Review: Recent advances in the investigations of NO activation on cobalt and manganese porphyrins: a brief review

Cobalt and manganese porphyrins are known for their ability to activate small molecules. This is particularly important in the case of nitric oxide, whose role and mechanism of action in the redox biological systems have not yet been fully recognized.

Description
Summary:Cobalt and manganese porphyrins are known for their ability to activate small molecules. This is particularly important in the case of nitric oxide, whose role and mechanism of action in the redox biological systems have not yet been fully recognized. The goal of this article is to draw attention to some of the current trends of research in this area. The interactions involving NO itself and the primary products of its oxidation (nitrite) and reduction (nitroxyl) have been distinguished and separately discussed. The diversity of undertaken issues sheds light on both the expected behavior in biologically relevant systems as well as potential practical applications. The results of recent research on interactions between cobalt and manganese porphyrins with nitric oxide species are summarized. The systems containing NO itself as well as its oxidized (nitrite) and reduced (nitroxyl) forms are discussed separately. Selected publications are primarily focused on the reaction mechanisms with respect to both biological systems and potential applications.
