In this study, a series of 2,4-dichlorothiazolyl thiazolidine-2,4-dione (Ia-f) and 4-chloro-2-benzylsulfanylthiazolyl-thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (IIa-f) were tested for their antioxidant properties by determining their effects on superoxide anion formation, and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) stable free radical. Compound Ic showed the best superoxide anion scavenging activity at the 10(-3) M and 10(-4) M concentrations. The compounds (Ia-f and IIa-f) had the strong DPPH radical scavenger capacity at the 10(-3) M concentration. Compound Ib, Id, and Ie showed similar activity to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at 10(-3) M and 10(-4) M concentrations.
