Abstract: | The total syntheses of five new porphyrin-cobaltacarborane conjugates (1-5) have been achieved in 88-98% yields in a single-step reaction between a nucleophilic meso-pyridyl-containing porphyrin and zwitterionic cobaltacarborane 3,3'-Co(8-C(4)H(8)O(2)-1,2-C(2)B(9)H(10))(1',2'-C(2)B(9)H(11))]. These unique zwitterionic compounds have one to four cobaltabisdicarbollide anions conjugated to the porphyrin macrocycle via (CH(2)CH(2)O)(2) chains. The X-ray structure of one of these conjugates (1) is presented and discussed. The cellular uptake, cytotoxicity, and subcellular localization of cobaltacarboraneporphyrins 1-5 were investigated in human HEp2 cells. The number and distribution of cobaltacarborane residues linked to the porphyrin macrocycle has a significant effect on the cellular uptake of the conjugates. |
