Abstract

Addition of amino acids, glycine, alanine, and serine, to poorly soluble copper(II) salts [copper(II) citrate and copper(II) succinate] all increase solubility of the copper(II) salts. Relative increases in solubility follow the polarity trend in the selected amino acids, with serine creating the greatest increase in solubility. Simultaneous equilibria calculations indicate the formation of mixed-ligand complexes in the copper(II) succinate–amino acid systems, the first time such mixed-ligand complexes have been observed. In contrast, mixed-ligand complexes are not predicted in the copper(II) citrate–amino acid systems. Potential bioavailability of copper(II) appears to be increased by the inclusion of amino acids in solution, roughly in parallel with the increase in solubility of the copper(II) salt. Therefore, measurement of the change in solubility caused by addition of amino acids to aqueous solution gives qualitative insight to the potential increase in bioavailability of the metal ion.  相似文献

The superoxide anion radical is a highly reactive toxic species produced during the metabolic processes. A number of copper (II) complexes with amino acids and peptides are known to show superoxide dismutase (SOD) like activity. The design and application of synthetic low molecular weight metal complexes as SOD mimics have received considerable attention during the last decade. A variety of di- and tri-peptides containing histidyl residue in different positions have been employed to bind Cu(II) and to show the activity. But reports on Cu(II) complex with tetra-peptide having histidine amino acid in this regard are limited. As the HGGGW peptide having His at its N-terminal is reported to be a potential moiety for Cu(2+) binding, in the present work the synthesis of HisGlyGlyTrp peptide and its complexation with copper (II) ions has been reported. The interaction of synthesized peptide with Cu(II) was studied by electron spray ionization-mass spectrometer (ESI-MS) and UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. The species distribution was studied by combined spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods. The studies were performed at 25 ± 0.1 °C with constant ionic strength (μ = 0.1 M NaNO(3)) in aqueous solution using Bjerrum-Calvin's pH-titration technique as adopted by Irving and Rossotti for binary systems. The solution studies suggested that the pH of the medium play important role in the different species formation of the copper complexes. Species distribution curves indicate that Cu complexation takes place at all physiological pH values from 3-11. The resultant copper (II) peptide complex at physiological pH was tested for superoxide dismutase activity using standard NBT method. The complex has SOD activity with the IC(50) value of 1.32 μM.  相似文献

Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of individual mixed-ligand copper(II) complexes of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, (1S)- or (1R)-3-hydroxymethylene camphor, (1S)-3-trifluoroacetyl camphor, or (1R)-2-hydroxymethylene menthone, and α-amino acids, alanine, valine, proline, or their N-alkyl derivatives, were calculated from CD spectra of equilibrium solutions containing the above constituents in methanol or ethylene dichloride. Diastereomeric mixed-ligand complexes incorporating identical dicarbonyl but enantiomeric N-alkyl-α-amino acid ligands exhibit quasi-enantiomeric CD spectra. Unsubstituted amino acids, on the contrary, will make no decisive contributions to the net optical activity spectrum of the mixed-ligand complexes. Formation constants of diastereomeric mixed-ligand complexes have been calculated from data on disproportionation of the latter into corresponding equally paired complexes. Enantioselectivity was demonstrated to amount to up to 700 cal/mol. Possible steric structures of mixed-ligand complexes are discussed. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The Cu(II) complexes of tridentate amino acids and related amines in alkaline solution were studied by EPR spectroscopy. Line shapes, g∥ and A∥ of each amino acid complex were compared with those of the corresponding amine complex. The results indicate that aromatic amino acids, monoaminodicarboxylic amino acids, arginine, methionine, and lysine bind to Cu(II) via the amino and carboxyl α groups. On the other hand cysteine, 2-3-diaminopropionic acid and hydroxy amino acids appear to be coordinated through the α-amino group and the third potentially binding group. Evidence is presented for the formation of mixed complexes in the cases of histidine and 2-4-diaminobutyric acid, whereas a glycine-like complex with apical coordination of the δ-amino groups is proposed for the ornithine-Cu(II) complex.  相似文献

We report studies on the interaction of some zinc(II) and copper(II) complexes of amines and amino acids with poly(dC-dG) and poly(dm5C-dG). Of the zinc complexes the species zinc-tris(2-aminoethyl) amine is found to be the most efficient for inducing Z-DNA giving a mid point at low ionic strength of 1.4 microM (poly(dC-dG] and 44nM (poly(dm5C-dG). While an antagonistic effect on raising the ionic strength is observed, the transition occurs at only 2 microM for poly(dm5C-dG) at 150mM NaCl. The most efficient copper(II) complex is that of diethylene triamine, though copper(II) complexes are generally less efficient than zinc(II) complexes. We also report kinetic and thermodynamic studies upon the B-Z transition induced by these complexes. A model is proposed for the interaction of one of the zinc complexes which involves not only direct zinc-DNA binding but also the formation of hydrogen bonds between the metal bond amine groups and the residues adjacent to the coordination site.  相似文献

DNA-fiber EPR spectroscopy and its application to studies of the DNA binding orientation and dynamic properties of Cu(II) ions and their complexes with amino acids and peptides are reviewed. Cu(II) ions bind in at least two different binding modes; one mode was mobile while the other mode fixed the orientation of the coordination plane. The hydroxyl groups of L-Ser and L-Thr fixed the coordination plane of their respective Cu(II) complexes parallel to the DNA base pair plane, whereas Cu(II) complexes of Lys and Arg induced several binding modes, depending on the tertiary structure of the DNA and the chirality of the amino acids. Unusually broadened signals observed for the His complex were assigned to a mono-L-His complex stacked stereospecifically along the DNA double helix. In comparison, Cu(II). Xaa-Xaa' -His type complexes oriented in the minor groove with different affinities and extents of randomness depending on the Xaa-Xaa' sequence and the chirality of Xaa or Xaa' while the C-terminal Xaa residues in Cu(II).Arg-Gly-His-Xaa (Xaa=L-Leu or L-Glu) decreased the stereospecificity and the stability of the complexes bound to DNA. In contrast to Xaa-Xaa'- His complexes, the coordination planes of Cu(II).Gly-L-His-Gly and Cu(II).Gly-L-His-L-Lys complexes were found to lie parallel to the DNA-fiber axis. Dinuclear Cu(II).carnosine complexes were also shown to bind to DNA stereospecifically.  相似文献

Copper(II) complexes with glycyl-DL-alpha-amino-n-butyric acid (H2gly-DL-but), glycyl-DL-valine (H2gly-DL-val), glycyl-DL-norleucine (H2gly-DL-norleu), glycyl-DL-threonine (H2gly-DL-thr), glycyl-DL-serine (H2gly-DL-ser), glycyl-DL-phenylalanine (H2gly-DL-phe), and glycyl-L-valine (H2gly-L-val), have been prepared and characterized by IR, powder diffuse reflection, CD and ORD spectra, and magnetic susceptibility measurements, and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structures of the copper complex with H2gly-DL-but, the copper complex with H2gly-DL-val, and [Cu(gly-L-val)]n.0.5nH2O have been determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. As for the structure of the copper complex with H2gly-DL-but, the configuration around the asymmetric carbon atom is similar to that of [Cu(gly-L-val)]n.0.5nH2O. Therefore it is concluded that the copper complex with H2gly-DL-but is [Cu(gly-L-but)]n.nH2O. On the contrary, as for the structure of the copper complex with H2gly-DL-val, the configuration around the asymmetric carbon atom is different from that of [Cu(gly-L-val)]n.0.5nH2O. Therefore it is concluded that the copper complex with H2gly-dl-val is [Cu(gly-D-val)]n.0.5nH2O. So during the crystallization of the copper(II) complexes with H2gly-DL-but and H2gly-DL-val, spontaneous resolution has been observed; the four complexes have separated as [Cu(gly-D-but)]n.nH2O, [Cu(gly-L-but)]n.nH2O, [Cu(gly-D-val)]n.0.5nH2O, and [Cu(gly-L-val)]n.0.5nH2O, respectively. [Cu(gly-L-but)]n.nH2O is orthorhombic with the space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). [Cu(gly-D-val)]n.0.5nH2O and [Cu(gly-L-val)]n.0.5nH2O are monoclinic with the space group C2. In these complexes, the copper atom is in a square-pyramidal geometry, ligated by a peptide nitrogen atom, an amino nitrogen atom, a carboxyl oxygen atom, and a carboxyl oxygen atom and a peptide oxygen atom from neighboring molecules. So these complexes consist of a two-dimensional polymer chain bridged by a carboxyl oxygen atom and a peptide oxygen atom from neighboring molecules. The axial oxygen atom is located above the basal plane and the side chain of an amino acid is located below it. These polymer chains consist of only one or the other type of optical isomers; no racemic dipeptides are found. Therefore, spontaneous resolution has been observed in the crystallization of copper(II) complexes with H2gly-DL-but and H2gly-DL-val. The crystal structure of [Cu(gly-D-val)]n.0.5nH2O agrees almost completely with that of [Cu(gly-L-val)]n.0.5nH2O, except for the configuration around the asymmetric carbon atom.  相似文献

Cu in blood has been believed to transport into cell via albumin and some amino acids. To shed light on the Cu transport process we studied the reaction of the Cu(II)-peptide with the amino acid by absorption and CD spectra. Albumin mimic peptides GlyGly-L-HisGly (GGHG) and penta-Gly(G5) formed stable 4N coordinated Cu(II) complexes, but in the reaction with histidine (His) and penicillamine (Pes) the ternary Cu(II) complex formations were observed different by the kinetic study. Cu(II)-G5 complexes reacted with Pes to form the ternary complex Cu(H(-1)G5)(Pes(-)) which was subsequently transformed to the binary complex Cu(Pes(-))(2). In the system with GGHG the Cu(II) was also transported from GGHG to Pes, but the ternary Cu(H(-1)GGHG)(Pes(-)) complex as the intermediate was detected a trace. The ternary complex would be spontaneously transformed to Cu(Pes(-))(2) upon forming, because the rate constant of the ternary complex formation k(1+)= approximately 2M(-1)s(-1) was less than k(2+)= approximately 5 x 10(2)M(-1)s(-1) for the Cu(Pes(-))(2) formation at physiological pH. In the Cu(II)-GGHG-His system the ternary Cu(H(-1)GGHG)(His) complex was also hardly identified because the formation constant K(1) and k(1+) were very small and the equilibrium existed between Cu(H(-2)GGHG) and Cu(His)(2) and its overall equilibrium constant beta(2) for Cu(His)(2) was very small to be 1.00+/-0.05 M(-1) at pH 9.0. These results indicated that the ternary complex is formed in the Cu transport process from the albumin to the amino acid, but His imidazole nitrogen in the fourth-binding site of Cu(II) strongly resists the replacement by the incoming ligand.  相似文献

Copper(II) complexes of dipeptides of histidine containing additional chelating bis(imidazol-2-yl) agent at the C-termini (PheHis-BIMA [N-phenylalanyl-histidyl-bis(imidazol-2-yl)methylamine] and HisPhe-BIMA [N-histidyl-phenylalanyl-bis(imidazol-2-yl)methylamine]) were studied by potentiometric, UV-Visible and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) techniques. The imidazole nitrogen donor atoms of the bis(imidazol-2-yl)methyl group are described as the primary metal binding sites forming stable mono- and bis(ligand) complexes at acidic pH. The formation of a ligand-bridged dinuclear complex [Cu2L2]4+ is detected in equimolar solutions of copper(II) and HisPhe-BIMA. The coordination isomers of the dinuclear complex are described via the metal binding of the bis(imidazol-2-yl)methyl, amino-carbonyl and amino-imidazole(His) functions. In the case of the copper(II)-PheHis-BIMA system the [NH2, N-(amide), N(Im)] tridentate coordination of the ligand is favoured and results in the formation of di- and trinuclear complexes [Cu2H(-1)L]3+ and [Cu3H(-2)L2]4+ in equimolar solutions. The presence of these coordination modes shifts the formation of "tripeptide-like" ([NH2, N-, N-, N(Im)]-coordinated) [CuH(-2)L] complexes into alkaline pH range as compared to other dipeptide derivatives of bis(imidazol-2-yl) ligands. Although there are different types of imidazoles in these ligands, the deprotonation and coordination of the pyrrole-type N(1)H groups does not occur below pH 10.  相似文献

Due to ease of formation of cyanide under prebiotic conditions, cyanide ion might have formed stable complexes with transition metal ions on the primitive earth. In the course of chemical evolution insoluble metal cyano complexes, which settled at the bottom of primeval sea could have formed peptide and metal amino acid complexes through adsorption processes of amino acids onto these metal cyano complexes.Adsorption of amino acids such as glycine, aspartic acid, and histidine on copper ferrocyanide and zinc ferrocyanide have been studied over a wide pH range of 3.6 – 8.5. Amino acids were adsorbed on the metal ferrocyanide complexes for different time periods. The progress of the adsorption was followed spectro-photometrically using ninhydrin reagent. Histidine was found to show maximum adsorption on both the adsorbents at neutral pH. Zinc ferrocyanide exhibits good sorption behaviour for all the three amino acids used in these investigations.  相似文献

Cu(II) binding to the alpha prion protein (alphaPrP) can be both intramolecular and intermolecular. X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the copper K-edge has been used to explore the site geometry under each binding mode using both insoluble polymeric Cu(II).alphaBoPrP-(24-242) (bovine PrP) complexes and soluble Cu(II) complexes of peptides containing one, two, and four copies of the octarepeat. Analysis of the extended region of the spectra using a multiple scattering approach revealed two types of sites differing in the number of His residues in the first coordination shell of Cu(II). Peptides containing one and two-octarepeat copies in sub-stoichiometric Cu(II) complexes showed the direct binding of a single His in accord with crystallographic intra-repeat geometry. Alternatively, the polymeric Cu(II).alphaBoPrP-(24-242) complex and Cu(II) in its soluble complex with a four-octarepeat peptide at half-site-occupancy showed Cu(II) directly bound to two His residues, consistent with an inter-repeat binding mode. Increasing the Cu(II) site occupancy from 0.5 to 0.75 in the peptide containing four octarepeats resulted in spectral features that are intermediate to those of the inter- and intra-repeat modes. The transition from His-Cu-His (inter-repeat) to Cu-His (intra-repeat) on increasing Cu(II) saturation offers a structural basis for the positive cooperativity of the cation binding process and explains the capacity of alphaPrP to participate in Cu(II)-mediated intermolecular interactions.  相似文献

Chitosan (CS) gel beads were prepared by using phase inversion and precipitation technique. The gel beads could bind copper (II), by which Cu (II) ion-immobilized chitosan gel beads (CS-Cu2+ gel beads) were prepared, and the amount of the immobilized Cu (II) was about 35 mg/g when the CS gel beads were incubated in 150 ppm cupric sulfate solution. The CS-Cu2+ gel beads could selectively adsorb histidine (His) from the mixed solution containing His and tryptophan (Trp); and the selective coefficient which was defined as the adsorbed amount ratio of His to Trp was about 8.0 at the pH value of 7.4. The effect of the pH value on the amino acid adsorption was also studied. In order to investigate the relationship of the amino acid adsorption and protein adsorption, the adsorbed amounts for IgG and albumin were determined; and the results indicated that the CS-Cu2+ gel beads could adsorb a larger amount of IgG than albumin due to the larger amount of the exposed residual His. The study provided a sorbent and a method to selectively remove His and IgG.  相似文献

A series of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes involving a tridentate O,N,O'-donor Schiff base derived from salicylaldehyde and beta-alanine {i.e. N-salicylidene-beta-alanine(2-), (L)}, having the composition [Cu(2)(L)(2)(H(2)O)].H(2)O (1), [Cu(L)(H(2)O)](n) (2), and [Zn(L)(H(2)O)](n) (3), have been prepared and characterized by elemental analyses, UV-visible (UV-VIS), FT-IR and ESI-MS spectra, and thermal analyses. Complexes 1 and 2 have been investigated by single crystal X-ray analysis and also by temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements (294-80K). All prepared complexes have been evaluated by the antiperoxynitrite activity assay and alloxan-induced diabetes model. The significant antioxidant and antidiabetic activities have been found in the case of both copper(II) complexes 1 and 2. In spite of first two complexes, the zinc(II) complex 3, as well as the potassium salt of the ligand (KHL) showed only insignificant protective effect against the tyrosine nitration in vitro.  相似文献

Formation equilibria of copper(II) complexes of 2-(aminomethyl)-benzimidazole (AMBI) and the ternary complexes Cu(AMBI)L (L = amino acid, amide, dicarboxylic acid or DNA constituents) have been investigated. Ternary complexes of amino acids or amides are formed by a simultaneous mechanism. Amino acids form the complex Cu(AMBI)L, whereas amides form two complex species Cu(AMBI)L and Cu(AMBI)(LH−1). The ternary complexes of copper(II) with AMBI and dicarboxylic acids or DNA units are formed by a stepwise mechanism, whereby binding of copper(II) to AMBI is followed by ligation of the dicarboxylic acids or DNA components. The values of Δ log K indicate that the ternary complexes containing aromatic amino acids are significantly more stable than the complexes containing alkyl- and hydroxyalkyl-substituted amino acids. This may be taken as an evidence for a stacking interaction between the aromatic moiety of AMBI and the aromatic side chains of the bio-active ligands. The solid complexes Cu(AMBI)L where L = 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid (CBDCA) and malonic acid were separated and identified by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy and magnetic moment. The decomposition course and steps for the isolated complexes were analyzed and the kinetic parameters of the non-isothermal decomposition were calculated. The hydrolysis of glycine methyl ester (MeGly) is catalyzed by the Cu(AMBI)2+ complex. The kinetic data is fitted assuming that the hydrolysis reaction proceeds in two steps. The first step, involving coordination of the amino acid ester by the amino and carbonyl groups, is followed by rate-determining attack by OH ion. The second step involves the equilibrium formation of the hydroxo-complex Cu(AMBI)(MeGly)(OH) followed by intramolecular OH attack.  相似文献

In this paper are presented the features of copper (II) and zinc (II) heteronuclear complexes of the cyclic peptide—c(HKHGPG)2. The coordination properties of ligand were studied by potentiometric, UV–Vis and CD spectroscopic methods. These experiments were carried out in aqueous solutions at 298 K depending on pH. It turned out that in a physiological pH dominates Cu(II)/Zn(II) complex ([CuZnL]4+) which could mimic the active center of superoxide dismutase (Cu,ZnSOD). In next step we performed in vitro research on Cu,ZnSOD activity for [CuZnL]4+ complex existing in 7.4 pH by the method of reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT). Also mono- and di-nuclear copper (II) complexes of this ligand were examined. The ability of inhibition free radical reaction were compared for all complexes. The results of these studies show that Cu(II) mono-, di-nuclear and Cu(II)/Zn(II) complexes becoming to new promising synthetic superoxide dismutase mimetics, and should be considered for further biological assays.  相似文献

The N-terminal, extracellular regions of eukaryotic high affinity copper transport (Ctr) proteins vary in composition of the Cu(i) binding amino acids: methionine, histidine, and cysteine. To examine why certain amino acids are exploited over others in Ctrs from different organisms, the relative Cu(i) binding affinity and the dependence of binding on pH were examined for 3 peptides of the sequence MG(2)XG(2)MK, where X is either Met, His, or Cys. Cu(i) affinity was examined using an ascorbic acid oxidation assay, an electrospray ionization mass spectrometry technique, and spectrophotometric titration with a competitive Cu(i) chelator. The relative affinities of the peptides with Cu(i) reveal a trend whereby Cys > His > Met at pH 7.4 and Cys > Met > His at pH 4.5. Ligand geometry and metric parameters were determined with X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Susceptibility of the peptides to oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and copper-catalyzed oxidative conditions was evaluated by mass spectrometry. These results support hypotheses as to why certain Cu(i) binding amino acids are preferred over others in proteins expressed at different pH and exposed to oxidative environments. The results also have implications for interpreting site-directed mutagenesis studies aimed at identifying copper binding amino acids in copper trafficking proteins.  相似文献

Herein we present the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization of coordination compounds of cobalt(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) with 2-methylbenzimidazole (2mbz), 2-phenylbenzimidazole (2phbz), 2-chlorobenzimidazole (2cbz), 2-benzimidazolecarbamate (2cmbz) and 2-guanidinobenzimidazole (2gbz). Their cytotoxic activity was evaluated using human cancer cell lines, PC3 (prostate), MCF-7 (breast), HCT-15 (colon), HeLa (cervic-uterine), SKLU-1 (lung) and U373 (glioblastoma), showing that the zinc(II) and copper(II) compounds [Zn(2mbz)2Cl2]·0.5H2O, [Zn(2cmbz)2Cl2]·EtOH, [Cu(2cmbz)Br2]·0.7H2O and [Cu(2gbz)Br2] had significant cytotoxic activity. The isostructural cobalt(II) complexes showed not significant activity. The cytotoxic activity is related to the presence of halides in the coordination sphere of the metal ion. Recuperation experiments with HeLa cells, showed that the cells recuperated after removing the copper(II) compounds and, on the contrary, the cells treated with the zinc(II) compounds did not. These results indicate that the mode of action of the coordination compounds is different.  相似文献

A series of new mixed-ligand neutral copper(II) complexes of the general type [Cu(amine)(i-MNT)] and [Cu(tz)(i-MNT)] was prepared and characterized by elemental, spectroscopic methods, μeff, Λμ measurements and molecular modeling studies. The acute toxicity, the cytogenetic and the in vivo antitumor activity of the new complexes, is related to their chemical and physicochemical properties. Among the Cu(II) compounds tested the complex with 2-amino-5-methyl thiazole increases significantly the life span of leukemia P388 bearing mice in vivo.  相似文献
