Oxidative stress has become widely viewed as an underlying condition in a number of
diseases, such as ischemia–reperfusion disorders, central nervous system disorders …

Significance: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes are indispensable and ubiquitous
antioxidant defenses maintaining the steady-state levels of O2·−; no wonder, thus, that their …

This is the second set of Handbook of Porphyrin Science. Porphyrins, phthalocyanines and

Revised and updated, Chemical Reagents for Protein Modification, Third Edition is an
encyclopedic work describing the many approaches to the site-specific modification of …

Most of the SOD mimics thus far developed belong to the classes of Mn-(MnPs) and Fe
porphyrins (FePs), Mn (III) salens, Mn (II) cyclic polyamines and metal salts. Due to their …

Superoxide radicals are one of the most toxic reactive oxygen species and its damaging
effects lead to a variety of detrimental health conditions including cardiovascular diseases …

Oxidative stress, a redox imbalance between the endogenous reactive species and
antioxidant systems, is common to numerous pathological conditions such as cancer, central …

MnTBAP is often referred to as an SOD mimic in numerous models of oxidative stress. We
have recently reported that pure MnTBAP does not dismute superoxide, but commercial/ill …

Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease that frequently
culminates in cardiac failure at an early age. FRDA is believed to arise from reduced …
