The design of antioxidant pharmaceuticals is a major challenge for the treatment of many clinical conditions and in aging. Free radical damage (FRD) is primarily catalysed by iron catalytic centers. Most of the natural and synthetic antioxidants are ineffective in inhibiting FRD because of the achievement of low concentrations at the affected tissues. Despite that many chelators inhibit FRD in ...
