During the course of an inflammatory response, nitric oxide (NOC; formed by inducible NO synthase, iNOS) and superoxide (O2C À; formed by NADPH oxidase or NOX2) are both generated in quantities that surpass physiological levels.[1] Consecutively, NOC and O2C À react at a diffusion-controlled rate (k% 1010 m À1 sÀ1) to form peroxynitrite (ONOOÀ) and other reactive species (such as NO2C and OHC), which induce cytotoxic effects through DNA damage, low-density lipoprotein oxidation, protein nitration and oxidation, aconitase inactivation, and inhibition of respiration.[2] Several attempts have been made to either inhibit NOC production, by designing selective iNOS inhibitors,[3a] or to mimic the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), by developing low-molecularweight metal complexes,[3b] to treat diseases characterized by hyperinflammation. However, the pharmacological application of iNOS inhibitors [3c] or SOD mimics [3d] is restricted by a certain lack of selectivity, stability, and/or bioavailability of these compounds.MnII pentaazamacrocyclic complexes feature the presently most potent synthetic SOD mimics. They were discovered just a decade ago [4a] and have since entered phase II clinical trials in the USA.[4b] Their main advantage is reported to be a strict selectivity towards superoxide.[4a–e] However, drawing an analogy with native enzyme,[5a] some of us have recently shown that such complexes do react with NOC, albeit at lower rates than with O2C À (the rate constant for aerobic reaction with NO was estimated to be 850mÀ1 sÀ1, whereas the catalytic rate constant for O2C À dismutation is 1 107 m À1 sÀ1).[5b] We proposed a new dismutation mechanism which involves the formation of labile metal–nitrosyl complexes and leads to the catalytic removal of large amounts of NOC from solution [5b][Eqs.(1) and (2)]. Therefore, this class of complexes might also act towards NOC generation during an inflammatory response.
