The scavenging effects of eighteen thiazolyl thiazolidine-2,4-dione compounds (TTCs) on superoxide radical O(2)radical anion hydroxyl radical HO center dot, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH center dot) radical were evaluated by the chemiluminescence technique, electron spin resonance spectrometry (ESR) and visible spectrophotometry, respectively. The examined compounds were shown to have 27-59% O(2)radical anion scavenging ability, 19-69% HO center dot scavenging activity and 2-32% DPPH center dot scavenging ability. This property of the tested compound seems to be important in the prevention of various diseases of free radicals etiology. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
