Fifteen organometallic Ir(III) half‐sandwich complexes ( 1A – 5C ) having the general formula [(η5‐Cpx)Ir(N^N)Cl]PF6 (Cpx = Cp*, tetramethyl(phenyl)cyclopentadienyl (Cpxph) or tetramethyl(biphenyl)cyclopentadienyl (Cpxbiph); N^N = diamine) have been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of 1A was determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The hydrolysis of 1A – 5C was monitored using UV–visible spectra. Complexes 3A – 3C showed catalytic activity for the oxidation of NADH to NAD+, where 3C showed the highest turnover number of 29.9 within 450 min. Cytotoxicity examination by MTT assay was carried out against two human cancer cell lines (HeLa and A549) after 24 or 48 h drug treatment. The complexes showed high potency, where the most potent complex ( 3C ; IC50 = 3.4 μM) was six times more active than cisplatin against A549 cells after 24 h drug exposure. Cytotoxic potency towards A549 cells increased with phenyl substitution on Cp ring: Cpxbiph > Cpxph > Cp*. In addition, the biological studies showed that 3C caused cell apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G1 phase in A549 cancer cells. Moreover, 3C increased the level of reactive oxygen species markedly after 24 h, which may provide an important basis for killing cancer cells. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to track 3C in A549 cells. The cellular localization experiment showed that 3C targeted lysosomes and caused lysosomal damage. 相似文献
Yeasts are good candidates to utilize the hydrolysates of lignocellulose, the most abundant bioresource, for bioproducts. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiencies of single-cell protein (SCP) and xylitol production by a novel yeast strain, Candida intermedia FL023, from lignocellulosic hydrolysates and xylose. This strain efficiently assimilated hexose, pentose, and cellubiose for cell mass production with the crude protein content of 484.2 g kg?1 dry cell mass. SCP was produced by strain FL023 using corncob hydrolysate and urea as the carbon and nitrogen sources with the dry cell mass productivity 0.86 g L?1 h?1 and the yield of 0.40 g g?1 sugar. SCP was also produced using NaOH-pretreated Miscanthus sinensis straw and corn steep liquor as the carbon and nitrogen sources through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with the dry cell productivity of 0.23 g L?1 h?1 and yield of 0.17 g g?1 straw. C. intermedia FL023 was tolerant to 0.5 g L?1 furfural, acetic acid, and syringaldehyde in xylitol fermentation and produced 45.7 g L?1 xylitol from xylose with the productivity of 0.38 g L?1 h?1 and the yield of 0.57 g g?1 xylose. This study provides feasible methods for feed and food additive production from the abundant lignocellulosic bioresources. 相似文献
Three diorganocobalt chlorides [CoClMe(PMe3)2–{(C5H6)–CH=O}] ( 4 ), [CoClMe(PMe3)2–{(C6H8)–CH=O}] ( 5 ), and [CoClMe(PMe3)2–{(C6H7Memeta)–CH=O}] ( 6 ) were synthesized through cyclometalation reactions with aldehyde as an anchoring group involving aliphatic vinylic C–Cl bond activation. Complexes 4 – 6 were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. The crystal and molecular structures of complexes 4 and 5 were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Complexes 4 – 6 are stable in solution at room temperature, but they decompose at above 30 °C affording C,C‐couplings products with the formation of [Co(PMe3)3Cl]. The results of this work will be important for people to deepen the understanding of the C–Cl bond activation mechanism. 相似文献
Ten half-sandwich iridium complexes containing lonidamine amide derivatives were synthesized and characterized. Unlike lonidamine, which acts on mitochondria, its iridium complexes successfully targeted lysosomes and induced lysosomal damage. Antiproliferation studies showed that most of the complexes have higher anticancer activity against A549 and HeLa cells than cisplatin. The antitumor activity of complex 6 is 2.69 times that of cisplatin against A549 cells. We also performed antitumor tests on ligands L1 and L5, and proved that they exhibit excellent antitumor activity only after binding to the metal center. The bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding test showed that the complexes had the ability to bind to BSA, and they interact with BSA by a static mechanism. The complexes can also cause changes in mitochondrial membrane potential and can produce active oxygen species better than active control. NADH/NAD+ transformation experiments were used to determine if the production of ROS was caused by the transformation of NADH/NAD+. We also explored the way that the complexes enter cells. 相似文献
The use of metal complexes containing phosphorus ligands as anticancer agents has not been well studied. In this work, eight novel half‐sandwich IrIII and RuII compounds with P^P‐chelating ligands have been synthesized and fully characterized, and alongside two crystal structures were reported. All eight complexes displayed highly potent antiproliferative activity, up to nine times more potent than the clinical anticancer drug cisplatin towards A549 lung cancer cells. Complex Ir1 , which has a simpler structure and highly potent antiproliferative activity, was selected to investigate in further mechanistic studies. No hydrolysis and nucleobase binding occurred for complex Ir1 . In order to elucidate subcellular localization, the self‐luminescence of the complex Ir1 was utilized. Ir1 can specifically target lysosomes and facilitate excessive production of reactive oxygen species, resulting in lysosomal membrane permeabilization in A549 cells. Release of cathepsin B and changes in the mitochondria membrane potential also contributed to the observed cytotoxicity of Ir1 , which demonstrated an anticancer action mechanism that was different from that of cisplatin. The favorable results from biological and chemical research demonstrated that these types of complexes hold significant theranostic potential. 相似文献
Agro-stovers are the most abundant substrates for producing lactic acid, which has great potential application in the production of biodegradable and biocompatible polylactic acid polymers. However, chemical pretreatments on agro-stovers generate inhibitors that repress the subsequent lactic acid fermentation. In this study, three bacterial strains (Enterococcus faecalis B101, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus C1, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa CS) isolated from dye-polluted soils could utilize phenolic inhibitor mimics (vanillin, 4- hydroxybenzaldehyde, or syringaldehyde) from alkaline pretreated corn stovers as a sole carbon source. Lactic acid titer increased from 27.42 g/L (Bacillus coagulans LA204 alone) to 44.76 g/L (CS and LA204) using 50 g/L glucose with 1 g/L 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde added. Lactic acid production from 50 g/L ammonia pretreated corn stover was increased nearly twofold by inoculating phenolic degradation bacteria and lactic acid bacteria (C1& Lactobacillus pentosus FL0421). In the control (FL0421 alone), only 16.98 g/L of lactic acid was produced. The isolated and identified strains degraded the phenolic compounds and increased the lactic acid production from glucose and ammonia pretreated corn stover. These characteristics of the strains support industrial application with efficient in situ detoxification of phenolic compounds during lactic acid production from agro-stovers using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF).
Organometallic half‐sandwich IrIII complexes of the type [(η5‐Cpx)Ir(N^N)Cl]PF6 (Cpx: Cp* or its phenyl Cpxph or biphenyl Cpxbiph derivatives; N^N: triphenylamine (TPA)‐substituted bipyridyl ligand groups) were synthesized and characterized. The complexes showed excellent bovine serum albumin (BSA) and DNA binding properties and were able to oxidize NADH to NAD+ (NAD=nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) efficiently. The complexes induced apoptosis effectively and led to the emergence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. All complexes showed potent cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 1.5 to 7.1 μm toward A549 human lung cancer cells after 24 hours of drug exposure, which is up to 14 times more potent than cisplatin under the same conditions. 相似文献
The synthesis, characterization and biological activity of four cyclometalated Ir (III) complexes ( Ir1 ‐ Ir4 ) containing different phosphine‐sulfonate ligands are reported. Most of these complexes showed good activity against A549 cancer cell lines and the human HeLa cervical cell lines. Spectroscopic properties study displays that all four complexes show rich fluorescence with emission maxima in the range of 474–510 nm. Fluorescence property of these complexes provides a tool to investigate the microscopic mechanism by confocal microscopy. Notably, the typical Ir (III) complex Ir4 can specially localize to lysosome, damage it and induce cell death via apoptosis. In addition, Ir4 enters into A549 cancer cells dominantly through energy‐dependent pathway. 相似文献
The N–H bond activation product [PNP]‐FeI(PMe3)2 ( 2 ) was obtained at room temperature by the reaction of diphosphinito [PNP] pincer ligand ((Ph2P(C6H4))2NH ( 1 )) with Fe(PMe3)4. Treatment of 1 with Co(PMe3)4, CoCl(PMe3)3 and CoMe(PMe3)4 afforded the same N–H bond activation product [PNP]‐CoI(PMe3)2 ( 3 ). In order to have a better understanding of the mechanism of formation of 3 , in situ IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic investigations were conducted.The reaction of 1 with Ni(PMe3)4 afforded the ligand replacement complex 4 while a [PNP]‐NiIIMe complex 5 was obtained via deprotonation through the reaction of 1 with NiMe2(PMe3)3. The molecular structures of 2 – 4 were confirmed by X‐ray diffraction analysis. 相似文献
