A new mixed-ligand coordination polymer based on V-shape carboxylate and pyridinyl co-linkers: Crystal structure,molecular docking,and antibladder cancer activity evolution

By applying the mixed-ligand approach, a new Cu(II)-containing coordination polymer [Cu₄(L)₄(4,4′-bpy)(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O ( 1 ) was successfully prepared through hydrothermal method using linear 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) and the V-shape carboxylate ligand 4,4′-(phenylazanediyl)dibenzoic acid (H₂L). The as-prepared complex 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and elemental analysis. Furthermore, we use the grinding method to prepare the samples of complex 1 in the nanoscale. In this research, the CCK-8 was performed first to detect the inhibitory activity of complex 1 on J82 bladder cancer cell viability. The apoptotic effect of complex 1 on J82 cancer cells was evaluated by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also detected by detection kit in this study after complex 1 treatment. Beyond the experimental results, the molecular docking technique has been used to probe the anticancer activity that originated at the molecular level.     

Crystal structure and protective effect in osteoarthritis of Co(II)-mediated pyridinium-bearing coordination polymer

Abstract

By using a mixed-ligand approach, a new Co(II)-mediated pyridinium-bearing coordination polymer, {[Co(BCbpe)(ipa)]·3H₂O}_n (1), has been prepared by reaction of Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O) and isophthalic acid (H₂ipa) in the presence of pyridinium chloride 1-(4-carboxybenzyl)4-[2-(4-pyridyl)-vinyl] (HBCbpeCl) in EtOH/H₂O (V:V?=?1:1). Furthermore, a green hand grinding technique has been implemented to reduce the particle size of 1 to generate nanosheets of 1 with good water dispersivity. The post-traumatic osteoarthritis (OA) model was constructed and the in vivo protective effect of nano 1 was evaluated. First, the inflammatory level of OA rats was measured by ELISA detection. Second, for further detection, the real-time RT-PCR was carried out to measure the relative expression of caspase-1, nlrp3 as well as il-1β inflammatory factors. Finally, molecular docking analysis of the complex indicated that all of the proposed drug candidates showed desirable drug-like criteria.     

Treatment activity of a mixed-ligand coordination polymer on gastric carcinoma

Reaction of 4,4′,4″-nitrilotribenzoic acid (H₃L), a C₃-symmetric ligand, with the divalent Co(II) salt Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O in the present of the N-donor ligand 1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene (DPE) affords a new mixed-ligand coordination polymer with the chemical formula of [Co₃(TNB)(DPE)₂]·2H₂O·DMF (1). In this study, CCK-8 assay was used to determine the effect of novel compound on proliferation of gastric cancer cells. The VEGF signaling pathway in gastric cancer cells was determined through employing real-time PCR after treatment of the above complex. Further, molecular docking simulation confirmed that the biological activity was coming from the carboxyl groups through the hydrogen bonding interactions with the receptor protein, the pyridine group only bonded with the Co ion for the formation of the Co complex.

Crystal structure,spectroscopic characterization,DFT computations and molecular docking study of a synthesized Zn(II) complex

The Zn(II) complex, dichloro[N-hydroxy-1,1-di(2-pyridinyl)methanimine]zinc(II), was synthesized from the reaction between ZnCl₂ and di-2-pyridylketone oxime. The structural and spectral characterizations were performed by using single crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, Laser-Raman, NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopic techniques. To support experimental evidences, computational results were obtained with the DFT/B3LYP method using the 6-311++G(d,p)+LanL2DZ mixed basis set. Theoretical analyses of some structural and spectroscopic results of effects of intermolecular Cl···H interactions in the crystal packing of the Zn(II) complex were investigated with the mentioned computational level. The non-bonding interactions in the experimental crystal packing of the complex were examined by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The HOMO and LUMO analyses were used for investigation of electronic transitions obtained with UV–Vis spectroscopy. NBO analyses were used to investigate the hyperconjugation interactions between donor and acceptor groups, coordination environment, electronic configuration and electron numbers of the Zn(II) metal ion and the natural atomic charges of the complex. The nucleophilic and electrophilic reactive sites of the complex were studied by MEP surface analysis. The static polarizabilities (α) and static hyperpolarizabilities (β) were analyzed theoretically to characterize NLO profile of the complex. The interaction with A-DNA (PDB ID: 1ZF6) of the Zn(II) complex was investigated with a molecular docking study.     

Theoretical investigation of the molecular structure,vibrational spectra,and molecular docking of tramadol using density functional theory

The optimized molecular structures, harmonic vibrational wavenumbers, and the corresponding vibrational assignments of (1S,2S)-tramadol and (1R,2R)-tramadol are computationally examined using the B3LYP density functional theory method together with the standard 6–311++G(d,p) and def2-TVZP basis sets. The optimized structures show that phenolic rings of both 1R,2R and 1S,2S tramadol adopt planar geometry, which are slightly distorted due to the substitution at the meta-position; and the six-membered cyclohexane adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation. The 1S,2S enantiomer is energetically more favorable than 1R,2R with the energy differences of 1.32 and 1.03 kcal/mol obtained at B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p) and B3LYP/Def2-TVZP levels, respectively. The analysis of the binding pocket in the silico molecular docking with the m-opioid receptor shows that it originated two clusters with the 1S,2S enantiomer and one cluster with the 1R,2R enantiomer of tramadol. The results point to a more stable complex of the m-opioid receptor with the 1R,2R enantiomer of tramadol.

Assembly of orotic acid (H₃Or, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic) and Cd(NO₃)·6H₂O yielded a coordination polymer, [(Cd(Hor)·2.5H₂O)₂]_n (1), which has been characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, TGA, and ?uorescence spectra. Single-crystal X-ray structural analyses reveal that 1 is a hydrogen-bonded binuclear Cd-orotate coordination polymer in which both Cd²⁺ ions have different coordination environments with identical distorted octahedral geometry. Crystal data for 1: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 7.0209(10) Å, b = 13.974(2) Å, c = 17.541(3) Å, β = 98.842(2)°, V = 1700.5(4) Å, Z = 4, R1 = 0.0269, wR2 = 0.0612, θ_max = 25.960. The emission spectrum of the Cd-complex recorded with 265 nm excitation wavelength reveals the complex has strong blue luminescence with the peak maximum 420 nm (2.95 eV) as a result of the n–π* and π–π* transitions on the H₃Or ligand.

Transition metal complexes of nano bidentate organometallic Schiff base: Preparation,structure characterization,biological activity,DFT and molecular docking studies

An organometallic NO‐bidentate Schiff base, (2‐(1‐((1‐carboxyethyl)imino)ethyl) cyclopenta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐yl)(cyclopenta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐yl) iron (HL) was synthesized by condensation of 2‐acetylferrocene with amino acid alanine. Then its octahedral Cr (III), Mn (II), Fe (III), Co (II), Ni (II), Cu (II), Zn (II) and Cd (II) complexes were synthesized. All compounds were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis (C, H, N and M), molar conductivity, FT‐IR, UV–Vis, ¹H‐NMR, SEM, mass analysis and thermal studies. Furthermore, computational studies of HL ligand have been carried out by DFT/B3LYP method. HOMO and LUMO energy values, chemical hardness‐softness, electronegativity, electrophilic index and other parameters were calculated. SEM micrographs of HL ligand and its [Cd (HL)(H₂O)₂Cl₂].2H₂O complex, showed that they were prepared in nano‐structure forms with particle size 54 and 41 nm, respectively. Antifungal and antibacterial activities of HL ligand and its metal complexes have been screened in vitro against different species such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Candida albicans, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anticancer activities against breast cancer cell line (MCF‐7) and normal melanocytes cell line (HFB‐4). It was found that [Co (HL)(H₂O)₂Cl₂].3H₂O complex had the lowest IC₅₀ value (10.9 μg/ml) and hence was the most active one. Finally, the optimized structures of the Schiff base and its Co (II) complex have been used to accomplish molecular docking studies with receptors of 3HB5, 3MIW, 5IBV and 4WM8 to determine the most preferred mode of interaction.     

Polymer complexes. LXXVI. Synthesis,characterization, CT‐DNA binding,molecular docking and thermal studies of sulfoxine polymer complexes

Novel polymer complexes of 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐5‐sulfonic acid hydrate ( H ₂ L ) with Cu²⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ chloride were prepared and characterized. Microanalysis, magnetic susceptibility, IR spectra, electron spin resonance, mass spectra, X‐ray, molar conductance, thermal, and UV–Vis spectra studies have been used to confirm the structure of the prepared polymer complexes. The molecular and electronic structures of the hydrogen bond conformers for ligand ( H ₂ L ) were optimized theoretically and the quantum chemical parameters were calculated. On the basis of elemental and IR data, the chemical structure of metal chelates commensurate that the tri‐dentate (H₂L) coordinate to metal chlorides through oxygen atom of phenolic OH and oxygen atom of SO₃‐H group by replacing H atoms and nitrogen of the quinoline ring. The magnetic studies suggested the octahedral geometrical structure for all produced polymer complexes with general formula {[ML (OH₂)₃] .xH₂O}_n (M = Cu²⁺, x = 1.; Co²⁺, x = 2 and Ni²⁺, x = 2) in molar ratio (1:1). Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger methods have been used for calculating the activation thermodynamic parameters of the thermal decomposition for H ₂ L and its polymer complexes. The interaction between H ₂ L and its transition metal complexes with the calf thymus DNA (CT‐DNA) was determined by UV–Vis spectra. Binding efficiency between H ₂ L with the receptors of the prostate cancer (PDB code 2Q7L Hormone) and the breast cancer (PDB code 1JNX Gene regulation) was studied by molecular docking. The inhibition behaviour of H ₂ L against the corrosion of carbon steel / HCl (2 M) solution was studied by weight loss, Tafel polarisation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM) techniques. The adsorption isotherm was found to be Friendlish isotherm. The morphology of inhibited carbon steel? s surface was studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS).

Abstract

A series of aroyl selenourea dibenzosuberene (1–3) derivatives were synthesized and characterized by different analytical methods and single crystal X-ray crystallography. Quantum chemical computations were made using DFT to determine the structural and molecular properties of the compounds. The in vitro antibacterial action of the compounds was evaluated against chosen gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli), and gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis) bacteria for their antifungal activity against Curvularia lunata, Penicillium notatum, and Aspergillus niger. Using molecular docking studies, the binding modes were understood along with the mechanism in opposing the target protein MurB.     

A SHG-active manganese coordination polymer with noncentrosymmetric structure based on achiral carboxyphosphinate ligand

The hydrothermal reaction of MnSO₄ with the achiral 2-carboxyethyl(phenyl)phosphinate ligand (H₂L) afforded a 2?D coordination polymer manganese phosphinate, [Mn(HL)₂]_n (1) (H₂L?=?2-carboxyethyl(phenyl) phosphinic acid). It contains two types of dimeric ring motifs, which can generate a layer structure through edge-sharing. The interlayer stacking by C-H…π interactions between the C-H groups of the phenyl rings of HL^- and the phenyl rings of the adjacent layers results in its crystallization in a noncentrosymmetric crystal structure with (4³)₂(4⁶·6⁶·8³) topology. Compound 1 shows a second harmonic generation response that is 0.8 times that of urea. The luminescence spectrum indicates an emission maximum at 457?nm, attributed to an intra-ligand emission state.
