  • Patent number: 9738606
    Abstract: A compound of Formula I, Formula IA, Formula IB, or Formula II, or an acid or base addition salt thereof, and use of these compounds as antioxidants. In one embodiment, a compound of Formula II, wherein each of X, Y, and Z are independently a carbon or nitrogen atom; R1 and R2 are each independently a hydrogen or an electron donating group, but are not both hydrogen, and wherein R1, and R2 are each bonded to a carbon atom in their own respective aryl ring.

  • Publication number: 20100041683
    Abstract: Compounds, preferably 5-pyrimidinol and 3-pyridinol derivatives, that act as effective chain breaking antioxidants of both the lipid and water-soluble variety (analogous to the natural Vitamins E and C), many of which are more reactive toward peroxyl radicals than the most potent form of Vitamin E. These compounds may exhibit many chemopreventive effects associated with conditions in which free radical-mediated cellular damage or disruption is implicated and Vitamins E and C are shown to have protective effects. Additionally, these compounds should be excellent oxidation inhibitors as additives to fuels, lubricants, rubber, polymers, chemicals, solvents and foodstuffs.
