Photoprotective activity of heteroaromatic compounds (derivatives of 3-hydroxypyridine, amino-6-hydroxybenzothiazole, and 5-hydroxybenzimidazole) was studied in the system of UV-induced cardiolipin peroxidation. Although all three compounds had the antioxidant effect during free radical oxidation of luminol, only derivatives of amino-6-hydroxybenzothiazole and 5-hydroxybenzimidazole inhibited the process of UV-induced lipid peroxidation. The 3-hydroxypyridine derivative did not inhibit UV-induced cardiolipin peroxidation, which was probably related to degradation of this compound under the influence of UV light and formation of degradation products that cannot inhibit free radical processes.
