| Abstract | Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system resulting in memory loss and dementia. Some of the associated pathogenic changes are amyloid peptide aggregation, excitotoxicity, oxidative stress and inflammation. Oxidative stress plays an indispensable role in the pathophysiology of AD. Therefore, antioxidant therapies appear to be promising approaches in dealing with AD patients. In that line, we evaluated the free radical scavenging capabilities of 13 different chalcones (1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one) derivatives against the free-radical damaging effects of hydrogen peroxide $(H_{2}O_{2})$ on the SK-N-MC neuroblastoma cell line. Pretreatment of the cells for 3 h with 20 µ m of each of these derivatives (compounds 8–20) followed by exposure to 300 µ m $H_{2}O_{2}$ for 24 h indicated that all compounds, except compound 20, were capable of restoring the viabilities of cells relative to the control $(H_{2}O_{2}–treated)$ cells. The destructive effect of $H_{2}O_{2}$ on the adhesive behavior of the cells was almost totally restored by each of the derivatives. In addition, each of the derivatives except compounds 20 and 14 significantly reduced the extent of lipofuscin formation among the cells time-dependently. Despite these activities, some of the derivatives, such as compounds 12 and 19, did not reduce the $H_{2}O_{2}-induced$ intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species) levels, meaning that these two derivatives act through a different mechanism other than free-radical scavenging activity. On the other hand, for those derivatives acting as anti-oxidants, structure–activity evaluation clearly revealed that the hydroxyl group of vanillin ring is required for their free-radical scavenging activities.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
