Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Strong influence of the guest on the host structure in channel-type isostructural inclusion complexes of gossypol

The crystal structures of 1 : 1 inclusion complexes of gossypol with tetrahydrofuran (GPTHF), cyclohexanone (GPCHN) and butanal (GPBTA) have been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of GPTHF are triclinic, space group P,a = 10.788(2),b = 10.979(3),c = 13,880(2) Å, = 80. 11(2), = 103.87(1), = 77.96(2)°,V = 1517.8(6) ų,Z = 2,R = 0.052 for 2701 observed reflections. The crystals of GPCHN are triclinic, space groups P,a = 10.803(4),b = 11.157(5),c = 15.428(6) Å, = 108.75(3), = 106.93(3), = 103.34(3)°,V = 1573(1) ų,Z = 2,R = 0.071 for 1879 observed reflections. The crystals of GPBTA are triclinic, space group P,a = 10.190(2),b = 11.335(1),c = 14.665(2) Å, = 73.04(1), = 103.74(1), = 81.07(1)°,V = 1529.9(5) ų,Z = 2,R = 0.068 for 2964 observed reflections. Crystal data for another 13 isostructural inclusion complexes are given.[/p]In this isostructural group of complexes guest molecules are accommodated in channels and are hydrogen bonded to the host molecules via an 0(1)-H....O(1) hydrogen bond. The molecular association changes significantly with the shape and size of the guest component. In GPTHF centrosymmetric dimers of gossypol formedvia O(5)-H...O(3) hydrogen bonds are associated in columns via a weak O(4)-H...O(8) hydrogen bond. In GPCHN the latter bond disappears as the distance O(4)-O(8) is increased to 3.73 Å. In GPBTA the O(5)-H...O(3) bond is replaced by three centre hydrogen bonds O(5)-H...O(2) and O(3)-H...O(5), and a centrosymmetric dimer of a new type is formed. These dimers are further connected by two weak hydrogen bonds to form columns. The butanal molecule interacts with the host structure via two hydrogen bonds. This indicates that a guest component can activate or deactivate different functional groups of the host in channel inclusion complexes of gossypol for hydrogen bond formation.     

Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Crystal structure of the 2:1 complex of gossypol withm-Xylene

The crystal structure of a 2: 1 inclusion complex of gossypol withm-xylene has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of C₃₀H₃₀O₈·0.5C₈ H₁₀ are triclinic, space groupPl^–,a = 8.478(1),b = 14.087(2),c = 14.411(2) Å, = 115,39(1), = 75.11(1), = 86.80(1)°,V = 1475.2(4) ų,Z = 2,D _x = 1.29 g cm^–3,T = 295 K, (CuK ) = 7.01 cm^–1. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to the finalR value of 0.079 for 3910 observed reflections. The gossypol molecules are linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and form bimolecular layers parallel to the ab plane. Disorderedm-xylene molecules occupy cavities between these layers. All polar groups of the gossypol molecule are packed in the interior of the bilayer while non-polar groups are directed outwards. An analysis of the crystal packing of other inclusion complexes of gossypol shows that such bilayers are formed in four complexes and three of those structures are generically related to each other.Deceased.     

Synthesis of (bis-Dimethylaminoethylimino)gossypol and Its Associate with Polyvinylpyrrolidone and Their Effect on Protein Biosynthesis in Rat Liver with Acute Hepatitis

(Bis-dimethylaminoethylimino)gossypol and its associate with PVPwere synthesized. Their effects on in vitro and in vivo synthesis of cytoplasmic proteins in rats with acute heliotrinic hepatitis were studied. It was found that heliotrine intoxication substantially suppresses the incorporation of labeled amino acids into cytoplasmic proteins. Administration of gossypol derivativesrestored markedly the activity of the hepatocytic protein-synthesizing system.     

Sorption of Ammonia, Methylamine and Methanol by the P3 Polymorph of Gossypol. Synthesis of Unsymmetrical Monoamine Derivatives of Gossypol by a Solid-state Reaction

The P3 polymorph of gossypol has wide, empty channels andstrongly absorbs linear amines. One of the two gossypol aldehydegroups is located near the channel wall. This situation allowsreaction of the amines with half of a gossypol molecule,yielding unsymmetric monoaminoderivatives of gossypol in highyield and by a simple, solid-state method.     

Azo-Derivatives of Gossypol and Its Imines

Azo-coupling of diazotized aromatic amines with gossypol and gossypolimines was studied. The physicochemical properties and interferon-inducing activity of the products were determined. It was found that the interferon-inducing activity depended on the reaction type, the position of functional groups (o-, m-, p-) in the added substituents, and the dose and contact time of the compounds with the cells.

Inclusion compounds of (±) gossypol. Structure of the gossypol-n-valeric acid (1/2) coordinato-clathrate

The crystal structure of the inclusion compound of gossypol withn-valeric acid as a guest molecule has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of C₃₀H₃₀O₈·(C₅H₁₀O₂)₂, are triclinic, space group ,a=6.912(2),b=14.506(3),c=19.387(4) Å, =78.85(2)°, =83.92(3)°, =86.78(3)°V=1895(1) ų,Z=2,D _x=1.267 g cm^–3, (CuK )=0.768 mm^–1,T=292 K. The structure has been solved by direct methods on intensity data collected for a twinned crystal and refined to the finalR value of 0.062 for 1606 observed reflections and 470 refined parameters.Gossypol-n-valeric acid (1/2) coordinato-clathrate is not isostructural with any of the previously investigated gossypol inclusion compounds but shows some structural similarities to gossypol-acetic acid (1/1). The host and one of the carboxylic acid molecules are connected via hydrogen bonds into molecular assemblies of a column type which are further bonded to centrosymmetric dimers of the secondn-valeric acid molecule. In effect, host and guest molecules are assembled into layer-type H-bonded aggregates. Structural features common to gossypol-n-valeric acid (1/2) and other earlier reported gossypol inclusion compounds are discussed.Supplementary Data relevant to this article have been deposited with the British Library under the number SUP 82194 (9 pages)     

Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Crystal structure of the 1 : 1 complex of gossypol with isovaleric acid

The crystal structure of the 1 : 1 lattice inclusion complex of gossypol with isovaleric acid has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of C₃₀H₃₀O₈C₅H₁₀O₂ are monoclinic, space groupC2/c,a=28.835(7),b=9.063(2),c=26.880(4)Å, =109.66(1)°,V=6615(2) ų,Z=8,D _x = 1.25 g cm^–3, (CuK) = 7.14 cm^–1,T = 295 K. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined with isotropic thermal parameters to the finalR value of 0.132 for 1114 observed reflections. Hydrogen bonded gossypol molecules form columns along the [1 0 1] direction. These columns pack into layers parallel to the (101) plane. The layers of gossypol molecules are separated by the layers of isovaleric acid. The acid molecules are connectedvia a pair of O-H...O hydrogen bonds forming centrosymmetric dimers. There is no hydrogen bond interaction between the carboxylic acid dimers and gossypol molecules.     

Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Clathrate type inclusion complexes of gossypol with carbonyl group containing guests

The crystal structures of 2:1 inclusion complexes of gossypol with methyl propionate (GPMEP) and ethyl acetoacetate (GPEAA) have been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of GPMEP, C₃₀H₃₀O₈l/2 C₄H₈O₂, are monoclinic, space groupC2/c,a=11.079(3),b = 30.724(7), c = 16.515(5) Å, = 90.46(2)°,V = 5621(3) Å,Z = 8,D _x = 1.33 g cm^–3. The structure has been refined to the finalR value of 0.059 for 1899 observed reflections. The crystals of GPEAA, C₃₀H₃₀O₈l/2 C₆H₁₀O₃, are monoclinic, space groupC2/c,a=11.095(2),b=30.604(9),c = 16.955(5) Å, = 88.27(2)°,V = 5754(3) Å,Z = 8,D _x = 1.35 g cm^–3. The structure has been refined to the finalR value of 0.056 for 2502 observed reflections.In contrast to previously investigated inclusion complexes of gossypol the host molecules do not form centrosymmetric dimersvia hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structures the racemic gossypol is separated into enantiomers forming alternating bimolecular layers. Nearly perpendicular to these chiral bilayers run elongated cavities enclosed on each side by layers of opposite chirality. The surface of these layers is hydrophobic, the polar groups are hidden inside the layer. Guest molecules which are hydrogen bonded to the host are included in cylindrically shaped cavities. Possible hydrogen bonds between host and guest are analysed for this isostructural class of complexes.     

Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Crystal structures of gossypol complexes with benzene and chloroform as guests

The crystal structures of the lattice inclusion complexes of gossypol with benzene and chloroform have been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of (C₃₀H₃₀O₈)₂ · C₆H₆ (GPBNZ) are triclinic, space groupPI,a = 11.241(3),b = 14.986(4),c = 17.380(4) Å, = 98.89(2), = 99.86(2), = 98.91(2)°,V = 2800(2) ų,Z = 2,D _x = 1.32 g cm^–3, (CuK ) = 7.35 cm^–1. The structure has been refined to a finalR value of 0.050 for 6146 observed reflections. The crystals of C₃₀H₃₀O₈·CHCl₃ (GPCLF) are monoclinic, space groupC2/c,a = 28.464(4),b = 8.948(1),c = 26.480(4) Å, = 108.93(2)°,V = 6380(2) ų,Z = 8,D _x = 1.33 g cm^–3, (CuK) = 30.42 cm^–1. The structure has been refined to a finalR value of 0.100 for 1980 observed reflections.GPCLF forms an intercalate-type structure and GPBNZ a clathrate-type structure. There are, however, some similarities in the packing mode of the host molecules in these two structures. On a basis of comparison of the crystal packing of GPCLF and GPBNZ one can postulate that in the desorption process of the intercalate-type GPCLF complex an intermediate clathrate structure of the GPBNZ-type should be formed.     

Inclusion complexes of the natural product gossypol. Crystal structure of the 2:1 complex of gossypol with amyl acrylate

The crystal structure of the 2: 1 inclusion complex of gossypol with amyl acrylate has been determined by X-ray structure analysis. The crystals of (C₃₀H₃₀O₈)₂C₈H₁₄O₂ are triclinic, space group P ,a = 14.425(2),b = 15.519(1),c = 16.409(2) Å, =97.89(1), = 117.80(1), =67.01(1)° (reduced cell:a = 14.425(2),b = 15.519(2),c = 16.017(2)Å, = 92.19(1), = 115.01(l), =67.01(1)°],V = 2986.7(5) ų,Z = 2,D _x = 1.31 g cm^–3, (CuK ) = 7.40 cm^–1,T = 292 K. The structure has been solved by direct methods and refined to the final R value of 0.059 for 5155 observed reflections. The gossypol molecules bonded via several hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric tetramers. The two independent gossypol molecules, A and B, are related within the tetramer by a local noncrystallographic 2-fold axis. The host molecules in the crystal form cavities in which two guest molecules are placed. The ester molecule interacts via a pair of C-...H-O hydrogen bonds with two gossypol molecules of the same chirality and belonging to the same tetramer unit. The amyloxy group of the ester molecule shows a very large thermal motion. It adopts a non-extended conformation in which it can be fitted into the cavity formed by the host molecules.

A Simple Correlation between the Structures of Different Crystal Modifications of a Given Host–Guest Complex and their Crystallization Temperatures

The formation of different crystal modifications of a given host-guest complex depending on the crystallization temperature (pseudopolymorphism) is studied. It is shown that such pseudopolymorphism is a characteristic feature of versatile host compounds. A very important rule for host-guest chemistry is derived from the results of the X-ray structural investigations of pseudopolymorphs: the higher the crystallization temperature of the modification the more closed is the space occupied by guest molecules. On the basis of the formulated rule a recommendation for the topological control and solution of some central problems of supramolecular chemistry is proposed.

Cancer-Cell-Specific Drug Delivery by a Tumor-Homing CPP-Gossypol Conjugate Employing a Tracelessly Cleavable Linker

Tumor-targeted drug delivery is highly important for improving chemotherapy, as it reduces the dose of cytotoxic agents and minimizes the death of healthy tissues. Towards this goal, a conjugate was synthesized of gossypol and a MCF-7 cancer cell specific CPP (cell penetrating peptide), thus providing a selective drug delivery system. Utilizing the aldehyde moiety of gossypol, the tumor homing CPP RLYMRYYSPTTRRYG was attached through a semi-labile imine linker, which was cleaved in a traceless fashion under aqueous conditions and had a half-life of approximately 10 hours. The conjugate killed MCF-7 cells to a significantly greater extent than HeLa cells or healthy fibroblasts.     

Inclusion Complexes of Gossypol with 2-Pentanone, 3-Pentanone,and 2-Hexanone

Inclusion complexes of gossypol with 2-pentanone, 3-pentanone, and 2-hexanone were prepared by crystallization from the corresponding ketone and hexane, and their structures were determined by low-temperature X-ray diffraction. All three compounds crystallize in monoclinic systems and have a 2:1 gossypol-to-solvent molar ratio. Both gossypol–pentanone complexes crystallize in C2/c space groups, and the solvent cavities in these structures have C₂ symmetry. The 3-pentanone molecule, which has C₂ symmetry, sits symmetrically within the cavity, while the 2-pentanone molecule, which lacks C₂ symmetry, takes two equally probable orientations within the cavity. Both structures are similar to previously reported gossypol inclusion complexes formed with small esters and 3-hexanone. The distal positioning of the carbonyl group in 2-hexanone does not allow it to fit into the same solvent cavity that exists in the pentanone structures. In the gossypol-2-hexanone complex, the solvent cages are skewed, and the C₂ site symmetry is lost. As a result, the structure crystallizes in a Cc space group and has a larger asymmetric unit and unit cell. Although the 2-hexanone structure retains many of the features of the gossypol–pentanone complexes, this is the first report of a gossypol inclusion compound with this extended structure.This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected issue number.
