Herein we report the preparation of a series of Ru(II) complexes featuring alpha-iminopyridine ligands bearing thioether functionality (NNS<sup>R</sup>, where R = Me, CH<sub>2</sub>Ph, Ph). Metallation using (<i>p</i> cymene)RuCl dimer permits access to (k<sup>2</sup>-N,N)Ru complexes in which the thioether moiety remains uncoordinated. In the presence of a strong field ligand such as acetonitrile or triphenylphosphine, the p-cymene moiety is displaced, and the ligand adopts a k<sup>3</sup>-N,N,S binding mode. These complexes are characterized using a combination of solution and solid state methods, including the crystal structure of [(NNS<sup>Me</sup>)Ru(NCMe)<sub>2</sub>Cl]Cl. The k<sup>2</sup>-N,N Ru(II) complexes are shown to serve as efficient precatalysts for the oxidation of sec-phenethyl alcohol at 5 mol% loadings, using a variety of external oxidants and solvents. The complex bearing an S-Ph donor was found to be the most active of those surveyed, suggesting that the thioether donor plays an active role in catalyst speciation for this transformation.

A Site

Voltage-gated sodium (NaV) and calcium channels (CaV) form targets for calmodulin (CaM), which affects channel inactivation properties. A major interaction site for CaM resides in the C-terminal (CT) region, consisting of an IQ domain downstream of an EF-hand domain. We present a crystal structure of fully Ca2+-occupied CaM, bound to the CT of NaV1.5. The structure shows that the C-terminal lobe binds to a site ∼90° rotated relative to a previous site reported for an apoCaM complex with the NaV1.5 CT and for ternary complexes containing fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHF). We show that the binding of FHFs forces the EF-hand domain in a conformation that does not allow binding of the Ca2+-occupied C-lobe of CaM. These observations highlight the central role of the EF-hand domain in modulating the binding mode of CaM. The binding sites for Ca2+-free and Ca2+-occupied CaM contain targets for mutations linked to long-QT syndrome, a type of inherited arrhythmia. The related NaV1.4 channel has been shown to undergo Ca2+-dependent inactivation (CDI) akin to CaVs. We present a crystal structure of Ca2+/CaM bound to the NaV1.4 IQ domain, which shows a binding mode that would clash with the EF-hand domain. We postulate the relative reorientation of the EF-hand domain and the IQ domain as a possible conformational switch that underlies CDI.

ABSTRACT β-Lactamase-mediated resistance is a growing threat to the continued use of β-lactam antibiotics. The use of the β-lactam-based serine-β-lactamase (SBL) inhibitors clavulanic acid, sulbactam, and tazobactam and, more recently, the non-β-lactam inhibitor avibactam has extended the utility of β-lactams against bacterial infections demonstrating resistance via these enzymes. These molecules are, however, ineffective against the metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs), which catalyze their hydrolysis. To date, there are no clinically available metallo-β-lactamase inhibitors. Coproduction of MBLs and SBLs in resistant infections is thus of major clinical concern. The development of “dual-action” inhibitors, targeting both SBLs and MBLs, is of interest, but this is considered difficult to achieve due to the structural and mechanistic differences between the two enzyme classes. We recently reported evidence that cyclic boronates can inhibit both serine- and metallo-β-lactamases. Here we report that cyclic boronates are able to inhibit all four classes of β-lactamase, including the class A extended spectrum β-lactamase CTX-M-15, the class C enzyme AmpC from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and class D OXA enzymes with carbapenem-hydrolyzing capabilities. We demonstrate that cyclic boronates can potentiate the use of β-lactams against Gram-negative clinical isolates expressing a variety of β-lactamases. Comparison of a crystal structure of a CTX-M-15:cyclic boronate complex with structures of cyclic boronates complexed with other β-lactamases reveals remarkable conservation of the small-molecule binding mode, supporting our proposal that these molecules work by mimicking the common tetrahedral anionic intermediate present in both serine- and metallo-β-lactamase catalysis.
