AbstractE‐DRS is a novel salvianolic acid A (SAA) analog, which was synthesized from resveratrol (RES) and methyldopate. Its structure is similar to that of SAA, but the 3′,4′‐dihydroxy‐trans‐stilbene group and the ester structure in SAA were replaced by the RES structure and an amine group, respectively. E‐DRS scavenged free oxygen radicals effectively, including superoxide anion (ascorbic acid > E‐DRS > SAA ≥ rutin > RES) and DPPH radical (rutin > E‐DRS ≥ ascorbic acid > SAA > RES), and exhibited powerful tota...
