When the phytyl group at the C2 position in alpha-tocopherol was replaced by methyl group, no significant change was observed [k = 3.2 x 10(3) M(-1) s(-1)]. On the other hand, a carboxyl group at the C2 position significantly retarded the GO-scavenging rate [k = 4.9 x 10(2) M(-1) s(-1)]. Among the 6-chromanol derivatives, 8-amino-2,2-dimethylchroman-6-ol showed the highest GO-scavenging activity [k = 1.4 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1)]. The smaller the calculated ionization potential by the density functional theory is, the stronger the GO-scavenging activity becomes., 18th Annual Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM 2011)}, title = {Radical-Scavenging Activity of 6-Chromanol Derivatives with Various Substituents}, year = {2011} }
