Complexes of cadmium ion with guanine bases detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

The complexations of cadmium ion with guanine bases were detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). In order to explore the toxicity of cadmium, such as oxidative stress to DNA and carcinogenesis, it is very important to determine the interactions between the cadmium ion and nucleotide. The analysis of mixed cadmium ion-guanosine aqueous solution (molar ratio 1 : 9) using ESI-MS (cone voltage 20 V) showed the presence of various cadmium complex ions, such as [n (guanosine) + Cd](2+) (n = 3-8), [2guanine + Cd](2+), [guanosine + guanine + Cd](2+) and [guanosine + 2guanine + Cd](2+). The observed [2guanine + Cd](2+), [guanosine + guanine + Cd](2+) and [guanosine + guanine + Cd](2+) ions are formed through the dissociation of the N-glycoside bond at the interface of ESI-MS. For deoxyguanosine and ethylguanine, similar cadmium complexes were observed. However, the complexes between the cadmium ion and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine were not detected. Furthermore, when a higher molar ratio (Cd : guanosine) or cone voltage were used, more of the monovalent ion peaks, such as [Cd(guanine - H)(2) + H](+) and [Cd(guanosine - H)(2) + H](+), were observed and a decrease in the abundance of the divalent ions, such as [n(guanosine)+Cd](2+), occurred.     

Analysis of phytochelatin-cadmium complexes from plant tissue culture using nano-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry and capillary liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

Phytochelatins (PCs, also known as class III metallothioneins), a family of sulfhydryl-rich peptides with the formula (gamma-GluCys)(n)Gly(Pc(n), n = 2-11), are induced in plants, yeast and fungi exposed to heavy metals, and are thought to detoxify metals by forming PC- metal complexes. Although PCs have been detected, PC- metal complexes have not been well characterized. In this work, nano-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (nano-ESI-MS/MS) and capillary liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (capillary LC/ESI-MS/MS) methods were used to analyze PC - Cd complexes isolated from Datura innoxia, also known as Jimsonweed, cell culture exposed to Cd. With nano-ESI-MS/MS and capillary LC/ESI-MS/MS we could simultaneously detect the presence of PCs and PC - Cd complexes from plant cell extracts, unambiguously identify these species and elucidate the nature of individual PC - Cd complexes. Phytochelatins with n = 3-6 were detected, as were PC - Cd complexes with PC(3), PC(4) and PC(5). This is the first study to report the size and nature of native PC - Cd complexes from plant tissue samples. These results demonstrate that the direct analysis of plant extracts using nano-ESI-MS/MS and capillary LC/ESI-MS/MS methods is simple and sensitive to the range of PCs and PC - Cd complexes in plants. Hence these methods open up new opportunities for further quantitative analysis of PCs and PC - metal complexes in cell culture and plant systems to understand the relationship between the biosynthesis of these compounds and metal tolerance.

Cyclic and stripping voltammetry of tin at mercury hanging drop and film electrodes in acidic o-diphenol media in the presence of lead and cadmium

The influence of catechol, gallic acid and tiron on the voltammetric behaviour of tin(IV) in the presence of lead(II) and cadmium(II) was investigated at hanging drop and mercury film electrodes in perchloric acid, oxalic acid and formate supporting electrolytes. Under cyclic conditions, well separated peaks of tin, lead and cadmium are obtained in oxalic acid and formate solutions containing gallic acid or catechol; tiron suppresses the tin peaks significantly. The efficiency of the deposition of tin in the presence of catechol or gallic acid is less than that of lead, particularly at long deposition time. The best separation of the stripping peaks of tin, lead and cadmium is obtained in oxalic acid solution containing gallic acid or catechol. In perchloric acid solution containing gallic acid or catechol the second peak corresponding to tin oxidation is useful for determinations of tin in the presence of lead. Tin(IV) at the 10^-8 mol l^-1 level can be detemined in various salt solutions and in water samples in the presence of five-fold amounts of lead and cadmium.     

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry of a novel family of complexes in which various nitroso compounds are stabilized via coordination to [IrCl5]2-

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) data of a unique family of complexes of nitroso compounds coordinated to pentachloroiridate(III), [Cl5IrN(O)XR]2- (X=NH, S, CH and R=alkyl, aryl) are presented. These novel complexes are obtained by nucleophilic attack of primary amines, thiols. and alkenes to the coordinated nitrosyl. Despite their lability and low volatility, MS analysis of complexes of the type MN(O)X was done for the first time, complementing other spectroscopic techniques. The intrinsic dissociation chemistry of the gaseous diagnostic ions was studied via ESI-MS/MS and found to be very useful to confirm the proposed connectivities of the parent complexes. In particular, ESI-MS of their solutions allows the detection of series of diagnostic ions, mainly, [M-Cl]-, [M+K]-, [M-NO]-*, and [M-Cl+AcN]- (AcN=acetonitrile), which confirmed the identity of the analyzed complexes to be M=[Cl5IrN(O)XR]2-. Major fragments were formed by losses of NO or N(O)XR. ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS measurements are therefore shown to be the proper techniques to complement the spectroscopic characterization of this important class of nitroso complexes. An interesting rearrangement that does not take place in solution was observed in the gaseous phase, and a plausible mechanism is discussed.     

Reactivity of 2-pyridinecarboxylic esters with cadmium(II) halides: study of (113)Cd NMR solid state spectra and crystal structures of hexacoordinated complexes [CdI(2)(C(5)H(4)NCOOMe)(2)] and [CdI(2)(C(5)H(4)NCOOPr(n))(2)

The series of complexes [CdX(2)(C(5)H(4)NCOOR)] (X = Cl or Br; R = Me, Et, Pr(n)() or Pr(i)()) and [CdX(2)(C(5)H(4)NCOOR)(2)] (X = I; R = Me, Et, Pr(n)(), or Pr(i)()) have been obtained by the addition reaction of esters of 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid to cadmium(II) halides. X-ray crystal structures of two complexes [CdI(2)(C(5)H(4)NCOOR)(2)], R = Me (10) and R = Pr(n)() (12), have been determined. In both cases, the structure consists of discrete neutral monomeric units where the cadmium atom has a distorted octahedral coordination with CdI(2)N(2)O(2) core, two halides being in cis disposition. Structural information is compared with that deduced from (113)Cd CPMAS NMR experiments. Chemical shift anisotropies are discussed in terms of distortions produced in cadmium octahedra. The orientation of the principal axes of (113)Cd shielding tensor is also analyzed and related to the disposition of ligands in the structures of two analyzed compounds.     

Determination of the metal-binding cooperativity of wild-type and mutant calbindin D9K by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Since the initial reports showing the ability of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to study intact noncovalent biomolecular complexes, an increasing number of uses for this technique in studying biochemical systems is emerging. We have investigated the ability of ESI-MS to characterize the metal-binding properties of calcium (Ca2+) binding proteins by studying the incorporation of Ca2+ and cadmium (Cd2+) into wild-type and mutant calbindin D9K. ESI-MS showed that wild-type calbindin D9K binds two Ca2+ ions with similar affinities while the binding of two Cd2+ ions is sequential, as is the binding of the two Ca2+ or Cd2+ ions to the N56A mutant of calbindin. The binding of Ca2+ to the wild-type protein was clearly seen to be cooperative. These results demonstrate the potential efficacy of ESI-MS to discriminate between cooperative and independent site metal binding to metalloproteins.     

A new method of microvolume back-extraction procedure for enrichment of Pb and Cd and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry

The need for highly reliable methods for the determination of trace elements has been recognised in analytical chemistry and environmental science. A method for the trace analysis of Pb and Cd in natural waters is described. In a preconcentration step, 500 ml of an aqueous sample containing lead and cadmium were extracted into 3.5 ml of a solution containing a complexing agent (dithizone) in xylene. Subsequently, the dithizonate complexes were back-extracted into 600 mul of nitric acid solution for direct determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Important microextraction parameters were optimised using spiked deionised water. The 3sigma detection limits, relative standard deviations and linear calibration graphs were, respectively, 0.39 mugl(-1), 6.3% and 1.0-20.0 mugl(-1) for lead and 8.2 ngl(-1), 4.0% and 0.05-1.0 mugl(-1) for cadmium for solvent microextraction times of 4 min and microvolume back-extraction times of 1 min. The preconcentration factors were 543- and 331-fold for lead and cadmium, respectively.

speciation of Cadmium(II) Using Donnan Dialysis and Differential-Pulse Anodic Stripping Voltammetry in a Flow-Injection System

Abstract

A flow-injection/Donnan dialysis/differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry system was developed for the determination of free cadmium concentrations, [Cd²⁺], in solutions containing organically complexed Cd(II). A small dialysis cell with a strong cation-exchange membrane separating the sample and the receiver channels, was equilibrated in a flow-injection system. The ionic strength of sample and receiver solutions was 0.1 M, with NaNO₃ as the bulk electrolyte. By determining a constant fraction of the Cd²⁺ associated with the membrane phase, [Cd²⁺] of the samples could be measured.

Experimentally determined [Cd²⁺] corresponded well with those calculated, using tabulated stability constants, when citric acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, and oxalic acid were added as ligands. Thus, negatively charged and uncharged complexes were excluded from the membrane. Using the experimental design presented, [Cd²⁺]>5 × 10^×8 M could be determined, but there is a great potential for increasing the sensitivity of the method.

In solutions containing 1.0 μM Cd(II) and 200 mg fulvic acid/l, the inorganic fraction (Cd²⁺ CdNO₃ ⁺ decreased from 57% to 10% when the pH increased from 4.04 to 5.51. In a soil solution from an orthic podzol, having a high concentration of dissolved organic carbon (22.4 mM), the inorganic fraction constituted 53% of the total Cd(II) concentration.     

Modeling the adsorption of Cd(II) onto kaolinite and Muloorina illite in the presence of citric acid

The adsorption of cadmium onto kaolinite and Muloorina illite in the presence of citric acid has been measured as a function of pH and cadmium concentration at 25 degrees C. When citric acid is present in the systems cadmium adsorption is slightly enhanced below pH 5, but significantly suppressed between pH 5 and 8, for both substrates. At higher citric acid concentrations very little cadmium adsorbs onto kaolinite from pH 5 to 8. Above pH 8 adsorption of Cd(II) onto illite is enhanced in the presence of citric acid, especially at lower concentrations, but this does not occur for kaolinite. Adsorption and potentiometric titration data were fitted by simple extended constant-capacitance surface complexation models for the two substrates. Enhancement of adsorption at lower pH values was ascribed to the ternary reaction [X(-)--K(+)](0)+Cd(2+)+L(3-)+2H(+) right arrow over left arrow (0)+K(+) involving outer-sphere complexation with permanently charged X(-) sites on the "silica" faces of both clay minerals. The models suggested that suppression of adsorption in the intermediate pH range was due to the formation of a strong CdL(-) solution complex which adsorbed neither on the permanently charged sites nor on the surface hydroxyl groups at the edges of the clay crystals. At higher pH values the dominant solution complex, CdLOH(2-), apparently adsorbed as an outer-sphere complex at surface hydroxyl groups on illite, SOH+2Cd(2+)+L(3-) right arrow over left arrow [SOCd(+)--CdOHL(2-)](-)+2H(+), but not on kaolinite. This difference in behavior results from the presence of =FeOH groups on the illite surface which can form surface complexes with CdLOH(2-), while the =AlOH groups on the kaolinite surface cannot.     

Potentiometric studies of binary and ternary complexes involving cadmium(II) and nitrilo-tris(methyl phosphonic acid) with amino acids, peptides and DNA constituents

The complexing properties of nitrilo-tris(methylphosphonic acid) (NTP) with cadmium(II) were investigated pH-metrically at 25 degrees C and at ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm(-3) (NaNO3). Stoichiometry and stability constants for the complexes formed are reported. Cadmium (II) forms Cd(NTP)(4-) and the corresponding hydroxy complexes. The ternary complexes are formed in a stepwise mechanism whereby NTP binds to cadmium(II), followed by coordination of amino acids, peptides or DNA. The concentration distribution of the various complex species has been evaluated.     

Stereochemistry,structural and models of novel 5-(4'-derivatives phenyldiazo)-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone complexes

Copper(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of 5-(4'-derivatives phenyldiazo)-3-phenyl-2-thioxo-4-thiazolidinone (HLn) were prepared, their compositions and physicochemical properties were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic suseptibility measurements, and infrared, electronic spectra. The novel complexes have the stoichiometric formulae [Cu(HLn)(OAc)n(H2O)(X)] (OAc = acetate, X = H2O or acetate) and [Cd(L)(OAc)(H2O)], respectively. Elemental analysis and IR spectra denote, that two types of complexes with different octahedral and tetrahedral structure for Cu(II) and Cd(II) ions. I.R. spectra show that the ligand is monobasic/neutral bidentate forming thereby a six-membered chelating ring and concomitant formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The stoichiometeries of these complexes were determined conductometrically and indicated the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 (metal:ligand) complexes.

Kinetics of aquation and anation of ruthenium(II) arene anticancer complexes, acidity and X-ray structures of aqua adducts

The aqua adducts of the anticancer complexes [(eta(6)-X)Ru(en)Cl][PF(6)] (X=biphenyl (Bip) 1, X=5,8,9,10-tetrahydroanthracene (THA) 2, X=9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) 3; en=ethylenediamime) were separated by HPLC and characterised by mass spectrometry as the products of hydrolysis in water. The X-ray structures of the aqua complexes [(eta(6)-X)Ru(en)Y][PF(6)](n), X=Bip, Y=0.5 H(2)O/0.5 OH, n=1.5 (4), X=THA, Y=0.5 H(2)O/0.5 OH, n=1.5 (5 A), X=THA, Y=H(2)O, n=2 (5 B), and X=DHA, Y=H(2)O, n=2 (6), are reported. In complex 4 there is a large propeller twist of 45 degrees of the pendant phenyl ring with respect to the coordinated phenyl ring. Although the THA ligand in 5 A and 5 B is relatively flat, the DHA ring system in 6 is markedly bent (hinge bend ca. 35 degrees ) as in the chloro complex 3 (41 degrees ). The rates of aquation of 1-3 determined by UV/Vis spectroscopy at various ionic strengths and temperatures (1.23-2.59x10(-3) s(-1) at 298 K, I=0.1 M) are >20x faster than that of cisplatin. The reverse, anation reactions were very rapid on addition of 100 mM NaCl (a similar concentration to that in blood plasma). The aquation and anation reactions were about two times faster for the DHA and THA complexes compared to the biphenyl complex. The hydrolysis reactions appear to occur by an associative pathway. The pK(a) values of the aqua adducts were determined by (1)H NMR spectroscopy as 7.71 for 4, 8.01 for 5 and 7.89 for 6. At physiologically-relevant concentrations (0.5-5 microM) and temperature (310 K), the complexes will exist in blood plasma as >89 % chloro complex, whereas in the cell nucleus significant amounts (45-65 %) of the more reactive aqua adducts would be formed together with smaller amounts of the hydroxo complexes (9-25 %, pH 7.4, [Cl(-)]=4 mM).     

Free and bound phenolic compounds in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) flours. evaluation of the extraction capability of different solvent mixtures and pressurized liquid methods by micellar electrokinetic chromatography and spectrophotometry

The solution speciation of metals is a critical parameter controlling the bioavailability, solution-solid phase distribution and transport of metals in soils. The natural metal-complexing ligands that exist in soil solution include inorganic anions, inorganic colloids, organic humic substances, amino acids (notably phytosiderophores and bacterial siderophores) and low-molecular mass organic acids. The latter two groups are of particular significance in the soil surrounding plant roots (the rhizosphere). A number of analytical methodologies, encompassing computational, spectroscopic, physico-chemical and separation techniques, have been applied to the measurement of the solution speciation of metals in the environment. However, perhaps with the exception of the determination of the free metal cation, the majority of these techniques rarely provide species specific information. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to a sensitive detection system, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) or electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), offers the possibility of separating and detecting metal-organic acid complexes at the very low concentrations normally found in the soil environment. This review, therefore, critically examines the literature reporting the HPLC separation of metal-organic acid complexes with reference to thermodynamic equilibrium and kinetic considerations. The limitations of HPLC techniques (and the use of thermodynamic equilibrium calculations to validate analytical results) are discussed and the metal complex characteristics necessary for chromatographic separation are described.
