The antioxidative activity of ferrocenes bearing either 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol or phenyl groups has been compared using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) test and in the study of the in vitro impact on lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenate and on some characteristics of rat liver mitochondria. The results of DPPH test at20∘C show that the activity depends strongly upon the presence of phenolic group but is improved by the influence of ferrocenyl fragment. The activity of N-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)iminomethylferrocene (1), for instance, was 88.4%, which was higher than the activity of a known antioxidant 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) (48.5%), whereas the activity of N-phenyl-iminomethylferrocene2was almost negligible−2.9%. The data obtained demonstrate that the compounds with 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol moiety are significantly more active than the corresponding phenyl analogues in the in vitro study of lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenate. Ferrocene1performs a promising behavior as an antioxidant and inhibits the calcium-dependent swelling of mitochondria. These results allow us to propose the potential cytoprotective (neuroprotective) effect of ditopic compounds containing antioxidant 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol group and redox active ferrocene fragment.

The aerobic incubation of brain afer a period of ischemia induced lipid peroxidation. The effect was greatest in vitamin E—deficient rats, intermediate in vitamin E—normal rats, and least in animals supplemented with vitamin E. In contrast, nitrogen incubation following ischemia produced a small effect only in the vitamin E—deficient animals. It appears that reoxygenation is required for lipid peroxides to accumulate in the brain. However, a trace of oxygen remaining during extreme ischemic hypoxia may be sufficient to cause slow propagation of free radical reactions when the vitamin E level is low.
