In the quest to explore mechanism of action of organochalcogens a series of them are tested for their structuralactivity relationship using rat’s brain preparation. Dichalcogenides are better anti-oxidants than structurally analogues mono- chalcogenides. Effects of electron donating and withdrawing groups have been explored and explained in detail. We have also proved that structural isomerisation does not influence the anti-oxidant activity of these compounds.
