Abstract

A series of nitrodihydroxybenzenes and nitrocaffeic acids were prepared and their hydroxyl radical (OH °) and superoxide anion (02-) scavenging activities and xanthine oxidase inhibition activities were evaluated. 2-Nitrocaffeic acid is the more potent 02- scavenger. 2- (and 5)-Nitrocaffeic acids are the more potent xanthine oxidese inhibitors.
