Investigating of the antioxidant activity of firstly synthesized benzimidazole derivatives

Antioxidant is a defence mechanism in thehuman body preventing the occurence of oxygen types and the damage generated by them. They are used for neutralizing free radicals. The presence of antioxidants activity indicates the presence of the defense mechanism against the various diseases in the human body. In this study, activities of for the first time synthesized benzimidazole compounds antioxidant activities are investigated spectrophotometrically. The antioxidant activities of benzimidazole derivatives were investigated by different antioxidant tests such as DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing power. All results were compared with synthetic antioxidants such as BHT and Trolox. As the result of the study, antioxidant activity level of the compounds especially 2, 5, 6, 10 and 11 which are benzimidazole derivatives are found higher extent too there compounds.
