Abstract
This paper describes the discovery of a novel free radical scavenger, 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one (edaravone, 1), as a potent antioxidant agent against lipid peroxidation. The structure-activity relationship of edaravone indicated that lipophilic substituents were essential to show its lipid peroxidation-inhibitory activity. In vivo studies revealed that edaravone showed brain-protective activity in a transient ischemia model.Entities:
