Item Antitumor and anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis agents based on cationic ruthenium complexes with amino acids.(2017) Santos, Edjane Rocha dos; Correa, Rodrigo de Souza; Cunha, Lucas Vinícius Pozzi da; Graminha, Angelica Ellen; Araujo, Heloisa Sobreiro Selistre de; Pavan, Fernando Rogério; Batista, Alzir AzevedoSix new complexes of Ru(II)/phenanthroline/1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane containing amino acids (Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Valine, L-Tyrosine, L-Methionine or L-Tryptophan) were synthesized and characterized by IR, 31P{1H}, 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopies and cyclic voltammetry experiments. These data suggest the presence of diastereoisomers, except for the complex with glycine, amino acid that does not exhibit chiral carbon. The compounds are active against the MDA-MB-231 tumor cells and against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The cationic ruthenium complexes with amino acids, reported here, show similar cytotoxicity against the MDA-MB-231 tumor cells. When compared with analogs complexes containing 2,20-bipyridine as ligands, instead of 1,10-phenatroline, the new complexes studied here are, in general, roughly twice more active than the 2,20-bipyridine ones and their IC50 values comparable with the cisplatin. In addition, low MICs values were obtained against Mycobacterium tuberculosis compared with the reference drugs, cycloserine and ethambutol.Item Cytotoxic activity and structural features of Ru(II)/phosphine/amino acid complexes.(2018) Santos, Edjane Rocha dos; Graminha, Angelica Ellen; Schultz, Mario Sergio; Correia, Isabel; Araujo, Heloisa Sobreiro Selistre de; Correa, Rodrigo de Souza; Ellena, Javier Alcides; Lacerda, Elisângela de Paula Silveira; Pessoa, João Costa; Batista, Alzir AzevedoThirteen new ruthenium amino acid complexes were synthesized and characterized. They were obtained by the reaction of α-amino acids (AA) with [RuCl2(P-P)(N-N)], where P-P = 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb) or 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) and N-N = 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (4′-Mebipy), 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5′-Mebipy) or 4,4′-Methoxy-2-2′-bipyridine (4′-MeObipy). This afforded a family of complexes formulated as [Ru(AA-H)(P-P)(N-N)]PF6, where AA = glycine (Gly), L-alanine (Ala), L-valine (Val), L-tyrosine (Tyr), L-tryptophan (Trp), L-histidine (His) and L-methionine (Met). All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The [Ru(AA-H)(P-P)(N-N)]PF6 complexes are octahedral (the AA-H ligand binding involves N-amine and O-carboxylate), diamagnetic (low-spin d6, S = 0) and present bands due to electronic transitions in the visible region. 1H, 13C{1H} and 31P{1H} NMR spectra of the complexes indicate the presence of C2 symmetry, and the identification of diastereoisomers. In vitro cytotoxicity assays of the compounds and cisplatin were carried out using MDA-MB-231 (human breast) tumor cell line and a non-tumor breast cell line (MCF-10A). Most complexes present promising results with IC50 values comparable with the reference drug cisplatin and high selectivity indexes were found for the complexes containing L-Trp. The binding of two Ru-precursors of the type [RuCl2(dppb)(NN)] (N-N = 4′-MeObipy or 4′-Mebipy) to the blood transporter protein human serum albumin (HSA) was evaluated by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Both complexes bind HSA, probably in the hydrophobic pocket near Trp214, and the Ru-complex containing 4′-MeObipy shows higher affinity for HSA than the 4′-Mebipy one.
