Overview of the difference in thiol toxicity between quercetin and tamarixetin. Tamarixetin and quercetin both protect against radical toxicity. The oxidized products that arise in this process (QQ and TQ) are thiol reactive. In the presence of ascorbate TQ preferentially passes its reactivity to ascorbate. An extra advantage is that ascorbate recycles TQ to the parent compound.
