Design and Synthesis of 3-Triazolo-coumarins and Their Applications in Scavenging Radicals and Protecting DNA

In this study, we synthesized a series of 3-triazolo-coumarins and evaluated their antioxidant activities respectively by two methods: trapping 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cationic radical(ABTS^+·) and oxidation of DNA which was induced by Cu²⁺/glutathione(GSH), ·OH and 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride)(AAPH). Among the nine 3-triazolo-coumarins, compounds 6c and 6f―6i were synthesized for the first time, which exhibited the capability of terminating radical propagation-chains in oxidation of DNA induced by AAPH. In this study, we found that phenethylamine moiety, hydroxyl and ortho-methoxy are the key groups to enhance the antioxidant activities of compounds.     

Is planarity of pyridin-2-yl- and pyrazin-2-yl-formamide thiosemicarbazones related to their tuberculostatic activity? X-ray structures of two pyrazine-2-carboxamide-N′-carbonothioyl-hydrazones

Crystal structures of two title compounds and several their relatives known earlier reveal conservative and characteristic features, which may be related to their tuberculostatic activity. The molecules are predominantly planar due to conjugation through five successive bonds in the zwitterionic fragment S⁻–C(sp²)–N–NH⁺–C(sp²)–NH₂ and intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which prevent rotation of the adjacent pyrazine (or pyridine) ring. It has been suggested that in spatial sense such planar molecules resemble acridines intercalating with nucleic acids and that similar process may be responsible for tuberculostatic activity of the title pyrazine-2-carboxamide-N′-carbonothioyl-hydrazones.

钾离子浓度依赖的铅离子稳定G-四链体构型转化

已有研究普遍认为铅离子(Pb²⁺)诱导富G适体链形成的G-四链体(Pb²⁺-G4)比钾离子(K⁺)诱导富G适体链形成的G-四链体(K⁺-G4)更为稳定,因而Pb²⁺可以置换K⁺-G4中的K⁺,而且K⁺的存在不影响Pb²⁺-G4的稳定性。有趣的是本研究发现K⁺ (20 μmol∙L⁻¹–1 mmol∙L⁻¹)不仅可以诱导10 µmol∙L⁻¹ Pb²⁺稳定的T2TT(Pb²⁺-T2TT,杂合G4结构)发生构型转换,甚至还可取代Pb²⁺-T2TT中的Pb²⁺,形成K⁺稳定的T2TT (K⁺-T2TT,平行G4结构),最终转化形成的K⁺-G4结构与单独K⁺诱导富G适体链形成K⁺-G4的构型基本一致。随后,进一步考察了另外7条富G适体链,发现这一转化过程具有一定的普适性。该研究结果为理解G4构型转化以及内嵌离子交换提供了新的视角,也为拓展G4在生化分析和生物领域的应用提供了新的理论基础。     

Preparation and Evaluation of Arylazide-Substituted Pyridine Adenine Dinucleotides for Photoaffinity Labeling Experiments

Two pyridine-modified NAD'analogs, 3–(3-azido benzo-yl) pyridine adenine dinucleotide 1 and N -(3-azido-5-car-boxyl) phenyl nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2 have been prepared and evaluated for photoaffinity labeling experiments. The syntheses were accomplished via a mammalian NADase-catalyzed base exchange reaction. The new NAD⁺ analogs retained the carbonyl or carhox-amido functional group at the 3 position of the pyridine ring. The analog 1 is the first pyridine-modified azido derivative of NAD⁺ that has shown coenzyme activity in a stereospecific hydride transfer reaction catalyzed by a dehydrogenase. Both NAD⁺ analogs have shown potential for the study of active sites of NAD⁺-utilizing enzymes.     

REGENERATION OF NAD+ AND NADP+ COFACTORS BY PHOTOSENSITIZED ELECTRON TRANSFER

Abstract The irradiation with visible light of photosensitizer dyes like methylene blue or N-methyl phenazonium methyl sulfate leads to the oxidation of reduced coenzymes such as pyridine nucleotides (NADH or NADPH). This photoredox reaction can be used to regenerate the oxidized form of these coenzymes in enzymatic reactions and total consumption of a substrate with catalytic amounts of enzyme, coenzyme and photosensitizer can be performed. The process has been studied on two common enzymatic reactions: ethanol oxidation by alcohol-NAD ⁺ -oxidoreductase and gluconate-6-phosphate oxidation by 6-phospho-D-gluconate-NADP⁺-2-oxidoreductase. In the first case, a turnover number of 1125 has been obtained for the photoregeneration of NAD ⁺ from NADH.     

Intermolecular vs. intramolecular photoinduced electron transfer from nucleotides in DNA to acridinium ion derivatives in relation with DNA cleavage

Photoirradiation of various 10-methylacridinium ions (AcrR⁺, R = H, ⁱPr, and Ph) intercalated in DNA results in ultrafast intramolecular electron transfer, followed by rapid back electron transfer between AcrR⁺ and nucleotides in DNA. The electron-transfer dynamics in DNA were monitored by femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. Both acridinyl radical and nucleotide radical cations, formed in the photoinduced electron transfer in DNA, were successfully detected in an aqueous solution. These transient absorption spectra were assigned by the comparison with those of DNA nucleotide radical cations, which were obtained by the intermolecular electron-transfer oxidation of nucleotides with the electron-transfer state of 9-mesityl-10-methylacridinium ion (Acr–Mes⁺) produced upon photoexcitation of Acr⁺–Mes. Photoinduced cleavage of DNA with various acridinium ions (AcrR⁺, R = H, ⁱPr, Ph, and Mes) has also been examined by agarose gel electrophoresis, which indicates that the rapid intramolecular back electron transfer between acridinyl radical and nucleotide radical cation in DNA suppresses the DNA cleavage as compared with the intermolecular electron-transfer oxidation of nucleotides with Acr–Mes⁺.

Chuan-Cai Fan;Li-Jin Xu;Han-Yuan Gong;%T Neutral C–H bond vs. electron pair of N（sp~2）： A binding site effect study of macrocycle anion receptor

To evaluate the effect of neutral C–H bond or electron pair of nitrogen atom with sp2hybridization（N（sp2）） involving into the same chemical environment for anion binding, two analogous tetracationic imidazolium macrocycles, namely cyclo[2]（2,6-bis-（1H-imidazol-1-yl）pyridine） [2]（1,3-dimethylenebenzene）（14＋）, and cyclo[2]（2,6-bis-（1H-imidazol-1-yl）pyridine）[2]（2,6-di methylenepyridine）（24＋）were studied in detail as small inorganic anion receptors. The guest anions with different shapes are Cl,N3, NO3, and H2PO4. The host–guest interactions were characterized via1 H NMR spectroscopy,electrospray ionization mass spectrometry（ESI-MS） and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The results implied that macrocyclic hosts with similar backbone but two distinct binding sites（14＋with neutral C–H vs. 24＋with N（sp2）） vary markedly in their response to anions, including the binding modes and association constants. The finding will serve to the construction of new anion receptors, even improve insights into the anion binding process in biology.     

OL负载Cu催化剂及其催化氧化CO及乙酸乙酯性能

采用氧化还原法合成了层状锰氧化物(OL),并以OL为载体采用离子交换法制备了不同Cu负载量的Cu_x/OL催化剂。利用X射线衍射(XRD)、电子扫描电镜(SEM)、N_2吸附/脱附、H_2~-程序升温还原(H_2-TPR)、TG(热重)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、O_2-程序升温脱附(O_2-TPD)等技术对所制催化剂进行结构和织构表征,并对其催化氧化CO及乙酸乙酯活性进行了评价。结果表明,OL具有典型的层状锰氧化物结构,适量掺杂Cu对OL的结构和织构影响不大,但Cu的掺杂明显影响Cu_x/OL的还原性、氧移动性及催化剂表面Cu~(2+)/CuO、(Mn~(2+)+Mn~(3+))/Mn~(4+)和Oads/Olatt的比例。Cu_x/OL的催化性能与以上因素密切相关。在Cu_x/OL样品中,Cu_5/OL催化剂具有最佳的催化活性(CO催化氧化,T_(50)=70°C和T_(90)=100°C;乙酸乙酯催化氧化T50=160°C,T90=200°C)。同时,Cu_5/OL催化剂具有最佳的还原性能、氧移动性能和最多的Cu~(2+)、(Mn~(2+)+Mn~(3+))和表面吸附氧浓度。Cu_x/OL催化性能与铜锰之间相互作用、还原性和氧移动性能密切相关。     

Synthesis, structure and nuclease activity of copper complexes of disubstituted 2,2′-bipyridine ligands bearing ammonium groups

A series of Cu(II) complexes of disubstituted 2,2′-bipyridine bearing ammonium groups [Cu(L¹⁻⁴)₂Br]⁵⁺ (1–4, L¹ = [5,5′-(Me₂NHCH₂)₂-bpy]²⁺, L² = [5,5′-(Me₃NCH₂)₂-bpy]²⁺, L³ = [4,4′-(Me₂NHCH₂)₂-bpy]²⁺, L⁴ = [4,4′-(Me₃NCH₂)₂-bpy]²⁺ and bpy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) were synthesized, of which complexes 1 and 4 were structurally characterized. Both coordination configurations of Cu(II) ions can be described as distorted trigonal bipyramid. The interaction between all complexes and CT-DNA was evaluated by thermal-denaturation experiments and CD spectroscopy. Results show that the complexes interact with CT-DNA via outside electrostatic interactions and their binding ability follows the order: 1 > 2 > 3 > 4. In the absence of any reducing agents, the cleavage of plasmid pBR322 DNA by these complexes was investigated and the hydrolysis kinetics of DNA was studied in Tris buffer (pH 7.5) at 37 °C. Obtained pseudo-Michaelis–Menten kinetic parameters: 15.0, 13.6, 2.01 and 1.69 h⁻¹ for 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively, indicate that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit very high DNA cleavage activities. According to their crystal data, the high nuclease activity may be attributed to the strong interaction of the metal moiety and two ammonium groups with phosphate groups of DNA.

INTERACTION OF RESTORATION PROCESSES IN UV IRRADIATED ESCHERICHIA COLZ CELLS

Abstract— An attempt was performed to estimate survival and course of DNA synthesis in Escherichia coli B/r hcr' and hcr^- cells in relation to the amount of unexcised dimers.
In exponential growing hcr⁺ cells irradiated with 30 Jm^-2, dimers were almost completely excised and survival of cells was equal to about 3%. In the hcr⁺ cells prestarved for amino acid and thymine and irradiated by the same fluence, survival of cells was almost equal while two thirds of dimers remained unexcised and could be detected in the hybrid DNA consisting of parental and daughter chains. In exponentially growing hcr^+- cells irradiated with 20Jm^-, the same amount of dimers was produced which remained unexcised in the prestarved hcr⁺ cells. However, their survival was equal to about 0.02%.
Despite the great differences in dimer contents, about one third of DNA was replicated after UV in both exponentially growing and prestarved hcr+ cells producing well defined HL-hybrid peak, and the newly synthesized DNA was normal-sized. In hcr⁺ cells which contained approximately the same amount of dimers as in hcr⁺ prestarved cells, the amount of replicated DNA was too low to form a detectable density labelled hybrid peak, and the newly synthesized DNA was in short pieces.
Thus, when hcr⁺ and hcr^+- cells contain the same number of residual dimers, they have different levels of tolerance to these dimers.     

Photosensitization study of cage-like metal complexes with hexadentate ligands, tptn and tpen. Part 2. Electron transfer photosensitization via ion pairs: cobalt(III)(tptn)—iodide ion and cobalt(III)(tpen)—iodide ion systems

Co(tptn)³⁺ and Co(tpen)³⁺ (where tptnN,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3-propanediamine and tpen N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine) are demonstrated to have a similar photosensitization capacity to other caged Co(III) complexes such as Co(sepulchrate)³⁺. In oxygen-saturated aqueous solutions at pH 4.0, a photoassisted oxidation of I⁻ to I₃⁻ by O₂ is obtained with a turnover number of greater than 12 for both Co(tptn)³⁺ and Co(tpen)³⁺. Quantum yields for the formation of I₃⁻ are 8.7x 10⁻⁴ and 1.6x 10⁻² respectively at pH 4.0 in solution with a constant supply of air.     

Rate constant for the reaction of the t-butoxyl radical with Fe(II) ion

The rate of the reaction of the tert-butoxyl radical (t-BuO^√) with Fe²⁺ was measured using laser flash photolysis of methanolic solutions at room temperature. t-BuO^√ were generated by homolytic photodecomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide. The rate constant for oxidation of Fe²⁺ with t-BuO^√ radicals was studied under pseudo-first order conditions. On the basis of competitive kinetics the quantum yield of oxidation, Φ(Fe³⁺), was determined as function of Fe²⁺ concentration by measuring the absorbance of Fe³⁺ as [FeCl]²⁺ complex. By using the literature values of the rate constants of relevant competing reactions, the desired rate constant was determined to be 3.0×10⁸ M⁻¹ s⁻¹.

Kinetics and mechanisms of the redox reaction of hexaaquotitanium(III) and the ethylenediamine tetraacetato titanium(III) complex by aqueous solutions of bromine

At 25°C, I = 1.0 M (CF₃SO₃⁻Li⁺+CF₃SO₃H), [H⁺] = 0.034–0.274 M and λ = 453 nm, the rate equation for the oxidation of Ti(H₂O), ₆³⁺ by bromine was found to be: −d/[Br₂]T/dt=kK/[Br₂][Ti^III]/[H⁺]+K+kK/[Br₃⁻][Ti^III]/[H⁺+K, where k = 9.2 × 10⁻³ M ⁻¹ s ⁻¹ and K = 4.5 × 10⁻³ M. At [H⁺] = 1.0 M, [Br⁻] = 0.05–0.4 M, the apparent second-order rate constant decreases as [Br⁻] increases.

The pH-dependence of the oxidation of Ti^III-edta by bromine is interpreted in terms of the change in identity of the Ti^III-edta species as the pH of the reaction medium changes. The second-order rate constants were fitted using a non-linear least-square computer program with (1/k₀^edta)² weighting into an equation of the form: k₀^edta =k₁+k₂K₁[H⁺]⁻¹+k₃K₁K₂[H⁺]^−2/1+K₁[H⁺[H⁺⁻¹+K₁K₂[H⁺]⁻², with K₁ and K₂ fixed as earlier determined at 9.55 × 10⁻³ and 2.29 × 10⁻⁹ M, respectively, for the oxidation of bromine. k₁=k₂=(3.1±0.32)×10³M⁻¹s⁻¹ k₃=(2.3±0.45)×10⁶N⁻¹s⁻¹.

It is proposed that these electron transfer reactions proceed by univalent changes with the production of Br₂^.− as a transient intermediate. An outer-sphere mechanism is proposed for these reactions. The homonuclear exchange rate for Ti^III-edta+Ti^IV-edta is estimated at 32 M⁻¹ s⁻¹.
