Polyhydroxylated aromatic compounds, both synthetic and natural, are important biological antioxidants. Didox is a synthetic, simple antioxidant that has been found to lower the levels of oxidative injury markers in the brains of HIV patients with dementia (1). It also increases the radiosensitivity of cancer cells by inhibiting ribonucleotide reductase, resulting in a reduction of bcl-2 mediated resistance to apoptosis (2).
