A novel artificial peptide named HPH-Pep, comprising a pyridine and two histidine units, was synthesized. The HPH-Pep-CuIIcomplex had unique pentacoordinated structure as shown by X-ray crystallography and exhibited superoxide-scavenging activity as indicated by ESR spectroscopy. The superoxide-quenching profile of HPH-Pep-CuIIwas studied in detail by cytochrome c assay and ESR spin trapping and it was found that (1) HPH-Pep-CuIIdid not scavenge hydrogen peroxide or hydroxyl radical and hence the scavenging activity was specific to superoxide, and (2) HPH-Pep-CuIIdid not generate hydrogen peroxide upon scavenging superoxide.
