Antioxidant effect of an ?-aminophosphonate

The human body can be protected against oxidative damage from free radicals by antioxidants so the search for new molecules has become a major focus of research worldwide. In recent years researchers have turned their attention to the synthesis of lipophilic compounds called acid ?-aminophosphonates. These compounds are characterized by broad biological and pharmacological activity and thus the ability to reduce and/or treat diseases linked to oxidative stress.
