Protection against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity by Cu(II)2(3,5-diisopropylsalicylate)4.
The ability of Cu(II)(2)(3,5-diisopropylsalicylate)(4), CuDIPS, which exhibits superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity, to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity was examined in rats. Rats were divided into four groups and treated as follows: (i) vehicle control; (ii) cisplatin (16 mg/kg, intraperitoneally); (iii) CuDIPS (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally); and (iv) cisplatin plus CuDIPS. Rats were sacrificed 3 days post-treatment. Cisplatin alone resulted in significantly increased plasma creatinine and urea. Administration of 10 mg/kg CuDIPS prevented the cisplatin-induced elevation of plasma creatinine and urea and protected against kidney damage. Relative to controls, rats that received cisplatin treatment displayed a decrease of reduced glutathione (GSH) and elevated platinum and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels in the kidney. In comparison with controls, activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and GSH-Rd) were also reduced in the kidney of rats treated with cisplatin. Administration of 10 mg/kg CuDIPS prevented cisplatin-induced alterations in renal platinum, GSH, TBARS, and antioxidant enzyme activities. This study suggests that the protection offered by CuDIPS against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is partly related to maintenance of renal antioxidant systems.

Possible role of glutathione in the antitumor effect of a copper-containing synthetic superoxide dismutase in mice.
The effect of glutathione and a glutathione reductase inhibitor on the antitumor effect of Cu(II)(3,5-diisopropylsalicylate)2 (CuDIPS) was studied. CuDIPS is a low-molecular-weight copper coordination compound that exhibits superoxide dismutase-like activity. CuDIPS had antitumor activity against intraperitoneal Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in Swiss mice. A single ip injection of glutathione partially eliminated the antitumor effect of CuDIPS, whereas a single ip injection of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea enhanced the antitumor effect of CuDIPS. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that CuDIPS exerts part of its antitumor effect by producing H2O2.
