AbstractThree azocalix[4]arenes with distal ethyl ester residues, 5-phenylazo-25,26,27-tris[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]-28-hydroxycalix[4]arene (2), 5-(o-methylphenyl)azo-25,26,27-tris[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]-28-hydroxycalix[4]arene (3), 5-(p-Methylphenyl)azo-25,26,27-tris[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]-28-hydroxycalix[4]arene (4), were synthesized and their binding properties with metal ions were investigated by ultraviolet (UV)/visible spectroscopy. The chromogenic behavior of these compounds upon metal ion complexation indicates a specific selectivity toward Ca2+ ion in the presence of other cations tested. The stoichiometry of 3 to Ca2+ ion in the complex is 1:1 and the stability constant of the complex is 1.28×104m−1.

1. The mechanism of inhibition of enzymes by metal ion-chelating reagents is discussed and equations derived. 2. Two distinct mechanisms are postulated and graphical methods are given for differentiating between them. 3. Where the metal ion is actually removed from the enzyme to form a co-ordination complex in solution, a procedure is described for obtaining the stability constant for metal–enzyme interaction, the number of metal ions involved and the stoicheiometry of metal ion–ligand interaction.

In this research, the interactions of imipramine hydrochloride drug with β- cyclodextrin and the stability constant (K) of the inclusion complex formed between them were investigated by using UV-visible spectroscopy. Solutions consisting of a known and constant amount of imipramine hydrochloride and varying amounts of β- cyclodextrin were prepared in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The final solutions had cyclodextrin concentrations between 0.0011 and 0.0153 M. UV-visible spectra of each solution was taken at λmax= 250 nm. The absorbances at this wavelength were recorded and plotted against cyclodextrin concentrations. From the graph, the concentrations of free and bound imipramine hydrochloride and free β-cyclodextrin were calculated using the Beer-Lambert law. From these data, the stability constant was calculated and a value of K=52.26±11.41 mol-1L was obtained. The magnitude of the stability constant is discussed in terms of the relative sizes and the chemical natures of β-cyclodextrin and imipramine hydrochloride.

The acidity constants of the twofold protonated nucleotide analogue 1-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]cytosine, H2(PMEC)±, as well as the stability constants of the M(H;PMEC)+ and M(PMEC) complexes with the metal ions M2+ = Mg2+, Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ have been determined by potentiometric pH titrations in aqueous solution at I = 0.1 M (NaNO3) and 25 °C. Comparison with previous results for the nucleobase-free compound (phosphonomethoxy)ethane, PME, and the parent nucleotides cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP2-) and 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate (dCMP2-) shows that the metal ion-binding properties of PMEC2- resemble closely those of PME2-: This means, the primary binding site is the phosphonate group and with all of the metal ions studied, 5-membered chelates involving the ether oxygen of the -CH2-O-CH2-PO32- chain are formed. The position of the isomeric equilibria between these chelates and the "open" complexes, -PO32-/M2+ is calculated; the degree of formation of the chelates is identical within the error limits for the M(PME) and M(PMEC) systems. Hence, like in M(CMP) and M(dCMP) no interaction occurs with the cytosine residue in the M(PMEC) complexes. However, the monoprotonated M(H;PMEC)+ as well as the M(H;CMP)+ and M(dCMP)+ species carry the metal ion predominantly at the nucleobase, while the proton is at the phosph(on)ate group. The coordinating properties of PMEC2- and CMP2- or dCMP2- differ thus only with respect to the possible formation of the 5-membered chelates involving the ether oxygen in M(PMEC) species, a possibility which does not exist in the complexes of the parent nucleotides. Possible reasons why PMEC is devoid of a significant antiviral activity are shortly discussed.

Melanin from Nyctanthes arbor-tristis fruits and seeds was isolated and purified by alkaline extraction, acid hydrolysis and organic solvents. Each, fruit and seed yielded melanin 50 mg/100g tissue weight. The melanins of fruit and seeds were analyzed by UV-visible and infrared (IR) spectroscopy for characterization. The IR spectrum of fruit and seed melanins did not match with each other and the seed melanin could be distinguished by their sharp peat at 285 nm from the fruit melanin in IR spectrum. Two melanins have shown absorptions above and below 1600 cm-1 in their respective IR spectrum. The melanins thus characterized were tested for their stability after incubating at different temperatures and in presence of oxidants (KMnO4 and K2Cr2O7) and metal ions (Mg++ and Zn++) for a specified period. The stability of the melanin was assessed by measuring changes in the absorbance at 285 nm. The results revealed that the fruit melanin was more stable at 50 ºC while the seed melanin was quite stable at 25 ºC. However, their stability was markedly affected by oxidants and metal ions.  Keywords: Melanin; Nyctanthes arbor-tristis; UV-visible spectroscopy; IR-spectroscopy; Oxidant. © 2009 JSR Publications.

Ethylenediphosphinetetraacetic acid is bonded to metal ions in aqueous solutions in four ways, depending on the type of metal ion: 1) through an ionic bond of the carboxylic groups to form weak complexes with a metal:ligand ratio of 1 : 1 (Ca(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Pb(II), La(III)); 2) through type 1) bond with contributions from weak interaction with the phosphorus (Cd(II)); 3) through coordination of the ligand as a monodentate P-donor with the free carboxyl groups with formation of 2 : 1 and 1 : 1 complexes (Cu(I), Ag(I)); 4) through formation of square planar or, for Hg(II), tetrahedral complexes with a ratio of 1 : 2 with the ligand as a bidentate PP-donor with the free carboxyl groups (Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), Pt(II)). On acidification of the complex solution, the first two protons are bonded to the carboxyl groups. The behaviour during further protonation depends on the type of complex: in complexes of types 1) and 2) phosphorus is protonated and the complex dissociates; in complexes of types 3) and 4) the free carboxyl groups are protonated and the phosphorus-metal bond remains intact. The results are based on correlation of the stability constants, UV-visible, infrared, 1H and 31P NMR spectra and magnetic susceptibilities of the complexes in aqueous solution.

The synthesis and the binding properties of novel phthalonitrile derivatives 1-3 towards metal cations have been described in this paper. The complexation and extraction of some transition and heavy metal cations have been followed by UV-visible spectrophotometry absorption in methanol. The conductivity studies have been used in order to confirm complex’s stoichiometries. The treatment of UV spectra by digital program showed the formation of ML (with ML2 in some cases) (M=metal, L=ligand) species. Beyond the discussion of the stability profiles of complexes particular attention is paid to the selectivity towards Cu2+ in the 1st sequence of transition metal cations and towards Hg2+ in the sequence of heavy metal cations.

Asid amino merupakan bahan asas dalam tisu tumbuhan dan haiwan. Tirosina (Tr) salah satu jenis asid amino yang mengandungi gelang aromatik, telah dipilih sebagai sampel untuk proses degradasi dalam medium akueus. Ini bertujuan melihat kesan penggunaan mangkinfoto dalam sinaran ultralembayung (λ < 400 nm) atau cahaya matahari ke atas molekul tirosina. Kajian telah dijalankan menggunakan sistem cahaya, mangkin serbuk TiO2, hidrogen peroksida, H2O2 dan ion logam. Penambahan ion logam seperti Ni2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+, Co2+, Fe2+ dan Cd2+ dan agen pengoksidaan, iaitu hidrogen peroksida adalah untuk mendapatkan kaedah yang paling cekap. Keputusan menunjukkan penambahan H2O2 dan ion Fe2+ dan Ni2+ berjaya meningkatkan kecekapan proses degradasifoto tirosina. Ion Ni2+ memberikan keputusan terbaik berbanding ion-ion lain. Ion Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+ dan Cd2+ merencat proses degradasi. Keputusan juga menunjukkan cahaya matahari adalah setanding dengan cahaya ultralembayung. Kepekatan H2O2 terbaik adalah 5.0 x 10-2M dan semakin banyak TiO2 digunakan semakin baik peratus degradasi tirosina. Oleh itu kaedah optimum untuk proses degradasifoto ialah Tr 2.5 x 10-4 M + TiO2 + H2O25.0 x 10-3 M + Mn+ 1.0 x 10-2 M. Proses degradasifoto dikaji menggunakan spektroskopi ultralembayung-nampak pada julat panjang gelombang 400-200 nm. Kata kunci: Tirosina; degradasifoto; serbuk TiO; akueus Amino acid is a basic component in plant or animal tissue. Tyrosine (Tr), an amino acid which contains aromatic ring, was chosen as a sample for a photodegradation process in an aqueous system. The purpose of the experiment is to study the effect of photocatalysis under UV (λ < 400 nm) or sunlight on tyrosine. The experiment was carried out by using UV light, catalyst powder (TiO2), hidrogen peroxide H2O2 and metal ions system. The addition of oxidising agent H2O2 and metal ions such as Ni2+, Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+, Co2+, Fe2+ and Cd2+ were used in order to achieve the most efficient system. Results showed that the system with added H2O2 and metal ions such as Ni2+ and Fe2+ had successfully enhanced the process of the tyrosine photodegradation. Other metal ions system such as Cu2+, Ag+, Mn2+ and Cd2+ were found to inhibit the degradation process. The results also showed that sunlight was comparable to ultraviolet light. The best H2O2 concentration was 5.0 x 10-2 M and the percentage of tyrosine degradation increased with the addition of more TiO2) by mass. Therefore, the optimum condition for tyrosine photodegradation process was in Tr 2.5 x 10-4 M + TiO2 + H2O2 5.0 x 10-3 M + H2O2 1.0 x 10-2 M. The dissappearance of tyrosine in the photo degradation process was monitored by UV-visible spectroscopy between 400-200 nm. Key words: Tyrosine; photodegradation; TiO2 powder; akueus

Abstract An understanding of Al3+-induced diseases requires identification of the blood carrier of Al3+ to the tissues where Al3+ exerts a toxic action. Quantitative studies demonstrate that the protein transferrin (iron-free) is the strongest Al3+ binder in blood plasma. Under plasma conditions of pH 7.4 and [HCO3-]27 mmol/L, the successive stability constant values for Al3+ binding to transferrin are log K1 = 12.9 and log K2 = 12.3. When the concentration of total Al3+ in plasma is 1 mumol/L, the free Al3+ concentration permitted by transferrin is 10(-14.6) mol/L, less than that allowed by insoluble Al(OH)3, by Al(OH)2H2PO4, or by complexing with citrate. Thus transferrin is the ultimate carrier of Al3+ in the blood. We also used intensity changes produced by metal ion binding to determine the stability constants for Fe3+ binding to transferrin: log K1 = 22.7 and log K2 = 22.1. These constants agree closely with a revision of the reported values obtained by equilibrium dialysis. By comparison with Fe3+ binding, the Al3+ stability constants are weaker than expected; this suggests that the significantly smaller Al3+ ions cannot coordinate to all the transferrin donor atoms available to Fe3+.
