Abstract
Manganese porphyrins are well-known protectors against the deleterious effects of pro-oxidant species such as superoxide ions and hydrogen peroxide. The present study investigated the antioxidant cytochrome c-like activities of Mn(III)TMPyP [meso-tetrakis (4-N-methyl pyridinium) porphyrin] against superoxide ion and hydrogen peroxide that remained unexplored for this porphyrin. The association of TMPyP with a model of the inner mitochondrial membrane, cardiolipin (CL)-containing liposomes, shifted +30 mV vs. NHE (normal hydrogen electrode) redox potential of the Mn(II)/Mn(III) redox couple. In CL-containing liposomes, Mn(III)TMPyP was reduced by superoxide ions and recycled by Fe(III)cytochrome c to the oxidized form. Similarly, isolated rat liver mitoplasts added to a sample of Mn(II)TMPyP promoted immediate porphyrin reoxidation by electron transfer to the respiratory chain. These results show that Mn(III)TMPyP can act as an additional pool of Fe(III)cytochrome c capable of transferring electrons that escape from the IV complex back into the respiratory chain. Unlike Fe(II)cytochrome c, Mn(II)TMPyP was not efficient for hydrogen peroxide clearance. Therefore, by reducing cytochrome c, Mn(II)TMPyP can indirectly contribute to hydrogen peroxide elimination.

Photodamage in a mitochondrial membrane model modulated by the topology of cationic and anionic meso-tetrakis porphyrin free bases. Photochem Photobiol 2014; 90:596-608.

Abstract
The photodynamic effects of the cationic TMPyP (meso-tetrakis [N-methyl-4-pyridyl]porphyrin) and the anionic TPPS4 (meso-tetrakis[4-sulfonatophenyl]porphyrin) against PC/CL phosphatidylcholine/cardiolipin (85/15%) membranes were probed to address the influence of phorphyrin binding on lipid damage. Electronic absorption spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements demonstrated that only TMPyP binds to PC/CL large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs). The photodamage after irradiation with visible light was analyzed by dosages of lipid peroxides (LOOH) and thiobarbituric reactive substance and by a contrast phase image of the giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). Damage to LUVs and GUVs promoted by TMPyP and TPPS4 were qualitatively and quantitatively different. The cationic porphyrin promoted damage more extensive and faster. The increase in LOOH was higher in the presence of D2O, and was impaired by sodium azide and sorbic acid. The effect of D2O was higher for TPPS4 as the photosensitizer. The use of DCFH demonstrated that liposomes prevent the photobleaching of TMPyP. The results are consistent with a more stable TMPyP that generates long-lived singlet oxygen preferentially partitioned in the bilayer. Conversely, TPPS4 generates singlet oxygen in the bulk whose lifetime is increased in D2O. Therefore, the affinity of the porphyrin to the membrane modulates the rate, type and degree of lipid damage.
