Cyclic voltammetry was used to study the interaction of four quinoline
∙ −derivatives with superoxide anion radical (O 2 ). This method is based
on the decrease of the anodic peak current of the superoxide anion
radical O∙ 2 − generated electrochemically by the reduction of molecular
oxygen O2 dissolved in acetonitrile. The results obtained reveal that all
derivatives showed a higher antioxidant activity than the standard used
BHT. The binding parameters of the studied compounds were
estimated in terms of binding constant (kb ), ratio of Binding Constants
(K Red ⁄K Ox ) and binding Gibbs free energy (ΔG°). From the results, it
appears that the binding constant kb of the tested compounds is very
high ranged from 15922 to 26181 L.mol-1 while negative values of ΔG°
indicate the spontaneity of the antiradical reaction. It was also found
that interaction of the reduced form O∙ 2 − with all derivatives is stronger
than the oxidized form O2 with ratio of binding constants values in the
range 1.21-159.
