Scavengome of an antioxidant.

The term "scavengome" refers to the chemical space of all the metabolites that may be formed from an antioxidant upon scavenging reactive oxygen or nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). This chemical space covers a wide variety of free radical metabolites with drug discovery potential. It is very rich in structures representing an increased chemical complexity as compared to the parent antioxidant: a wide range of unusual heterocyclic structures, new CC bonds, etc.
