What is Antioxidant activity of synthetic cytokinin analogues: 6-alkynyl- and 6-alkenylpurines as novel 15-Lipoxygenase inhibitors about?

Synthetic cytokinin analogues as well as the well known CKs 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), kinetin and trans-zeatin were examined for antioxidant activity. The compounds were tested as potential diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavengers and as inhibitors of 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO). The natural plant hormones were essentially inactive in both assays, but several synthetic analogues have a profound inhibiting effect on 15-lipoxygenase from soybeans. The same compounds were only weak DPPH scavengers and they may therefore be regarded as so-called non antioxidant inhibitors of 15-LO.
