The synthesis of ethyl esters of 2-salicylidene derivatives of tyrosine, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glycycl-glycine was carried out. These Schiff base ligands present themselves as pale-yellow crystals. These Schiff bases have been used to prepare Mn(II) complexes by allowing then to react with Mn(II) ion. Their possible structures were determined using several analytical and physical-chemical techniques. These Mn(II) complexes are obtained as gray crystals. Cytogenic studies of bone marrow cells from whole-body 4.2 Gy (0.42 y/min dose rate) irradiated white inbred rats revealed that prior administration of 10mg/kg of the Mn chelate of the ethyl ester of the 2-salisylidene derivative of tyrosine was radioprotective. Compared to two control groups: (I) - animals exposed to irradiation only and (II) - animals treated with vehicle before irradiation, there was a 7-fold decrease in number of chromosome aberrations. Mn-chelates of 2-salicylidene GABA and glycyl-glycine were less radioprotective. The studies compounds have just as superoxide scavanging activity.
