Synthesis of water-soluble dinuclear mn-porphyrin with multiple antioxidative activities.

ABSTRACT: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activities of a drug are of great importance for its effective protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced injury. Achievement of catalase activity of a synthetic compound remains a challenge. Water-soluble Mn-porphyrins have high SOD and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) reducing activities, but not catalase-like activity. Herein, we are able to retain the fair SOD-like activity of a mononuclear Mn-5-(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-10,15,20-triphenyl porphyrin (MnM4PyP3P), while gaining in catalase-like activity with its dinuclear complex, 1,3-di[5-(N-methylene-pyridinium-4-yl)-10,15,20-triphenyl porphynato manganese] benzene tetrachloride (MnPD). Mechanistic study indicates that catalase-like activity of MnPD is due to synergism of two Mn active sites
