Intracellular location matters: rationalization of the anti-inflammatory activity of a manganese(ii) superoxide dismutase mimic complex†
Abstract
A conjugate of a Mn-based superoxide dismutase mimic with a Re-based multimodal probe was studied in a cellular model of oxidative stress. Its speciation was investigated using Re and Mn X-fluorescence. Interestingly, shows a distribution different from its unconjugated analogue but a similar concentration in mitochondria and a similar bioactivity.
