Research

ANTIOXIDANTS - Study of polyphenols, 3-pyridinols and 5-pyrimidinols as chain-breaking antioxidants. INHIBITORS OF POLYMERIZATION. Study of 3-pyridinols and 5-pyrimidinols in the reaction with carbon centered radicals with regard to their ability to inhibit free-radical polymerization processes. FREE RADICALS. Study od persistent radical species such as nitroxides able to catalyze the oxygen or hydrogen peroxide mediated oxidation of hydrocarbons. RADICAL PROCESSES IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. Study of analytical-diagnostic procedures to identify and quantify oxidative stress in biological systems or to investigate the radical-transfer process in synthetic polypeptides.
