A thorough analysis of the thermodynamic stability of various complexes of aminoguanidine (AG) with Fe(III) at a physiological pH is presented. Moreover, the secondary antioxidant activity of AG is studied with respect to its kinetic role in the Fe(III) reduction to Fe(II) when reacting with the superoxide radical anion or ascorbate. Calculations are performed at the M05(SMD)/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory. Solvent effects (water) are taken into account in both geometry optimizations and frequency calculations employing the SMD solvation method. Even though the results of this study show that AG can form an extensive number of stable complexes with Fe(III), none of these can reduce the rate constant of the initial step of the Haber–Weiss cycle when the reducing agent is O2•−. However, when the reductant is the ascorbate anion, AG is capable of reducing the rate constant of this reaction significantly, to the point of inhibiting the production of •OH radicals. In fact, the most stable complex of Fe(III) with AG, having a ∆Gf° of −37.9 kcal/mol, can reduce the rate constant of this reaction by 7.9 × 105 times. Thus, AG possesses secondary antioxidant activity relative to the Fe(III)/Fe(II) reduction with ascorbate, but not with O2•−. Similar results have also been found for AG relative to the Cu(II)/Cu(I) reduction, in agreement with experimental results.

The redox properties and antiradical activity of terpenophenols (2,6-diisobornyl-4-methylphenol and 3-isocamphyl-2-naphthol) in comparison with BHT (butylhydroxytoluol, 2,6-di-tret-butyl-4-methylphenol) have been studied. The terpenophenols have been shown to react more readily in electron transfer processes as compared with BHT, and they have been found to react with electrochemically generated superoxide radical anion (О2•–). The effect of the compounds on the rate of generation upon adrenaline oxidation in an alkaline medium and the ability of biopreparations based on Russian sturgeon liver and gonad homogenates to deactivate have been studied. Adrenaline oxidation inhibition and the increase in superoxide dismutation activity of the biopreparations in the presence of terpenophenols have been shown, and this fact can indicate the ability of these compounds to decrease the probability of oxidative stress enlargement. A correlation has been established between the redox properties and antioxidant activity of terpenophenols in the model system of adrenaline oxidation in the presence of the biopreparations.
