Abstract
The effects of thymol (TOH), thymoquinone (TQ) and dithymoquinone (TQ2) on the reactions generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion radical (O2*-), hydroxyl radical (HO*) and singlet oxygen (1O2) were tested using the chemiluminescence (CL) and spectrophotometry methods. All tested compounds acted as scavengers of various ROS. The rate constant of 1O2-dimols quenching by thymol was calculated.Entities:
