REVIEW ON TO FREE RADICALS, ANTIOXIDANTS AND BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OXIMES

Abstract

The present review gives the simple and convenient routes for the synthesis of various oxime derivatives. These compounds show promise regarding their applications as antioxidants. Oximes and oxime ethers have vital pharmaceutical and synthetic applications. The oxime/ oxime ether is incorporated into many organic medicinal agents, including some antibiotics, for example, gemifloxacin mesylate, pralidoxime chloride and obidoxime chloride are used in the treatment of poisoning by organophosphate insecticides like malathion and diazinon. The results obtained were very interesting, encouraging and it opens a new pathway for further investigation in this area. These aspects which promise us to have pharmaceutical, industrial and commercial applications.
