reactive oxygen species, radical chain oxidation, phenolic antioxidantsAbstract
Antioxidants of the phenolic type are able to prevent the cytotoxic effect of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, questions regarding the behavior of active oxygen formations and mechanisms that prevent their toxic effect in the presence of phenolic inhibitors remain relevant. The purpose of the study is to compare the action of different types of phenolic antioxidants in the presence of superoxide anion in the processes of radical-chain oxidation by molecular oxygen. The research was carried out using gas volumetric, spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods. The effect of phenolic antioxidants in the radical-chain oxidation of isopropylbenzene initiated by azodiisobutyronitrile in the presence of an anion-oxygen radical by С-Н was considered. The effect of reducing the effectiveness of inhibitors in the presence of oxygen radical anion was revealed. Possible mechanisms of superoxide anion participation in radical chain oxidation were analyzed. A conclusion was made regarding the effectiveness of antioxidant action in the reaction of radical-chain oxidation along C-H bonds with the participation of peroxyl radicals. It can significantly decrease in the presence of superoxide radical anion in the reaction system. The degree of reduction depends on the chemical structure of the antioxidant.
