Superoxide Disproportionation Driven by Zinc Complexes with Various Steric and Electrostatic Properties

Abstract: Attractive models: Synthetic Zn(II) complexes were investigated as models of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase. Superoxide underwent a unique disproportionation reaction in the electrostatic sphere of the complexes (see picture; bpy=2,2'-bipyridyl). The effectiveness of the Zn(II) complexes in inducing the disproportionation of superoxide depended on both the Lewis acidity and the coordination geometry of the Zn center.

“…À0.4 V), onset potentials of oxygen reduction were observed to shift positively in the ZnCl 2 solution (À0.16 V) and the precursor solution (À0.30 V). Similar results have been reported previously [21][22][23] and Zn II was demonstrated as aLewis acid to facilitate the reduction of O 2 to O 2 À at more positive potentials and form superoxo-Zn II complex [Eq. (2)].…”

Similar results have been reported previously and Zn II was demonstrated as a Lewis acid to facilitate the reduction of O 2 to O 2 − at more positive potentials and form superoxo‐Zn II complex [Eq. ].…”

“…Therefore, complexes 1 and 2 can be applied as models for superoxide dismutase, because the redox potentials of the two complexes are located in the allowed ranges of SOD mimics. To confirm the formation of superoxo-/peroxo-copper(II) intermediates in the catalytic reaction, we performed a cyclic voltammogram experiment after O 2 2À binding to the complex with the methods of Hideki Masuda and co-workers [5]. As shown in Fig.…”

“…Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) is an essential enzyme in the natural antioxidant system, which catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and the oxygen molecule under physiological conditions [3,4]. A copper-zinc heterobimetallic complex is located at the active site of Cu,Zn-SOD, in which the copper(II) ion is pentacoordinated by four histidine residues and one water molecule with a distorted tetragonal pyramidal coordination environment [5]. Due to the limitations of solution instability, immunogenicity, bell-shaped dose response curves, short half-lives, costs of production and proteolytic digestion, the direct utilization of Cu,Zn-SOD as a pharmaceutical agent still has many problems [6].…”
