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…

Structural characterisation and nuclease activity of mixed copper(II) complexes with sulfonamides and bipyridil

Mixed copper complexes have been synthetised through reaction of Cu(II) salts with bipyridil and N-quinolin-8-yl-p-toluenesulfonamide (Hqtsa), N-quinolin-8-yl-benzenesulfonamide (Hqbsa) or N-quinolin-8-yl-naftalenesulfonamide (Hqnsa). Single crystal X-ray diffraction structure determination shows that copper cations are five-coordinated, one complex have distorted bipyramidal trigonal geometry and the other have a distorted square-pyramid. The FT IR and EPR spectra are also reported. Electrophoresis results show that the synthetised complexes in the presence of ascorbate and hydrogen peroxide are chemical nucleases.

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.

DNA interaction of new copper(II) complexes with sulfonamides as ligands

New copper(II) complexes with sulfonamide ligands have been prepared and characterized. Sulfonamide ligands were prepared through a reaction between 8-aminoquinoline and either 2-mesitylene (Hqmesa), 4-tert-butylbenzene (Hqtbsa), or alpha-toluene (Halphaqtsa) sulfonyl chlorides. The structural analysis carried out for complex [Cu(alphaqtsa)(2)] indicated that the local environment of the Cu(II) cation is between a square planar and a tetrahedral geometry, with stacking of the benzene rings of the sulfonyl ligands between neighbor molecules. Powder EPR spectra at room temperature gave rhombic spectra for the [Cu(alphaqtsa)(2)] and [Cu(qmesa)(2)] complexes and an axial spectrum for the [Cu(qt…

Biological Activity of Flavonoids Copper Complexes

Three flavonoid copper(II) complexes Cu2(quercetin)(CH3COO)3(CH3OH) (1), Cu(anthrarufin)(CH3COO)·1/2H2O (2) and Cu(naringin)(OCH3)(CH3OH)2 (3) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic absorption and EPR (X-band) spectroscopy. The complexes have a strong protective action over the Δsod1 mutant of S. cerevisiae against reactive oxygen radicals generated by an external source of free radicals (H2O2 or the superoxide-generating, menadione). On the other hand, the complexes cleave DNA efficiently even in the absence of reducing agents. The main reactive oxygen species responsible for the DNA strand cleavage have been determined using radical scavengers. A pro…

Copper complexes with dithiocarbamates derived from natural occurring amino acids. Crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(en)(EtOH)(H2O)3][Cu(dtc-pro)2]

Abstract Reaction of Cu(II) salts with dithiocarbamates derived from the amino acids asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine and tyrosine leads to reduction of the metallic cation and formation of Cu(I) complexes, whereas reaction with proline dithiocarbamate takes place without reduction, leading to formation of a Cu(II) coordination compound. Simultaneous reaction of proline dithiocarbamate and ethylenediamine with Cu(II) leads to the formation of the mixed complex [Cu(en)(EtOH)(H2O)3][Cu(dtc-pro)2]. In the anion, the Cu(II) centre possesses a D2h local symmetry, coordinated by two bidentate dithiocarbamate ligands, while the Cu(II) centre is in a distorted octahedral coordination in the…

Oxidative DNA damage of mixed copper(II) complexes with sulfonamides and 1,10-phenanthroline

Abstract Mixed coordination compounds of Cu(II) with sulfonamides and 1,10-phenanthroline as ligands have been prepared and characterised. Single crystal structural determination of the complex [Cu( N -quinolin-8-yl- p -toluenesulfonamidate) 2 (phen)] shows Cu(II) ions are located in a highly distorted octahedral environment, probably as a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect. The FT-IR and electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra are also discussed. The mixed complexes prepared undergo an extensive DNA cleavage in the presence of ascorbate and hydrogen peroxide. Two of the complexes have higher nucleolytic efficiency than the bis( o -phenanthroline)copper(II) complex.

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…
