Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic compositions based on compounds chosen from the formulae: ##STR1## in which: X is chosen from .dbd.S, .dbd.O, .dbd.SO, .dbd.N--OH, .dbd.N--R.sub.5, .dbd.N--NH--CONH.sub.2, .dbd.N--NH--CSNH.sub.2 and ##STR2## A is chosen from the >C.dbd.N--OH group, a group of formula >C.dbd.N--OR.sub.3, a C.dbd.O group, a group C.dbd.N--R.sub.4 and a CHOH group,and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.These compositions may be used as free-radical trapping agents.
