Three isomeric Me(8)[14]anes, L(A), L(B) and L(C), undergo complexation with copper(II) salts to form a series of [CuLX(n)(H(2)O)(x)]X(y).(H(2)O)(z) complexes where L = L(A), L(B) and L(C); X = Cl, Br, NO(3); n, x, y and z may have values of 0, 1 or 2. The complexes have been characterised on the basis of analytical, spectroscopic, magnetic and conductance data. Further, the X-ray crystal structure of one complex, [CuL(B)(OH(2))(2)](NO(3))(2), has been determined. The antifungal activity of all three isomeric ligands and their complexes has been investigated against a range of phytopathogenic fungi.

Symmetric 1,1'-Dimethylferrocene-Derived Amino Acids: Their Synthesis, Characterization, Ligational and Biological Properties With Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) Ions

Some novel symmetric 1,1'-dimethylferrocene derived amino acids have been prepared by the reaction of 1,1'-ferrocenedimethyldichloride with amino acids (glycine, alanine, phenylalanine and tyrosine). Their Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes, of the type [M(L)] where [M = Cu(II) and L = L(1)-L(5)] and [M(L)Cl(2)] where [M-Co(II)and Ni(II), L = L(1)-L(5)] have been prepared. The dicarboxylic acids and their metal complexes were characterized by their physical, analytical and spectral data. The [M(L)] complexes showed a square planar geometry whereas an octahedral geometry was observed for [M(L)Cl(2)] complexes. The title dicarboxylic acids and their metal complexes have also been screened for their antibacterial activity.     

Spectral (FT-IR,NMR) Analyses,Molecular Structures,and Chemical Bonding of Two Hexahydroacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione Derivatives: A Comparative Quantum Chemical Study

A comparative study on two hexahydroacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione deriv-atives namely, 9,10-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-3,4,-6,7,9,10-hexahy-droacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione (FTHD) and 10-(4-fluorophenyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-9-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-3,4,6,-7,9,10-hexahyd-roacridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione (FTMPHD) has been performed. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra have been recorded in the CDCl₃ solvent. The equilibrium geometries of FTHD and FTMPHD have been determined and analyzed at DFT level employing B3PW91/6-311++G (d,p) method. The vibrational spectra of both the molecules are calculated and compared with the experimental FT-IR spectra. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra have been calculated by using the gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) method. The calculated spectra have been found to be in good agreement with the experimental spectra. The quantum theory of atoms-in-molecule (QTAIM) approach is employed to study various intramolecular interactions within these molecules. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and the molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) surfaces have been constructed and analyzed. Various electronic as well as thermodynamic parameters have been reported.     

Improving solubility and refolding efficiency of human V(H)s by a novel mutational approach

The antibody V(H) domains of camelids tend to be soluble and to resist aggregation, in contrast to human V(H) domains. For immunotherapy, attempts have therefore been made to improve the properties of human V(H)s by camelization of a small set of framework residues. Here, we have identified through sequence comparison of well-folded llama V(H) domains an alternative set of residues (not typically camelid) for mutation. Thus, the solubility and thermal refolding efficiency of a typical human V(H), derived from the human antibody BT32/A6, were improved by introduction of two mutations in framework region (FR) 1 and 4 to generate BT32/A6.L1. Three more mutations in FR3 of BT32/A6.L1 further improved the thermal refolding efficiency while retaining solubility and cooperative melting profiles. To demonstrate practical utility, BT32/A6.L1 was used to construct a phage display library from which were isolated human V(H)s with good antigen binding activity and solubility. The engineered human V(H) domains described here may be useful for immunotherapy, due to their expected low immunogenicity, and in applications involving transient high temperatures, due to their efficient refolding after thermal denaturation.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Some Triphenyltin(IV) Complexes from Sterically Crowded [((E)-1-{2-Hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl}methylidene)amino]acetate Ligands and Crystal Structure Analysis of a Tetrameric Triphenyltin(IV) Compound

Four new triphenyltin(IV) complexes containing [((E)-1-{2-hydroxy-5-[(E)-2-(aryl)-1-diazenyl]phenyl}methylidene)amino]acetate ligands (L) have been synthesized with formulations of Ph₃SnLH. They have been studied by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn M?ssbauer and IR spectroscopy. A full characterization of one complex, Ph₃SnL¹H (1), was accomplished by single crystal X-ray crystallography, which revealed the compound to be a macrocyclic tetramer. In the tetramer, the five coordinate tin atoms have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries with the three phenyl groups occupying equatorial positions, while an oxygen atom of the carboxylate group of one L ligand and the oxide O-atom (formerly the hydroxy group) of a second L ligand in an apical positions. The carboxylate ligands bridge adjacent tin atoms and coordinate in the zwitterionic form with the phenolic proton moved to the nearby nitrogen atom. ¹¹⁹Sn NMR results indicate that the tetrameric structures of the complexes in the solid state, in which the tin atoms are five-coordinated, dissociate in solution to yield four coordinate monomeric species.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and properties of Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinic acid ligand

Two novel complexes, namely [Cd(L)₂] (1) and [Zn(L)₂(H₂O)₂] (2) have been synthesized (HL = 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinic acid), which are characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrum and X-ray crystal diffraction. While strong hydrogen bonds play central roles in the formation of the 3D structure, the combined influence of the weak interactions such as C–H?O bonds, carbonyl?π and C–H?π interactions are also evident in the structures. The preliminary investigation on the thermal and fluorescence property of the complexes are presented.     

DNA interstrand cross-linking efficiency and cytotoxic activity of novel cadmium(II)-thiocarbodiazone complexes

We have prepared mono- and binuclear complexes of Zn(II) and Cd(II) with bis(2-pyridyl aldehyde) thiocarbodiazone (H(2)L(1)) and bis(methyl 3-pyridyl ketone) thiocarbodiazone (H(2)L(2)). Cytotoxicity data against the ovarian tumor cell line A2780cisR (acquired resistance to cisplatin) indicate that the mononuclear complex Cd/H(2)L(2) (1) and the binuclear complex Cd(2)/H(2)L(1) (4) are able to circumvent cisplatin resistance and that their cytotoxic activity does not substantially vary after depletion of intracellular levels of glutathione. Moreover, DNA binding studies show that complexes 1 and 4 have higher efficiency than cisplatin at forming DNA interstrand cross-links in both naked pBR322 plasmid and A2780cisR cellular DNA. Interestingly, the thiocarbodiazone ligands alone do not show the biological properties of complexes 1 and 4. Altogether these results suggest that DNA interstrand cross-link formation by compounds 1 and 4 might be related with their cytotoxic activity in cisplatin-resistant cells. We think that compounds 1 and 4 may represent a novel structural lead for the development of cadmium cytotoxic agents capable of improving antitumor activity in cisplatin-resistant tumors.     

Four Flexible Bis(Thiabendazole)-Based Cd(II) Coordination Polymers with Various Aromatic Carboxylates: Syntheses,Structures and Properties

Four Cd(II) coordination polymers (CPs) including [Cd(btbb)_0.5(L1)] _n (1), [Cd(btbb)(L2)·(H₂O)_1.5] _n (2), [Cd(btbb)(L3)] _n (3), and [Cd(btbb)(HL4)] _n (4) (btbb?=?1,4-bis(thiabendazole)butane, H₂L1?=?5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, H₂L2?=?4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid, H₂L3?=?tetrabromoterephthalic acid, H₃L4?=?5-nitro-1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid) were prepared under hydrothermal conditions based on flexible bis(thiabendazole) ligand and different co-carboxylates. Their structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, elemental analyses, IR spectra, X-ray powder diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses. CP 1 exhibits a 3D 2-nodal (3,4)-connected framework with the 3,4T10 topology. CP 2 and 3 feature typical hcb layer structure, and 3 is further combined into a 3D supramolecular architecture through C–H?O hydrogen bonds. CP 4 possesses an infinite chain and further extended into 2D supramolecular network by O–H?O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The effects of the aromatic polycarboxylate co-ligands on the CPs framework have been discussed and the catalytic activities of CPs 1–4 for degradation of methyl orange in Fenton-like process are also investigated.     

Pyrazolyl-diamine ligands that bear anthracenyl moieties and their rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes: synthesis, characterisation and DNA-binding properties

Two novel families of pyrazolyl-diamine ligands that bear an anthracen-9-yl group as a DNA-binding fragment, pz*(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NHCH2-9-anthryl (pz*=pz (L(1)), 3,5-Me2pz (L2)) and pz*(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NH(2 (pz*=4-(9-anthrylmethyl)pz (L3), 3,5-Me2-4-(9-anthrylmethyl)pz (L4)), have been prepared and fully characterised. In the case of L2-L4, the evaluation of their coordination capability towards the fac-[Re(CO)3]+ core led to the synthesis of the organometallic complexes fac-[Re(CO)(3){3,5-Me(2)pz(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NHCH2-9-anthryl}]Br (7) and fac-[Re(CO)3{4-(9-anthrylmethyl)pz*(CH2)2NH(CH2)2NH2}]Br (pz*=pz (8), 3,5-Me2pz 9). The interaction of the novel pyrazole-diamine ligands and the rhenium(I) complexes with calf thymus (CT) DNA has been investigated with a variety of spectroscopic techniques (UV-visible, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD) and linear dichroism (LD)). All of the evaluated compounds have a moderate affinity to CT DNA (3.46x10(3)相似文献   

Exploration of Intermolecular Interaction of One Silver(I) Polymer with Bis(pyrazolyl)methane Derivative: Experimental Observations,Hirshfeld Surface Analyses and Fluorescent Properties

In the superbasic medium DMSO-KOH, bis(3,3-diethoxycarbonyl-1-pyrazolyl)methane (L) was synthesized. Besides, the single crystal of L has been obtained. Meanwhile, one novel coordination polymers, [Ag(L)(NO₃)] _n (1) was successfully prepared. The single X-ray diffraction data reveal that L crystallized in the P-1 space group. Novel bis(pyrazolyl)methane derivative ligand, L acts as multidentate ligands to coordinate with Ag ion to form a six-membered boat conformation. And furthermore the nitrate groups bridge each Ag(I) to construct a zigzag chain. The fluorescent properties of the complex were examined in solution and compared with the ligand. In order to investigate the intermolecular interactions, we also studied Hirshfeld surface analysis of ligand and the complex. The Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the main intermolecular interactions are H···H and O···H/H···O interactions which comprise 23.9 and 33.8 % of the total Hirshfeld surface area.     

Mammalian cell expression of dimeric small immune proteins (SIP)

We have designed and expressed bivalent small immune proteins (SIP) based on scFv fragments connected through a short linker of four amino acids to the CH3 domain of the human immunoglobulin gamma 1 H-chain. Three different versions have been designed and expressed in mammalian cells. In one construct a cysteine residue was included in the last amino acid of the flexible 15-amino acid long linker connecting the V(L) and V(H) domains, thus creating a disulphide bond stabilized molecule. A version with a shorter (five amino acids) V(L)/V(H) linker was also produced and shown to be efficiently assembled and secreted. All three SIPs form dimers retaining their antigenic specificity in Western blotting and having a comparable functional affinity (avidity) as determined by ELISA.

Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Properties of Tridentate NNO, NNS and NNN Donor Thiazole-Derived Furanyl, Thiophenyl and Pyrrolyl Schiff Bases and Their Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) Metal Chelates

2-Aminothiazole undergoes condensation reactions with furane-, thiophene- and pyrrole-2-carboxylaldehyde to give tridentate NNO, NNS and NNN Schiff bases respectively. These tridentate Schiff bases formed complexes of the type [M (L)(2)]X(2) where [M=Co(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) or Zn(II), L=N-(2-furanylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(1)), N-(2-thiophenylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(2), N-(2-pyrrolylmethylene)-2-aminothiazole (L(3)) and X=Cl. The structures of these Schiff bases and of their complexes have been determined on the basis of their physical, analytical and spectral data. The screening results of these compounds indicated them to possess excellent antibacterial activity against tested pathogenic bacterial organisms e.g., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureous and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, in comparison, their metal chelates have been shown to possess more antibacterial activity than the uncomplexed Schiff bases.     

Fertility Inhibitor Heterobimetallic Complexes of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II): Synthetic, Spectroscopic and Antimicrobial Aspects

Synthetic, spectroscopic and antimicrobial aspects of some fertility inhibitor heterobimetallic complexes have been carried out. These heterobimetallic chelates [M(C(5)H(5)N(3))(2)M(2)'(R)(4)]Cl(2) (M = Pd or Pt and M' = Si, Sn, Ti and Zr) have been successfully synthesinzed via the reaction of M(C(5)H(7)N(3))(2)Cl(2) with group four or fourteen dichlorides in 1:2 stoichiometric proportions. The products were characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations, magnetic susceptibility measurements, conductance, and IR multinuclear NMR and electronic spectral studies. A square planar geometry has been suggested for all the complexes with the help of spectral data. Conductivity data strongly suggest that chlorine atoms are ionic in nature due to which complexes behave as electrolytes. All the complexes have been evaluated for their antmicrobial effects on different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The testicular sperm density, testicular sperm morphology, sperm motility, density of cauda epididymal spermatozoa and fertility in mating trails and biochemical parameters of reproductive organs have been examined and discussed.

Solution equilibrium studies on the interaction of oxovanadium (IV) with iminodiacetic (IMDA) and nitrilotriacetic (NTA) acids have been carried out. pH-Titrations of the reaction mixtures containing vanadyl sulphate and aminopolycarboxylic acid in equimolar ratio have shown the formation of 1:1 chelates. With IMDA, the possibility of 1:2 chelate (metal ion: IMDA) is also indicated. The equilibrium, chelate formation, hydrolysis and polymerization constants have been calculated at 25 and 30°C and also the thermodynamic functions viz. ΔH, ΔF, and ΔS.     

Synthesis,characterization and catalytic study of [N,N′-bis(3-ethoxysalicylidene)-m-xylylenediamine]oxovanadium(IV) complex

The study of the synthesis and catalytic properties of the oxovanadium(IV) complex [N,N′-bis(3-ethoxysalicylidene)-m-xylylenediamine]oxovanadium(IV) ([VO(L)]) is the principal objective in this work. The Schiff base (L) and the its oxovanadium complex ([VO(L)]) have been characterized by elemental analysis, melting point, Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR), UV–Vis., ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic study of the [VO(L)] in the oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide was carried out in the homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. The catalysts were characterized by elemental analysis by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS), IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The progress of the catalytic reaction was followed by gas chromatographic analysis (GC). The oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide after 24 h of reaction, presented for [VO(L)], [VO(L)]-alumina and [VO(L)]-Y was 50 mol%, 98 mol% and 34 mol%, respectively. In the [VO(L)]-Y system it was noted an increase in the oxidation of the methyl phenyl sulfide from 34 mol% to 92 mol% after four days. In the systems [VO(L)] and [VO(L)]-alumina the sulfide oxidation reached a maximum after 24 h of reaction. [VO(L)]-supported Y and [VO(L)]-Wessalith^®P were inactive under the same reaction conditions.
