Alzheimer's disease and oxidative stress are connected. In the present communication, we report the use of a Mn -based superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimic ([Mn (L)] , 1 ) as a pro-drug candidate to target Cu -associated events, namely, Cu -induced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and modulation of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide aggregation. Complex 1 is able to remove Cu from Aβ, stop ROS and prevent alteration of Aβ aggregation as would do the corresponding free ligand LH. Using 1 instead of LH in further biological applications would have the double advantage to avoid the cell toxicity of LH and to benefit from its proved SOD-like activity.
阿尔茨海默病与氧化应激有关。在本通讯中,我们报告了使用锰基超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)模拟物([Mn(L)],1)作为针对铜相关事件的前药候选物,即铜诱导的活性氧(ROS)形成和淀粉样β(Aβ)肽聚集的调制。复合物 1能够从 Aβ中去除 Cu,阻止 ROS 的产生并防止 Aβ聚集的改变,就像相应的游离配体 LH 一样。在进一步的生物学应用中使用 1 代替 LH 将具有双重优势,既可以避免 LH 的细胞毒性,又可以受益于其已证明的 SOD 样活性。
