    Selective Inactivation of Serine Proteases by Nonheme Iron Complexes

    No full text
    Oxidative inactivation of the serine proteases trypsin and chymotrypsin by nonheme iron complexes is described. The nonheme ligands N4Py (1) and derivative 3CG-N4Py (2), which contains a pendant guanidinium group, were used as ligands for iron. Ferryl (FeIVO) species derived from these ligands, [FeIV(O)(N4Py)]2+ (7) and [FeIV(O)(3CG-N4Py)]3+ (8), inactivate trypsin and chymotrypsin by the oxidation of amino acid side chains. Ferryl 8 is most effective with chymotrypsin (IC50 value of 26 μM for 8 vs 119 μM for 7). IC50 values of 71 and 54 μM were obtained for trypsin with 7 and 8, respectively. Amino acid analysis confirmed that residues cysteine, tyrosine, and tryptophan are oxidized under these conditions. Trypsin is inactivated preferentially over chymotrypsin under catalytic conditions, where the enzyme was pulsed with H2O2 in the presence of ferrous complexes [FeII(OH2)(N4Py)]2+(5) and [FeII(Cl)(3CG-N4Py)]2+ (6). Control experiments support the action of a unique oxidant, other than ferryls or hydroxyl radicals, under these conditions, where tyrosine residues are targeted selectively

    Synthesis, Characterization, and Glutathionylation of Cobalamin Model Complexes [Co(N4PyCO<sub>2</sub>Me)Cl]Cl<sub>2</sub> and [Co(Bn-CDPy3)Cl]Cl<sub>2</sub>

    Synthetic Co­(III) complexes containing N5 donor sets undergo glutathionylation to generate biomimetic species of glutathionylcobalamin (GSCbl), an important form of cobalamin (Cbl) found in nature. For this study, a new Co­(III) complex was synthesized derived from the polypyridyl pentadentate N5 ligand N4PyCO<sub>2</sub>Me (<b>1</b>). The compound [Co­(N4PyCO<sub>2</sub>Me)­Cl]­Cl<sub>2</sub> (<b>3</b>) was characterized by X-ray crystallography, UV–vis, IR, <sup>1</sup>H NMR, and <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopies and mass spectrometry (HRMS). Reaction of <b>3</b> with glutathione (GSH) in H<sub>2</sub>O generates the biomimetic species [Co­(N4PyCO<sub>2</sub>Me)­(SG)]<sup>2+</sup> (<b>5</b>), which was generated <i>in situ</i> and characterized by UV–vis and <sup>1</sup>H NMR spectroscopies and HRMS. <sup>1</sup>H NMR and UV–vis spectroscopic data are consistent with ligation of the cysteine thiolate of GSH to the Co­(III) center of <b>5</b>, as occurs in GSCbl. Kinetic analysis indicated that the substitution of chloride by GS<sup>–</sup> occurs by a second-order process [<i>k</i><sub>1</sub> = (10.1 ± 0.7) × 10<sup>–2</sup> M<sup>–1</sup> s<sup>–1</sup>]. The observed equilibrium constant for formation of <b>5</b> (<i>K</i><sub>obs</sub> = 870 ± 50 M<sup>–1</sup>) is about 3 orders of magnitude smaller than for GSCbl. Reaction of the Co­(III) complex [Co­(Bn-CDPy3)­Cl]­Cl<sub>2</sub> (<b>4</b>) with GSH generates glutathionylated species [Co­(Bn-CDPy3)­(GS)]<sup>2+</sup> (<b>6</b>), analogous to <b>5</b>. Glutathionylation of <b>4</b> occurs at a similar rate [<i>k</i><sub>2</sub> = (8.4 ± 0.5) × 10<sup>–2</sup> M<sup>–1</sup> s<sup>–1</sup>], and the observed equilibrium constant (<i>K</i><sub>obs</sub> = 740 ± 47 M<sup>–1</sup>) is slightly smaller than for <b>5</b>. Glutathionylation showed a significant pH dependence, where rates increased with pH. Taken together, these results suggest that glutathionylation is a general reaction for Co­(III) complexes related to Cbl

    Water Challenges in South Asian Countries: A Focused Review on Emerging Nanomaterials and Technological Processes in Wastewater Treatment

    No full text
    South Asia, the world’s most populated region, is facing many environmental and healthcare challenges due to poor freshwater management/wastewater treatment. Most South Asian (SA) countries, such as India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, are suffering from water pollution issues generated due to domestic and industrial effluents containing heavy/toxic ions, textile dyes, pharmaceuticals, bacteria/viruses inorganic/organic pollutants, etc. To overcome these challenges, extensive research is being carried out with an emphasis on technological development to maintain water sustainability. The present review discusses water pollution as well as various challenges in SA countries along with solutions through scientific research carried out by developing nanomaterials and technological wastewater treatment processes, i.e., photocatalytic/adsorptive removal, disinfection, tracing/sensing, etc. Particularly, syntheses of TiO2 nanoparticles and graphene oxide (GO)-based nanomaterials which were found to be most extensively investigated in the SA region have been discussed with emphasis on their multifunctional applications using various water treatment processes, mechanisms, and synergetic effects. Eventually, various challenging issues and solution opportunities are discussed for future development to maintain water sustainability in SA countries

    <p>IFNγ (<b>A</b>) and mimetic IFNγ (<b>B</b>) were cloned in-frame upstream of His-tag in pET42a (+) vector to achieve cytoplasmic protein expression. The fusion proteins BiPPB-IFNγ (<b>C</b>) and BiPPB-mimIFNγ (<b>D</b>) were expressed in pET39b (+) vector for periplasmic expression of fusion proteins to ensure proper folding and disulfide bonds formation. For the synthesis of fusion proteins, BiPPB was fused to the N-terminal of IFNγ or mimetic IFNγ sequence through a flexible 3 amino acid linker (AAA) maintaining the open reading frame.</p

    <p>Graph represents platelet counts measured in CCl<sub>4</sub>-treated mice receiving PBS (n = 6) or the different recombinant proteins IFNγ (n = 6), MimIFNγ (n = 5), BiPPB-IFNγ (n = 6), BiPPB-mimIFNγ (n = 6). Bars represent mean ± SEM of 5–6 mice per group. The results showed a significant reduction in platelet counts following two intravenous administration of IFNγ, which was significantly improved following treatment with BiPPB-mimIFNγ and to a lesser extent with BiPPB-IFNγ. MimIFNγ did not show significant change in platelets counts due to lack of binding to IFNγR or PDGFβR. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 denotes significance versus PBS treated CCl<sub>4</sub> mice. #P<0.05 denotes the significance versus IFNγ-treated CCl<sub>4</sub> mice.</p
