The superoxide scavenging activities of copper(II) complexes with the ligands, 6,6′-methylene-bis(5′-amino-3′,4′-benzo-2′-thiapentyl)-1,11-diamino-2,3:9,10-dibenzo-4,8-dithiaundecane (H4L), and 6,6′-bis(5′-amino-3′,4′-benzo-2′-thiapentyl)-1,11-diamino-2,3:9,10-dibenzo-4,8-dithiaundecane (H4L′), were investigated by xanthine–xanthine oxidase (X/XO) assays using nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) as indicator molecule, and the results were compared with respect to the particular type of anion (ClO·4, Cl·, NO·3) on the apical site of the copper(II) complexes. All of the complexes inhibited the reduction of NBT by superoxide radicals, with the [Cu2(L′)](ClO4)2 complex exhibiting the highest scavenging activity against superoxide radicals among the complexes examined. The catalytic efficiency of the complexes for dismutation of superoxide radicals depends on the particular anion liganded to Cu(II) ion in the complexes, and the order of potency was observed to be ClO4 > Cl > NO·3 in phosphate buffer at pH 7.40. The Cu(II)-H4L′ complexes had the lowest IC50 and catalytic rate constant values indicating that the distorted geometry of the Cu(II)-H4L′ complexes influence their catalytic activities for dismutation of superoxide radicals more efficiently. The difference in the activities of the complexes toward superoxide radicals can also be attributed to the nature of the anions on the apical site of the copper(II) complexes and the superoxide dismutase-like activity. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of macrocyclic polyamine derivatives possessing partial oligopeptide-like structures are found to suppress the xanthine-xanthine oxidase-mediated reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium and also to suppress formazan formation by potassium superoxide. The activity in the superoxide dismutase assay is dependent on ring size, type and number of donor atoms, metal ion, and substituents on the macrocycles. Some of those are more active than the known O2? scavengers such as copper(II)-salicylate and copper(II)-amino acid (or peptide) complexes. Nickel (II)-naphthylmethyl-dioxo-[16]ane N5, 13, 1 : 1 complex (NiH?2L) is the most active among the 30 chelates examined.  相似文献

6-Deoxy-6-{4-[N-(2-aminoethyl)propaneamide]imidazolyl}cyclohepta amylose (CDcarc) and 6-{3-amine-N-[2-(imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]propaneamide}-6-deoxycyclohepta amylose (CDcrac) were synthesized with the aim to obtain copper(II) complexes able to scavenge superoxide radical. The copper(II) complexes were studied by means of UV-Vis, ESR, CD, ESI-MS spectroscopies to gain information about the species present in solution as function of the pH. The antioxidant activity was assayed against superoxide enzymatically generated and compared with that obtained from copper(II) complex with underivatized carcinine. The hydroxyl radical scavenging ability of these new ligands was also tested.  相似文献

In order to improve the antioxidant property of curcumin and its analogue, diacetylcurcumin, manganese was incorporated into the structures in order to enhance superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Manganese (Mn) complexes of curcumin (CpCpx) and diacetylcurcumin (AcylCpCpx) were synthesized and firstly investigated for SOD activity and hydroxyl radical (HO*) scavenging ability. SOD activity was evaluated by both the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction assay and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) as a spin trapping agent. CpCpx and AcylCpCpx inhibited the NBT reduction and decreased the DMPO/OOH adduct much greater than corresponding antioxidants or ligands, with IC50 values of 29.9 and 24.7 microM (NBT), and 1.09 and 2.40 mM (EPR), respectively. For EPR, potassium superoxide (KO2) was used as a source of O2- where qualitative results suggested that CpCpx and AcylCpCpx were SOD mimics, which catalyze the conversion of O2- to dioxygen and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Additionally, CpCpx and AcylCpCpx exhibited the great inhibition of DMPO/OH adduct formation with an IC50 of 0.57 and 0.37mM, respectively, which were comparable to that of curcumin (IC50 of 0.64 mM), indicating that both Mn complexes are also an effective HO* scavenger. The stability against hydrolysis in water, various buffers and human blood/serum was carried out in vitro. It was found that both Mn complexes were pH and salt concentration dependent, being more stable in basic pH. In the human blood/serum test, CpCpx was more stable against hydrolysis than AcylCpCpx with about 10 and 20% of free Mn2+ releasing, respectively.  相似文献

Radical scavenging activities of flavonoids rutin, taxifolin, (-)-epicatechin, luteolin, and their complexes with transition metal (Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+) towards superoxide were determined using illumination of riboflavin as source and NBT as detector of O*2-. The scavenger potencies of flavonoid metal complexes were significantly higher than those of the parent flavonoids. To elucidate the mechanism of this phenomenon, the rates of superoxide-dependent oxidation of flavonoids and their metal complexes in photochemical system with riboflavin were examined. It was found for the first time that flavonoids bound to metal ions were much less subjected to oxidation compared with those of free compounds. The findings directly demonstrate superoxide scavenging activity of metal ions in complexes with flavonoids and support earlier suggestions that flavonoid metal complexes may exhibit superoxide dismuting activity.  相似文献

Carnosine, anserine and homocarnosine are natural compounds which are present in high concentrations (2–20 mM) in skeletal muscles and brain of many vertebrates. We have demonstrated in a previous work that these compounds can act as antioxidants, a result of their ability to scavenge peroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals. Carnosine and its analogues have been shown to be efficient chelating agents for copper and other transition metals. Since human skeletal muscle contains one-third of the total copper in the body (20–47 mmol/kg) and the concentration of carnosine in this tissue is relatively high, the complex of carnosine:copper may be of biological importance. We have studied the ability of the coppenarnosine (and other carnosine derivatives) complexes to act as superoxide dismutasc. The results indicate that the complex of copper:carnosine can dismute superoxide radicals released by neutrophils treated with PMA in an analogous mechanism to other amino acids and copper complexes. Copper:anserine failed to dismute superoxide radicals and coppwhomocarnosine complex was efficient when the cells were treated with PMA or with histone-opsonized streptococci and cytochalasine B. The possible role of these compounds to act as physiological antioxidants that possess superoxide dismutase activity is discussed.  相似文献

Four groups comprising 21 superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimics synthesized by us were comparatively studied for their inhibitory effects on luminol-mediated chemiluminescence emitted from phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL). Among these groups, 20-membered macrocyclic bicopper(II) complexes and 13-membered macrocyclic dioxotetramine copper(II) complexes exhibited relatively higher activities of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by PMA-stimulated PMNL as compared with polyamine Cu(II)-Zn(II) complexes and copper(II) complexes of bis-shiff-base. Moreover, distinctly different effects of SOD mimics in the biological system have been found even in the same group. It is suggested that the biological effects of some SOD mimics are related to their structures.  相似文献

Rhus coriaria L. (Anacardiaceae) is a well-known spice in the Middle-East and grown in the Central and East Anatolia region of Turkey. A methanolic extract (water-soluble part constituents) of R. coriaria, was found to be an uncompetitive inhibitor of xanthine oxidase and scavenger of superoxide radical in vitro with IC 50 values of 172.5 μg/mL and 232 μg/mL respectively. Superoxide radicals were generated either by an enzymatic or a non-enzymatic system, and scavenging ability was evaluated by the inhibition of nitroblue tetrazolium reduction. This study provides evidence that a crude extract of R. coriaria exhibits interesting antioxidant properties, expressed either by the capacity to scavenge superoxide radical or to uncompetitively inhibit xanthine oxidase.  相似文献

Lipophilic ionophore complexes as superoxide dismutase mimetics   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
A wide range of metal ion complexes exhibit superoxide dismutase like activities as detected by inhibition of nitroblue tetrazolium reduction. Mn(II) and Cu(II) complexes of EDTA, EHPG, and EGTA exhibit SOD like activities commensurate with many of the purpose-built SOD mimics. Here, we report analogous lipophilic chelators that localise metal ions (Cu(II), Mn(II), and Fe(III)) in the lipid membranes and lipoproteins to protect them from superoxide mediated oxidative damage. Spectroscopic titrations and Jobs method confirm that both 1:1 and 2:1 metal ion monensin complexes form. The cupric complexes are the most active exhibiting IC(50) values of 0.09 and 0.18 microM for 2Cu(II)-monensin and Cu(II)-monensin, respectively, for superoxide destruction. In addition, the IC(50) value for Mn(II)-monensin is 0.31 microM. In conclusion, Mn(II) and Cu(II) complexes of the ionophore monensin exhibit considerable superoxide scavenging activities and represent a novel class of catalytic antioxidants for the protection of lipid structures.  相似文献

The superoxide anion radical is a highly reactive toxic species produced during the metabolic processes. A number of copper (II) complexes with amino acids and peptides are known to show superoxide dismutase (SOD) like activity. The design and application of synthetic low molecular weight metal complexes as SOD mimics have received considerable attention during the last decade. A variety of di- and tri-peptides containing histidyl residue in different positions have been employed to bind Cu(II) and to show the activity. But reports on Cu(II) complex with tetra-peptide having histidine amino acid in this regard are limited. As the HGGGW peptide having His at its N-terminal is reported to be a potential moiety for Cu(2+) binding, in the present work the synthesis of HisGlyGlyTrp peptide and its complexation with copper (II) ions has been reported. The interaction of synthesized peptide with Cu(II) was studied by electron spray ionization-mass spectrometer (ESI-MS) and UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. The species distribution was studied by combined spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods. The studies were performed at 25 ± 0.1 °C with constant ionic strength (μ = 0.1 M NaNO(3)) in aqueous solution using Bjerrum-Calvin's pH-titration technique as adopted by Irving and Rossotti for binary systems. The solution studies suggested that the pH of the medium play important role in the different species formation of the copper complexes. Species distribution curves indicate that Cu complexation takes place at all physiological pH values from 3-11. The resultant copper (II) peptide complex at physiological pH was tested for superoxide dismutase activity using standard NBT method. The complex has SOD activity with the IC(50) value of 1.32 μM.  相似文献

Metal ion chelators widely used in experimental protocols and clinical diagnosis are generally assumed to be inert. We previously reported that the ubiquitous chelator EDTA has high levels of superoxide suppressing activity. Here, we report that the common chelators calcium chelator EGTA and contrast agent EHPG have significant activities in suppressing superoxide levels depending on the nature of metal ion chelated. The most active species is Mn(II)-EGTA which exhibited an IC50 value of 0.19 microM for superoxide destruction. In addition, IC50 values for Mn(II)-EHPG and 2Cu(II)-EGTA were 0.69 and 0.60 microM, respectively. In conclusion, Mn(II) and Cu(II) complexes of the common chelators EGTA and EHPG exhibit considerable superoxide scavenging activities. Caution should be employed in their use in biological systems where superoxide has a key role and they may be useful for the development of catalytic anti-oxidants.  相似文献

The superoxide dismutase-like activities of a series of coordination complexes of copper were evaluated and compared to the activities of bovine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (superoxide: superoxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.15.1.1) in serum using the nitroblue tetrazolium chloride (NBT)-reduction assay and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. A 40% inhibition was observed for the initial rate of the NBT reduction by superoxide dismutase in serum, but more than 40% inhibition was achieved with CuSO4, Cu(II)-dimethylglyoxime, Cu(II)-3,8-dimethyl-4,7-diazadeca-3,7-dienediamide, Cu2[N,N'-(2-(O-hydroxy-benzhydrylidene)amino)ethyl]2-1,2-ethane dia mine), Cu(II)-(diisopropylsalicylate)2, Cu(II)-(p-bromo-benzoate)2, Cu(II)-(nicotinate)2 and Cu(II)-(1,2-diamino-2-methylpropane)2. The electron paramagnetic resonance technique of spin trapping was used to detect the formation of superoxide (O2-.) and other free radicals in the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system under a variety of conditions. Addition of the spin trapping agent 5,5-dimethylpyrroline 1-oxide (DMPO) to the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system in fetal bovine serum produced the O2-.-spin adduct of DMPO (herein referred to as superoxide spin adduct, DMPO-OOH) as the well known short-lived nitroxyl whose characteristic EPR spectrum was recorded before its rapid decay to undetectable levels. The hydroxyl radical (HO.) adduct of the spin trap DMPO (herein referred to as DMPO-OH) was detected to a very small extent. When CuSO4, or the test complexes of copper, were added to the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system in serum containing the spin trap, the yield of DMPO-OOH was negligible. In addition to their superoxide dismutase-like activity, CuSO4 and the copper complexes also behaved as Fenton-type catalysts as seen by the accumulation of varying amounts of the hydroxyl spin adduct DMPO-OH. Both the Fenton-type catalysis and the superoxide dismutase-like action of these compounds were lost when a chelator such as EDTA was included in the xanthine-xanthine oxidase incubation mixture. Addition of superoxide dismutase instead of the copper compounds to this enzyme system abolished the formation of superoxide adduct DMPO-OOH, and no hydroxyl adduct DMPO-OH was detected. This effect of superoxide dismutase remained unaltered by EDTA.  相似文献

We examined if phytic acid inhibits the enzymatic superoxide source xanthine oxidase (XO). Half inhibition of XO by phytic acid (IC50) was about 30 mM in the formation of uric acid from xanthine, but generation of the superoxide was greatly affected by phytic acid; the IC50 was about 6 mM, indicating that the superoxide generating domain of XO is more sensitive to phytic acid. The XO activity in intestinal homogenate was also inhibited by phytic acid. However, it was not observed with intestinal homogenate that superoxide generation was more sensitive to phytic acid compared with the formation of uric acid as observed with XO from butter milk. XO-induced superoxide-dependent lipid peroxidation was inhibited by phytic acid, but not by myo-inositol. Reduction of ADP-Fe3+ caused by XO was inhibited by superoxide dismutase, but not phytic acid. The results suggest that phytic acid interferes with the formation of ADP-iron-oxygen complexes that initiate lipid peroxidation. Both phytic acid and myo-inositol inhibited XO-induced superoxide-dependent DNA damage. Mannitol inhibited the DNA strand break. Myo-inositol may act as a hydroxyl radical scavenger. The antioxidative action of phytic acid may be due to not only inhibiting XO, but also preventing formation of ADP-iron-oxygen complexes.  相似文献

In this paper are presented the features of copper (II) and zinc (II) heteronuclear complexes of the cyclic peptide—c(HKHGPG)2. The coordination properties of ligand were studied by potentiometric, UV–Vis and CD spectroscopic methods. These experiments were carried out in aqueous solutions at 298 K depending on pH. It turned out that in a physiological pH dominates Cu(II)/Zn(II) complex ([CuZnL]4+) which could mimic the active center of superoxide dismutase (Cu,ZnSOD). In next step we performed in vitro research on Cu,ZnSOD activity for [CuZnL]4+ complex existing in 7.4 pH by the method of reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT). Also mono- and di-nuclear copper (II) complexes of this ligand were examined. The ability of inhibition free radical reaction were compared for all complexes. The results of these studies show that Cu(II) mono-, di-nuclear and Cu(II)/Zn(II) complexes becoming to new promising synthetic superoxide dismutase mimetics, and should be considered for further biological assays.  相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of copper(II) complexes with a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, tolfenamic acid, Htolf, with formula [Cu(tolf)(2)L](2) (where L is H(2)O or DMF, N,N-dimethylformamide) were investigated. The crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(tolf)(2)(DMF)](2) was reported. Crystallographic data are as follows: monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n with cell constants a=9.068(2) A, b=14.514(3) A, c=22.826(4) A, V=2948.9(10) A(3) and Z=2. The crystal structure consists of binuclear, quadruply bridged neutral molecule with a Cu-Cu bond length of 2.6075(19) A. The complex is self-assembled via C-H-pi intermolecular stacking interactions. Spectroscopic and electrochemical studies were reported. The superoxide dismutase activity is measured and compared with those of superoxide dismutase enzyme, SOD, the free ligand and related copper complexes with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs. IC(50) value was measured by the Fridovich test (1.97+/-0.17 microM), which showed that [Cu(tolf)(2)L](2) is a good superoxide scavenger.  相似文献

Copper(II) complexes of the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) functionalized with homocarnosine (HC) in the primary (CDHC6) and secondary rim (CDHC3) were characterized by means of different spectroscopic techniques such as UV-Vis absorption, circular dichroism, electron paramagnetic resonance and electron-spray mass spectrometry. Taken together, all the spectroscopic parameters indicate the formation of different copper(II) complex species at various pH values. In the CDHC3 copper(II) complex species, a direct involvement of the secondary hydroxyl group 2 of functionalized β-CD’s ring has been pointed out.The antioxidant activity of the copper(II) complexes of the two derivatives was determined through pulse radiolysis measurements. The results obtained provide direct evidence for a high catalytic activity of both complexes towards the dismutation of the superoxide anion radical. It is also demonstrated that the complex formation is not detrimental to the excellent scavenger activity exhibited by the ligands alone towards hydroxyl radicals. These copper complexes then represent very intriguing antioxidant agents against well known toxic reactive oxygen species.  相似文献

Some aerobic organisms devoid of SOD use Mn2+ chelates to scavenge the O2- radical. Since the Mn2+-bis(lactato)diaquo complex is known as having a high SOD-like activity, we prepared manganese(II) complexes with triazamacrocyclic ligands bearing L-lactate-like functions in order to obtain model compounds able to disproportionate the superoxide radical. Thus, two macrocyclic ligands, N,N',N"-tris[2(S)-hydroxybutyric acid]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane, L1, and N,N',N"-tris[2(S)-hydroxybutyric acid]-1,5,9-triazacyclododecane, L2, were prepared and their capacity to retain the Mn2+ ion in aqueous solution was determined from potentiometric experiments. The chelating properties in aqueous solution of each ligand towards Co2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions were also determined. L1 forms complexes with Mn2+, Co2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions with stability constants of 8.33(5), 15.78(5), 17.65(3) and 14.32(1), respectively. L2 forms complexes with Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions with stability constants of 10.67(1) and 6.98(3), respectively. But the constants related to the Mn2+ and Co2+ complexes were too low to be determined by the method used. The stability constants values calculated for L2 complexes are significantly lower than those for the corresponding complexes of L1. Additional spectroscopic measurements were carried out on the Mn2+-L1 system. The electronic spectrum of this system showed a pH-dependence that may be consistent with the formation of hydroxo-species as the ESR spectra recorded at 120 K did not show oxidation of the Mn2+ ion in the pH range studied. The superoxide-scavenging activity of the manganese(II)-L1 complex was investigated using the cytochrome c assay. The Mn2+-L1 system showed an IC50 value of 1.7 microM which indicates that it appears as a potent SOD mimic.  相似文献

Abstract

The chemopreventive chalcone xanthohumol (Xh) has been reported to decrease xanthine oxidase (XOD) catalysed formation of formazan from nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and is discussed as a potent scavenger of superoxide. Re-evaluation of the scavenging capacity indicated that Xh disturbed detection of superoxide with NBT, in case of an insufficient NBT/Xh ratio. Xh lacked superoxide scavenging activity in contrast to the Xh-derivative 3′-hydroxy-Xh with catechol substructure, used as positive control. This was shown by the use of sufficient concentration of NBT and other detectors such as hydroxylamine, XTT, cytochrome c and hydroethidine. HPLC analysis of reaction products in a xanthine/XOD/peroxidase system demonstrated beside enhanced inhibition of NBT-formazan by Xh that NBT even prevented oxidation of Xh. p-coumaric acid or ferulic acid could replace Xh in that system, indicating that superoxide detection using NBT is likely jeopardized by interference of phenoxyl-radicals. Furthermore, this study provides evidence that Xh can moderately generate superoxide via auto-oxidation.  相似文献

Mononuclear macrocyclic polyamine zinc(II), copper(II), cobalt(II) complexes, which could attach to peptide nucleic acid (PNA), were synthesized as DNA cleavage agents. The structures of these new mononuclear complexes were identified by MS and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic activities on DNA cleavage of these mononuclear complexes with different central metals were subsequently studied, which showed that copper complex was better catalyst in the DNA cleavage process than zinc and cobalt complexes. The effects of reaction time, concentration of complexes were also investigated. The results indicated that the copper(II) complexes could catalyze the cleavage of supercoiled DNA (pUC 19 plasmid DNA) (Form I) under physiological conditions to produce selectively nicked DNA (Form II, no Form III produced) with high yields. The mechanism of the cleavage process was also studied.  相似文献

Five new copper(II) complexes of type [Cu(erx)( L )Cl] (erx, enrofloxacin; thiophene‐2‐carbaldehyde ( L 1 ); pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde ( L 2 ); 2,2′‐dipyridylamine ( L 3 ); 4,5‐diazafluoren‐9‐one ( L 4 ); bis(3,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrazolyl)methane ( L 5 )) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, reflectance, IR, and FAB‐MS. Complexes have been investigated for their interaction with calf thymus (CT) DNA utilizing the absorption‐titration method, viscometric and DNA thermal denaturation studies. The cleavage reaction on pUC19 DNA has been monitored by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results indicated that the CuII complexes can more effectively promote the cleavage of plasmid DNA at physiological pH and superoxide dismutase. The (SOD) activity of the complexes has been evaluated by the nitroblue tetrazolium assay, and the complexes catalyzed the dismutation of superoxide at pH 7.8 with IC50 values of 0.35–1.25 μM . The complexes have also been screened for their antibacterial activity against five pathogenic bacteria.  相似文献
