title: Synthesis and antioxidative properties of novel thiazolidinedione/imidazolidinedione compounds as retinoids.
abstract: The general term "retinoids" refers to both naturally occurring as well as synthetic compounds which exhibit biological activity similar to vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A and its two metabolites, retinaldehyde and retinoic acid, are fat-soluble unsaturated isoprenoids necessary for the growth, differentiation and maintenance of epithelial tissues. In this study, we have synthesized thiazolidinedione/imidazolidinedione compounds as retinoids. Their in vitro effects on rat liver microsomal NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation (LP) levels and superoxide anion formation were determined.
