Abstract: Based on 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin(2),a series of non-water soluble and water-soluble metalloporphyrins were synthesized.As mimics of SOD (superoxide dismutase) and CAT(catalase) enzymes, metalloporphyrins 3a-3e, 5a-5f,and 8a-8f, were tested in the assays to dismutase O2-, to decompose H2O2,to clear OH,and to eliminate lipid peroxidation produced in the ho-mogenated livers of mice.Among these metalloporphyrins, 8a-8f, were most effective.Some rules were obtained from the biological activity testing results.
