Abstract: Several Mn(Ⅲ) 10-(hydroxylphenyl)-5,15-bis(pentafluoro-phenyl)corroles with the hydroxyl at ortho-, meta- and para-position of 10-phenyl group were used as the catalysts in the oxidative cleavage of plasmid DNA in the presence of H2O2. The catalytic system was composed of 10 μL 0.5 mg/mL pC DNA 6 in TE buffer solution(pH=8.0, 4.0×10-2 mol/L Tris, 1.0×10-3 mol/L EDTA), 10 μL 1.0×10-5 mol/L Mn(Ⅲ) corrole in DMSO and 10 μL 0.3% H2O2. After 8 h incubation at room temperature, significant oxidative DNA damage could be observed with the ortho-hydroxyl Mn(Ⅲ) corrole showing a better activity as detected by agarose-gel electrophoresis. Plasmid DNA was completely damaged after 12 h incubation. These observations show Mn(Ⅲ) corrole can be used as an artificial model of nuclease.
