Superoxide dismutase mimics: chemistry, pharmacology, and therapeutic potential.

چکیده
Oxidative stress has become widely viewed as an underlying condition in a number of diseases, such as ischemia-reperfusion disorders, central nervous system disorders, cardiovascular conditions, cancer, and diabetes. Thus, natural and synthetic antioxidants have been actively sought. Superoxide dismutase is a first line of defense against oxidative stress under physiological and pathological conditions. Therefore, the development of therapeutics aimed at mimicking superoxide dismutase was a natural maneuver. Metalloporphyrins, as well as Mn cyclic polyamines, Mn salen derivatives and nitroxides were all originally developed as SOD mimics. The same thermodynamic and electrostatic properties that make them potent SOD mimics may allow them to reduce other reactive species such as peroxynitrite, peroxynitrite-derived CO(3)(*-), peroxyl radical, and less efficiently H(2)O(2). By doing so SOD mimics can decrease both primary and secondary oxidative events, the latter arising from the inhibition of cellular transcriptional activity. To better judge the therapeutic potential and the advantage of one over the other type of compound, comparative studies of different classes of drugs in the same cellular and/or animal models are needed. We here provide a comprehensive overview of the chemical properties and some in vivo effects observed with various classes of compounds with a special emphasis on porphyrin-based compounds.

Improvement of a direct spectrophotometric assay for routine determination of superoxide dismutase activity.
The growing interest in measuring superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1) in many diseases calls for useful routine assays. For this purpose, the direct spectrophotometric method of Marklund (J Biol Chem 1976;251:7504-7) was improved to offer an alternative to the imprecise, indirect assays currently used. The decay of O2.- (from KO2) at pH 9.5 was monitored as the decrease in delta A (delta A = A25...
متن کاملStructural characterization of a highly active superoxide-dismutase mimic.
A lot of effort has been put into the synthesis of copper complexes with superoxide-dismutase (SOD) activity because of their potential pharmaceutical applications. In this work, we study a model for these so-called SOD mimics (SODm), namely a copper complex of 6-(2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde) hydrazono-as-triazine-3,5-dione, which shows an extremely high SOD-like activity in solution. X-Ray diffract...
متن کاملAn educational overview of the chemistry, biochemistry and therapeutic aspects of Mn porphyrins – From superoxide dismutation to H2O2-driven pathways
Most of the SOD mimics thus far developed belong to the classes of Mn-(MnPs) and Fe porphyrins(FePs), Mn(III) salens, Mn(II) cyclic polyamines and metal salts. Due to their remarkable stability we have predominantly explored Mn porphyrins, aiming initially at mimicking kinetics and thermodynamics of the catalysis of O2(-) dismutation by SOD enzymes. Several MnPs are of potency similar to SOD en...
