Synthesis, Characterization, Antioxidant Activity and DNA-Binding Studies of Three Rare Earth (III) Complexes with 1-(4-Aminoantipyrine)-3-tosylurea Ligand

1-(4-Aminoantipyrine)-3-tosylurea (H₂L) and its three lanthanide (III) complexes, M(H₂L)₃ 3NO₃ [where M = Nd(III), Sm(III) and Eu(III)], have been synthesized and characterized. In addition, the DNA-binding properties of the three complexes have been investigated by UV–vis (ultraviolet and visible) absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and viscosity measurements. Results suggest that the three complexes bind to DNA via a groove binding mode. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity (superoxide and hydroxyl radical) of the metal complexes was determined by using spectrophotometer methods in vitro. These complexes were found to possess potent antioxidant activity and be better than standard antioxidants like vitamin C and mannitol.

Synthesis,Characterization, and Antibacterial Activity of RE(III) Complexes with L-Isoleucine and 1,10-Phenanthroline

Six new ternary rare-earth (La, Eu, Sm, Nd, Y, Yb) complexes with L-isoleucine and 1,10-phenanthroline have been synthesized. Their compositions were characterized as RE(Ile)₃PhenCl₃ · 4H₂O (RE = La, Eu, Sm, Nd, Y, Yb; Ile = L-isoleucine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) by elemental analysis, EDTA titration, molar conductance measurement, UV spectra, FT-IR spectra, and TG-DTA. The average diameters of growth inhibition area and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the complexes were studied by disc diffusion method and dilution method in nutrient broth. The results showed that the ternary rare-earth complexes strongly exhibited the antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and that their antibacterial effects were better than those of rare-earth chlorides, L-isoleucine, and 1,10-phenanthroline.

The results suggest that complexes bind to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) through intercalation. When irradiated at 365 nm, the complexes promote the photocleavage of pBR322 DNA, and complex 1 cleaves DNA more effectively than 2, 3, 4 complexes under comparable experimental conditions. Furthermore, photocleavage studies reveal that singlet oxygen (¹O₂) plays a significant role in the photocleavage.

Two new La(III) and Sm(III) complexes with enrofloxacin (HER, 1-cyclopropyl-7-(4-ethyl-1-piperazinyl)-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinoline carboxylic acid, C(19)H(21)FN(3)O(3)), [La(2)(ER)(6)(H(2)O)(2)]·14H(2)O(1) and [Sm(2)(ER)(6)(H(2)O)(2)]·14H(2)O(2) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, TG-DTG and X-ray single crystal diffraction. Both of the complexes are triclinic system with space group Pī. The structure of the complexes show that each rare earth atom in both complexes was nine-coordinated. Two of the enrofloxacin ions acted as tridentate chelate and bridging ligands, while the others as bidentate chelate ligands. The binding reaction between the complexes and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by UV-vis absorption spectra and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicated that the two complexes had a quite strong ability to quench the fluorescence from BSA and the binding reaction was mainly a static quenching process. The binding constants K ( A )/(L·mol(-1)) were 1.46 × 10(5)(1) and 8.59 × 10(6)(2) and one binding site was formed. The synchronous spectroscopy suggested that tryptophan residues were placed in BSA. It was also found that the two complexes exhibited greater antimicrobial activity than enrofloxacin at given concentrations.

Some nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes of the type [Ni(L)(phen/bipy)]X (1a–6a) and [Zn(L) (phen/bipy)]X (1b–6b) (where L = 2-{(E)-[(4-trimethylsilylethynylphenyl)imino]methyl}-4-(4-nitro phenylethynyl)phenol; phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline, bipy = 2, 2´-bipyridine; X = ClO₄ ^?, BF₄ ^?, PF₆ ^?) have been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, FTIR, ¹H NMR and mass spectral studies. The molecular structure of L was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The electrochemical behaviour of the Ni(II) complexes indicate that the phen complexes appears at more positive potential as compared to those for bipy complexes, as a consequence of its strong π-acidic character. TGA was carried out to study the thermal behavior of the complexes. Room temperature luminescence is observed for all complexes corresponds to π → π* ILCT transition. The size of the counter anion and heterocyclic coligands phen and bipy shows marked effect on emission properties of the complexes.

Three symmetric ligands 7-methyl dipyrido-[3,2-a;2′,3′-c]phenazine (dppz-CH₃), 7-nitro dipyrido-[3,2-a;2′,3′-c]phenazine (dppz-NO₂) and benzo[i]dipyrido-[3,2-a;2′,3′-c]phenazine (dppn) and their ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(en)₂(L)][ClO₄]₂ (en= ethylenediamine), L= dppz-CH₃, dppz-NO₂ and dppn have been synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR and Mass spectra. The interactions of these complexes with calf thymus DNA have been investigated by spectrophotometric, spectrofluorimetric, circular dichroism, viscosity and thermal denaturation studies. As the planar extension of the intercalative ligand increases, the interaction of the complex with DNA increases, indicating that the size and shape of the intercalalative ligand has a marked effect on the strength of interaction. The plot of log K versus log [Na⁺] yield a slope of -1.26, -1.53, -1.60 for the complexes 1, 2 and 3 respectively. These three complexes have been found to promote the cleavage of plasmid pBR 322 DNA upon irradiation.

Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Two Novel Lanthanide (III) Perchlorate Complexes with Bis(benzoylmethyl) Sulfoxide and Benzoic Acid

Two novel ternary rare earth complexes of Tb(III) and Dy(III) perchlorates with bis(benzoylmethyl) sulfoxide (L) and benzoic acid (L′) had been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, coordination titration analysis, molar conductivity, IR, TG-DSC, ¹HNMR and UV spectra. The results indicated that the composition of these complexes was REL₅L′(ClO₄)₂·nH₂O (RE= Tb(III), Dy(III); L=C₆H₅COCH₂SOCH₂COC₆H₅, L′=C₆H₅COO; n = 6,8). The fluorescence spectra illustrated that the ternary rare earth complexes presented stronger fluorescence intensities, longer lifetimes and higher fluorescence quantum efficiencies than the binary rare earth complexes REL₅·(ClO₄)₃·2H₂O. After the introduction of the second ligand benzoic acid group, the relative fluorescence emission intensities and fluorescence lifetimes of the ternary complexes REL₅L′(ClO₄)₂·nH₂O (RE= Tb(III), Dy(III)) enhanced more obviously than the binary complexes. This indicated that the presence of both organic ligands bis(benzoylmethyl) sulfoxide and the second ligand benzoic acid could sensitize fluorescence intensities of rare earth ions, and the introduction of benzoic acid group was resulted in the enhancement of the fluorescence properties of the ternary rare earth complexes. The phosphorescence spectra were also discussed.
