- Abstract
Synthesis, physicochemical, and biological characterization of a series of alpha-tocopherol mimetics with NO-releasing capacity are reported. The selected NO-donor moieties were nitrooxy and furoxan. All products were tested for their in vitro NO-releasing capacities, vasodilating properties and mammal cytotoxic activities. The lipophilic-hydrophilic balance of all products was also evaluated. A new hybrid furoxan, phenol derivative 17, possesses adequate profile of the studied properties.
