Bioactivity | Manganese(salen) chloride (EUK-8), a superoxide dismutase and catalase mimetic, is an antioxidant with oxyradical scavenging properties. Manganese(salen) chloride ameliorates acute lung injury in endotoxemic swine[1][2]. | |||||||||
Invitro | Manganese(salen) chloride (25 μM; 24-72 h) protects organotypic hippocampal slices from β-AP-induced neurotoxicity, and completely blocks β-AP-induced free radical accumulation and lipid peroxidation[2]. | |||||||||
In Vivo | Manganese(salen) chloride (25 mg/kg; i.p. 3 times a week for 4 weeks) reduces cardiac oxidative stress and ameliorates pressure overload-induced heart failure in the harlequin mouse mutant[3]. Animal Model: | |||||||||
