A smart supramolecular artificial glutathione peroxidase (GPx) with tunable catalytic activity was prepared based on host–guest interaction and a blending process. The change of the self-assembled structure of SGPxmax during the temperature responsive process played a significant role in altering the temperature responsive catalytic behavior.

A series of o-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl selenides containing single or multiple methoxy substituents was synthesized, and the rate at which each compound catalyzed the oxidation of benzyl thiol to its disulfide with excess hydrogen peroxide was measured. This assay provided the means for comparing the relative abilities of the selenides to mimic the antioxidant selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase. The mechanism for catalytic activity involves oxidation of the selenides to their corresponding selenoxides with hydrogen peroxide, cyclization to spirodioxyselenuranes, followed by reduction with two equivalents of thiol to regenerate the original selenide with concomitant disulfide formation. A single p-methoxy group on each aryl moiety afforded the highest catalytic activity, while methoxy groups in the meta position had little effect compared to the unsubstituted selenide, and o-methoxy groups suppressed activity. The installation of multiple methoxy groups on each aryl moiety provided no improvement. These results can be rationalized on the basis of dominating mesomeric and steric effects of the p- and o-substituents, respectively.

The investigation of the catalytic behavior of a hydrophobic guest artificial glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (ADA-Te-ADA) was carried out employing H2O2 and 3-carboxyl-4-nitrobenzenethiolas (TNB) as substrates. The relation between the catalytic rate of ADA-Te-ADA and the property of solvent used in the determination of catalytic activity was revealed. Typically, the co-solvents including ethanol, DMSO, DMF and CH3CN were employed in the determination of catalytic rates. It indicated that ADA-Te-ADA exhibited the typical solvent-dependent catalytic behavior. Especially, the higher catalytic rate was observed when polar protic solvent (ethanol) was used compared with other co-solvents. It suggested that polar protic solvent was the appropriate co-solvent for the assay of catalytic activity of hydrophobic artificial GPx. Additionally, the strong polarity of polar aprotic solvent plays an important role in the enhancement of GPx catalytic activity. This study bodes well for the understanding of the catalytic behavior of hydrophobic guest artificial GPx.
