Photophysical investigation of neutral and diprotonated free-base bis(arylethynyl)porphyrins

The photophysical properties for a series of free-base arylethynyl porphyrins and the corresponding trans-disubstituted tetraphenylporphyrin (H(2)TPP) derivatives lacking arylethynyl functionalities have been studied via electronic absorption and emission spectroscopy in both neutral and diacid forms. Enhanced substituent effects on porphyrin absorption spectra are observed in the arylethynyl porphyrins relative to the H(2)TPP derivatives, owing to the presence of the ethynyl spacer that allows for a coplanar geometry between the porphyrin macrocycle and the appended phenyl substituents. Upon protonation, both series of porphyrins exhibit substantially red shifted absorption and emission spectra and enhanced oscillator strengths, with the magnitude of the spectral shifts being more substantial in the presence of the ethynyl functionalities. Spectral features of the arylethynyl porphyrin bearing p-dimethylamino substituents closely resemble those previously classified as "hyperporphyrin spectra" and are indicative of excited-state charge-transfer character. Protonation of both series of porphyrins results in reduced fluorescence lifetimes and enhanced nonradiative decay rates, and the impact of protonation on these parameters is attenuated in the presence of the arylethynyl functionalities. Our results coupled with previous structural data showing that arylethynyl porphyrins exhibit less structural distortion upon diacid formation relative to H(2)TPP further substantiate the proposal that significant alteration of porphyrin photophysical properties upon diacid formation can be attributed to nonplanar structural distortions induced by protonation.     

Synthesis and catalytic properties of a series of cobalt porphyrins as cytochrome P450 model: the effect of substituents on the catalytic activity

A series of cobalt porphyrins derived from hemin was prepared as cytochrome P450 models. Effects of substituents at the cobalt deuteroporphyrin-propionate side chains are investigated in oxidation of toluene with air to benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol without the use of solvent and sacrificial co-reductant. The catalytic activity of cobalt porphyrins depends on the type of substituents. When the electron-withdrawing groups like –Cl, –Br, were introduced into the double propionate side chains, they can increase the catalyst stability and selectivity to benzaldehyde. In comparison with these electron-withdrawing groups, the electron-donor groups, such as –CH₃, –S–S– and –NH₂ groups, can improve their catalytic activities. Moreover, the electron-donor group containing an unpaired electron (such as –S–S–, –NH₂) is benefit for improving its catalytic efficiency and promoting the electron delivery. It can be concluded that the double propionate side chains in the deuteroporphyrin complex may participate in oxidation process and effect electron transfer from the high-valent metalloporphyrin species to the substrate.     

Cationic porphyrins are reversible proteasome inhibitors

The aim of this study is to verify if water-soluble porphyrins can be used as proteasome inhibitors. We have found that cationic porphyrins inhibit proteasome peptidase activities much more effectively than the corresponding anionic derivatives. The relevance of electrostatics in driving porphyin-proteasome interactions has been confirmed by the observation that the inhibitory efficiency of the cationic macrocycles decreases with the number of positive substituents. We have also investigated various metalloporphyrins, which differ due to the different propension of the central metal ion toward axial coordination. Our experimental results indicate that the naked cationic porphyrins are the most active in reversibly inhibiting the three main protease activities of the proteasome in the micromolar range. A spectroscopic characterization of porphyrin-proteasome interactions by UV-vis spectra parallels the results of inhibition assays: the higher the inhibitory effect the stronger the spectroscopic variations are. To interpret the action of porphyrins at a molecular level, we have performed calculations evidencing that cationic porphyrins may hinder the access to the canonical proteolytic site on the proteasome β5 subunit. In particular, an inspection of the top-scoring docking modes shows that the tetracationic porphyrin blocks the catalytic pocket, close to the N termini of the β5 proteasome subunit, more efficiently than its anionic counterpart. Proteasome inhibition activity of porphyrins unites their known anticancer properties making them suitable as a scaffold for the design of novel multitargeted molecules.     

One-pot synthesis of nickel porphyrins with 2-pyridine-acetyl substituents: the unexpected Sonogashira cross-coupling products

Nickel porphyrins with 2-pyridine-acetyl substituents were synthesized in one step by the Sonogashira cross-coupling method. The structures of the products were determined by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, UV-Vis, and X-ray spectroscopic techniques. It is suggested that cross-coupling bromonated nickel porphyrins with 2-pyridine-ethyne first yielded nickel porphyrins with 2-pyridine-ethynyl substituents, followed by in situ hydrolysis to the final products, nickel porphyrins with 2-pyridine-acetyl substituents.     

Structural and photophysical studies of trans-AB(2)C-substituted porphyrin ligands and their zinc and copper complexes

trans-AB(2)C porphyrins with A = C(6)H(4)-COOR, C = C(6)H(4)-NX(2) and B = C(6)H(5) (R = CH(3), H; X = O, H) have been synthesised by a rational high-yield procedure (1a-1d) and their zinc(ii) and copper(ii) complexes have been prepared (2a-2d, 3a-3d ).1a, 2a .THF and 3a display different distortions of the porphyrin core as shown by single crystal X-ray crystallography and NSD analyses. The Soret and Q bands of free-base and metalated porphyrins with mixed electron donating and withdrawing substituents (NH(2)/COOR) are red-shifted as are the corresponding emission bands of free-base and zinc porphyrins. The electronic asymmetry revealed by spectrocopy is rationalised by DFT calculations.     

Synthesis and G-quadruplex binding studies of new 4-N-methylpyridinium porphyrins

A series of cationic porphyrins carrying 1-3 meso-N-pyridinium groups has been synthesised, and their binding to G-quadruplex DNA has been explored by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Two trans substituents appear to be sufficient for tight binding; preferential binding to the anti-parallel intramolecular human telomeric DNA was observed for the A2trans and A3 porphyrins. The A2trans is able to induce the formation of an anti-parallel G-quadruplex in a K+ free solution, mimicking the effect of a molecular chaperone.     

Complexes of aryl-substituted porphyrins and naphthalenediimide (NDI): investigations by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy

New donor-acceptor hybrids of Zn(II)-metallated 5,15-diaryl porphyrins have been designed and synthesised via the porphyrin interactions with an electron acceptor molecule, di-n-hexyl N-substituted 1,2,4,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic diimide (NDI). Binding interactions within these supramolecular complexes were investigated in the solid state by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and probed in solution by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The systematic modulation of the porphyrin π-density was achieved, for the first time as multiple methoxy and fluorine groups were introduced as substituents to the 5,15-diaryls of the porphyrin. For these, the variation of the porphyrin-NDI binding strengths determined by (1)H NMR titrations was shown, using the Swain's type dual parameter approach, to be closely linked with the peripheral substitution pattern of the diaryl porphyrins validated by crystallography. The new 1:1 donor-acceptor complexes formed display characteristic features of the aromatic-stacked systems, i.e. the parallel arrangement and short interplanar separation between the substituted porphyrin and NDI. Synthetic modification of electron-density on the porphyrin surface by introducing substituents at peripheral sites of functionalised porphyrins represent a general solution towards electronically tunable aromatic surfaces: an understanding of their solution and solid state behaviour will significantly improve the rational design of new functional donor-acceptor supramolecular materials with potential applications ranging from new energy materials to dye-sensitised solar cells, photovoltaics and future drug delivery devices.     

Synthesis, characterization, and antioxidant activity of some ebselen analogues

Simple synthetic routes for several analogues of the anti-inflammatory organoselenium drug, ebselen, are described. The compounds are characterized by (1)H, (13)C, and (77)Se NMR spectroscopy and mass spectral techniques and, in some cases, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like antioxidant activity has been studied by using H(2)O(2), tBuOOH, and Cum-OOH as substrates, and thiophenol (PhSH, 4-Me-C(6)H(4)SH) and glutathione (GSH) as cosubstrates. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on these systems to understand the effects of various substituents on the (77)Se NMR chemical shifts; these results have been compared with the experimental data. The experimental and theoretical results suggest that the presence of a phenyl substituent on the nitrogen atom is important for the antioxidant activity of ebselen. While ebselen and its analogues are poor catalysts in aromatic thiol assays, these compounds exhibit high GPx activity when GSH is used as the cosubstrate. The poor catalytic activity of ebselen analogues in the presence of aromatic thiols such as PhSH and 4-Me-C(6)H(4)SH can be ascribed to the undesired thiol exchange reaction that takes place at the selenium center due to SeO nonbonding interactions. To understand the effects of different peroxides on the catalytic activities, we have determined the initial rates at various concentrations of GSH and peroxides. These data suggest that the nature of peroxide has little effect on the catalytic efficiencies, although the initial reaction rates observed with hydrogen peroxide were found to be higher than that with tBuOOH and Cum-OOH. In contrast to the effect of peroxides, the nature of thiols appears to have a dramatic effect on the catalytic activity of ebselen and its related derivatives.     

Synthesis, characterization and structures of 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)ethylseleno derivatives and their probable glutathione peroxidase (GPx) like activity

A series of 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)ethylseleno derivatives has been synthesized. The glutathione peroxidase like catalytic activity of these compounds has been studied in a model system, in which reduction of hydrogen peroxide with dithiothreitol (DTT(red)), in the presence of an organoselenium compound was investigated by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. All these compounds exhibit GPx like catalytic activities and the catalytic reaction proceeds through a selenoxide intermediate, identified by (77)Se{(1)H} NMR spectroscopy.
