Notes:
The rate of the scavenging reaction of hyaluronic acid with hydroxyl radicals was investigated by means of competitive reaction with 4-nitrosodimethylaniline. It was found that the reactivity of hyaluronic acid with hydroxyl radicals depends on both the molecular weight and the concentration of hyaluronic acid. These features were accounted for by the characteristic molecular properties of hyaluronic acid in solution.
