A companion volume to the Handbook of Antioxidants. Emphasizes the efficacy of synthetically occurring compounds in the management of free radical-mediated illnesses. Details the design, development, and delivery of therapeutic antioxidants used in the treatment of pathophysiological disorders from amylotrophiclateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis to Alzheimer's disease. The Handbook of Synthetic Antioxidants describes water-soluble quaternary ammonium tocopherol analogs and 2,3-dihydro-benzofuran-5-ol derivatives in myocardial reperfusion injury and cerebrovascular diseases uses U-74,006F and related congenes to delineate the physicochemical modes of action of lipophilic antioxidants, optimizing drug design for central nervous system disorders reviews d-a-tocopheryl hemisuccinate and dl-a-tocopheryl phosphate protection of subcellular fractions, cells, tissues, and experimental animals elucidates the vitamin E and b-carotene relation to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, including their possible mechanisms of tumorigenetic modulation and anticarcinogenic action examines nitecapone's role in the treatment of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases and more.
