Syntheses and radical scavenging activities of resveratrol derivatives

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Jan 19;14(2):463-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2003.10.038.

Abstract

Nine new resveratrol derivatives, having bromo, iodo, and fluoroethyl groups, were designed and synthesized. All compounds having free phenol groups showed good free radical scavenging activity. Among them, 2-bromoresveratrol 19 has a similar free radical scavenging activity to (+)-catechin.
