Abstract
Water or lipid soluble, pharmacologically active, antioxidant, anti-phospholipase compounds that are chemically defined. The compounds protect mammalian cells by inhibiting PLA.sub.2 and preventing oxidation. In particular, each compound has at least two fatty moieties and no active hydroxy group. The compound may also have at least one ionizable group, which may be a carboxyl group, and each of the fatty moieties has from sixteen to twenty carbon atoms and at least one cis-unsaturated double bond.
