SOD-mimics are small complexes that reproduce the activity of superoxide dismutases, natural proteins that catalytically dismutate the superoxide anion. Activated macrophages, which produce ROS and RNS fluxes, constitute a relevant model to challenge antioxidant activity in a cellular context and were used to test a Mn-complex which was shown to efficiently alter the flow of O(2)(-), ONOO(-) and H(2)O(2).
