Synthetic metalloporphyrins have long been recognized either as functional models or mimics of the cytochrome P-450 enzymes and they are versatile compounds with potential use in drug delivery, catalysis and electronics. In the present study, the metalloporphyrin, (meso-tetra-(p-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrinato)copper, CuTSPP was synthesized in the reaction between free-base porphyrin, meso-tetra (p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, H2TSPP and copper(II) acetate monohydrate. The materials were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy, Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) Spectroscopyand Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis. The FTIR spectra of both free-base porphyrin and CuTSPP showed the appearance of three pronounced bands indicating the presence of the salt form (R-SO3Na) of the sulfonic acid group. Characterization of CuTSPP by UV-Vis spectroscopy confirmed that the insertion of copper into the free-base porphyrin was successful by the appearance of the Soret band and Q bands. The catalytic activity of CuTSPP was tested in the oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol (TMP) at 60 °C using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as oxidant. The reaction parameters including the reaction temperature and time have been optimized. The only product obtained by means of TMP oxidation with H2O2 using CuTSSP is 2,3,5-trimethylbenzoquinone (TMBQ), an important precursor for the industrial production of Vitamin E.

The reaction of PcMCl 2 ( M = Zr , Hf ) with β-diketones is reported. 1 H NMR and elemental analysis suggest the substitution of two Cl atoms for two β-diketone fragments takes place as a result of this reaction and the complexes PcM(β-dik)2 are formed. All obtained complexes are stable and highly soluble in most organic solvents. The data from 1 H and 19 F NMR, and UV-vis spectroscopy suggest the coordination of two β-diketone ligands in a cis geometry about the central atom of the macrocycle. It was shown bis(β-diketonato)zirconium(IV) and hafnium(IV) phthalocyanines containing β-diketones with donor or acceptor groups or with bulky substituents can be obtained.

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new axially ligated indium(III) porphyrin complexes were reported. Chloroindium(III) porphyrin (TPPIn-Cl) was obtained in good yield by treating the corresponding free base with indium trichloride. The action of the different phenols on chloroderivatives (TPPIn-Cl) led to the corresponding phenolato complexes (TPPIn-X). These derivatives were characterized on the basis of mass spectrometry,1H-NMR, IR, and UV-visible data. The separation and isolation of these derivatives have been achieved through chromatography. The spectral properties of free base porphyrin and its corresponding metallated and axially ligated indium(III) porphyrin compounds were compared with each other. A detailed analysis of UV-Vis,1H-NMR, and IR suggested the transformation from free base porphyrin to indium(III) porphyrin. Besides,13C-NMR and fluorescence spectra were also reported and interpreted. The stability of these derivatives has also been studied through thermogravimetry. The complexes were also screened for anticancerous activities. Among all the complexes, 4-MePhO-InTPP shows highest anticancerous activity. The title complexe, TPPIn-X (where X = different phenolates), represents a five-coordinate indium(III) porphyrin complex in a square-pyramidal geometry with the phenolate anion as the axial ligand.

The preparation and structural characterization of a pair of scandium(III) phthalocyanine hydroxide complexes were achieved by reaction of PcScCl with alkali metal alkoxides, likely via hydrolysis of soluble PcSc-alkoxide intermediates. A Sc[Formula: see text]Li[Formula: see text]-OH)[Formula: see text] cubane supported by two distorted Pc rings of the form (PcSc)[Formula: see text]-OH)[Formula: see text]Li[Formula: see text](THF)(DME) was isolated from the reaction of PcScCl with LiO[Formula: see text]Pr, while a simpler alkali-metal-free [Pc[Formula: see text]Sc[Formula: see text]-OH)[Formula: see text](THF)] was obtained from addition of NaO[Formula: see text]Bu; both structures are reminiscent of bent metallocenes, with dihedral angles between the two Pc rings of 50.8 and 37.7[Formula: see text]respectively. A soluble PcScOH material can also be obtained directly via hydrolysis of insoluble PcScCl in approximately 95:5 THF:water. Reduction of the Pc ring of PcScCl using KC[Formula: see text] is reversible and generates Pc[Formula: see text] and Pc[Formula: see text]-containing materials that were characterized via UV-vis spectroscopy and, where appropriate EPR and [Formula: see text]H NMR spectroscopy; analogous reductions of the PcScOH-based species were irreversible. Exposure of the air-sensitive, reduced PcScCl-based species to ambient atmosphere generated PcScOH materials analogous to the direct hydrolysis route.

A poly(vinylpyrrolidone) end-functionalized with a carboxylic acid group (PVP–CO2H) was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)/macromolecular design via the interchange of xanthates (MADIX) polymerization mediated by 4-(O-ethylxanthyl)methyl benzoic acid. The molecular weight of the as-synthesized PVP–CO2H was estimated through UV–vis spectroscopy (Mn(UV–vis) = 7322 g/mol), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) (Mn(GPC) = 8670 g/mol), and 1H NMR, (Mn(NMR) = 8207 g/mol). The values obtained were close with the theoretical molecular weight (Mn(th) = 7925 g/mol). Subsequently, the preformed PVP–CO2H was activated to produce N-succinimidyl poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP–NHS). This precursor was covalently coupled to papain to produce bioconjugate PVP–papain. The functional group modifications in the PVP chain-end were observed by the variations in the chemical shift values by 1H and 13C NMR and FTIR analysis at each step of the synthesis. The molecular weight of the PVP–papain was obtained by SEC–HPLC and suggests that, on average, four or five chains of PVP–CO2H were attached to one papain molecule. Compared with papain, the PVP–papain exhibited significantly improved catalytic activity, pH, and thermal stability. Additionally, the storage studies showed that the catalytic activity of PVP–papain was about 79% versus the native enzyme (29%), and this activity was maintained even when it was stored for 25 days.

The metalation of several free base porphyrins by the bismuth salts Bi(NO3)3 and Bi(SO3CF3)3 in DMF or pyridine is described. The resulting stable Bi(III) porphyrin complexes are characterized by electrochemistry, 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. The structure of ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) was also determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and shows that ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) exists as a dimer which is stabilized by electrostatic interactions in which the two [(OEP)Bi]+ cations are linked via oxygen atoms of two symmetrically related [Formula: see text] anions, leading to a heptacoordinated bismuth center. Electrochemical oxidation of ( OEP ) Bi ( SO 3 CF 3) and ( T p TP ) Bi ( SO3CF3 ) shows that only the porphyrin macrocycles are oxidized.

Abstract Background In prenatal diagnosis, a thickened nuchal translucency (NT) is one of the most sensitive and specific markers for several defects but it may also be found in 5% of healthy fetuses. The pathophysiological causes that lead to an increase in NT are not yet fully understood. Metabolomics represents a new promising approach, useful for studying different metabolites in biological organisms in response to environmental stressors. The aim of our study was to investigate the metabolomic profile of the amniotic fluid samples (AFS) of euploid fetuses with enlarged nuchal translucency (ENT) compared to a control group (C group). Methods This study was carried out on a group of women who underwent second-trimester amniocentesis for advanced maternal age (C group) or for NT ≥95th percentile (ENT group) found during first-trimester aneuploidy screening. AFS were analyzed with proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and subsequent multivariate and univariate statistical analyses were conducted, followed by pathway analysis. Results In total, 67 AFS from the C group and 23 from the ENT group were analyzed. Partial least square discriminate analysis was carried out (R2X=0.784, R2Y=0.658, Q2=0.622, P<0.0001). A different metabolic profile was observed in the ENT group compared with the C group, suggesting an energetic shift to a glycolytic phenotype in an oxidative environment in the ENT group compared to the C group. Conclusion Metabolomic studies enable the identification of metabolic alterations occurring in fetuses with ENT. These findings may provide a new basis for better understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms in this prenatal phenomenon.

Background: The effect of different concentrations of the absorption enhancer Trimethyl Chitosan (TMC) to the physicochemical properties of Large Unilamellar Vesicles (LUV) comprised of L-a-Phospahtidyl Choline (PC) were investigated in the current study. Methods: The Degree of Quartenization (DQ) of trimethylchitosan was assessed with nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The vesicles were characterized by means of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), ζ-potential, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Contact Angle Goniometry (CAG) measurements. Results: The data showed that the surface charge of the PC liposomes was significantly altered as a function of the TMC concentration, giving evidence of presence of the polyelectrolyte to the liposome’s membrane. Varying the concentration of TMC affected the phase Transition Temperature (Tm) of the lipid, verifying the miscibility of the polyelectrolyte with the lipid bilayer. The association of the polymer with the liposomes was related to the amount of the polyelectrolyte present, reflecting changes to the wettability of the dispersion as measured by CAG. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that presence of TMC significantly modified the physical properties of liposomes. Such systems might have a potential use for mucosal delivery (e.g. nasal route of administration).

A series of four new porphyrin-rhodanine dyads were synthesized having the rhodanine acetic acid group either at the meso- or the pyrrole-β position of a free-base/zinc porphyrin. These dyads were fully characterized by UV-visible, 1 H NMR, MALDI-MS and fluorescence spectroscopies and cyclic voltammetry. Both the Soret and Q-bands were red-shifted in the case of pyrrole-β substituted dyads. The redox potentials of all four dyads were altered in comparison with their individual constituents. The dyads were tested in dye sensitized solar cells and the zinc metalated dyads gave a better performance in comparison with the corresponding free-base dyads.

Schiff base diethyl 4,4-(pentane-2,4-diylidenebis(azanylylidene))benzoate (1) as a new ligand (L) was prepared by the reaction of acetylacetone with benzocaine in the ratio of 1 : 1. Two transition-metal complexes, [Ni(II)(LCl(HOEt))] (2) and [Zn(II)(LCl(HOEt))] (3), have been synthesized from metal salts with didentate Schiff base ligand (L) and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR UV-Vis spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility. The biological activity of the complexes was studied. In addition, the M06-2x density function theory method and the 6-31G(d) basic set were applied to determine the optimized structures of 1–3 and to determine their IR and 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectra theoretically. The data are in good agreement with the experimental results. The geometries of complexes 2 and 3 were determined to be square-planar for 2 and tetrahedral for 3.
