EUK-134

EUK-134, a synthetic superoxide dismutase and catalase mimetic, protects rat kidneys from ischemia-reperfusion-induced damage. EUK-134 is a superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetics (SODm) with catalase activity. EUK-134 is a mitoprotective antioxidant. EUK-134 reduces the expression of NF-κB, MDA level, and protein carbonylation in H9C2 cells^[1][2][3]. In Vitro: EUK-134 (10-300 μM) is able to improve cell viability and reduces Paraquat (1 mM)-induced cell death significantly via dismutation or scavenging of superoxide anions and reduces hydroxyl radical generation^[2].
Higher concentrations of EUK-134 alone (30-300 μM) produces modest but significant reductions in cellular viability; however, this effect is not reflected in cell death measurements made at these concentrations^[2].
EUK-134 is a salen-manganese complex with superoxide dismutase and catalase activity.Supplementation with EUK-134 is therefore identified as a novel approach to attenuate cardiac hypertrophy and lends scope for the development of EUK-134 as a therapeutic agent in the management of human cardiovascular disease.EUK-134 is a mitoprotective antioxidant with Mn-superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD) and catalase activity^[3].
