Stereoselective synthesis of atropisomeric korupensamines A and B utilizing planar chiral arene chromium complex

Naphthyl tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids, atropisomeric korupensamines A and B and ent-korupensamine B, were synthesized by syn-selective cross-coupling of a planar chiral arene chromium complex with naphthylboronic acid and subsequent axial isomerization or tricarbonylchromium migration to the inverted arene face as a key step. Palladium(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of planar chiral arene chromium complex 12 with naphthylboronic acid 9 gave syn-biaryl coupling product 13. syn-Biaryl chromium complex 13 was heated in 1:1 mixture of di-n-butyl ether and 1,2-dichloroethane to give a face-inverted anti-biaryl chromium complex 14 without axial isomerization. Korupensamine A was synthesized from the syn-biaryl chromium complex 13 via o-formyl syn-biaryl chromium complex 10, and ent-korupensamine B was prepared from the face-inverted anti-biaryl chromium complex 14. On the other hand, difluoro-substituted syn-biaryl chromium complex 40 with a formyl group afforded anti-biaryl chromium complex 41 containing a rotated central bond by heating in xylene. The chromium-complexed fluorine atom was easily substituted with an isopropoxy group by nucleophilic substitution. Use of these reactions allowed (+)-2-bromo-3,5-difluorobenzaldehyde chromium complex (37) as a single chiral source to be converted to atropisomeric korupensamines A and B, respectively.     

Evaluation of 99mTc-HIDA complex as a cholescintigraphic agent (author's transl)

In the reaction labeling N-(2,6-dimethylphenylcarbamoylmethyl) iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) with 99mTc, several complexes with different chemical characteristics were observed to occur with slight changes in the labeling conditions. Among these complexes, a complex detected in the bile of rats was limited to one complex, named as complex II. The preparation method of 99mTc-HIDA complex II and the exchange reaction between this complex and penicillamine indicate that 99mTc is coordinated with HIDA as low-hydrolyzed 99mTc in this complex. This complex is excreted rapidly through the bile and within 1 hr, about 65% of the total activity injected is recovered from bile in rats. The organ distribution of this complex was studied in mice by radioassay and in rabbits by scintillation camera and, in both cases, the radioactivity was accumulated in the gallbladder. These results suggest that the 99mTc chemical state, low-hydrolyzed state, relates to the bile excretion behavior of this complex, a potentially useful cholescintigraphic agent.     

SYNTHESIS OF POLY（3,4-AZOPYRIDYLENE） AND OXYGEN-BINDING AFFINITY OF ITS COMPLEX WITH COBALTPORPHYRIN

Synthesis and characteristics of poly(3,4-azopyridylene) (PAP), conductivity and oxygen-binding affinity of its complex with meso-α,α,α,α-tetrakis(o-pivalamidophenyl) porphyrinatocobalt(Ⅱ) (CoP) were studied. PAP was prepared by oxidative polymerization of 3,4-diaminopyridine (DAP) in DMF solution using CuCl/pyridine as the catalyst. IR and NMR results showed that the peak of amido group in DAP was converted to the azo group in PAP and a π conjugated polymer was synthesized. The average molecular weight of PAP was determined to be 5.0 × 103. The PAP-CoP complex was prepared by complexing the pyridyl group of PAP with the fifth coordination site of CoP in DMF solution. In comparison with the CoP complex with a non-π conjugated polymer, the PAP-CoP complex shows good electroconductivity of 5.8 × 10-6 Scm-1. The PAP-CoP complex displays a reversible change in the UV-Visible absorption spectrum from the deoxy form to the oxy or oxygen-binding one with an isosbestic point, in response to the partial oxygen pressure of the atmosphere. The oxygen-response behavior was monitored at the absorbance ascribed to the oxy form at 548 nm to give the oxygen-binding affinity.The oxygen-binding equilibrium curves of PAP-CoP complex obey a Langmuir isotherm. DMF has great effects on the oxygen-binding properties of the PAP-CoP complex. The oxygen-binding affinity of PAP-CoP complex in the solid state is higher than that in DMF solution. With decreasing temperature, the oxygen-binding affinity of the PAP-CoP complex increases.     

Synthesis and biodistribution of the 99m TcN-DMSA complex as a potential bone imaging agent

In this study, the preparation of the 99m TcN complex of DMSA (dimercaptosuccinicacid) was carried out as a freeze-dried formulation, through a simple procedureinvolving the initial of 99m TcO 4 – with succinic dihydrazide in thepresence of stannous chloride as reducing agent, followed by the additionof the ligand DMSA to afford the final product. The radiochemical purity ofthe 99m TcN-DMSA complex was over 90% determined by thin layer chromatography.It was stable over 8 hours at room temperature. Its partition coefficientindicated that it was a good hydrophilic complex. Biodistribution in miceshowed that the 99m TcN-DMSA complex was accumulated in bone with high uptakeand good retention, suggesting it would be potentially useful as a bone imagingagent containing the [ 99m TcN] 2+ core. The biodistribution comparison inmice of the 99m TcN-DMSA complex and the 99m Tc-DMSA complex indicate thatthe presence of the 99m Tc nitrido group significantly alters the biologicalproperties of the 99m Tc complex.     

Studies on the radiolysis of U(VI)-thoron complex

This work is an investigation of the radiation stability of thoron-uranium complex. It deals mainly with the effect of absorbed dose on the absorption spectra of the complex at different complex concentrations. The radiolysis of the complex, was also investigated in presence of varying concentrations of ethanol and methanol. The decrease in absorbance at the characteristic peak as a function of absorbed dose, complex concentration, and alcohol concentration was used to calculate the G-value and the specific rate of bimolecular interaction of the complex molecule with water radiolysis products. The radiolysis mechanism was discussed in the light of the results.National Center of Radiation Research and Technology.

The effect of the antioxidant spermine on the photophysical reactions of tryptophan in aqueous solution at 77 K

Fluorescence, phosphorescence and electron paramagnetic resonance techniques were used to investigate the effect of the antioxidant spermine on the initial photophysical reactions of tryptophan (Trp) in aqueous salt solutions at 77 K. At low concentrations of Trp (3.5 X 10(-5) M) a ground state complex was formed between one Trp and two spermine molecules (a 1:2 complex). Complexed Trp was photodegraded at a rate 65% lower than the free molecule due to a change in the charge-transfer character of the excited 1La state. At high concentrations of Trp (3.5 X 10(-3) M) the phosphorescence was almost completely quenched due to hydrogen-bond formation between two neighbouring Trp molecules. A strong complex was formed between this Trp dimer and one spermine molecule on addition of spermine (a 2:1 complex). Spermine enhanced intersystem crossing in one of the two Trp molecules in the 2:1 complex and phosphorescence was observed. From this triplet state the tryptophyl radical was formed with high efficiency by hydrogen-atom transfer. The yield of radical formation from the triplet state in the 2:1 complex was much larger than from the excited singlet state in the 1:2 complex.     

Permeation of complexed metal ions through a hydrophobic membrane

Selective concentration of a heavy metal complex with acetylacetone (acac) through a hydrophobic polystyrene membrane was carried out under a pressure gradient. A chelate forming heavy metal was selectively concentrated about 2 fold by this method. When using a coating membrane with a high water flux, the permeabilities increased with increasing complex fraction in the aqueous solution, while using a membrane with a low water flux, a bulky complex was not highly concentrated because of steric hindrance. The complex partitioned on the membrane surface was transported and concentrated under a pressure gradient and a linear relationship was found to exist between permeabilities and partition coefficients. It will be possible to concentrate hydrophobic organic solutes by this method, for acac was concentrated when the Cu—acac complex was formed. As the permeabilities increased with decreasing pressure and membrane compaction was strong for a coating membrane, it seems effective to permeate at a low pressure.

Integration of a microextraction system solvent extraction of a Co-2-nitroso-5-dimethylaminophenol complex on a microchip

A newly designed microchannel for solvent extraction was fabricated in a quartz glass chip and applied to solvent extraction of a Co-2-nitroso-5-dimethylaminophenol complex. The aqueous solution of Co complex and toluene were introduced into the microchannel, and the Co complex extracted in toluene was detected by thermal lens microscopy (TLM). The Co complex was quickly extracted into toluene when the flow was stopped. The observed extraction time, ca. 50 s, was almost equivalent to the value calculated using the diffusion distance and diffusion coefficient. The dependence of the TLM signal on the concentration of the Co complex showed good linearity in the range of 1 x 10(-7) - 1 x 10(-6) M.     

Copper(II)–Girard's T complex as a promising anti‐tumor agent

A copper(II) complex was evaluated for its anti‐tumor activity. Firstly, electrophoretic studies were applied on the complex. These studies revealed the binding of the complex to calf thymus DNA, leading to a delay in electrophoretic mobility of the DNA molecule. Secondly, spectroscopic data pointed out that the λ_max of DNA was shifted to a longer wavelength, which was accompanid by a hyperchromic shift. Moreover, the λ_max of copper(II) complex was shifted to a shorter wavelength. The favorable reaction conditions between the DNA molecule and the copper(II) complex were studied. Thirdly, The effects of the ligand and the Cu(II) ion were tested separately on the DNA molecule by electrophoresis technique. Furthermore, the fluorescence quenching of DNA bound ethidium ion by Cu(II)‐Girard's T complex was noticed. The IR spectral data of DNA before and after the reaction with the copper(II) complex indicated that the interaction takes place through the carbonyl group of DNA nucleobases. Finally, a significant increase in the mean survival of EAC (Ehrlich ascites carcinoma) tumor‐bearing mice was observed when treated with the copper(II) complex. The tumor volume was also significantly reduced (p < 0.0001). Electrophoretic studies showed that the DNA pattern extracted from EAC cells of tumor‐bearing mice was affected after treatment with the copper(II) complex. Flow cytometric studies showed that this complex may be taken into consideration in seeking novel anti‐tumor agents. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Characterization of creaming precipitate of tea catechins and caffeine in aqueous solution

The content of a crude precipitate formed by creaming, which was made from a catechin mixture and caffeine, was investigated by an integral volume of H-2 proton signals of tea catechins in the (1)H-NMR spectrum. Gallated catechins formed a crude precipitate more predominantly than non-gallated catechins. The 2,3-cis-non-gallated catechin (-)-epicatechin (EC) formed a 1?:?1 complex with caffeine, and 2,3-cis-gallated catechin (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg) formed a 2?:?4 complex with caffeine. The π-π complexation site of EC with caffeine was only the A ring, whereas that of ECg included all aromatic rings, A, B, and B'. It was thought that the hydrophobicity of the 2?:?4 complex of ECg and caffeine was stronger than that of the 1?:?1 complex of EC and caffeine, with the result that the 2?:?4 complex of ECg and caffeine precipitated by creaming more predominantly than the 1?:?1 complex of EC and caffeine in aqueous solution.     

QUENCHING OF PHOTOEXCITED 4,4'-DICARBOXY-2,2'-BIPYRIDINEBIS(2,2'-BIPYRIDINE)RUTHENIUM(II) BY OXYGEN IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION AND IN SILK FIBROIN MEMBRANE

Abstract— Photoluminescence and quenching of 4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridinebis(2,2'-bipyridine)-ruthenium(II) complex (Ru(DCbpy)(bpy)²₂⁺) in an aqueous solution as well as in a silk fibroin membrane were studied. Emission quenching by oxygen in an aqueous solution showed a linear relationship with respect to oxygen concentration. When the complex was incorporated into a silk fibroin membrane by adsorption from an aqueous solution into a preformed membrane, the photoexcited state of the complex was not quenched by oxygen in an aqueous phase. However, when the complex was incorporated into a silk fibroin membrane by casting a mixture of the complex and silk fibroin, the photoexcited complex was quenched by oxygen in an aqueous phase. In this case the Stern-Volmer plots showed a downward-deviating curve indicating heterogeneity of the probe site. Emission intensity decreased with an increase of the water content in the silk fibroin membrane.     

Polymerization of coordinated monomers. III. Copolymerization of acrylonitrile–zinc chloride,methacrylonitrile–zinc chloride or methyl methacrylate–zinc chloride complex with styrene

The 1:1 or 2:1 complex of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, or methyl methacrylate with ZnCl₂ was copolymerized with styrene at the temperature of 0–30°C without any initiator. The structure of the copolymer from methyl methacrylate complex and styrene was examined by NMR spectroscopy. The complexes of acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile with ZnCl₂ gave a copolymer containing about 50 mole-% styrene units. The complexes of methyl methacrylate yielded an alternating copolymer when the feed molar ratio of methyl methacrylate to styrene was small, but with increasing feed molar ratio the resulting copolymer consisted of about 2 moles of methyl methacrylate per mole of styrene. The formation of a charge-transfer complex of styrene with a monomer coordinated to zinc atom was inferred from the ultraviolet spectra. The regulation of the copolymerization was considered to be effected by the charge-transfer complex. The copolymer resulting from the 2:1 methyl methacrylate–zinc chloride complex had no specific tacticity, whereas the copolymer from the 1:1 complex was richer in coisotacticity than in cosyndiotacticity. The change of the composition of the copolymer and its specific tacticity in the polymerization of the methyl methacrylate complex is related to the structure of the complex.     

Preparation of Tc-HA complex by displacement of thiourea from the hexakis(thiourea-S)technetium(III) complex

The complexation of technetium with humic acid is usually done by a reduction of pertechnetate by Sn²⁺ ions. A Tc-HA complex can be scavenged in a Sn-HA complex, if tin is present as reductant. The main aim of the study was a preparation of the Tc-HA complex without impurities of Sn ions or other metal reductant, which was performed by a ligand exchange with hexakis(thiourea-S)technetium(III) under nitrogen atmosphere at pH 5.5. The [Tc(tu)₆]³⁺ complex was prepared from TcO₄ ^- in acidic solution with thiourea as a reductant. Presence of the Tc-HA complex and other technetium species was determined by gel chromatography, paper chromatography and dialysis. Yield of Tc-HA complex was about 80% and reaction mixture contains about 20% of technetium dioxide, which is a side product of ligand-exchange.

Binuclear cyclometalated organoplatinum complexes containing 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene as spacer ligand: kinetics and mechanism of MeI oxidative addition

The binuclear complex [Pt2Me2(ppy)2(mu-dppf)], 1, in which ppy = deprotonated 2-phenylpyridyl and dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, was synthesized by the reaction of [PtMe(SMe2)(ppy)] with 0.5 equiv of dppf at room temperature. In this reaction when 1 equiv of dppf was used, the dppf chelating complex 2, [PtMe(dppf)(ppy-kappa1C)], was obtained. The reaction of Pt(II)-Pt(II) complex 1 with excess MeI gave the Pt(IV)-Pt(IV) complex [Pt2I2Me4(ppy)2(mu-dppf)], 3. When the reaction was performed with 1 equiv of MeI, a mixture containing unreacted complex 1, a mixed-valence Pt(II)-Pt(IV) complex [PtMe(ppy)(mu-dppf)PtIMe2(ppy)], 4, and complex 3 was obtained. In a comparative study, the reaction of [PtMe(SMe2)(ppy)] with 1 equiv of monodentate phosphine PPh3 gave [PtMe(ppy)(PPh3)], A. MeI was reacted with A to give the platinum(IV) complex [PtMe2I(ppy)(PPh3)], C. All the complexes were fully characterized using multinuclear (1H, 31P, 13C, and 195Pt) NMR spectroscopy, and complex 2 was further identified by single crystal X-ray structure determination. The reaction of binuclear Pt(II)-Pt(II) complex 1 with excess MeI was monitored by low temperature 31P NMR spectroscopy and further by 1H NMR spectroscopy, and the kinetics of the reaction was studied by UV-vis spectroscopy. On the basis of the data, a mechanism has been suggested for the reaction which overall involved stepwise oxidative addition of MeI to the two Pt(II) centers. In this suggested mechanism, the reaction proceeded through a number of Pt(II)-Pt(IV) and Pt(IV)-Pt(IV) intermediates. Although MeI in each step was trans oxidatively added to one of the Pt(II) centers, further trans to cis isomerizations of Me and I groups were also identified. A comparative kinetic study of the reaction of monomeric platinum(II) complex A with MeI was also performed. The rate of reaction of MeI with complex 1 was some 3.5 times faster than that with complex A, indicating that dppf in the complex 1, as compared with PPh 3 in the complex A, has significantly enhanced the electron richness of the platinum centers.     

Biological characterization of 99m/99Tc(V)-cysteine complexes: A potential renal functional imaging agent

Cysteine was chelated with ^99m/99Tc in a freeze-dried kit containing tin(II) ions, and the green ^99m/99Tc-cysteine complex (complex III) was separated to study the biodistribution. The biodistribution of ^99m/99Tc-cysteine complexes was performed in mice. The renal excretion patterns of rats were studied with and without the renal tubular transport inhibitor 2,4-dinitrophenol. The carrier of Tc-cysteine complex in the blood and also the radioactive compounds in the urine were studied by HPGFC and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The kidney was confirmed as the target organ; serum albumin functions as a carrier to transport Tc-cysteine complex to the kidney. The protein-bound Tc-cysteine complex was the primary form in excreta, and renal tubular secretion was the foremost excretory pathway.
