Enhanced Cytotoxicity through Conjugation of a āClickableā Luminescent Re(I) Complex to a Cell-Penetrating Lipopeptide
ReĀ(I)
tricarbonyl polypyridine-based complexes are particularly
attractive metal complexes in the field of inorganic chemical biology
due to their luminescent properties, ease of conjugation to targeting
biomolecules, and the possibility to prepare their āhotā <sup>99m</sup>Tc analogues for radioimaging. In this study, we prepared
and characterized a novel, āclickableā complex, [ReĀ(2,2ā²-bipyridine)Ā(3-ethynylpyridine)Ā(CO)<sub>3</sub>]Ā(BF<sub>4</sub>) (<b>[ReĀ(CO)</b><sub><b>3</b></sub><b>(bipy)Ā(py-alkyne)]Ā(BF</b><sub><b>4</b></sub><b>)</b>), exhibiting the characteristic luminescent properties
and moderate cytotoxicity of this general class of compound. Using
CuĀ(I)-catalyzed āclickā chemistry, the complex was efficiently
attached to a lipidated peptide known to increase cell permeability,
namely, the myristoylated HIV-1 Tat peptide (<b>myr-Tat</b>),
to give <b>Re-myr-Tat</b>. Fluorescence microscopy localization
in human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) confirmed enhanced cellular
uptake of <b>Re-myr-Tat</b> compared with <b>[ReĀ(CO)</b><sub><b>3</b></sub><b>(bipy)Ā(py-alkyne)]Ā(BF</b><sub><b>4</b></sub><b>)</b>, and cytotoxicity studies showed that
this resulted in an increase in potency to a level comparable with
cisplatin (13.0 Ā± 2.0 Ī¼M)

Structure of SaHPPK in complex with 8-MG.
<p>AāC) Structure of <i>Sa</i>HPPK (PDB:1QBC) in complex with 8-MG. AāB Intermolecular interactions between 8-MG and <i>Sa</i>HPPK. C) Surface representation of <i>Sa</i>HPPK showing the bound 8-MG (blue) overlayed with the closed loop L3 (green) and the bound AMPCPP as observed in the <i>Ec</i>HPPK/HMDP/AMPCPP (PDB:1Q0N) complex. D) Ribbon representation of the loop structure of several <i>Ec</i>HPPK structures overlayed with <i>Sa</i>HPPK (yellow) in complex with 8-MG (red) to illustrate the range of conformations in loops L2 and L3. The interaction of the Trp89 (brown) and the phenethyl inhibitor (cyan) is highlighted (PDB:1DY3) and the position of the HMDP (pink) and AMPCPP (pink) from <i>Ec</i>HPPK/HMDP/AMPCPP (PDB:1Q0N). Images were produced using the UCSF Chimera package (<a href="http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera" target="_blank">www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera</a>).</p
Comparing the binding of 21a and 8-MG to apo and cofactor bound SaHPPK as judged by 2D NMR.
<p>AāB) Binding of 8-MG and <b>21a</b> to magnesium bound <i>Sa</i>HPPK are very similar. CāD) Binding of 8-MG and <b>21a</b> to the AMPCPP bound <i>Sa</i>HPPK are very different. Figures A and C are adapted from data in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0059535#pone-0059535-g006" target="_blank">Figure 6A</a> in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0059535#pone.0059535-Chhabra1" target="_blank">[8]</a>. The concentration of <sup>15</sup>N-labelled <i>Sa</i>HPPK was ā¼100 ĀµM in all cases. The concentration of magnesium, AMPCPP, 8-MG and <b>21a</b> was 10 mM, 1 mM, 0.6 mM and 0.6 mM respectively. The assignment of selected substrate site peaks are shown to highlight the effects of binding of the two compounds on the NMR spectra. The sidechain HĪµ1āNĪµ1 peak of Trp89 is labelled as W89sc.</p
