ABSTRACT A series of 3,5-dialkoxy-4-hydroxycinnamamides 6 and 7 was synthesized, and their antioxidant activity was assessed using the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) assay. Interestingly, cinnamamides with longer alkoxy groups on the C-3 and C-5 positions display enhanced inhibition, and most of the compounds in the series tested exhibit excellent lipid peroxidation inhibitory activities. Some cinamamides bearing hexyloxy or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl phenol groups have submicromolar inhibitory activities.
