QSPR Modeling and Experimental Determination of the Antioxidant Activity of Some Polycyclic Compounds in the Radical-Chain Oxidation Reaction of Organic Substrates.

The present work addresses the quantitative structure−antioxidant activity relationship in a series of 148 sulfur-containing alkylphenols, natural phenols, chromane, betulonic and betulinic acids, and 20-hydroxyecdysone using GUSAR2019 software. Statistically significant valid models were constructed to predict the parameter logk7, where k7 is the rate constant for the oxidation chain termination by the antioxidant molecule. These results can be used to search for new potentially effective antioxidants in virtual libraries and databases and adequately predict logk7 for test samples.

QSAR Assessing the Efficiency of Antioxidants in the Termination of Radical-Chain Oxidation Processes of Organic Compounds.

Using the GUSAR 2013 program, the quantitative structure-antioxidant activity relationship has been studied for 74 phenols, aminophenols, aromatic amines and uracils having lgk = 0.01-6.65 (where k is the rate constant for the reaction of antioxidants with peroxyl radicals generated upon oxidation).
