Synthesis, characterization, antitumor activity of nickel(Ⅱ) and cobalt (Ⅱ) complexes of 2,2''''-diamino-4,4''''-bithiazole and their interaction with dGMP

New complexes,of bis(2,2'-diamino-4,4'-bithiazole)sulfate nickel(Ⅱ) and bis(2,2'-diami-no-4,4'-bithiazole)sulfate cobalt(Ⅱ),have been prepared.The complexes were characterized by infrared and UV-Vis spectroscopy,1H NMR,elemental analyses and molar conductivity.The effect of these complexes on the DNA synthesis of sarcoma 180 cells has been studied by the technique of isotopic liquid scintillation.The results indicated that complexes show ability to inhibit DNA synthesis of the tumor cells.In order to provide a molecular basis for understanding the biological effects,the probe,[trana-en2Os(η2-H2)](CF3SO3)2 (en,ethylenediamine) as a monitor was first used to explore interaction of the complexes with 2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-monophosphate (dGMP).

Synthesis, structural, spectroscopic, and electrochemical characterization of high oxidation state diruthenium complexes containing four identical unsymmetrical bridging ligands

Six Ru2(6+) derivatives of the form Ru2(L)4(C[triple bond]CC6H5)(2), where L = 2-Fap, 2,3-F(2)ap, 2,4-F(2)ap, 2,5-F(2)ap, 3,4-F(2)ap, or 2,4,6-F(3)ap, are synthesized and characterized as to their electrochemical, spectroscopic, and/or structural properties. These compounds are synthesized from a reaction between LiC[triple bond]CC6H5 and Ru2(L)4Cl. Two of the investigated complexes exist in a (4,0) isomeric form while four adopt a (3,1) geometric conformation. These two series of geometric isomers are compared with previously characterized (4,0) Ru2(ap)4(C[triple bond]CC6H5)(2), (4,0) Ru2(F5ap)4(C[triple bond]CC6H5)(2), and (3,1) Ru2(F5ap)4(C[triple bond]CC6H5)(2). The overall data on the nine compounds thus provide an opportunity to systematically examine how the electrochemical and structural properties of these Ru2(6+) complexes vary with respect to isomer type and electronic properties of the bridging ligands.     

μ‐{N,N′‐Bis[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamidato(2–)}‐1κ2O,O′:2κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′‐bis­(4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐1κ2N,N′)dinickel(II) bis­(perchlorate)

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Ni₂(C₁₀H₂₀N₄O₂)(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)₂](ClO₄)₂ or [Ni(dmaeoxd)Ni(dmbp)₂](ClO₄)₂ {H₂dmaeoxd is N,N′‐bis­[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl]oxamide and dmbp is 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine}, the deprotonated dmaeoxd²⁻ ligand is in a cis conformation and bridges two Ni^II atoms, one of which is located in a slightly distorted square‐planar environment, while the other is in an irregular octa­hedral environment. The cation is located on a twofold symmetry axis running through both Ni atoms. The dmaeoxd²⁻ ligands inter­act with each other via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions, which results in an extended chain along the c axis.     

Electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical characterization of Ru(2)(4+) and Ru(2)(3+) complexes under a CO atmosphere

Eleven different Ru(2)(4+) and Ru(2)(3+) derivatives are characterized by thin-layer FTIR and UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry under a CO atmosphere. These compounds, which were in-situ electrogenerated from substituted anilinopyridine complexes with a Ru(2)(5+) core, are represented as Ru(2)(L)(4)Cl where L = 2-CH(3)ap, ap, 2-Fap, 2,3-F(2)ap, 2,4-F(2)ap, 2,5-F(2)ap, 3,4-F(2)ap, 3,5-F(2)ap, 2,4,6-F(3)ap, or F(5)ap. The Ru(2)(5+) complexes do not axially bind CO while mono- and bis-CO axial adducts are formed for the Ru(2)(4+) and Ru(2)(3+) derivatives, respectively. Six of the eleven investigated compounds exist in a (4,0) isomeric form while five adopt a (3,1) geometric conformation. These two series of compounds thus provide a large enough number of derivatives to examine trends and differences in the spectroscopic data of the two types of isomers in their lower Ru(2)(4+) and Ru(2)(3+) oxidation states. UV-visible spectra of the Ru(2)(4+) derivatives and IR spectra of the Ru(2)(3+) complexes under CO are both isomer dependent, thus suggesting that these data can be used to reliably predict the isomeric form, i.e., (3,1) or (4,0), of diruthenium complexes containing four unsymmetrical substituted anilinopyridinate bridging ligands; this was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic data for seven compounds whose structures were available.

Monitoring intracellular proteins using fluorescence techniques: from protein synthesis and localization to activity

The recent breakthroughs in genomics and proteomics and improvements of optical methods have made it possible to obtain localized, real-time information on intracellular proteins dynamics, through dynamic three-dimensional (3D) maps of the living cell with nanometric resolution of individual molecules. On one side, brighter variants of the Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) have been engineered that have different excitation and/or emission spectra that better match available light sources. Like their parent molecule, these variants retain their fluorescence when fused to heterologous proteins on the N- and C- terminals, and this binding generally does not affect the functionality of the tagged protein leading the way to their use as an intracellular reporter. On the other side, optical methods have been improved to allow reaching the level of single-molecule detection inside living cells. Nevertheless some limitations exist for the use of GFP variants for probing 3D conformational changes of proteins. First, these variants are fused to the N and/or C terminals of the studied protein, which are generally not the best location to detect conformational changes resulting from the binding to other proteins or enzyme substrates. Then their own relatively large size makes them unusable for tagging small proteins. These limitations suggest that new tagging processes, permitting the location of the right fluorescent markers at the right places, must be found to built up inter- and/or intra-molecular rulers allowing one to monitor conformational changes resulting from intracellular protein-protein, protein-membrane, and enzyme-substrate binding. These specific locations can be obtained from in vitro studies of 3D conformational changes that occur during protein docking.     

Role of tin in a PtSb alloy and a Pt-Sn/Al2O3 reforming catalyst

The conversion of n-hexane was studied on a Pt-Sn/Al₂O₃ catalyst, a PtSn alloy and on the corresponding Pt catalysts. The results indicate the same catalytic effect of tin in supported and unsupported catalysts. It is concluded that the role of tin is connected with alloy formation.
