Hydroxytyrosol is a well-known phenolic compound with antioxidant properties that is found in virgin olive oil. Studies have shown that virgin olive oil has neuroprotective effects in rats; thus the purpose of the present study was to investigate the neuroprotective effect of hydroxytyrosol in rats. Additionally, this study aimed to investigate...

A series of alkyl nitrohydroxytyrosyl ether derivatives has been synthesized from free hydroxytyrosol (HT), the natural olive oil phenol, in order to increase the assortment of compounds with potential neuroprotective activity in Parkinson's disease. In this work, the antioxidant activity of these novel compounds has been evaluated using Ferric...
