Clostridium difficile toxin A induces expression of the stress-induced early gene product RhoB.
2004
Clostridium difficile toxin A monoglucosylates the Rho family GTPases Rho, Rac, and Cdc42. Glucosylation leads to the functional inactivation of Rho GTPases and causes disruption of the actin cytoskeleton. A cDNA microarray revealed the immediate early gene rhoB as the gene that was predominantly up-regulated in colonic CaCo-2 cells after treatment with toxin A. This toxin A effect was also detectable in epithelial cells such as HT29 and Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, as well as NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. The expression of RhoB was time-dependent and correlated with the morphological changes of cells. The up-regulation of RhoB was approximately 15-fold and was based on the de novo synthesis of …
Templated synthesis of a rotaxane with a [Ru(diimine)3]2+ core.
2003
A rotaxane containing a ruthenium bisphenanthroline complex, acting as an axis, and a macrocycle incorporating a 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) unit, threaded by the axis, has been synthesized. The bisphenanthroline ligand is such that its ruthenium(II) complexes possess a clearly identified axis, making such compounds ideal components of rotaxanes constructed around an octahedral ruthenium(II) center, which serves as a template. The ring is threaded by the axial ruthenium(II) precursor complex, to afford the corresponding pseudorotaxane in moderate yield. The X-ray structure analysis of this compound reveals the threaded nature of the complex. The length of the threaded ring (35 atoms in the periph…
Fast Pirouetting Motion in a Pyridine Bisamine-Containing Copper-Complexed Rotaxane
2013
The present work reports the introduction of pyridine bisamine terdentate ligands in the structure of a pirouetting copper rotaxane. Rotaxane 2[PF6] constitutes the first example of the incorporation of imine-based dynamic covalent chemistry in the synthesis of switchable copper-complexed interlocked systems. In this rotaxane, the substitution of the classical terpyridine terdentate unit by a pyridine bisamine moiety has led to a significant stabilization of the pentacoordinated site. That fact has been evidenced by EPR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Regarding the tetracoordinated site, the congestion around the coordination sphere has been reduced to accelerate the typically slow reo…
Synchrotron powder-diffraction study of the spin transition compound [Fe(bpp)2](NCS)2·2H2O and soft X-ray-induced structural phase conversion
2008
Abstract We have studied the high spin and low spin structural phases of the two-step spin transition compound [Fe(bpp) 2 ](NCS) 2 ·2H 2 O (bpp: 2,6-bis(pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine) of different sample history with X-ray synchrotron ( λ ∼ 0.32 A) powder diffraction at different temperatures as well as with usual X-ray ( λ ∼ 1.54 A) powder diffraction at room temperature by performing rapid repeated scans at regular intervals of time. A structural phase transition occurs only during the first step of the spin transition. Time dependent interconversions of the two crystallographic phases have been observed at room temperature for this material. The results indicate that a soft X-ray (Cu-K α )-ind…
Infinite coordination polymer networks metallogelation of aminopyridine conjugates and in situ silver nanoparticle formation
2018
Herein we report silver(i) directed infinite coordination polymer network (ICPN) induced self-assembly of low molecular weight organic ligands leading to metallogelation. Structurally simple ligands are derived from 3-aminopyridine and 4-aminopyridine conjugates which are composed of either pyridine or 2,2'-bipyridine cores. The cation specific gelation was found to be independent of the counter anion, leading to highly entangled fibrillar networks facilitating the immobilization of solvent molecules. Rheological studies revealed that the elastic storage modulus (G') of a given gelator molecule is counter anion dependent. The metallogels derived from ligands containing a bipyridine core dis…
Homo- and heterometallic complexes constructed from hexafluoroacetylacetonato and Schiff-base complexes as building-blocks
2018
Three new homo- and heterotrimetallic complexes have been synthesized and crystallographically characterized: [Cu2(saldmpn)2(μ-OCH3)2Cu2(hfac)2] (1), [Ni2(valaepy)2(hfac)2] (2), [Cu(saldmpn)Co(hfac)2] (3) [H2saldmpn is the Schiff-base resulting from condensation of salicylaldehyde with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane and Hvalaepy results from the reaction of o-vanillin with 2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine)]. The structure of 1 consists of a neutral tetranuclear species that can be viewed as resulting from mutual coordination of one {(hfac)Cu(μ-OCH3)2(Cu(hfac)} and two {Cu(saldmpn)} building blocks. Compound 2 is a binuclear complex that results from two {Ni(hfac)(valaepy} fragments, the nickel(II)…
Unprecedented reactivity of a Schiff base ligand in the co-ordination sphere of copper(I) complex towards β-diketones. Synthesis and X-ray characteri…
2002
International audience; The reactions of the copper(I) derivative [CuL(THF)(CH3CN)]PF6 (1), in which L is the di-imine/pyridine ligand 2,6-bis[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine, with different β-diketones (2,4-pentanedione (acacH), 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione (dbm)) yielded the new Cu(I) salt [CuL′2]PF6 (2) (L′: 2-[acetyl]-6-[1-(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)ethyl]pyridine). These reactions of β-diketones with a di-imine/pyridine ligand co-ordinated to a Cu(I) centre constitute the first example of a partial hydrolysis of such a Schiff base within the inner sphere of a Cu centre. Compound 2·acaH has been characterised by X-ray crystallography. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ…
Structure of the copper (II) perchlorate complex with Schiff base ligand containing pyridine N-oxide fragments and propylene bridges: Solvatochromic …
2005
Abstract The copper (II) perchlorate complexes with Schiff base ligands were investigated by X-ray single crystal analysis, electron spectroscopy, infrared and electron paramagnetic spectroscopy. The Schiff bases were obtained as condensation products of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde N-oxide with dipropylenetriamine (L1) and triethylenetetramine (L3), respectively. The structure of the complex [CuL2](ClO4)2 was solved. In the structure, the ligand exists in the form of aliphatic polyamine containing two Schiff bases in contrary to the free form of this ligand with one pyrimidine ring and one Schiff base. Electronic spectra of the copper (II) perchlorate complexes of both ligands in different sol…
Tuning the nuclearity of iron(iii) polynuclear clusters by using tetradentate Schiff-base ligands
2014
Three novel octanuclear, hexanuclear and tetranuclear complexes of high-spin Fe(III) ions were obtained by the reaction of the N,N′-bis-(1R-imidazol-4-ylmethylene)-ethane-1,2-diamine ligand (R = H, CH3) and its derivatives with Fe(ClO4)3·6H2O and KSCN. The tetradentate Schiff-base ligand acts as a bis(bidentate) chelating bridge between two adjacent high-spin Fe(III) centers. The presence of a methyl group in the imidazolyl substituent, the change of counterions or the replacement of imidazole by pyridine has a drastic effect on the nuclearity of the cluster. The magnetic properties of all compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic interactions via μ-oxo or μ-hydroxo pathways in Fe(III) dimers.
Ordered mesoporous hybrid materials containing cobalt(ii) Schiff base complex
2002
Immobilisation of Co-salen and Co-fluomine onto ordered mesoporous silica has been achieved through coordination of the cobalt to pyridine or imidazole groups covalently attached to the silica matrix. Two routes have been investigated to obtain mesoporous hybrid materials containing coordinating ligands: post synthesis grafting of 4-[2-(trimethoxysilyl)ethyl]pyridine 1 and N-trimethoxysilylpropylimidazole 2 on hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica via SiOH groups or direct synthesis method i.e. co-hydrolysis and polycondensation of the same functionalised organotrimethoxysilane with a number of equivalents of TEOS in the presence of n-hexadecylamine as structure directing agent. The first m…
