Volumetric Properties of Nucleic Acid Bases and Nucleosides in Aqueous Ethanol, 1,2-Ethanediol, 2-Propanol, and 2-Methyl-2-Propanol at 25°C

Partial molar volumes of cytosine, uracil, thymine, cytidine, uridine, thymidine, and adenosine have been measured in different concentrations of aqueous ethanol, 1,2-ethanediol, 2-propanol, and 2-methyl-2-propanol at 25°C using densimetry. These data are utilized in conjunction with the partial molar volumes of these nucleic acid bases and nucleosides in water reported earlier to deduce the partial molar volumes of transfer from water to aqueous alcohol or diol. The results are explained in terms of likely solute–solvent interactions; the role of solvent in these interactions is discussed. The partial molar volume data are also used to calculate the contribution of –CH₂- groups in the nucleic acid base or solvent and of ribose in the nucleoside to the partial molar volume of transfer. The validity of group additivity in these systems is discussed.

Determination of Aromatic Amines in Textile After Bromination, by Gas Chromatography Coupled with Electron Capture Detection

A new analytical method is developed for the improved determination of banned aromatic amines in textiles based on the bromination of the aromatic ring system to yield the corresponding bromo derivatives. The derivatization method is very easy to perform and the derivatives can easily extract and separate with gas chromatography. Due to the introduction of the electron withdrawing bromo substituents sensitive detection with very low limits of detection using an electron capture detector is possible. The method was optimized and used for the analysis of textile with quantitative recoveries from spiked samples.

Syntheses,Structures, and Properties of Copper(II), Cobalt(II), and Cadmium(II) Complexes with Flexible Multicarboxylate Ligand

Three new coordination polymers, namely, [CuL_0.5] ( 1 ), [Co(H₂L)(H₂O)₂][H₂O] ( 2 ), and [(CdCl)_0.5Cd_0.25(H₂L)_0.5] ( 3 ) were synthesized under hydrothermal conditions from the corresponding Cu^II, Co^II, and Cd^II salts with a multidentate ligand of 2,2′,2′′,2′′′‐[2,3,5,6‐tetramethyl‐1,4‐phenylenebis(methylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (H₄L). The complexes were characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, IR, thermogravimetric, and elemental analyses. Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca and has a three‐dimensional architecture with infinite two‐dimensional networks linked together by weak Cu–O interactions. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1) and displays a 2D network. Complex 3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4(2)/ncm and exhibits an infinite 3D architecture that has unusual [Cd₂(CO₂)₄Cl₂] dinuclear paddle‐wheel units and [Cd(CO₂)₄] dodecahedron units. The results showed that the coordination arrangement of central metal atoms and the conformation and coordination mode of organic ligands play an important role in determining the structure of the complexes. The luminescence property of complex 3 was studied in the solid state at room temperature.

Mononuclear and Tetranuclear Copper(II) Complexes Bearing Amino Acid Schiff Base Ligands: Structural Characterization and Catalytic Applications

Two new glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complexes were synthesized. Single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) allowed us to establish the structure of both complexes in the solid state. The glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2′-hydroxy-5′-nitroacetophenone showed a mononuclear hydrated structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tridentate ligand, and the glycine-Schiff base copper(II) complex derived from 2′-hydroxy-5′-methylacetophenone showed a less common tetranuclear anhydrous metallocyclic structure, in which the Schiff base acted as a tetradentate ligand. In both compounds, copper(II) had a tetracoordinated square planar geometry. The results of vibrational, electronic, and paramagnetic spectroscopies, as well as thermal analysis, were consistent with the crystal structures. Both complexes were evaluated as catalysts in the olefin cyclopropanation by carbene transference, and both led to very high diastereoselectivity (greater than 98%).     

Designing a New Class of Bases for Nucleic Acid Quadruplexes and Quadruplex‐Active Ligands

A new class of quadruplex nucleobases, derived from 3‐deazaguanine, has been designed for various applications as smart quadruplex ligands as well as quadruplex‐based aptamers, receptors, and sensors. An efficient strategy for modifying the guanine quadruplex core has been developed and tested by using quantum chemistry methods. Several potential guanine derivatives modified at the 3‐ or 8‐position or both are analyzed, and the results compared to reference systems containing natural guanine. Analysis of the formation energies (BLYP‐D3(BJ)/def2‐TZVPP level of theory, in combination with the COSMO model for water) in model systems consisting of two and three stacked tetrads with Na⁺/K⁺ ion(s) inside the internal channel indicates that the formation of structures with 3‐halo‐3‐deazaguanine bases leads to a substantial gain in energy, as compared to the corresponding reference guanine complexes. The results cast light on changes in the noncovalent interactions (hydrogen bonding, stacking, and ion coordination) in a quadruplex stem upon modification of the guanine core. In particular, the enhanced stability of the modified quadruplexes was shown to originate mainly from increased π–π stacking. Our study suggests the 3‐halo‐3‐deazaguanine skeleton as a potential building unit for quadruplex systems and smart G‐quadruplex ligands.     

Development of a High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detector (HPLC-DAD) Method for Determination of Biogenic Amines in Ripened Cheeses

Biogenic amines (BAs) are organic, basic nitrogenous compounds formed during the decarboxylation of amino acids. A method for the determination of eight biogenic amines (tryptamine, 2-phenyletylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, spermidine, spermine) in ripened cheeses was developed and validated. Cheese samples with the addition of internal standards were extracted with 0.2 M perchloric acid and pre-column derivatized with dansyl chloride at 60 °C for 15 min, purified with toluene and dried under a stream of nitrogen. The samples were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The method was validated with the BAs at three concentration levels: 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, respectively. The obtained values of correlation coefficient (R²) ranged at 0.9997–0.9998 for all of compounds. The limits of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were in ranges 1.53–1.88 and 5.13–6.28 mg/kg, respectively. The recovery for all of biogenic amines ranged from 70 to 120% and the precision (RSDr) value were <20%. The validated method was applied to analysis of 35 real ripened cheese samples purchased in Poland.

An efficient electrophilic N-cyanation of amines with a stable and less-toxic cyanobenziodoxole reagent towards the synthesis of cyanamides is disclosed. This synthetically practicable strategy allows the construction of a wide variety of cyanamides under very mild and simple conditions with a broad functional group compatibility, and showcases a huge potential in late-stage modification of complex molecules.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Evaluation of the Antibacterial and Antitumor Activity of HalogenatedSalen Copper (II) Complexes derived from Camphoric Acid

Platinum metal complexes are the most common chemotherapeutics currently used in cancer treatment. However, the frequent adverse effects, as well as acquired resistance by tumor cells, urge the development of effective alternatives. In the recent past, copper complexes with Schiff base ligands have emerged as good alternatives, showing interesting results. Accordingly, and in continuation of previous studies in this area, three new camphoric acid-derived halogenated salen ligands and their corresponding Cu (II) complexes were synthesized and their antitumor activity was evaluated in order to determine the influence of the type and number of halogens present (Br, Cl). The in vitro cytotoxic activity was screened against colorectal WiDr and LS1034 and against breast MCF-7 and HCC1806 cancer cell lines. The results proved the halogenated complexes to be very efficient, the tetrachlorinated Cu (II) complex being the most promising, presenting IC₅₀ of 0.63–1.09 μM for the cell lines studied. The complex also shows selectivity to colorectal cancer cells compared to non-tumor colon cells. It is worth highlighting that the tetrachlorinated Cu (II) complex, our most efficient complex, shows a significantly more powerful antitumor effect than the reference drugs currently used in conventional chemotherapy. The halogenated salen and corresponding complexes were also screened for their antimicrobial activity against four bacterial species-Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa-and four fungal species-Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Aspergillus fumigatus and Alternaria alternata. The compounds were found to exhibit moderate to strong antibacterial activity against the bacterial strains studied. NMR studies and theoretical calculations provided some insight into the structure of the ligands and copper complexes. Considering the results presented herein, our work validates the potential use of copper-based chemotherapeutics as alternatives for cancer treatment.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Copper(II) Complex with N,N'-Cyclohexanebis(3- formyl- 5-tert-butyl-salicylaldimine)

INTRODUCTION Schiff-base complexes are some of the most important stereochemical models in transition metal coordination chemistry, with their ease of preparation and structural variation.[1~4] Metal derivatives of Schiff-base have been studied extensively, and copper(II) and nickel (II) complexes play major roles in both synthetic and structural research.

Synthesis,Structures and Spectroscopic Properties of Platinum(II), Palladium(II) and Copper(I) Halide Complexes with Pyrimidine‐phosphine Ligand

The reactions of pyrimidine‐phosphine ligand N‐[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]‐2‐pyrimidinamine ( L ) with various metal salts of Pt^II, Pd^II and Cu^I provide three new halide metal complexes, Pt₂Cl₄(μ‐L)₂·2CH₂Cl₂ ( 1 ), Pd₂Cl₄(μ‐L)₂ ( 2 ), and [Cu₂(μ‐I)₂L₂]_n ( 3 ). Single crystal X‐ray diffraction studies show that complexes 1 and 2 display a similar bimetallic twelve‐membered ring structure, while complex 3 consists of one‐dimensional polymeric chains, which are further connected into a 2‐D supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonds. In the binuclear complexes 1 and 2 , the ligand L serves as a bridge with the N and P as coordination atoms, but in the polymeric complex 3 , both bridging and chelating modes are adopted by the ligand. The spectroscopic properties of complexes 1 ‐ 3 as well as L have been investigated, in which complex 3 exhibits intense photoluminescence originating from intraligand charge transfer (ILCT) π→π* and metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer (MLCT) excited states both in acetonitrile solution and solid state, respectively.     

Reverse Phase HPLC For Rapid,Comprehensive Measurement of Nucleotides,Nucleosides and Bases of The Myocardial Adenine Pool

Abstract

A novel reverse phase HPLC method is described for the simultaneous measurement of adenosine tri-, di- and monophosphates (ATP, ADP, AMP), inosine monophosphate (IMP), adenosine, inosine, hypoxanthine, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and uric acid in cardiac tissues and coronary effluent.

Synthesis,Characterization, Crystal Structures,and Antibacterial Activity of Polynuclear Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Complexes with Similar Tridentate Schiff Bases

An end-on azido-bridged dinuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni₂(L¹)₂(μ_1,1-N₃)₂] · CH₃COOH (I) and an end-on azido-bridged polynuclear copper(II) complex [CuL²(μ_1,1-N₃)] _n , where L¹ is the deprotonated form of 2-[(2-ethylaminoethylimino)methyl]-4-fluorophenol and L2 is the deprotonated form of 2-[(2- dimethylaminoethylimino)methyl]-4-fluorophenol, were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and FT-IR spectra. Crystal and molecular structures of the complexes were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction method (CIF files CCDC nos. 942641 (I) and 942642 (II)). Single crystal X-ray structural studies indicate that the Schiff base ligands coordinate to the metal atoms through phenolate oxygen, imine nitrogen, and amine nitrogen. The Ni atoms in the nickel complex are in octahedral coordination, and the Cu atoms in the copper complex are in square pyramidal coordination. Crystals of the complexes are stabilized by hydrogen bonds. The Schiff bases and the complexes showed potent antibacterial activities.     

Highly Efficient Ruthenium‐Catalyzed N‐Formylation of Amines with H2 and CO2

A highly efficient catalyst system based on ruthenium‐pincer‐type complexes has been discovered for N‐formylation of various amines with CO₂ and H₂, thus affording the corresponding formamides with excellent productivity (turnover numbers of up to 1 940 000 in a single batch) and selectivity. Using a simple catalyst recycling protocol, the catalyst was reused for 12 runs in N,N‐dimethylformamide production without significant loss of activity, thus demonstrating the potential for practical utilization of this cost‐effective process. A one‐pot two‐step procedure for hydrogenation of CO₂ to methanol via the intermediacy of formamide formation has also been developed.     

Copper(II)-phenylmalonate complexes with the bifunctional ligands nicotinamide and isonicotinamide

The use as coligands of the nicotinamide (nia) and isonicotinamide (inia) molecules in the complex formation between copper(II) and phenylmalonate [Phmal = dianion of phenylmalonic acid] yielded the compounds of formula [Cu(inia)(Phmal)(H₂O)] (1) and [Cu(inia)(Phmal)(H₂O)]_n (2). Although single crystals of 1 of appropriate size were grown, their unresolved twinning and space group ambiguity prevented a satisfactory X-ray structure determination. The crystal structure 2 consists of corrugated layers of copper(II) ions with intralayer carboxylate-phenylmalonate bridges in the anti-syn (equatorial-apical) coordination mode. A water molecule and the isonicotinamide group are coordinated to the copper atom in trans position being located above and below each layer. The Phmal ligand adopts the bidentate/monodentate coordination mode with the bidentate coordination involving one equatorial and one apical bonds, a feature which is unprecedented for the copper(II) complexes with alkyl(aryl)substituted-malonate derivatives. Intra- and interlayer H-bonds together with intralayer π-π type interactions between the phenyl and inia aromatic groups contribute to the stabilization of the three-dimensional supramolecular structure. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of complexes 1 and 2 in the temperature range 1.9-300 K are quasi identical and they correspond to a very weak ferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) ions [J = +0.091(2) cm⁻¹ (1) and +0.097(2) cm⁻¹ (2) through the spin Hamiltonian for an isotropic square grid of interacting spin doublets which is defined as H = −JΣ_iS_i · S_i+1]. The strong similarity in the magnetic properties of 1 and 2 allow us to conclude that although they are not isostructural species, their structures have to be very close.
