Handbook of Synthetic Antioxidants

Herausgeber: Packer, Lester

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Emphasizes the efficacy of synthetically occurring compounds in the management of free radical-mediated illnesses. The text details the design, development and delivery of therapeutic antioxidants used in the treatment of pathophysiological disorders, from amylotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) to Alzheimer's disease.

Inhaltsangabe

General concepts: approach and rationale for the design of synthetic
derivatives of natural antioxidants as therapeutic agents. Synthetic
derivatives of natural antioxidants: design and biological evaluation of
tissue-directed alpha-tocopherol analogs; physical and chemical mechanisms
of the antioxidant action of tirilazad mesylate; anionic tocopherol esters
as antioxidants and cytoprotectants. Phenolic antioxidants: phenolic
antioxidants - physiological and toxicological aspects; antioxidant
properties of probucol; antioxidant properties of the catechol derivative
nitecapone. Twenty-one aminosteroids or lazaroids: neuroprotective efficacy
and mechanisms of the lazaroids. Sulfhydryl and selenium-containing
compounds: antioxidant properties of ebselen; the development of diaryl
chalcogenides and alpha-(phenylselenenyl) ketones with antioxidant and
glutathione peroxidase-mimetic properties; modulation of glutathione.
Nitrones and nitroxides: nitrones radical traps as protectors of oxidative
damage in the central nervous system; antioxidant properties of nitroxides
and nitroxide SOD mimics. SOD mimics: mimics of superoxide dismutase. Metal
chelators: antioxidant properties of synthetic iron chelators.
