How Can the Toxic Effects of Reactive Functional Groups be Mitigated?
Mitigating the toxic effects involves several strategies, such as:
Chemical modification: Altering the chemical structure to reduce reactivity. Use of antioxidants: Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals generated by reactive groups, thereby reducing oxidative stress. Pharmacological intervention: Developing drugs that can inhibit the biological pathways affected by these groups. Regulatory measures: Establishing guidelines and limits for exposure to chemicals containing these groups.
