Results revealed that this manganese corrole binds to CT DNA via an outside groove binding mode with intrinsic binding constant Ku of 4.67 × 104 Lomol L DNA cleavage activities of MnmTCPC in the presence of various oxidants were also investigated, MnmTCPC can cleave the supercoiled plas- mid pBR322 DNA to both nicked and linear form in the presence of hydrogen peroxide or tert-BuOOH, while no nuclease activity was observed by using KHSO5 as oxidant. Inhibitor tests revealed that hydroxyl radicals or singlet oxygen was not involved in MnTCPC mediated DNA oxidative cleavage. It is suggested that （oxo）manganese（V） corrole is the possibly active intermediate in this oxidative cleavage reactions.展开更多
10-（4-Formylphenyl）-5,15-bis（pentafluorophenyl）corrole 1 and its gallium complex 1-Ga were used to investigate their photocytotoxicity in liver cancer （BEL-7402）, lung cancer （A549） and cervical cancer （Siha,...10-（4-Formylphenyl）-5,15-bis（pentafluorophenyl）corrole 1 and its gallium complex 1-Ga were used to investigate their photocytotoxicity in liver cancer （BEL-7402）, lung cancer （A549） and cervical cancer （Siha, Hela） cell lines. Among all the tested tumor cells, Siha tumor cells were the most sensitive to photodynamic therapy （PDT） treatment by 1 and 1-Ga. PDT IC50 of 1 and 1-Ga toward Siha tumor cell reaches 1.3 and 0.8 gmol/L respectively, which is 10-fold higher than that of cisplatin. 1 and 1-Ga might pass across the tumor cell membrane smoothly without the help of carrier protein, and mainly localized in the cytoplasm of tumor cell. After PDT treatment, the intracellular reactive oxygen species （ROS） level increased and the mitochondrial membrane potential decreased significantly, which would finally result in the apoptosis of tumor cells.展开更多

The experiment results indicate that chiral threonine-linked porphyrins and their zinc(Ⅱ) complexes have two different kinds of aggregates in water-alcohol system and water-alcohol-NaCI system. And the porphyrins may form highly organized and orientated aggregates in water-alcohol-NaCI system. The aggregates in water-alcohol-NaCI system may have helical structures.展开更多
