Metal binding and antioxidative properties of novel Coenzyme Q-0 derivatives/Металокомплексирачки и антиоксидативни својства на нови деривати на Коензим Q-0

Results from the Coenzyme Q-0 project in the first year

PROJECT TITLE:  Metal binding and antioxidative properties of novel Coenzyme Q-0 derivatives/Металокомплексирачки и антиоксидативни својства на нови деривати на Коензим Q-0

In this project we focus on synthesizing new derivatives of Coenzyme Q-0 by its reaction in alkaline media. The identification of the reaction products is achieved via chromatographic methods, while their redox, metal-binding and antioxidative properties are evaluated by using voltammetric and EPR (Electron paramagnetic resonance) technique. A Master thesis is due to be defended from the topic elaborated in this project. All the derivatives synthesized in this project are potential antioxidants and metal-ion ligands, while showing high potential toward eliminating various reactive oxygen species. Their potential application in pharmacy and medicine is currently investigated.
