Antioxidant activity of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives

Antioxidants are chemicals that prevent oxidation of other chemicals. They protect main cell components neutralizing the damaging effects of free radicals, which are natural by-products of cell metabolism.

In a normal cell there is antioxidant balance, suitable to oxidant. However, this balance can be shifted. This stage is called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress causes damage of biopolymers including nucleic acids, proteins, fatty acids and carbohydrates.

This molecular mechanism of cell damage leads to the formation of wide range of cytotoxic products, most of which are aldehydes, such as malonic dialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal. Oxidative stress leads to serious cell damage that causes various human diseases.

Therefore, the search for substances that could not only prevent but also  increase the stability of  human body and hinder the process of oxidative stress is important task of medicine and pharmacy.

The main  aim of our research was to study the antioxidant activity of (AOA) 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. In series of screening studies the original compounds of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives of AOA compounds were used in vitro experiments (table. 1)

Lipoprotein suspension of yolk eggs, LPO initiative in which was carried out using ferrous iron ions was used as a model system to determine the total AOA of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives. Experimental substances were added to the suspension in concentration of 10-3 mol / l.

The intensity of leading peroxide oxidation of lipids (POL) processes in a model system was appraised with the concentration of active products that react with 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA-AP).

The results of definition AOA 1,2,4-triazole derivatives have obtained. It was found that compounds of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives in different stage of displaying were able to inhibit the generation of free radicals.

Thus, potassium 2-((4-amino-3-(morpholinomethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)thio)acetate (PKR-173) which  depress the formation of end products POL – TBA-AP on 95,37% (ð˂0,001) has the most expressive ÀÎÀ.

As a result of studies some "structure-action" regularity that could be used in further purposeful search for substances with antioxidant activity.
