Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional materials technology, and more specifically, to a method for preparing copper-based metal complexes and their application in antioxidant activity. Background Technology

[0002] In enzyme-mediated cellular metabolism, oxygen undergoes a series of single-electron reductions leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Excessively high ROS levels disrupt redox balance, causing oxidative stress and severe damage to the structure and function of macromolecules within cells. Existing natural enzymes are limited in their application for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory purposes due to their high cost, low yield, and instability. Nanozymes, with their superior catalytic activity and stability compared to natural enzymes, can serve as alternatives. Metal-based antioxidant materials containing polyphenolic compounds exhibit strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects due to their phenolic hydroxyl groups and possess high biocompatibility, making them a major focus of current biomedical research.

[0003] Metal-organic materials are coordination materials formed by the linkage of metal ions or metal clusters with organic ligands through various interactions, exhibiting high biocompatibility. Combining the characteristics of inorganic and organic materials, and utilizing the antioxidant and low-toxicity properties of polyphenols and the antibacterial properties of metal ions, metal-organic materials are gradually becoming prominent candidates in the fields of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory applications.
