| Abstract | Splanchnic artery occlusion shock (SAO) causes an enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which contribute to the pathophysiology of shock. Here we have investigated the effects of M40401, a new S,S-dimethyl substituted biscyclohexylpyridine Mn-based superoxide dismutase mimetic (SODm, kcat=1.2×10+9 M −1 s−1 at pH=7.4), in rats subjected to SAO shock. Treatment of rats with M40401 (applied at 0.25, 2.5 or 25 μg kg−1, 15 min prior to reperfusion), attenuated the mean arterial blood and the migration of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) caused by SAO-shock. M40401 also attenuated the ileum injury (histology) as well as the increase in the tissue levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) caused by SAO shock in the ileum. Immunohistochemical analysis for nitrotyrosine revealed a positive staining in ileum from SAO-shocked rats. The degree of staining for nitrotyrosine was markedly reduced in tissue sections obtained from SAO-shocked rats which had received M40401. Reperfused ileum tissue sections from SAO-shocked rats showed positive staining for P-selectin and for anti-intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) in the vascular endothelial cells. M40401 treatment markedly reduced the intensity and degree of P-selectin and ICAM-1 in tissue sections from SAO-shocked rats. M40401 treatment significantly improved survival. Additionally, the very high catalytic activity of this new mimetic (comparable to the native human Cu/Zn SOD enzyme and exceeding the activity of the human Mn SOD enzyme) translates into a very low dose (∼μg kg−1) required to afford protection in this SAO model of ischemia reperfusion injury. Taken together, our results clearly demonstrate that M40401 treatment exerts a protective effect, and part of this effect may be due to inhibition of the expression of adhesion molecules and peroxynitrite-related pathways with subsequent reduction of neutrophil-mediated cellular injury. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
