In this study, we synthesized novel artepillin C derivatives in order to enhance the radical-scavenging activity of natural antioxidants. The scavenging rate constants of DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical determined by the stopped-flow technique indicate that the introduction of the electron-donating groups on the benzene ring significantly decreases the enthalpy of the phenolic O-H bond dissociation, resulting in the enhancement of the radical-scavenging activities of the artepillin C derivatives. There results suggested that the radical-scavenging reactions of the artepillin C derivatives proceed via one-step hydrogen atom transfer rather than proton-coupled electron transfer., 15th Annual Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM)}, title = {One-Step Hydrogen Atom Transfer in Radical-Scavenging Reactions by Artepillin C Derivatives Enhanced by Electron-Donating Groups}, year = {2008} }
