This paper demonstrates for the first time that plant metabolites of the phenylamide type, conjugates of putrescine with hydroxycinnamic acids (p-coumaric, caffeic and ferulic), possess 1O2 quenching properties. Data were obtained confirming that their acidic parent compounds were also able to quench 1O2, as did polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine), and that this ability depends on the number of amino groups. Potentiation of the 1O2 quenching ability of the conjugates relative to both parent components was established. The importance of polyamines and phenylamides in the plant non-enzymatic antioxidant defence at sites of intensive 1O2 generation, such as the photosynthetic centers, was suggested.
