Naphthoflavone propargyl ether inhibitors of cytochrome P450

Cytochrome P450 enzymes protect the body from foreign substances through a mechanism that involves oxidation of those substances into more readily excretable polar compounds. It has been shown that some naphthoflavones function as substrates of certain P450 enzymes (CYP1A1 and CYP1B1) and with appropriate structural changes may become inhibitors. Moreover, propargyl ether derivatives of adamantane have been shown to function as selective inactivators of some P450 enzymes (CYP2B1 and CYP2B5). In an attempt to improve the potency and selectivity of inhibition, we have designed and synthesized a series of naphthoflavone propargyl ethers. We report here the synthesis, X-ray crystal structures, and inhibition data (IC₅₀ of EROD inhibition in CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 enzymes) of α-naphthoflavone 2′-propargyl ether, β-naphthoflavone 2′-propargyl ether, α-naphthoflavone 4′-propargyl ether, and β-naphthoflavone 4′-propargyl ether.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of (2,4-Diamino-5-(3′,4′,5′-Trimethoxybenzyl)Pyrimidine Copper (II)) Complex

Abstract  The reaction of Cu(OOCCH₃)₂·H₂O with (2,4-diamino-5-(3′,4′,5′-trimethoxybenzyl) pyrimidine (trimethoprim) in ethanolic solution at 80 °C affords the title complex which has been characterized by elemental, IR, and NMR (¹H and ¹³C).The crystal structure has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 (C₃₆H₄₈Cu₂N₈O₁₄) is triclinic, space group P-1 with a = 7.2676(4) ?, b = 11.6721(7) ?, c = 12.8279(8) ?, α = 95.839(1)°, β = 93.456(1)°, γ = 105.541(1)°, Z = 1. Two copper atoms are coordinated directly to each other as well as are held together by four bridging aceto groups. Each copper atom is also bonded opposite the Cu–Cu vector to a trimethoprim molecule through the N(1) atom of the pyrimidine ring. Trimethoprim acts as a monodentate ligand through the pyrimidine nitrogen N(1) atom. The complex was screened for the activity against several bacteria, showing more activity against bacteria as compared to trimethoprim. Graphical Abstract  To enhance the activity of trimethoprim, its derivative was prepared and there bacterial activity against several bacteria was analyzed.      

Crystal Structure and Thermal Studies of Ruthenium(II) Bisimidazolylterpyridine Hexafluorophosphate Complex

Abstract  

A hexafluorophosphate salt of ruthenium(II) bis(4′-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) complex was synthesized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2₁/c with unit cell parameters, a = 18.5878(15) ?, b = 15.9546(11) ?, c = 16.1418(12) ?, β = 106.721(3)°, V = 4584.6(6) ?³ and Z = 4. The bond lengths, bond angles and torsional angles of hexafluorophosphate salt of the [Ru(itpy)₂]²⁺ cation show significant change from the nitrate salt of the same cation. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry confirm the loss of solvents of crystallization between 100 and 200 °C.
