SOD-like activity of Mn(II) β-octabromo-meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-3-yl)porphyrin equals that of the enzyme itself

TLDR
This work shows that exceptionally high k(cat) for the O2*- disproportionation can be achieved not only with an N(5)-type coordination motif, as rationalized previously for aza crown ether (cyclic polyamines) complexes, but also with a N(4)-type motif as in the Mn porphyrin case.

SOD therapeutics: latest insights into their structure-activity relationships and impact on the cellular redox-based signaling pathways

TL;DR: The therapeutic and mechanistic relevance of oxidation of ascorbate and glutathionylation and oxidation of protein thiols by MnP-based SOD mimics and subsequent inactivation of nuclear factor κB has been substantiated in rescuing normal and killing cancer cells.

Design of Mn porphyrins for treating oxidative stress injuries and their redox-based regulation of cellular transcriptional activities.

TL;DR: The most efficacious Mn(III) porphyrinic scavengers of reactive species have positive charges close to the Mn site, whereby they afford thermodynamic and electrostatic facilitation for the reaction with negatively charged species such as O2•− and ONOO− and the pro-oxidative action of MnPs in suppressing NF-κB activation in nucleus has been substantiated.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)

TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.

Mutagenesis and stress responses induced in Escherichia coli by hydrogen peroxide

TL;DR: Analysis of the sensitivities of mutants that are deficient in individual SOS-regulated functions suggested that the SOS-mediated protection is due to the enhanced synthesis of recA protein, which is rate limiting for recombinational DNA repair.

The ortho effect makes manganese(III) meso-tetrakis(N-methylpyridinium-2-yl)porphyrin a powerful and potentially useful superoxide dismutase mimic.

TL;DR: The ortho, meta, andpara isomers of manganese(III) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin, Mn TM-2-PyP5+, MnTM-3-Py P5+, and MnTM -4- PyP5+ were analyzed in terms of their superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in vitro and in vivo.
