Abstract: 6A,6A’-dianilino-6B,6B’-diselenide-bis-β-cyclodextrin(6-AnSeCD) was designed and synthesized to imitate the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase(GPX). The GPX activities of 6-AnSeCD and 6A,6A’-dicyclohexylamine-6B,6B’-diselenide-bis-β-cyclodextrin(6-CySeCD) were assessed in classical coupled reductase assay. 6-CySeCD exhibits better GPX activity than 6-AnSeCD in the reduction of H2O2 and cumenyl hydroperoxide by glutathione, respectively. And then, with the molecular dynamics(MD) simulations, the interaction between GPX mimics(6-CySeCD and 6-AnySeCD) and GSH were investigated. The MD results show great differences in the conformation and bond lengths between the each GPX mimics and the its substrate-enzyme complex, which demonstrate the possibility that such change might be the key factor for the bridge GPX mimics’ catalysis.
