Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Dinuclear Cu(II) Complex with Tridentate Schiff Base and Azido Bridge

1 INTRODUCTION The azido ligand is an efficient superexchange path-way for propagating magnetic interaction between theparamagnetic centers, such as copper(II), giving di-nuclear, tetranuclear, 1D, 2D and 3D complexes[1～4].The versatility of this ligand due to its diverse bin-ding modes leads to the variation in magnetic pro-perties that depend on its orientation with respect tothe magnetic centers. In general, the bridging modesobserved for the azido group are endtoend and en-don. In…

Laser-Induced Electron-Transfer Processes in a Pyrene–β-Cyclodextrin Complex in Titanosilicate Systems

We have used fluorescent spectroscopy and laser flash photolysis to investigate the photonics of pyrene molecules in a pyrene–-cyclodextrin inclusion complex in various media. We have observed a protective effect of -cyclodextrin relative to solubilized pyrene molecules during quenching of fluorescence by Ti ions (or titanium dioxide particles) in mixed colloids. In the presence of a precursor of silica (a TEOS solution), the pyrene molecules react with the colloidal silica particles formed, and the reaction is accompanied by decomposition of the pyrene–-cyclodextrin inclusion complex and efficient photoionization of pyrene.

Short Communication: Crystal Structure of a Molecular Complex from Native β-Cyclodextrin and Copper(II) Chloride

Reaction of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with CuCl₂ in neutral aqueous solutions gave a stable molecular complex without any side-arm support. The X-ray crystallographic analysis clarified that the copper ion was located at the bottom of the primary-hydroxy side as a CuCl₂(H₂O)₂ form. Hydrogen bonds were found between the Cl and H₂O ligands and β-CD hydroxy and ether groups. The copper ion is axially coordinated with a hydroxy group of a neighboring β-CD molecule, giving a one-dimensional β-CD/CuCl₂ array.

Cellular Uptake of the ATSM−Cu(II) Complex under Hypoxic Conditions

The Cu(II)-diacetyl-bis (N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) complex (ATSM−Cu(II)) has been suggested as a promising positron emission tomography (PET) agent for hypoxia imaging. Several in-vivo studies have shown its potential to detect hypoxic tumors. However, its uptake mechanism and its specificity to various cancer cell lines have been less studied. Herein, we tested ATSM−Cu(II) toxicity, uptake, and reduction, using four different cell types: (1) mouse breast cancer cells (DA-3), (2) human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293), (3) breast cancer cells (MCF-7), and (4) cervical cancer cells (Hela) under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. We showed that ATSM−Cu(II) is toxic to breast cancer cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions; however, it is not toxic to normal HEK-293 non-cancer cells. We showed that the Cu(I) content in breast cancer cell after treatment with ATSM−Cu(II) under hypoxic conditions is higher than in normal cells, despite that the uptake of ATSM−Cu(II) is a bit higher in normal cells than in breast cancer cells. This study suggests that the redox potential of ATSM−Cu(II) is higher in breast cancer cells than in normal cells; thus, its toxicity to cancer cells is increased.
