超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,简称SOD)作为生物体内超氧离子自由基的清除剂,具备有效抗氧化、抗炎症、抗衰老之功效,并用于临床,其化学模拟引起了人们的广泛研究兴趣。本文将简要介绍近年来SOD人工模拟酶及其生物医学活性研究所取得的重要进展,特别是Cu,Zn-SOD模拟物结构与功能的相互关系、Mn-SOD模拟物的生物活性及其医学应用。
As effective radical scavengers in vivo, superoxide dismutases (SODs) have the antioxidant, antiinflammation and anti-aging functions, and have been applied in clinical treatments as drugs. Therefore, there is still an increasing interest in design and development of artificial SODs for potential application. In this article, a brief introduction about the research achievement of SOD mimics and their biomedical activities during past decade is shown.Our attention focuses on the relation between the structure and biological function of Cu, Zn-SOD mimics as well as the bio-activity and application of Mn-SOD mimics in medicine.
