EUK 8 and EUK 134 are synthetic catalytic scavengers of reactive oxygen species with superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase mimetic activity.1 EUK 124 is a structural analog of EUK 8 and EUK 134 with significantly reduced activity. EUK 124 and EUK 8 inhibit superoxide-mediated reduction of an electron acceptor (i.e., SOD mimetic activity), with IC50 values of 5 µM and 0.7 µM, respectively.2
