The aim was to study the COX‐1 inhibiting efficacy in context with hydroxyl radical scavenging properties of compounds bearing a carboxylic acid and ester function, respectively. In general, the acids are more potent radical scavengers than the corresponding esters but there is no clear correlation with their COX‐1 inhibiting potencies. A feasible scavenging mechanism of carboxylic acids is discussed.
