Evaluation of superoxide dismutate-like activity in some Copper (II) complexes of aminoacids
Se investig贸 la actividad super贸xido-dismutasa de una serie de complejos de cobre(II) con los amino谩cidos glicina, aLanina, valina, isoleucina y serina, utilizando el ensayo de reducci贸n del colorante niTroazultetrazolio por super贸xido. Los resultados muestran que todos los complejos investigados poseen la capacidad de dismutar al ani贸n super贸xido, generado en el sistema xantinalxantina oxidasa. Los resultados se comparan tambi茅n con los obtenidos para la enzima super贸xido-dismutasa nativa, ensayada en las mismas condiciones experimentales. La lipofilicidad de los complejos fue determinada a partir del estudio de sus coeficientes de partici贸n entre soluci贸n fisiol贸gica y n-octanol. Se observ贸 un importante incremento en la lipofilicidad al aumentar la complejidad de los ligandos y tambi茅n en comparaci贸n con la de los amino谩cidos libres.The superoxide dismutase-like activity of a series of copper(Il) complexes of the aminoacids glycine, alanine, valine, isoleucine, and serine has been investigated using the nitrobluetetrazolium/superoxide reduction assay. The results show that all the investigated complexes possess the capability to dismutate the superoxide anion generated in the xanthinelxanthine oxidase system. The results are compared with those obtained for the native enzyme superoxide dismutase, tested under the same experimental conditions. The lipophilicity of the complexes was tested determining their partition coefficients between physiological solution and n-octanol. The results show an important increment in lipophilicity with increasing complexity of the ligands and also in comparison with that of the free aminoacids.Colegio de Farmac茅uticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire

Uracilato and 5-halouracilato complexes of Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II). X-ray structures of [Cu(uracilato-N1)2(NH3)2]路2(H2O), [Cu(5-chlorouracilato- N1)2(NH3)2](H2O)2, [Ni(5-chlorouracilato-N1)2(en) 2]路2H2O and [Zn(5-chlorouracilato-N1)(NH3)3]路(5-chlorouracilato-N 1)路(H2O)
Four new complexes of uracilato and 5-halouracilato with the divalent metal ions Cu(II), Zn(II) and Ni(II) were obtained and structurally characterized. [Cu(uracilato- N1)2(NH3) 2]路2(H2O) (1) and [Cu(5-chlorouracilato-N 1)2(NH3)2](H2O) 2 (2) complexes present distorted square planar co-ordination geometry around the metal ion. Although an additional axial water molecule is present [Cu(II)-OH2=2.89 脜 (for 1) and 2.52 脜 (for 2)] in both cases, only in the complex 2 would be considered in the limit of a bond distance. The Zn(II) in [Zn(5-chlorouracilato-N1)(NH 3)3]路(5-chlorouracilato-N1) 路(H2O) presents a tetrahedral co-ordination with three ammonia molecules and the N1 of the corresponding uracilato moiety. A non-coordinated uracilato molecule is present as a counterion and a recognition between co-ordinated and free ligands, by means a tandem of H-bonds, should be mentioned. Finally, the complex [Ni(5-chlorouracilato-N 1)2(en)2] (H2O)2 (where en is ethylenediamine) presents a typical octahedral trans co-ordination with additional hydrogen bonds between 5-chlorouracilato and the NH2 groups of ethylenediamine units.Fil: Terr贸n, A..
