The peptide oxytocin (OT) antagonist atosiban, approved for tocolytic use in Europe (under the tradename Tractocile), represents an important new therapeutic advance for the treatment of premature labor. This paper presents some new peptide OT antagonists which offer promise as superior tocolytics. The solid phase synthesis is reported of four pairs of L and D-2-naphthylalanine (L/D-2Nal) position-2 modified analogs of the following four oxytocin (OT) antagonists: des-9-glycinamide [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-pentamethylene propionic acid), 2-O-methyltyrosine, 4-threonine]ornithine-vasotocin (desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4)]OVT) (A); the Tyr-NH(2) (9) analog of (A), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT (B); the Eda(9) analog of (A), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT (C); and the retro COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10) modified analog of (C), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10)]OVT (D). The eight new analogs of A-D are (1) desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4)]OVT, (2) desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[2-Nal(2),Thr(4)]OVT, (3) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT, (4) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT, (5) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT, (6) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT, (7) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10)]OVT, (8) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-OH)(10)]OVT. Peptides 1-8 were evaluated for agonistic and antagonistic activities in in vitro and in vivo rat bioassays, in rat OT receptor (rOTR) binding assays and in human OT receptor (hOTR) and human vasopressin (VP) vasopressor (V(1a)) receptor (hV(1a)R) binding assays. Also reported are the hOTR and hV(1a)R affinity data for atosiban and for B. None of the eight peptides exhibit oxytocic or vasopressor agonism. Peptides 1-8 exhibit weak antidiuretic agonism (activities in the range 0.014-0.21 U/mg). Peptides 1-6 exhibit potent in vitro (no Mg(2+)) OT antagonism (anti-OT pA(2) values range from 7.63 to 8.08). Peptides 7 and 8 are weaker OT antagonists. Peptides 1-6 are all OT antagonists in vivo (estimated in vivo anti-OT pA(2) values in the range 6.94-7.23). Peptides 1-8 exhibit vasopressor antagonism, anti-V(1a) pA(2) values in the range 5.1-7.65. Peptides 1-8 exhibit high affinities for the rOTR (K(i) values = 0.3-7.8 nM). Peptides 1-4 and B exhibit surprisingly very high affinities for the hOTR; their K(i) values are 0.17, 0.29, 0.07, 0.14 and 0.59 nM, respectively. Peptides 1-4 and B exhibit respectively 449, 263, 1091, 546 and 129 times greater affinity for the hOTR than atosiban (K(i) = 76.4 nM). Peptides 1-4 exhibit high affinities for the hV(1a)R (K(i)s = 1.1 nM, 1.3 nM, 0.19 nM and 0.54 nM, all higher than the hV1(a)R affinities exhibited by atosiban (K(i) = 5.1 nM) and by B (K(i) = 5.26 nM). Because of their strikingly higher affinities for the hOTR than atosiban, peptides 1-4 and B exhibit gains in anti hOT/anti hV(1a) receptor selectivity compared with atosiban of 93, 64, 39, 56 and 127, respectively. These OT antagonists are thus promising candidates for development as potential new tocolytic agents. 相似文献

Radiolabeling of biologically active molecules with the [(99m)Tc(CO)(3)](+) unit has been of primary interest in recent years. With this in mind, we herein report symmetric (L(1)) and asymmetric (L(2)-L(5)) pyrazolyl-containing chelators that have been evaluated in radiochemical reactions with the synthon [(99m)Tc(H(2)O)(3)(CO)(3)](+) (1a). These reactions yielded the radioactive building blocks [(99m)Tc(CO)(3)(k(3)-L)](+) (L = L(1)-L(5), 2a-6a), which were identified by RP-HPLC. The corresponding Re surrogates (2-6) allowed for macroscopic identification of the radiochemical conjugates. Complexes 2a-6a, with log P(o/w) values ranging from -2.35 to 0.87, were obtained in yields of > or =90% using ligand concentrations in the 10(-5-)10(-4) M range. Challenge studies with cysteine and histidine revealed high stability for all of these radioactive complexes, and biodistribution studies in mice indicated a fast rate of blood clearance and high rate of total radioactivity excretion, occurring primarily through the renal-urinary pathway. Based on the framework of the asymmetric chelators, the novel bifunctional ligands 3,5-Me(2)-pz(CH(2))(2)N((CH(2))(3)COOH)(CH(2))(2)NH(2) (L(6)) and pz(CH(2))(2)N((CH(2))(3)COOH)(CH(2))(2)NH(2) (L(7)) have been synthesized and their coordination chemistry toward (NEt(4))(2)[ReBr(3)(CO)(3)] (1) has been explored. The resulting complexes, fac-[Re(CO)(3)(k(3)-L)]Br (L(6)(7), L(7)(8)), contain tridentate ancillary ligands that are coordinated to the metal center through the pyrazolyl and amine nitrogen atoms, as observed for the other related building blocks. L(6) and L(7) were coupled to a glycylglycine ethyl ester dipeptide, and the resulting functionalized ligands were used to prepare the model complexes fac-[Re(CO)(3)(kappa(3)-3,5-Me(2)-pz(CH(2))(2)N(glygly)(CH(2))(2)NH(2))](+) (9/9a) and fac-[Re(CO)(3)(kappa(3)-pz(CH(2))(2)N(CH(2))(3)(glygly)(CH(2))(2)NH(2))](+) (10/10a) (M = Re, (99m)Tc). These small conjugates have been fully characterized and are reported herein. On the basis of the in vitro/in vivo behavior of the model complexes (2a-6a, 9a, 10a), we chose to evaluate the in vitro/in vivo biological behavior of a new tumor-seeking Bombesin pyrazolyl conjugate, [(L(6))-G-G-G-Q-W-A-V-G-H-L-M-NH(2)], that has been labeled with the [(99m)Tc(CO)(3)](+) metal fragment. Stability, in vitro cell binding assays, and pharmacokinetics studies in normal mice are reported herein. 相似文献

We found that human serum albumin (HSA) contains a single binding domain for derivatives of long-chain fatty acid (LCFA)-like molecules in which the carboxylate is replaced by sulfonate. Accordingly, we have synthesized 16-sulfo-hexadecanoic acid-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester [HO(3)S-(CH(2))(15)-CONHS], an agent that reacts selectively with the amino side chains of peptides and proteins. A macromolecule containing a single 16-sulfohexadecanoate moiety associating with albumin with a K(a) value of 0.83 ± 0.08 × 10(6) M(-1), a sufficient affinity to extend the actions in vivo of such short-lived peptides and proteins. Subcutaneous administration of insulin-NHCO-(CH(2))(15)-SO(3)(-) into mice facilitated a glucose-lowering effect 4.3 times in duration and 6.6 times in area under the curve (AUC) as compared to an in vitro equipotent amount of Zn(2+)-free insulin. Similarly, subcutaneous and intravenous administration of exendin-4-NHCO-(CH(2))(15)-SO(3)(-) to mice yielded prolonged and stable reduction in glucose level, 5-9-fold longer than that of exendin-4. Also, a single subcutaneous administration of human interferon-α2-[NH-CO-(CH(2))(15)-SO(3)(-)](3) to mice yielded circulating antiviral activity over a period of 40 h. In conclusion, a simple, hydrophilic reagent has been engineered, synthesized, and studied. Its linkage to peptides and proteins in a monomodified fashion yielded hydrophilic, prolonged acting derivatives, due to their acquired ability to associate with serum albumin after administration. 相似文献

Hybrid SiO2‐coated CdTe/CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were prepared using CdTe/CdSe QDs prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. A CdSe interlayer made CdTe/CdSe cores with unique type II heterostructures. The hybrid SiO2‐coated CdTe/CdSe QDs revealed excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties compared with hybrid SiO2‐coated CdTe QDs. Because of the existence of spatial separations of carriers in the type II CdTe/CdSe core/shell QDs, the hybrid QDs had a relatively extended PL lifetime and high stability in phosphate‐buffered saline buffer solutions. This is ascribed to the unique components and stable surface state of hybrid SiO2‐coated CdTe/CdSe QDs. During the stabilization test in phosphate‐buffered saline buffer solutions, both static and dynamic quenching occurred. The quenching mechanism of the hybrid QDs was not suited with the Stern–Volmer equation. However, the relative stable surface of CdTe/CdSe QDs resulted in lower degradation and relative high PL quantum yields compared with hybrid SiO2‐coated CdTe QDs. As a result, hybrid SiO2‐coated CdTe/CdSe QDs can be used in bioapplications. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Diastereoselective synthesis and characterization of chiral unsymmetrical tris-spirocyclic cyclotriphosphazenes based on chiral 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) are reported. Specifically, the chiral compounds (-)N(3)P(3)[1,1'-O(2)(C(10)H(6))(2)](O-2,2'C(6)H(4)-C(6)H(4)O)Cl(2) [(-)-4] and (-)N(3)P(3)[1,1'-O(2)(C(10)H(6))(2)](OCH(2)CH(2)NMe)(2) [(-)-5] are prepared by starting with the chiral mono-spiro compound (-)N(3)P(3)[1,1'-O(2)(C(10)H(6))(2)]Cl(4) [(-)-3]. Synthesis of four other chiral spirocyclics, N(3)P(3)[1,1'-O(2)(C(10)H(6))(2)](OCH(2)CH(2) NMe)(O-2,2'C(6)H(4)-C(6)H(4)O)[(-)-6 and (+)-6], N(3)P(3)[1,1'-O(2)(C(10)H(6))(2)](NMe(2))(4) [(-)-7], N(3)P(3)[1,1'-O(2)(C(10)H(6))(2)](O-2,2'C(6)H(4)-C(6)H(4)O)(NMeCH(2)CH(2)OH)(2) [(-)-8 and (+)-8], and N(3)P(3)[1,1'-O(2)(C(10)H(6))(2)](O-2,2'C(6)H(4)-C(6)H(4)O)[NHCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)Si(OEt)(3)](2) (9) is also reported herein. Compounds 4-6 are obtained in the solid state diastereoselectively and their X-ray structures have been determined and discussed. The diastereoselectivity is also shown by structural characterization of two distinct isomers in the case of 6 [(-)-6 and (+)-6, respectively] by starting with precursor of 3 having (R) or (S)-BINOL residue. The (1)H NMR spectra of 7 and 8 exhibit doublets with virtual coupling for the methyl protons, consistent with the chiral nature of the binaphthoxy residue. The potential of 9, which hydrolyzes readily in CDCl(3) solution, as a useful precursor for chiral polymer applications is highlighted. 相似文献

The crystal-state conformations of the hexapeptide amide Pht-(Aib)(6)-NH-C(CH(3))(2)-O-OtBu (7), the hexapeptide Ac-L-aIle-(Aib)(5)-OtBu (6), the pentapeptide Z-(Aib)(3)-L-Glu(OtBu)-Aib-O-(CH(2))(2)-(1)Nap (5), the tetrapeptides Z-(Aib)(2)-L-His(N(tau)-Trt)-Aib-OMe (4 I) and Z-(Aib)(2)-L-Nva-Aib-OtBu (4 II), the tripeptide Pyr-(Aib)(3)-OtBu (3 I), the dipeptide amides Pyr-(Aib)(2)-(4)NH-TEMPO (3 II) and Piv-(Aib)(2)-NH-C(CH(3))(2)-O-OtBu (3 III), and the dipeptides Pht-Aib-betaAc(6)c-OtBu (2 I), Pht-Aib-NH-C(CH(3))(2)-O-OtBu (2 II) and Boc-gGly-mAib-OH (2 III) have been determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. All peptides investigated are characterized by one or more turn/helix forming Aib residues. Except the three short dipeptides, all are folded into C==O...H--N intramolecularly H-bonded 3(10)-helices, or into various types of beta-turns. In the structure of 6, two independent molecules of opposite screw sense were observed in the asymmetric unit, generating diastereomeric 3(10)-helices. 相似文献

Single-stranded oligoribonucleotides containing UA and CA phosphodiester bonds can be hydrolyzed specifically under non-enzymatic conditions in the presence of spermidine, a biogenic amine found in a wide variety of organisms. In the present study, the rate of oligonucleotide and tRNA(i)(Met)hydrolysis was measured in the presence of spermidine and other biogenic amines. It was found that spermine [H(3)N(+)(CH(2))(3)(+)NH(2)(CH(2))(4)(+)NH(2)(CH(2))(3)(+)NH(3)] and putrescine [H(3)N(+)(CH(2))(4)(+)NH(3)] can replace spermidine [H(3)N(+)-(CH(2))(4)(+)NH(2)(CH(2))(3)(+)NH(3)] to induce the hydrolysis. For all three polyamines, a bell-shaped cleavage rate versus concentration relationship was observed. The maximum rate of hydrolysis was achieved at 0.1, 1.0 and 10 mM spermine, spermidine and putrescine, respectively. Moreover, we found that the hydrolysis requires at least two linked amino groups since two aminoalcohols, 2-aminoethanol and 3-aminopropanol, were not able to induce the cleavage of the phospho-diester bond. The optimal cleavage rate of the oligo-ribonucleotides was observed when amino groups were separated by tri- or tetramethylene linkers. The methylation of the amino groups reduced the ability of diamines to induce oligoribonucleotide hydrolysis. Non-enzymatic cleavage of tRNA(i)(Met)from Lupinus luteus and tRNA(i)(Met)from Escherichia coli demonstrate that both RNAs hydrolyze as expected from principles derived from oligoribonucleotide models. 相似文献

The synthesis and crystallographic characterization of a series of diiron(II) complexes with sterically hindered terphenyl carboxylate ligands and alkyl amine donors are presented. The compounds [Fe(2)(mu-O(2)CAr(Tol))(4)(L)(2)] (L=NH(2)(CH(2))(2)SBn (1); NH(2)(CH(2))(3)SMe (2); NH(2)(CH(2))(3)CCH (3)), where (-)O(2)CAr(Tol) is 2,6-di(p-tolyl)benzoate, and [Fe(2)(mu-O(2)CAr(Xyl))(2)(O(2)CAr(Xyl))(2)(L)(2)] (L=NH(2)(CH(2))(3)SMe (4); NH(2)(CH(2))(3)CCH (5)), where (-)O(2)CAr(Xyl) is 2,6-di(3,5-dimethylphenyl)benzoate, were prepared as small molecule mimics of the catalytic sites of carboxylate-bridged non-heme diiron enzymes. The compounds with the (-)O(2)CAr(Tol) carboxylate form tetrabridged structures, but those containing the more sterically demanding (-)O(2)CAr(Xyl) ligand have only two bridging ligands. The ancillary nitrogen ligands in these carboxylate-rich complexes incorporate potential substrates for the reactive metal centers. Their oxygenation chemistry was studied by product analysis of the organic fragments following decomposition. Compound 1 reacts with dioxygen to afford PhCHO in approximately 30% yield, attributed to oxidative dealkylation of the pendant benzyl group. Compound 3 decomposes to form Fe(II)Fe(III) and Fe(III)Fe(IV) mixed-valence species by established bimolecular pathways upon exposure to dioxygen at low temperatures. Upon decomposition, the alkyne-substituted amine ligand was recovered quantitatively. When the (-)O(2)CAr(Tol) carboxylate was replaced by the (-)O(2)CAr(Xyl) ligand in 5, different behavior was observed. The six-coordinate iron(III) complex with one bidentate and two monodentate carboxylate ligands, [Fe(O(2)CAr(Xyl))(3)(NH(2)(CH(2))(3)CCH)(2)] (6), was isolated from the reaction mixture following oxidation. 相似文献

Thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of the species formed by dimethyltin(IV) cation with L-cysteine (cys) were studied by potentiometric, calorimetric, UV and NMR investigations in aqueous solution. The resulting speciation model showed the formation of five complex species: (CH(3))(2)Sn(cys)H(+), (CH(3))(2)Sn(cys)(0), (CH(3))(2)Sn(cys)OH(-), (CH(3))(2)Sn(cys)(2)H(-), (CH(3))(2)Sn(cys)(2)(2-). The stability and the formation percentages, for the mononuclear mixed species in particular, are very high, in a wide pH range. Thermodynamic parameters indicate that the enthalpy values are exothermic and the enthalpic contribution to the stability is higher than entropic one. Individual UV spectra of cys and dimethyltin(IV)-cys species were calculated. Spectroscopic results of UV and (1)H NMR investigations fully confirm the speciation model. The structures calculated from NMR investigations show that all the species have an eq-(CH(3))(2)-tbp structure. 相似文献

A procedure for the preparation of the fully reduced Cu(I) form of galactose oxidase, GOase(red), involving reduction of GOase(semi) (or GOase(ox)) with non-coordinating [Ru(NH(3))(6)](2+) (51 mV vs. nhe) is described. Air-free conditions and a two-fold excess of [Ru(NH(3))(6)](2+) give a stable product with no further UV-Vis changes over >1.5 h. Rate constants for the reduction of GOase(semi) (k(f)=860 M(-1) s(-1)) give a first-order [H(+)]-dependence (pK(1a)=7.9), but the reverse process involving [Ru(NH(3))(6)](3+) oxidation of GOase(red) (k(b)=18.6 M(-1) s(-1)) is independent of pH (5.5 to 9.5). The reduction potential E(2)(o)' (vs. nhe) for the GOase(semi)/GOase(red) (i.e. Cu(II)/Cu(I)) couple is 149 mV at pH 7.5, which varies from 160 mV (pH 5.5) to 120 mV (pH 10.5), suggesting pK(1a) (GOase(semi)) and pK(2a) (GOase(red)) acid dissociation constants both involving Tyr-495. It is concluded that pK(2a) is for acid dissociation of uncoordinated H(+)Tyr-495. Consistent with this interpretation rate constants/M(-1) s(-1) for the GOase(semi) Tyr495 Phe variant, k(f)=1.59x10(3) and k(b)=16.1, respectively, are independent of pH and give a reduction potential of 169 mV. Comparisons are made of reduction potentials (E(1)(o)'/mV pH 7.5) for the GOase(ox)/GOase(semi) (i.e. Tyr(.)/Tyr) couple, and are for the Cys228Gly variant (630), for enzyme with N(3)(-) for H(2)O at the substrate binding exogenous site (393), and for apo-protein (570). These compare with previously reported values for the variants Trp290His (730) and Tyr495Phe (450), and together serve to quantify different contributions to the unusually small E(1)(o)' of 400 mV for the Tyr(.)/Tyr couple. At pH 7.5 the reduction potential for the two-equivalent GOase(ox)/GOase(red) couple is calculated to be 275 mV. The rate constant for the reaction of GOase(red) with GOase(ox) is 4.4x10(3) M(-1) s(-1) at pH 7.5. 相似文献

Four imidazolate-bridged binuclear copper(II)-copper(II) and copper(II)-zinc(II) complexes viz., [(Bipy)(2)Cu-Im-Cu(Bipy)(2)](ClO(4))(3).CH(3)OH, [(Phen)(2)Cu-Im-Cu(Phen)(2)](BF(4))(3).2CH(3)OH, [(Bipy)(2)Cu-Im-Zn(Bipy)(2)](BF(4))(3), and [(Phen)(2)Cu-Im-Zn(Phen)(2)](BF(4))(3), (Bipy=2,2'-Bipyridyl, Phen=1-10-Phenanthroline and Im=imidazolate ion) were synthesized as a possible models for superoxide dismutase (SOD). Complex [(Bipy)(2)Cu-Im-Cu(Bipy)(2)](ClO(4))(3).CH(3)OH has been structurally characterized. This complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, with the unit parameters a=8.88(5) A, b=13.79(17) A, c=20.18(18) A, alpha=76.424(8)(o), beta=85.888(6)(o), gamma=82.213(7). The metal-nitrogen bond length from 1.972-2.273 A and the distance Cu-Cu is 5.92 A. The five-coordinate geometry about the copper(II) ion is square pyramidal. Magnetic moment and electron paramagnetic resonance (e.p.r.) spectral measurements of the homobinuclear complexes have shown an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction. From the e.p.r. and UV-Vis spectral measurement studies, these complexes have been found to be stable (pH 8.5-10.5 for 1, 10.5 for 2,3 and 8.5 for 4). These complexes catalyse the dismutation of superoxide radical (O(2)(-)) at biological pH. All the observations indicate that these complexes act as good possible models for superoxide dismutase. 相似文献

We describe a non-labeled electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor based on CdSe quantum dots (QDs) for the detection of human prealbumin (PAB, antigen). The immunosensor was fabricated by layer by layer coupled with nanoparticle-amplification techniques. After two gold nanoparticle layers were self-assembled onto the gold electrode surface through cysteamine, anti-PAB (antibody) were conjugated with -COOH groups of both the CdSe QDs and cysteine, which were linked to the gold nanoparticle-modified electrode. The principle of ECL detection was that the immunocomplex inhibited the ECL reaction between CdSe QDs and K(2)S(2)O(8), which resulted in the decrease of ECL intensity. On the one hand, the immunocomplex increased the steric hindrance. On the other hand, the immunocomplex maybe inhibit the transfer of K(2)S(2)O(8) to the surface of the CdSe QD-electrode. The PAB concentration was determined in the range of 5.0 x 10(-10) to 1.0 x 10(-6) g mL(-1), and the detection limit was 1.0 x 10(-11) g mL(-1). The developed CdSe QD-based ECL immunosensor provides a rapid, simple, and sensitive immunoassay protocol for protein detection, which could be applied in more bioanalytical systems. 相似文献

The reactions of phosphine Ph(2)P(CH(2))(2)SO(3)Na with Cp(2)M'Cl(2) (M'=Ti, Zr) in aqueous solution give the metallophosphines, Cp(2)Ti(OSO(2)(CH(2))(2)PPh(2))(2) (Cp=cyclopentadienyl) and CpZr(OH)(OSO(2)(CH(2))(2)PPh(2))(2). These react with CODM"Cl(2) (M"=Pd, Pt) (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene) in dichloromethane to give heterobimetallic complexes Cp(2)Ti(OSO(2)(CH(2))(2)PPh(2))(2)M"Cl(2) and CpZr(OH)(OSO(2)(CH(2))(2) PPh(2))(2)M"Cl(2) respectively. The compounds are characterised by infrared and NMR spectroscopies and elemental analysis. Electrospray mass spectra of the complexes are reported and compared to those of Cp(2)M'Cl(2) in water and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). For zirconocene dichloride and its product heterobimetallic complexes, the addition of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt (Na(2)H(2)EDTA) was found to be an effective ionisation enhancement agent for the electrospray mass spectral studies. Cytotoxicity studies for the previously reported Cl(2)Pt(PPh(2)(CH(2))(2)SO(3)H)(2).3.5H(2)O (Wedgwood et al., Inorg. Chim. Acta 290 (1999) 189), and the compounds Cp(2)Ti(OSO(2)(CH(2))(2) PPh(2))(2).1.5H(2)O and Cp(2)Ti(OSO(2)(CH(2))(2)PPh(2))(2)PtCl(2).4H(2)O reported here, have been evaluated by colony formation assay against cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant cell lines L929 and L929/R to highlight potential chemotherapeutic activity. The compound Cl(2)Pt(PPh(2)(CH(2))(2)SO(3)H)(2).3.5H(2)O overcomes cisplatin resistance. 相似文献

Band gap tunable cadmium selenide (CdSe) quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized within earthworms that emit in the middle of the visible spectrum. We demonstrated that this luminescence emission is a combination of the earthworm's protein and QD luminescence, such that the contribution of QDs in the luminescence was negligible. Eisenia fetida earthworms were used for QD biosynthesis and were exposed to different concentrations of CdCl2 and Na2SeO3 in standard soil for an adequate exposure time. The size of the CdSe QDs based on the effective mass model was in agreement with the size measured from the transmission electron microscopy analysis, with an average diameter of 7 nm. Ultraviolet–visible and photoluminescence analyses confirmed the synthesis of CdSe QDs with unique absorption and luminescence at 430 nm and 605 nm, respectively. 相似文献

Diiron model complexes (micro-SCH(2)CH(2)CH(2)S)Fe(2)(CO)(5)L with thioether-substitution, L=S(CH(2)CH(3))(2) (2), S(CH(2)CH(3))(CH(2)CH(2)Cl) (3), S(CH(2)CH(3))(C(6)H(5)) (4), or sulfoxide-substitution, L=SO(CH(2)CH(2)CH(3))(2) (5), SO(CH(3))(2) (6), were synthesized as active site analogues of Fe-only hydrogenase. The organosulfur ligands were introduced into the diiron centers via moderately stable intermediates following two routes. The X-ray crystallographic structures of complexes 2-6 show the apical positions of terminal organosulfur ligands. The electrochemical behaviors of the model complexes were investigated, especially for the interesting properties of the derivative of 6 which is proposed to be the first model with weak donor ligand similar to CO. 相似文献

Cell chip was recently developed as a simple and highly sensitive tool for the toxicity assessment of various kinds of chemicals or nano-materials. Here, we report newly discovered potential cytotoxic effects of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) on intracellular redox environment of neural cancer cells at very low concentrations which can be only detected by cell chip technology. Green (2.1 nm in diameter) and red (6.3 nm in diameter) QDs capped with cysteamine (CA) or thioglycolic acid (TA) were found to be toxic at 100 μg/mL when assessed by trypan blue and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). However, in case of concentration-dependent cytotoxicity, toxic effects of TA-capped QDs on human neural cells were only measured by DPV method when conventional MTT assay did not show toxicity of TA-capped QDs at low concentrations (1-10 μg/mL). Red-TA QDs and Green-TA QDs were found to decrease electrochemical signals from cells at 10 μg/mL and 5 μg/mL, respectively, while cell viability decreased at 100 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL when assessed by MTT assay, respectively. The relative decreases of cell viability determined by MTT assay were 15% and 11.9% when cells were treated with 5-50 μg/mL of Red-TA QDs and 5-30 μg/mL of Green-TA QDs, respectively. However, DPV signals decreased 37.5% and 39.2% at the same concentration range, respectively. This means that redox environment of cells is more sensitive than other components and can be easily affected by CdSe/ZnS QDs even at low concentrations. Thus, our proposed neural cell chip can be applied to detect potential cytotoxicity of various kinds of molecular imaging agents simply and accurately. 相似文献

In this work, CdSe quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized by a simple and rapid microwave activated approach using CdSO4, Na2SeO3 as precursors and thioglycolic acid (TGA) as capping agent molecule. A novel photochemical approach was introduced for the growth of CdS QDs and this approach was used to grow a CdS shell around CdSe cores for the formation of a CdSe/CdS core–shell structure. The core–shells were structurally verified using X‐ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and FTIR (Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR)) spectroscopy. The optical properties of the samples were examined by means of UV–Vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. It was found that CdS QDs emit a broad band white luminescence between 400 to 700 nm with a peak located at about 510 nm. CdSe QDs emission contained a broad band resulting from trap states between 450 to 800 nm with a peak located at 600 nm. After CdS shell growth, trap states emission was considerably quenched and a near band edge emission was appeared about 480 nm. Optical studies revealed that the core–shell QDs possess strong ultraviolet (UV) ? visible light photocatalytic activity. CdSe/CdS core–shell QDs, showed an enhancement in photodegradation of Methyl orange (MO) compared with CdSe QDs. 相似文献

We have previously reported the asymmetric synthesis of (alpha-aminoalkyl) diphenylphosphonate and phosphinate derivatives designed as inhibitors of chymotrypsin- and elastase-like proteases. This paper reports the first kinetic evaluation of individual epimers of the (alpha-aminoalkyl) diphenylphosphonates as inactivators of chymotrypsin, cathepsin G and neutrophil elastase (HNE). Results show that the (R)-epimers consistently function as more potent irreversible inactivators of their respective target proteases than the corresponding (S)-epimers. Additionally, phosphinate analogues were found to be consistently superior to their diphenylphosphonate counterparts. For example, Cbz. Phe(P)(OPh)-(CH(2))(2)-CO(2)Et inactivates cathepsin G approximately 45-fold more rapidly (k(i)/K(i) = 1.2 x 10(5) M(-1). min(-1)) than the analogous Cbz.Phe(P)(OPh)(2) (2.6 x 10(3) M(-1). min(-1)). Similarly, Cbz.Val(P)(OPh)-(CH(2))(2)-CO(2)Et was found to inactivate HNE some 3-fold more efficiently than Cbz.Val(P)(OPh)(2) (6.5 x 10(3) and 2.0 x 10(3) M(-1). min(-1), respectively). 相似文献

The complexes [M(L(1))(2)(NO(3))] and [M(L(2))(NO(3))(2)](M = Pr, Er; L(1)= the tetradentate ligand dihydrobis-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolyl]borate; L(2)= the hexadentate ligand hydrotris-[3-(2-pyridyl)pyrazolyl]borate) were prepared and their structural and photophysical properties studied. All complexes are 10-coordinate. Crystallographic analysis of [M(L(1))(2)(NO(3))](M = Pr, Er) showed that for the smaller Er(iii) ions steric congestion at the metal centre results in two of the Er-N(pyridyl) distances being particularly long, which does not occur with the larger Pr(iii) ion that is better able to accommodate 10-fold coordination. On UV irradiation, both Pr(iii) complexes show, in the visible region of their luminescence spectra, transitions originating from both the (3)P(0) level (at ca. 21,000 cm(-1)) and the (1)D(2) level (at ca. 17,000 cm(-1)), a consequence of the fact that the lowest triplet state of the coordinated pyrazolylborate ligands lies at ca. 24,000 cm(-1) in each case so is high enough in energy to populate both levels. This contrasts with Pr(iii) complexes based on diketonate ligands in which the lower triplet energies of the ligands result in emission from the (1)D(2) level only. At longer wavelengths, near-infrared luminescence arising from the (1)D(2) emissive level is observed with lifetimes (in both the solid state and solution) being in the range 50-110 ns. For both Er(iii) complexes, luminescence at 1530 nm occurs following UV excitation of ligand-centred transitions. In CH(2)Cl(2) both complexes gave dual-exponential luminescence, with the major component having a lifetime characteristic of an intact Er(iii) complex (approximately 1.5 micros) and the minor component being much shorter lived (0.2-0.5 micros), suggestive of a species in which a ligand is partially detached and the metal is solvated, with the two forms interconverting slowly. This behaviour is consistent with the steric congestion and long M-N(pyridyl) bonds that were observed in [Er(L(1))(2)(NO(3))]. In the solid state both Er(iii) complexes gave very weak luminescence, which could be fitted to a single exponential decay with a lifetime similar to the longer-lived of the solution components. 相似文献

The organometallic precursor (NEt(4))(2)[ReBr(3)(CO)(3)] was reacted with bidendate dithioethers (L) of the general formula H(3)C-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-R (R = -CH(2)CH(2)COOH, CH(2)-C&tbd1;CH) and R'-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-R' (R' = CH(3)CH(2)-, CH(3)CH(2)-OH, and CH(2)COOH) in methanol to form stable rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes of the general composition [ReBr(CO)(3)L]. Under these conditions, the functional groups do not participate in the coordination. As a prototypic representative of this type of Re compounds, the propargylic group bearing complex [ReBr(CO(3))(H(3)C-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)C&tbd1;CH)] Re2 was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. Its molecular structure exhibits a slightly distorted octahedron with facial coordination of the carbonyl ligands. The potentially tetradentate ligand HO-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-OH was reacted with the trinitrato precursor [Re(NO(3))(3)(CO)(3)](2-) to yield a cationic complex [Re(CO)(3)(HO-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-OH)]NO(3) Re8 which shows the coordination of one hydroxy group. Re8 has been characterized by correct elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, capillary electrophoresis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. Ligand exchange reaction of the carboxylic group bearing ligands H(3)C-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-COOH and HOOC-CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)-COOH with (NEt(4))(2)[ReBr(3)(CO)(3)] in water and with equimolar amounts of NaOH led to complexes in which the bromide is replaced by the carboxylic group. The X-ray structure analysis of the complex [Re(CO)(3)(OOC-CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)-COOH)] Re6 shows the second carboxylic group noncoordinated offering an ideal site for functionalization or coupling a biomolecule. The no-carrier-added preparation of the analogous (99m)Tc(I) carbonyl thioether complexes could be performed using the precursor fac-[(99m)Tc(H(2)O)(3)(CO)(3)](+), with yields up to 90%. The behavior of the chlorine containing (99m)Tc complex [(99m)TcCl(CO)(3)(CH(3)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(3))] Tc1 in aqueous solution at physiological pH value was investigated. In saline, the chromatographically separated compound was stable for at least 120 min. However, in chloride-free aqueous solution, a water-coordinated cationic species Tc1a of the proposed composition [(99m)Tc(H(2)O)(CO)(3)(CH(3)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(3))](+) occurred. The cationic charge of the conversion product was confirmed by capillary electrophoresis. By the introduction of a carboxylic group into the thioether ligand as a third donor group, the conversion could be suppressed and thus the neutrality of the complex preserved. Biodistribution studies in the rat demonstrated for the neutral complexes [(99m)TcCl(CO)(3)(CH(3)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(3))] Tc1 and [(99m)TcCl(CO)(3)(CH(2)-S-CH(2)CH(2)-S-CH(2)-C&tbd1;CH)] Tc2 a significant initial brain uptake (1.03 +/- 0.25% and 0.78 +/- 0.08% ID/organ at 5 min. p.i.). Challenge experiments with glutathione clearly indicated that no transchelation reaction occurs in vivo. 相似文献
