  • Publication number: 20190350939
    Abstract: A cancer treatment method using a Ni-SOD mimic compound is provided, which includes administrating the Ni-SOD compound to a cancer cell of a cancer. The structure of the Ni-SOD mimic compound is represented as follows: wherein R1 represents H or A-R?; A represents a bond, O or N; L represents acetonitrile, water, or t-butyl isocyanate; R? represents H, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, polyalkoxy, polydimethylsiloxane, polyurethane or other polymer materials or amino acid groups; R2 represents unsubstituted or substituted alkyl, alkoxy, siloxy, amino, alkylamine or hydrocarbyl groups; R3 represents unsubstituted or substituted amino, alkylamine, oxyalkylamine groups or magnetic nanoparticles attached oxyalkylamine. Ni is bivalent or trivalent.

  • Publication number: 20190343874
    Abstract: Use of a nickel complex in preparing drugs for relieving inflammation is disclosed. The nickel complex having at least one of a structural formula (I) and a structural formula (II): wherein, L is a solvent molecule. The nickel complex has a similar reactivity with the active site of nickel-containing superoxide dismutase (NiSOD), which could remove reactive oxygen species, such that the nickel complex could be used to prepare drugs for relieving inflammation.

  • Patent number: 9388205
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel nickel complex and its derivatives, which mimic the active site of Ni-containing superoxide dismutase (NiSOD). The five-coordinate Ni(II) and Ni(III) complexes or their derivatives, and six-coordinate derivatives have the following structures of formula (I) and (II): The nickel complexes and their derivatives of the invention act as anti-oxidants or free radical scavengers. The invented nickel complexes can be used in the preparation of medicines, health foods or cosmetics for human, animals and plants, or can be used in environmental or soil protection.

  • Patent number: 9358239
    Abstract: The accumulation of abnormal proteins in neurodegenerative disorders is considered to induce oxidative stress and lead to cell death. Thus suppression of abnormal protein aggregation and reducing oxidative stress or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are expected to inhibit a wide range of harmful downstream events, providing an observation for identifying the potential prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders comprising spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present invention, there are several cell and animal experiment models for SCA, AD and PD established, and NiSOD-like compounds were applied to these experiment models. The results have demonstrated how NiSOD-like compounds are likely to work in suppressing abnormal protein aggregation, recovering cell viability, increasing mature neuron number and neurite outgrowth length and protecting dopaminergic cells by reducing oxidative stress or reactive oxygen species in brain tissues.
