Popis: The novel metalloporphyrins (M = HH, Fe, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn) bearing 2,6-di- tert -butylphenol pendants as antioxidant substituents, and a long chain hydrocarbon palmitoyl group have been synthesized. The oxidation of compounds by PbO 2 leads to the formation of the corresponding 2,6-di- tert -butylphenoxyl radicals studied by EPR. The activity of porphyrins in lipid peroxidation has been examined using (1) in vitro lipid peroxidation induced by tert -butylhydroperoxide in respiring rat liver mitochondria, (2) in vitro lipid peroxidation in liver homogenates of Wistar strain rats, and (3) a model process of peroxidation of ( Z )-octadec-9-enic (oleic) acid as a structural fragment of lipids. The activity of these compounds depends dramatically on the nature of metal and might be changed from antioxidative (M = HH, Mn, Cu, Zn) to indifferent (M = Co), and to pro-oxidative one (M = Fe). The anti- or pro-oxidative action of these compounds may be derived from the concurrence between the involvement of 2,6-di- tert -butylphenol pendants acting as radical scavengers and redox active metal center promoting oxidation processes. The results of this study suggest that the polytopic compounds combining in one molecule 2,6-di- tert -butylphenol pendants, metalloporphyrin moiety, and a palmitoyl group, are membrane active compounds and might be studied in an effort to find novel pharmaceutical agents.
