Synthesis,structures, and insulin-like activity of oxidovanadium(V) complexes derived from 2-chloro-N′-(3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide

Three new oxidovanadium(V) complexes, [VOLL′] (L = 2-chloro-N′-(3-ethoxy-2hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide, L′ = acetohydroxamate for 1, methylmaltolate for 2, and ethylmaltolate for 3), have been prepared. The complexes have been characterized by physicochemical methods and single-crystal X-ray determination. Vanadium in each complex is coordinated by the NOO donor set of L, the OO donor set of L′, and one oxido, forming octahedral coordination. The complexes were administered intragastrically to both normal and alloxan-diabetic mice for two weeks. The biological activities show that the complexes at doses of 10.0 and 20.0 mg V·kg^?1 can significantly decrease the blood glucose level in alloxan-diabetic mice, but the blood glucose level in the treated normal mice was not altered.

Spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum(V) by extraction of its 2-(2′-furyl)-3-hydroxychromone complex

A simple method is described for the rapid spectrophotometric determination of molybedenum in synthetic and industrial samples containing 0.1-5% Mo. Molybdenum is reduced with ascorbic acid at room temperature in 1 mol dm^–3 H₂SO₄ and extracted with chloroform after adding 2-(2-furyl)-3-hydroxychromone (FHC). The yellow colour of the 1 2 Mo-FHC complex is measured at 414 nm against a reagent blank. Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0-2.7 g Mo cm^–3 of solvent phase. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity are 5.18 × 10⁴ dm³ mol^–1 cm^–1 and 0.0018 g Mo cm^–2, respectively. Relative standard deviations are 0.2% for solutions and 0.5–1.5% for solid samples. Interference from tungsten and tin is removed by adding citrate and EDTA, respectively, while niobium and tantalum are masked by fluoride. Many elements such as V, Fe, Ti, U, Mn, Cr, Co, Ni, Re, Ru, Pt, Rh, Se, Au, Bi, Zr, Th, Ce, As and Al do not interfere even in large amounts, but antimony always interferes. Among the anions and complexing agents, only thiocyanate interferes seriously.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,and catalytic property of oxovanadium(V) complex derived from N′-(2-hydroxynaphthylidene)-4-chlorobenzohydrazide and 1,10-phenanthroline

A new oxovanadium(V) complex, [VO(L)(Phen)], where L is the dianionic form of N′-(2-hydroxynaphthylidene)-4-chlorobenzohydrazide, Phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, and single crystal X-ray determination. The crystal of the complex is monoclinic: space group P2₁/c, a = 11.2376(8), b = 13.3068(10), c = 17.5593(11) Å, β = 106.806(2)°, V = 2513.6(3) ų, Z = 4.

The complex is a good catalyst for the oxidation of thioanisole to the corresponding sulfoxide by cumene hydroperoxide.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and photophysical properties of dibromo-2-(2′-pyridyl)imidazole and its corresponding boron–fluorine complex

2-(2′-Pyridyl)imidazole L1 and its corresponding boron–fluorine complex, 1, were synthesized and their crystal structures correlated with their photophysical properties. L1 forms a rigid supramolecular network through hydrogen bonds and halogen bond in the single crystal, which induces amplified spontaneous emission in crystals; it emits rather poor fluorescence in solution and powder states. Its boron chelate 1 emits intense fluorescence in solution since boron chelate is an excellent chromophore, and it exhibits large Stokes shift (136?nm in acetonitrile), due to the charge-transfer transition from the electron-donating π system to the electron-accepting boron moiety. Interestingly, 1 is also highly fluorescent in amorphous powder and crystal states; C–C rotation between pyridyl and imidazole groups is inhibited by the formation of a five-member ring containing BF₂, and the formation of intermolecular non-covalent bonds is the key factor. Solid emission with large Stokes shift makes it a valuable chromophore for synthesis of functional materials.

Synthesis,characterization and in vitro antitumor behavior of a vanadium(V) complex with 4′-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′2″-terpyridine

A dioxovanadium(V) complex, [VO₂(moptpy)](ClO₄) (1, moptpy = 4′-(3-methoxyphenyl)2,2′:6′2″-terpyridine), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ESI-MS, UV–vis, IR, and ¹H, ¹³C, and ⁵¹V NMR. The cytotoxicity in vitro of 1 was evaluated against cancer cell lines HepG-2 (hepatocellular carcinoma), SGC-7901 (gastric carcinoma), SiHa (cervical cancer), BEL-7402 (hepatocellular), and rat PC-12 (pheochromocytoma) by the MTT method. The results demonstrated that 1 exhibits superior anticancer activity in vitro with much lower values of 50% inhibitive concentration (IC₅₀) against the selected cell lines than cisplatin, and 1 shows the highest cytotoxic activity toward SGC-7901 cells (IC₅₀ = 1.3 ± 0.1 μM) among the selected cell lines. A series of cellular morphological and staining experiments were carried out, and the results indicated that 1 can effectively induce apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells through a ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathway. In addition, cellular incorporation and cell cycle analysis were also performed, and it was concluded from the experimental observations that 1 can efficiently enter into the cell nuclei, and the complex inhibits cell growth in SGC-7901 cell at G0/G1 phase.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and selected properties of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with in situ formed 2-hydroxy-N′-(propan-2-ylidene)benzohydrazide

Cu(C₁₀H₁₁O₂N₂)₂ (1) and [Zn(C₁₀H₁₂O₂N₂)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ (2) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR spectra, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Both complexes show distorted octahedral geometry. In 1, Cu(II) is coordinated by four oxygen atoms from four ligands and two nitrogen atoms from two ligands. In 2, Zn(II) is coordinated by two oxygen atoms and two nitrogen atoms from two ligands, and two water molecules. The crystal structures suggest that original ligand o-carboxybenzaldehyde salicyloylhydrazone (C₁₅H₁₂O₄N₂) changed into acetone salicyloylhydrazone (C₁₀H₁₂O₂N₂). The TG-DTG curves of these complexes indicate two different decomposition processes. 1 and 2 display catalytic activities to decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Interaction between the complexes and DNA studied by UV-Vis titration shows the insert interaction.

A new hydrazone 4-bromo-N′-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide (HL) was prepared and characterized by infrared and UV–vis spectra, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. With the hydrazone as ligand, two new copper(II) complexes were prepared, [Cu₂L₂(NCS)₂]·4H₂O (1) and [CuBrL]·CH₃OH (2). The complexes were characterized by infrared and UV–vis spectra, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Cu in 1 is in a square pyramidal coordination geometry and that in 2 is in a square planar coordination geometry. The two complexes show effective Jack bean urease inhibitory activity, with IC₅₀ values of 23.5 and 2.7 μM, respectively. A molecular docking study of 2 with the urease was performed. The relationship between the structure and urease inhibitory activity indicated that copper complex with square planar coordination is a better model for urease inhibition.

Crystal and molecular structures of (3Z)-(±)-4-(2′-hydroxypropyl)amino-and (3Z)-4-(2′-hydroxyethyl)amino-pent-3-en-2-ones

An X-ray study of (3Z)-(±)-4-(2′-hydroxypropyl)amino-and (3Z)-4-(2′-hydroxyethyl)amino-pent-3-en-2-ones is reported. The bond lengths inside the H ring are equalized due to the classical N-H...O hydrogen bond between the carbonyl oxygen and the amino group. In the 4-(2′-hydroxyethyl)amino-pent-3-en-2-one crystal, due to the classical N-H...O bonds, infinite zigzag chains are formed along the 0b axis and arranged into a layered structure due to the weak C-H...O interactions. In (±)-4-(2′-hydroxypropyl)aminopent-3-en-2-one crystal, however, centrosymmetric dimers are formed, which are then linked by weak C-H...O intermolecular interactions to form a layered structure along the a0b plane.
