FeTPPS is a metalloporphyrin-based ONOO⁻ decomposition catalyst [1]. FeTPPS catalyzes the decomposition of peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻), reducing its nitrating/oxidative damage to proteins, DNA, and lipids [2-3]. FeTPPS is primarily used in the study of oxidative stress-related disease models [4].
In cardiomyocytes, FeTPPS (50μM; 24h) reduces cell death caused by SIN-1 and SIN-1 plus H2O2 [5]. In spermatids, exposure to FeTPPS (25-50μM; 24h) ameliorates nitrosative stress [6].
In controlled cortical impact injury (CCI) mice model, FeTPPS (10mg/kg, 30mg/kg; ip; two injections) reduces secondary damage and improves neurobehavioral functions after traumatic brain injury. [7]. In a high-fat diet mice model, FeTPPS (50-60mg/kg; po; 8 weeks) treatment more than doubled the insulin-induced drop in blood glucose levels [8].
