Studies on the reaction kinetics and the mechanism of hydrolysis of bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) catalyzed by oxamido-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes in micellar solution

A kinetic mathematical model for BNPP cleavage was also proposed. The results showed that the reaction rate for the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP, compared with spontaneous hydrolysis of BNPP, increased by a factor of ca. 1 × 10⁶ due to the synergistic effect of two copper ions in the complex and the local concentration effect of the micelle. The study indicates that the metallomicelle-containing oxamido-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex may be a potential catalyst for the hydrolysis of BNPP.

Studies on BNPP Cleavage by Schiff Base Complexes Containing Benzoaza‐15‐Crown‐5 in DHAB Micellar Solution

Two novel benzoaza‐crown Schiff base cobalt (II) and manganese (III) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The hydrolysis of bis(4‐nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) catalyzed by the two complexes was studied in buffer solution containing dihexadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DHAB) at 25°±0.1°C and different pH values. The kinetic mathematical model of BNPP hydrolysis was proposed, and the effects of different reaction conditions on BNPP hydrolysis were discussed. The results indicate that the two complexes (MnLCl and CoL) can efficiently accelerate the catalytic cleavage of BNPP in DHAB micellar solution. The pseudo‐first‐order rate constants (k _obsd) of BNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the metallomicelles of MnLCl/DHAB and CoL/DHAB are 2.32×10⁷ times and 1.45×10⁷ times higher than that of the BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis, respectively. Possible reasons for the huge rate accelerations include the lower critical micelle concentration (cmc) of DHAB and formation of metallomicelles made of complexes and DHAB. Furthermore, the BNPP cleavage catalyzed only by the two complexes was investigated in buffer solution. It was found that the hydrolytic rates of BNPP catalyzed only by the two complexes were about 1% of those catalyzed by MnLCl/DHAB and CoL/DHAB systems at 25°C, pH=7.00, and [BNPP]=2.0×10^?4 mol · dm^?3.     

Phosphate Diester Cleavage Promoted by the Metallomicelles of Ce(III) Complexes of Aza-Crown Ether with Different Numbers of Nitrogen Atoms

The design of artificial hydrolase has attracted extensive attention due to their scientific significance and potential application in the field of gene medicine and molecular biology. This work reports the catalytic activation of two aza-crown ether Ce(III) complexes and their metallomicelles as artificial hydrolase in bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate ester (BNPP) hydrolysis. The chemical composition of two complexes was determined by the fluorescence spectra and the mole ratio method for electronic absorption spectra. The bonding effect of BNPP and solubilizing effect of the complexes were proved by a method of fluorescence spectroscopy. The catalytic activity of different catalytic systems in BNPP hydrolysis was measured with UV-vis spectrophotometric method. These catalytic systems showed high catalytic activity for promoting BNPP hydrolysis at the almost physiological conditions. BNPP hydrolysis rate in these catalytic system is about 10⁷- to 10⁹-fold faster than that of the BNPP spontaneous hydrolysis in aqueous solution at the same conditions. The metallomicelle systems exhibited higher catalytic activity compared with the complex solution systems in BNPP hydrolysis, and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide micelle provides a useful catalytic environment for reaction. The acid effect of the catalytic system is ascribed to the formation of metal-bound hydroxide serving as a better kind of nucleophile.

The catalytic hydrolysis of bis（4-nitrophenyl）phosphate （BNPP） by lanthanum（Ⅲ） ion in the presence of amino-alcoholic ligands： diethanolamine （DEA） and triethanolamine （TEA）, was investigated kinetically at 30 ℃. The results indicated that the dinuclear dihydroxo complexes formed by lanthanum（Ⅲ） ion with aminoalcoholic ligands might be the catalytically active species which catalyze the hydrolysis of BNPP to different extents and the catalytic mechanism was believed to involve the synergism of double Lewis acid activation of the substrate and an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of a bridging oxo ligand.     

Effective Homogeneous Hydrolysis of Phosphodiester and DNA Cleavage by Chitosan‐copper Complex

We aimed to explore the role of chitosan‐based metal complexes in catalyzing the hydrolysis of phosphodiesters. To this end, we performed detailed studies on the kinetics of the chitosan copper complex (CSCu)‐catalyzed hydrolysis of bis(4‐nitrophenol) phosphate (BNPP) in Tris‐H⁺ buffer and in an organic solvent. A significant enhancement in the rate of reaction (up to 3×10⁵‐fold acceleration) was observed at pH 8.0 (25°C). The pH dependence of BNPP hydrolysis at pH 5.5–9.5 and the UV spectra revealed that the copper‐bounded water molecules underwent deprotonation to form the active catalytic species CSCu‐OH. The kinetic behavior of BNPP catalytic hydrolysis in the Tris‐H⁺ buffer was consistent with that predicted by the Michaelis‐Menten kinetics model. An intramolecular nucleophilic attack by the copper‐bonded hydroxide group on the same activated phosphodiester substrate was proposed as the catalytic mechanism for CSCu‐catalyzed reaction system. The results of DNA binding and cleavage experiments indicated electrostatic binding mode of CSCu to DNA as well as the strong capability of CSCu to disturb the supercoiled strand of DNA and cleave it to nicked circular form.     

Studies on the reaction kinetics and the mechanism of hydrolysis of bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP) by hydroxamic acid complexes containing benzo-15-crown-5

A hydroxamic acid (HL) containing benzo-15-crown-5 and their copper(II), zinc(II), cobalt(II) and manganese(II) complexes have been synthesized and studied as catalysts for the cleavage of bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP).

The kinetic mathematical model of BNPP cleavage catalyzed by these complexes has been proposed. The effects of reaction temperature and metal ion in the complexes on the rate of BNPP catalytic hydrolysis have been discussed. The results show that the hydroxamic acid complexes containing benzo-15-crown-5 exhibit high activity in the BNPP catalyzed hydrolysis; the pseudo-first-order-rate constants of BNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the complexes increase along with the increases of pH of the buffer solution from 7.50 to 9.50; the activity of different metal ions decreases in the order: Co²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Zn²⁺ > Mn²⁺; the pseudo-first-order-rate constants of BNPP hydrolysis catalyzed by the complexes is 2.24 × 10⁵ ~ 3.24 × 10⁵ times as large as that of spontaneous hydrolysis of BNPP.

Metallomicellar Catalysis: Hydrolysis of Phosphodiester with Cu(II) and Zn(II) Complexes in Micellar Solution

Abstract

The effects of two metal complexes of 2,2′‐dipyridylamine (bpya) ligand, [(bpya)Cu]Cl₂ and [(bpya)Zn]Cl₂, in promoting the hydrolysis of bis(4‐nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) have been kinetically investigated in Brij35 micellar solution and at 298 K, pH ranging from 6.41 to 8.6. In neutral micellar solution at 298 K, pH 7.02, the rate constants for the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP by [(bpya)Cu]Cl₂ and [(bpya)Zn]Cl₂ are 1.2 × 10⁶ times and 1.5 × 10⁵ times higher than those for the spontaneous hydrolysis, respectively. Kinetic studies show that the active species in the catalytic hydrolysis of BNPP is the aquo‐hydroxy form, and the relative kinetic and thermodynamic parameters indicate that the mechanism of the reaction involves intramolecular nucleophilic attack on the metal center‐bound diester.     

Simplified speciation and improved phosphodiesterolytic activity of hydroxo complexes of trivalent lanthanides in aqueous DMSO

Potentiometric titrations of La(III), Nd(III), and Eu(III) perchlorates by Me 4N(OH) in 80% vol aq DMSO revealed formation of predominantly mononuclear complexes M(OH)n(3- n) (n = 1, 2, or 3) and a single binuclear complex M2(OH)(5+). Kinetics of the cleavage of two phosphate diesters, bis (4-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) and 2-hydroxypropyl 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (HPNPP), and a triester, 4-nitrophenyl diethyl phosphate (paraoxon), were studied as a function of metal and Me4N(OH) concentrations in the same medium. Rate of BNPP cleavage is second-order in metal and is proportional to the product of concentrations of M(OH)2(+) and M(OH)3 species. Rate of HPNPP cleavage is proportional to [M(OH)3](3) for La(III) and Nd(III) and to [M(OH)3](2) for Eu(III). Proposed mechanism for BNPP hydrolysis involves formation of M2(OH)5(diester) intermediate followed by intramolecular nucleophilic attack of hydroxide anion on the phosphoryl group of the substrate. Proposed mechanism for HPNPP cleavage involves formation of M3(OH)9(diester)(-) or M2(OH)6(diester)(-) intermediates followed by the general base-assisted intramolecular cyclization of HPNPP. The latter mechanism is supported by observation of the solvent kinetic isotope effect k H/kD = 2.9 for Eu(III) catalyzed HPNPP cleavage. The efficiency of catalysis in 80% DMSO is much higher than in water. The reaction rate observed in the presence of 1 mM metal in neutral solution surpasses the rate of background hydrolysis by a factor of 10(12)-10(13) for BNPP and 10(10) for HPNPP. The increased catalytic activity is attributed principally to the preferable solvation of lanthanide ions by DMSO, which creates an anhydrous microenvironment favorable for reaction in the coordination sphere of the catalyst. The catalytic activity of lanthanides in paraoxon hydrolysis is much lower with the estimated efficiency of catalysis about 10(5) for 1 mM La(III).
