Salen-manganese complexes as catalytic scavengers of hydrogen peroxide and cytoprotective agents: structure-activity relationship studies.
Synthetic catalytic scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may have broad clinical applicability. In previous papers, two salen-manganese complexes, EUK-8 and EUK-134, had superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activities and prevented ROS-associated tissue injury. This study describes two series of salen-manganese complexes, comparing catalytic ROS scavenging properties and cytoprotectiv...
متن کاملLithographically Fabricated 10-Micron Scale Autonomous Motors
Self-propulsion and directed movement of nanoand micro-particles can in principle provide novel components for applications in microrobotics and MEMS. Our research involves the design of catalytic propulsion systems and the control of colloidal movement based on this principle. We have designed autonomous nanomotors that mimic biological motors by using catalytic reactions to generate forces de...
متن کاملCatalytic Molecular Walkers: Aspects of Product Release
We study a model of multi-legged catalytic molecular walkers that abstract a class of recently developed synthetic molecular motors. We focus on their kinetics of release of catalytic product, delineating the influence of chemical kinetic parameters, geometric configuration, loss from surface, and bulk kinetics. We show that such walkers can achieve a uniform rate of release over long time scal...
متن کاملCatalytic Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide in the Presence of Synthesized Iron-Manganese oxide Nanocomposites via Different Methods
The special application of iron-manganese oxide nanocatalysts has been investigated in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. In this research, iron-manganese oxide nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods using iron (III) nitrate, iron (II) sulfate and manganese (II) nitrate as starting materials. These nanocomposites were prepared on the variou...
