Effects of a number of quinones and diphenols of various structures on free-radical fragmentation processes taking place in alpha-diols, glycerol, 2-aminoethanol, glycero-1-phosphate, ethylene glycol monobutyrate, maltose, and some lipids were investigated. Quinone additions have been found to change the direction of free-radical transformations of the compounds cited above by inhibiting formation of the respective fragmentation products owing to oxidation of radicals of the starting compounds. The results obtained and literature data available allow a suggestion to be made that the system quinone/diphenol is able to not only deactivate or generate such active species as O2.- but also control the realization probability of free-radical processes of peroxidation and fragmentation in biologically important molecules.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
