Copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of macrocyclic polyamine derivatives possessing partial oligopeptide-like structures are found to suppress the xanthine-xanthine oxidase-mediated reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium and also to suppress formazan formation by potassium superoxide. The activity in the superoxide dismutase assay is dependent on ring size, type and number of donor atoms, metal ion, and substituents on the macrocycles. Some of those are more active than the known O2- scavengers such as copper(II)-salicylate and copper(II)-amino acid (or peptide) complexes. Nickel (II)-naphthylmethyl-dioxo-[16]ane N5, 13, 1:1 complex (NiH-2L) is the most active among the 30 chelates examined.
