The compounds were tested for in vitro biological activity on test models including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) reducing power, superoxide anion radical-scavenging activity, and lipid peroxidation activity by ferric thiocyanate. It is established that Cmplx 2 with benzimidazole ligand displays significant xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 53.80 +/- 2.69 mu M), DPPH free radical scavenging activity (79.49 +/- 1.59), and superoxide anion radical scavenging activity (75.73 +/- 2.85%). The coordination of benzenamine and benzenesulfanoamine ligands reduces lipid peroxidation as observed in the case of Cmplx 1 (87.17 +/- 3.88%) and the higher reducing power of Cmplx 1 obtained at all concentrations. It was concluded from the test results that organoruthenium complexes showed much better antioxidant activity than expected.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDPPH free radical scavengingsuperoxide anion radical scavengingxanthine oxidaselipid peroxidationreducing powerorganoruthenium complexesArticle531091492010.1007/s11094-020-02099-wQ4WOS:0005073615000022-s2.0-85078580635Q4
