Bioresponsive poly(amidoamine)s designed for intracellular protein delivery.
2013
Poly(amidoamine)s with bioreducible disulfide linkages in the main chain (SS-PAAs) and pH-responsive, negatively charged citraconate groups in the sidechain have been designed for effective intracellular delivery and release of proteins with a net positive charge at neutral pH. Using lysozyme as a cationic model protein these water soluble polymers efficiently self-assemble into nanocomplexes by charge attraction. At pH 5 (the endosomal pH) the amide linkages connecting the citraconate groups in the sidechains of the SS-PAAs are hydrolyzed by intramolecular catalysis, resulting in expulsion of the negative citraconate groups and formation of protonated amine groups, resulting in charge reve…
The introduction of fluorine atoms or trifluoromethyl groups in short cationic peptides enhances their antimicrobial activity
2006
The effect of introducing fluorine atoms or trifluoromethyl groups in either the peptidic chain or the C-terminal end of cationic pentapeptides is reported. Three series of amide and ester peptides were synthesised and their antimicrobial properties evaluated. An enhanced activity was found in those derivatives whose structure contained fluorine, suggesting an increase in their hydrophobicity.
Synthesis and Reactivity toward Isonitriles of (2-Aminoaryl)palladium(II) Complexes
2001
Mixtures of “Pd(dba)2” (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) and 2,2‘-bipyridine (bpy; 1:2) or N,N,N‘,N‘-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda; 1:1) react with 2-bromo-4-nitroaniline to give [Pd{C6H3NH2-2-NO2-5}Br(N−N)] (N−N = bpy (1b), tmeda (1b‘)). Reactions of 2-iodoaniline with mixtures of “Pd(dba)2” and isonitriles RNC (R = C6H3Me2-2,6 (Xy), 2:1:2 molar ratios; R = tBu, 2.9:1:2 molar ratios) result in the formation of the complexes [Pd{κ2C,N-C(NXy)C6H4NH2-2}I(CNXy)] (2a) and trans-[Pd{C(NtBu)C6H4NH2-2}I(CNtBu)2] (3a*). The reactions of [Pd{C6H4NH2-2}I(bpy)] and 1b‘ with RNC give the complexes trans-[Pd{C(NR)C6H3NH2-2-Y-5}}X(CNR)2] (Y = H, X = I, R = Xy (3a), tBu (3a*); Y = NO2, X = Br, R = Xy (3b),…
Coordination properties of imino(2-pyridyl)methylpalladium(II) compounds. Reactions with the chloride-bridged allyl dimers [MCl(η3-2-MeC3H4)]2 (MPd,…
1990
Abstract The imino(2-pyridyl)methylpalladium(II) compounds py-2-CR 1 NR [R 1 = trans -PdCl(PPh 3 ) 2 , R = C 6 H 4 OMe- p ( Ia ), Me ( Ib ), CMe 3 ( Ic ); R 1 = Pd(dmtc)(PPh 3 ), R = C 6 H 4 OMe- p ( Id )] react with [MCl(η 3 - 2-MeC 3 H 4 )] 2 (M = Pd, Pt) in a molar ratio 1/0.5 and in the presence of NaClO 4 to yield the binuclear cationic complexes II , [M(η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )(py-2-CR 1 NR)]ClO 4 , where the α-diimino group acts as σ,σ N , N ′ chelating ligand. In the absence of NaClO 4 and with a molar ratio 1/1, the reaction leads initially to formation of a ionic intermediate A , [M(η 3 - 2-MeC 3 H 4 )(py-2-CR 1 NR)] [MCl 2 (η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )], which subsequently undergoes exchange …
Synthesis and characterization of new allyl palladium complexes with thionate ligands; X-ray molecular structures of [Pd3(η3-C4H7)3{pm(Me)2S}2](CF3SO…
1999
Abstract The reaction of [Pd(η3-C4H7)]CF3SO3 (η3-C4H7=η3-2-MeC3H4) (1), prepared in situ by reaction of [Pd(η3-C4H7)Cl]2 with AgCF3SO3, with various thionate ligands, gives new polymeric complexes formulated as [Pd(η3-C4H7)(RS)]n (2) [RS=pyS (pyridine-2-thionate)], im(Me)S(imidazole-3-methyl-2-thionate) (3), pm(Me)2S (pyrimidine-4,6-dimethyl-2-thionate) (4). A solution of 4 contaminated with KCF3SO3 evolves to give crystals that correspond to a new polymeric species whose X-ray crystal molecular structure indicates the presence of cationic infinite chains built of trinuclear units, [Pd3(η3-C4H7)3{pm(Me)2S}2]+ (5). Finally, the formation of a mononuclear thionate-containing palladium complex…
Synthesis, structure, and nuclease properties of several binary and ternary complexes of copper(II) with norfloxacin and 1,10 phenantroline
2007
Three new binary Cu(II) complexes of norfloxacin have been synthesized and characterized. We also report the synthesis, characterization and X-ray crystallographic structures of a new binary compound, [Cu(HNor)(2)]Cl(2).2H(2)O (2) and two new ternary complexes norfloxacin-copper(II)-phen, [Cu(Nor)(phen)(H(2)O)](NO(3)).3H(2)O (4), and [Cu(HNor)(phen)(NO(3))](NO(3)).3H(2)O (5). The structure of 2 consists of two crystallographically independent cationic monomeric units of [Cu(HNor)(2)](2+), chloride anions, and uncoordinated water molecules. The Cu(II) ion is placed at a center of symmetry and is coordinated to two norfloxacin ligands which are related through the inversion center. The struct…
Bimetallic ruthenium-tin chemistry: synthesis and molecular structure of arene ruthenium complexes containing trichlorostannyl ligands
2010
A series of neutral, anionic and cationic arene ruthenium complexes containing the trichlorostannyl ligand have been synthesised from SnCl2 and the corresponding arene ruthenium dichloride dimers [(η6-arene)Ru(μ2-Cl)Cl]2 (arene = C6H6, PriC6H4Me). While the reaction with triphenylphosphine and stannous chloride only gives the neutral mono(trichlorostannyl) complexes [(η6-C6H6)Ru(PPh3)(SnCl3)Cl] (1) and [(η6-PriC6H4Me)Ru(PPh3)(SnCl3)Cl] (2), the neutral di(trichlorostannyl) complex [(η6-PriC6H4Me)Ru(NCPh)(SnCl3)2] (3) could be obtained for the para-cymene derivative with benzonitrile as additional ligand. By contrast, the analogous reaction with the benzene derivative leads to a salt compose…
Versatile synthesis of cationic N-heterocyclic carbene–gold(i) complexes containing a second ancillary ligand. Design of heterobimetallic ruthenium–g…
2016
We describe a versatile and quick route to cationic gold(i) complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbenes and a second ancillary ligand (such as phosphanes, phosphites, arsines and amines) of interest for the synthesis of compounds with potential catalytic and medicinal applications. The general synthetic strategy has been applied in the preparation of novel cationic heterobimetallic ruthenium(ii)-gold(i) complexes that are highly cytotoxic to renal cancer Caki-1 and colon cancer HCT 116 cell lines while showing a synergistic effect and being more selective than their monometallic counterparts.
Synthesis of the first imidazolyl-triphosphines containing a Triphos unit
2007
Abstract Since biphasic liquid–liquid continuous-flow catalytic processes often require the use of cationic phosphine ligands for the metal sequestration in the polar phase, we have prepared the first imidazolyl triphosphines, named Triphosim and Triphosmim. These ligands contain the Triphos unit [-P(CH2CH2PPh2)] which is linked to the imidazole fragment and have been obtained in three steps from imidazole (or 2-methylimidazole), diethylvinylphosphonate and diphenylvinylphosphine with global yields of 42–48%. The Triphosim ligand adopts a tridentate P-coordination mode in a palladium dichloride complex and the reaction of the dangling imidazole function with alkyl halides leads to a new kin…
Isomer Distribution and Interconversion in Cationic Allylpalladium(II) Complexes with 2-(Iminomethyl)pyridine Ligands
1997
The complexes [Pd(η3-allyl)(N-N‘)]ClO4 [allyl = 2-butenyl or 3-methyl-2-butenyl, N-N‘ = C5H3(6-R)N-2-CHNR‘ (R = H, R‘ = Me, CMe3, C6H4OMe-4; R = Me, R‘ = C6H4OMe-4) and C5H4N-2-CH2NMe2] are present in solution with different isomers, the structures of which may be assigned by an 1H NMR criterion based on chemical shift changes of the pyridine H(6) and/or of the allylic methyl protons, as confirmed also by 2D 1H NMR spectra. The isomer distribution depends mainly on the steric requirements of both the allyl and N-N‘ ligands: for [Pd(η3-3-methyl-2-butenyl)(N-N‘)]ClO4 the predominant isomer (ca. 100%) has a structure with the allylic methyl groups cis to the coordinated pyridine nitrogen when…
