The effect of lamellar liquid crystals system on SOD-like activity of copper-salicylate complex

Copper-Salicylate complex was synthesized and its ability that inhibits the reduction of NET by the superoxide radical (CO2.-) was measured in aqueous solution and in AOT, TX-100, CTAB lamellar liquid crystals systems, It is obtained that the copper complex had SOD-like activity either in solution ( ID50=1.1x10(-6) mol/L) or in AOT lamellar liquid crystal (ID50= 2 0x10(-5) mol/L), Experiments show that AOT lamellar liquid crystal had SOD-like acti vity itself, The synergism of copper complex and AOT lamellar liquid crysta l can enhance the SOD-like activity of the system.
