Resumen:
   The dimeric copper(II) complex of hippuric acid (Hhipp), of stoichiometry [Cu2(hipp)4(H2O)4].2H2O has been thoroughly characterized by means of its infrared,Raman and electronic spectra, which could be interpreted on the basis of the known structural data. The superoxide dismutase-like activity of the complex was investigated using the nitrobluetetrazolium/superoxide reduction assay and compared with that obtained for the native Cu2Zn2-SOD enzyme, tested under the same experimental conditions. The results show a very important SOD-like activity, suggesting that these type of complexes may be interesting for the future search of new SOD-mimetic drugs.
