Copper(II) complexes with sulfonamides derived from 2-picolylamine and their use as chemical nucleases

Reaction between 2-picolylamine (2-aminomethylpyridine) with 2-mesitylenesulfonyl and 4- tert -butylbenzene sulfonyl chlorides leads to the formation of 2,4,6-trimethyl- N -[pyridin-2-ilmethyl]benzenesulfonamide (Hpmesa) and 4-ter-butyl- N -[pyridin-2-ilmethyl]benzenesulfonamide (Hptbsa). These compounds react with Cu(II) salts to yield coordination compounds with CuL 2 stoichiometry. The immediate environment of the metal ion is a highly distorted tetrahedron, the sulfonamide ligands acting in a bidentate fashion. Compound Hpmesa crystallizes in monoclinic space group P 2 1 /c (number 14), with Z  = 4; complex [Cu(pmesa) 2 ] crystallizes in monoclinic space group P 1 ¯ (number 2), with Z  …

Mn(II) complexes with sulfonamides as ligands.

Abstract Sulfonamides derived from 8-aminoquinoline react with Mn(II) and Mn(III) salts to form Mn(II) complexes; the Mn(III) species are reduced to the divalent state in the presence of 1,10 phenanthroline and bipyridine. Their molecular structure, determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction, show that all the complexes present a distorted octahedral geometry, in which the deprotonated sulfonamide acts as a bidentate ligand. UV–visible spectroscopy and changes in the melting temperature (Tm) of calf thymus DNA show a strong interaction of these complexes with DNA. The significant hypochromicity of the charge transfer transition at 370 nm without an appreciable change in wavelength and t…

Synthesis and characterization of sulfonamides containing 8-aminoquinoline and their Ni(II) complexes. Crystalline structures of the Ni complexes

Reaction between 8-aminoquinoline and benzenesulfonyl, toluene-4-sulfonyl and naphthalene-2-sulfonyl chlorides in a basic medium leads to the formation of the corresponding sulfonamides. Reaction of these sulfonamides with Ni(II) salts leads to the formation of the corresponding complexes, with a NiL 2 stoichiometry. Determination of the crystalline structure by X-ray diffraction shows an octahedral environment for the Ni(II) ions, sulfonamides acting as bidentate ligands and two solvent molecules completing the octahedral coordination. The spectroscopic and magnetic properties of these compounds are also discussed.

Crystal structure of (2R*,3aR*)-2-phenylsulfonyl-2,3,3a,4,5,6-hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]isoxazole

The title compound, C12H15NO3S, was prepared by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole 1-oxide and phenyl vinyl sulfone. In the molecule, both fused five-membered rings display a twisted conformation. In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring molecules, forming chains running parallel to thebaxis.

Cu(II) complexes with a sulfonamide derived from benzoguanamine. Oxidative cleavage of DNA in the presence of H2O2 and ascorbate

Reaction between benzoguanamine (2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine) and 2-mesitylenesulfonyl chloride leads to formation of a sulfonamide able to form two mononuclear Cu(II) complexes with a CuL(2) stoichiometry. The local environment of the metal cation is a distorted octahedron, with two ligands and two solvent molecules; both complexes crystallize in the monoclinic structure, space group P2(1), with Z=2. In the presence of ascorbate/H(2)O(2,) the two complexes significantly cleavage double-strand pUC18 DNA plasmid. Both complexes exhibit more nuclease efficiency that the copper phenantroline complex. From scavenging reactive oxygen studies we conclude that the hydroxyl radical and a si…

Photoinduced and Self‐Activated Nuclease Activity of Copper(II) Complexes with N ‐(Quinolin‐8‐yl)quin­olin‐8‐sulfonamide – DNA and Bovine Serum Albumin Binding

Two CuII complexes with a new quinoline sulfonamide derivative and phenanthroline (phen), [Cu(QSQ)(phen)]ClO4·0.5H2O (1) and [Cu(QSQ)(phen)(H2O)]ClO4 (2) [HQSQ = N-(quinolin-8-yl)quinolin-8-sulfonamide], have been synthesized and physicochemically characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies have revealed a highly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal structure for 1 (τ = 0.68) and an almost perfect trigonal-bipyramidal geometry for 2 (τ = 0.92). DNA binding studies, which were performed by thermal denaturation, viscometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry, indicated a partial intercalation of 1 with Kapp = 2.45 × 106 M–1. The nuclease activity of 1 was investigated upo…

Counterion's Effect on the Catalytic Activity of Zn-Prolinamide Complexes in Aldol Condensations

The catalytic activity of complexes involving organic ligands and Lewis acids can be modulated by changing any of their components. In this work we have studied the influence on the stereoselectivity and catalytic activity exerted by the counterion of zinc salts employed as cocatalysts of L-prolinamide in aldol condensations. The structures of the complexes have been determined both in solution and in the solid state.

Copper Complexes with Sulfonamides Derivatives of Natural Amino Acids as Chemical Nucleases

Three new coordination compounds have been prepared by reacting copper salts with sulfonamides derived from amino acids. Their molecular structures have been determined with the aid of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The copper cations are four-coordinated in all cases and the local environment is almost planar. Compound [Cu(ts-gly)(NH3)2]·H2O (1) crystallizes in monoclinic space group P21/c (no 14) with Z = 4 and with unit cell parameters a = 6.0490(12) A, b = 24.719(5) A, c = 9.159(2) A, α = γ = 90°, and β = 94.69(3)°. Compound [Cu(ts-isoleu)(NH3)2] (2) crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2/c (no 8) with Z = 15 and with unit cell parameters a = 30.800(6) A, b = 6.5510(13) A, c = 15.…
