the decrease, ranging from 16% to 89%; also, two of these compounds increased light emission by about 200%. On the contrary, all compounds tested exhibited 30–68% scavenging HO• and 25–96% scavenging the DPPH• radical respectively. Possible mechanisms are proposed to explain the results.
