Molecular Structure
Detailed Description
M40403 is a low molecular weight, synthetic manganese containing superoxide dismutase mimetic (SODm) that removes superoxide anions (*O2-) without interfering with other reactive species known to be involved in inflammatory responses (e.g. nitric oxide, NO and peroxynitrite, ONOO-). As such, M40403 represents an important pharmacological tool to dissect the roles of *O2- in acute and chronic inflammation.
