Prooxidant toxicity of polyphenolic antioxidants to HL-60 cells: description of quantitative structure-activity relationships.

Polyphenolic antioxidants exhibited a dose-dependent toxicity against human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). Their action was accompanied by malondialdehyde formation, and was partly prevented by desferrioxamine and the antioxidant N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylene diamine. This points to a prooxidant ... View More
