Аннотация: 3-(2,5-Dimethoxy-3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)propan-1-amines were synthesized in three steps in 62–68% overall yields using apiol extracted from parsley seeds as a starting material. The compounds obtained being structurally similar to neurotropic amphetamines demonstrated in vitro radical scavenging activity in mouse brain lipids and red blood cells together with the lack of embryotoxicity in the sea urchin embryo model. The presence of pyrrolidine or morpholine moieties was beneficial for the antioxidant activity.

Ключевые слова: apiol, 3-(methylenedioxyphenyl)propan-1-amines, neurotropic amphetamines, parsley seeds, antioxidant activity, sea urchin.
