RESUMEN
Novel quinoline derivatives were synthesized based on 6-amino-substituted quinoline, and antioxidant activity of these compounds is studied by p-nitroso-N,N-dimethylaniline assay. The rate of the reaction between OH radicals and quinoline derivatives is determined by photometric method and the obtained results are compared with that of well-known antioxidant vitamin C. Quinoline derivatives exhibit pronounced antioxidant activity, which strongly depends on the structural features of compounds. Photophysical properties such as UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence maxima, and Stokes shift are also reported. To reveal the potential application of novel quinoline derivatives as fluorescence probes the values of quantum yields are determined and the obtained results are explained in terms of structural features of compounds.
RESUMEN
Natural L-carvone was utilized as a starting material for an efficient synthesis of some terpenyl-derived 1,2,3-triazoles. Chlorination of carvone, followed by nucleophilic substitution with sodium azide resulted in the preparation of 10-azidocarvone. Subsequent CuAAC click reaction with propargylated derivatives provided an efficient synthetic route to a set of terpenyl-derived conjugates with increased solubility in water. All investigated compounds exhibit high antioxidant activity, which is comparable with that of vitamin C. It was also found that serum albumin and the terpenyl-1,2,3-triazoles hybrids spontaneously undergo reversible binding driven by hydrophobic interactions, suggesting that serum albumin can transport the target triazoles.
