Abstract

Antioxidants is a kind of substances that can effectively inhibit the oxidation reaction of free radicals. There are many chemical components with antioxidant activity in natural products. Sesamol is one of the natural products with antioxidant activity, and it is often used as an antioxidant in food, medicine and other fields. In the present study, sesame was used as the extraction raw material for the extraction and separated of sesamol with antioxidant activity. On this basis, a total 10 of sesamol derivatives were synthesized by two steps reaction with sesamol as starting material. The antioxidant activity of these sesamol derivatives were tested, and the test results showed that these sesamol derivatives had a good antioxidant activity, among them, compound 4d had the best antioxidant activity. Sesamol derivatives can be used as an antioxidant in food, medicine and other fields and it needs a further study.

Keywords: Antioxidant; Natural product; Sesamol derivatives.
