Abstract
Disproportionation of dipyrrolylquinoxaline radical anions occurs via hydrogen atom transfer from the pyrrole moiety to the quinoxaline moiety to produce monodeprotonated dipyrrolylquinoxaline anions and monohydrodipyrrolylquinoxaline anions. In contrast, simple quinoxaline radical anions without pyr...

Abstract
Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant capacity of the cell. For long, ROS have been considered as harmful by-products of the normal aerobic metabolism process of the mitochondria, implicated in a large variety of diseas...

Abstract
Free radicals (FRs) and oxidants (Os) have different vital activities in our bodies. Biological redox reactions are the major source for FRs-Os. In normal cases, they are under the control of our body's existing antioxidant (antiO) system. If their amounts exceeds a certain limit, they start to atta...
