1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and superoxide anion radical scavenging 1 activities of heterocyclic 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines

To investigate1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide radical (SOR) 17 scavenging activities of 2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines derivatives. Free radicals are 18 highly unstable and reactive molecules/atoms. In the body, free radicals form during 19 normal and abnormal metabolism in the body and cause serious damage to other 20 biomolecules through generating oxidative stress (OS). If free radicals induced OS does 21 not neutralized properly, host multiple pathologies including several types of cancers.
