Abstract

A series of 5-phenyl-substituted-N-alkyl-imidazolin-2-ones with potent radical-scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation inhibitory activity was synthesized. Many of the compounds showed memory-improving effect in animal models independent of the inhibitory activity on lipid peroxidation.
