RESUMEN

A series of Pt-Sb complexes with two or three L-type quinoline side arms were prepared and studied. Two ligands, tri(8-quinolinyl)stibane (SbQ3, Q = 8-quinolinyl, 1) and 8,8'-(phenylstibanediyl)diquinoline (SbQ2Ph, 2), were used to synthesize the PtII-SbIII complexes (SbQ3)PtCl2 (3) and (SbQ2Ph)PtCl2 (4). Chloride abstraction with AgOAc provided the bis-acetate complexes (SbQ3)Pt(OAc)2 (5) and (SbQ2Ph)Pt(OAc)2 (6). To better understand the electronic effects of the Sb moiety, analogous bis-chloride complexes were oxidized to an overall formal oxidation state of +7 (i.e., Pt + Sb formal oxidation states = 7) using dichloro(phenyl)-λ3-iodane (PhICl2) and 3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-dibenzoquinone (o-chloranil) as two-electron oxidants. Depending on the oxidant, different conformational changes occur within the coordination sphere of Pt as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the nature of Pt-Sb interactions was evaluated via molecular and localized orbital calculations.

RESUMEN

The widespread increase in antibiotic resistance (AR), in an extensive range of microorganisms, demands the development of alternative antimicrobials with novel non-specific low-mutation bacterial targets. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and photosensitizers (PSs) are promising antimicrobial agents with broad-spectrum activity and low tendency for antimicrobial resistance development. Herein, we investigated the light-mediated oxidation of AgNPs for accelerated release of Ag+ in the antibacterial synergy of PS-AgNP conjugates using protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) as a PS. Also, the influence of polyethyleneimine (PEI) coated AgNPs in promoting antibacterial activity was examined. We synthesized, characterized and tested the antimicrobial effect of three nanoparticles: AgNPs, PpIX-AgNPs, and PEI-PpIX-AgNPs against a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain (MRSA) and a wild-type multidrug resistant (MDR) E. coli. PpIX-AgNPs were the most effective material achieving >7 log inactivation of MRSA and MDR E. coli. The order of bacterial log inactivation was PpIX-AgNPs > PEI-PpIX-AgNPs > AgNPs. This order correlates with the trend of Ag+ concentration released by the NPs (PpIX-AgNPs > PEI-PpIX-AgNPs > AgNPs). Our study confirms a synergistic effect between PpIX and AgNPs in the inactivation of AR pathogens with about 10-fold increase in inactivation of ARB relative to AgNPs only. The concentration of Ag+ released from NPs determined the log inactivation of MRSA and MDR E. coli more than either the phototoxic effect or the electrostatic interaction promoted by surface charge of nanoparticles with bacteria cells. All NPs showed negligible cytotoxicity to mammalian cells at the bacterial inhibitory concentration after 24 h exposure. These observations confirm the crucial role of optimized Ag+ release for enhanced performance of AgNP-based antimicrobials against AR pathogens.

RESUMEN

A novel process is described for the synthesis of di- and trisubstituted cyclohexenes from an arene. These compounds are prepared from three independent nucleophilic addition reactions to a phenyl sulfone (PhSO2R; R = Me, Ph, and NC4H8) dihapto-coordinated to the tungsten complex {WTp(NO)(PMe3)}(Tp = trispyrazolylborate). Such a coordination renders the dearomatized aryl ring susceptible to protonation at a carbon ortho to the sulfone group. The resulting arenium species readily reacts with the first nucleophile to form a dihapto-coordinated sulfonylated diene complex. This complex can again be protonated, and the subsequent nucleophilic addition forms a trisubstituted cyclohexene species bearing a sulfonyl group at an allylic position. Loss of the sulfinate anion forms a π-allyl species, to which a third nucleophile can be added. The trisubstituted cyclohexene can then be oxidatively decomplexed, either before or after substitution of the sulfonyl group. Nucleophiles employed include masked enolates, cyanide, amines, amides, and hydride, with all three additions occurring to the same face of the ring, anti to the metal. Of the 12 novel functionalized cyclohexenes prepared as examples of this methodology, nine compounds meet five independent criteria for evaluating drug likeliness. Structural assignments are supported with nine crystal structures, density functional theory studies, and full 2D NMR analysis.

RESUMEN

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) is a promising scaffold to be used as delivery system. POSS can modify the properties of photosensitizers to enhance their efficacy toward photodynamic therapy (PDT). In this work, we designed, synthesized and characterized five different POSS porphyrin (POSSPs 1-5) derivatives containing hydrophobic (1-3) and hydrophilic (4 and 5) functional groups. In general, all the POSSPs showed a better singlet oxygen quantum yield than the parent porphyrins due to the steric hindrance from the POSS unique structure. POSSPs 1 and 3 containing isobutyl groups showed better PDT performance in cancer cells at lower concentrations than POSSPs 4 and 5. However; at higher concentrations, the POSSP4 containing hydrophilic groups has an enhanced PDT efficiency as compared with the parent porphyrin. We envision that the chemical tunability of POSSs can be used as a promising option to improve the delivery and performance of photosensitizers.
