Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-haem iron oxidase that catalyses the formation of bicyclic isopenicillin N from δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV). In this study we report a novel activity for the iron of the IPNS active site, which behaves as a Lewis acid to catalyse the elimination of HF from the fluorinated substrate analogue, δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-β-fluorovaline (ACβFV). X-Ray crystallographic studies of IPNS crystals grown anaerobically with ACβFV reveal that the valinyl β-fluorine is missing from the active site region, and suggest the presence of the unsaturated tripeptide δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-isodehydrovaline in place of substrate ACβFV. 19F NMR studies confirm the release of fluoride from ACβFV in the presence of the active IPNS enzyme. These results suggest a new mode of reactivity for the IPNS iron centre, a mechanism of action that has not previously been reported for any of the iron oxidase enzymes.

Background: Ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular accident, and venous thromboembolism have the presence of a thrombotic event in common and represent the most common causes of death within the population. Objective: Since Schiff base copper(II) complexes are able to interact with polyphosphates (PolyP), a procoagulant and potentially prothrombotic platelet agent, we investigated the antiplatelet aggregating properties of two novel tridentate Schiff base ligands and their corresponding copper( II) complexes. Methods: The Schiff base ligands (L1) and (L2), as well as their corresponding copper(II) complexes (C1) and (C2), were synthesized and characterized by chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry, and UV-Visible, IR and far IR spectroscopy. In addition, EPR studies were carried out for (C1) and (C2), while (L1) and (L2) were further analyzed by 1H and 13C NMR. Tests for antiplatelet aggregation activities of all of the four compounds were conducted. Results: X-ray diffraction studies show that (L1) and (L2) exist in the enol-imine tautomeric form with a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond. NMR studies show that both ligands are found as enol-imine tautomers in CDCl3 solution. In the solid state, the geometry around the copper(II) ion in both (C1) and (C2) is square planar. EPR spectra suggest that the geometry of the complexes is similar to that observed in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Compound (C2) exhibited the strongest antiplatelet aggregation activity. Conclusion: Schiff base copper(II) complexes, which are attracting increasing interest, could represent a new approach to treat thrombosis by blocking the activity of PolyP with a potential anticoagulant activity and, most importantly, demonstrating no adverse bleeding events.

The complex salts CdL4(O3SCF3)2 (L = 2(1H)-pyridinethione (Py2SH), 4(1H)-pyridinethione (Py4SH), or 2(1H)-quinolinethione (Q2SH)) have been synthesized by the stoichiometric reaction of Cd(O3SCF3)2 and the appropriate thione. Both ambient-temperature 13C and reduced-temperature 111Cd NMR of CdL4(O3SCF3)2 in solution are consistent with L being bound through sulfur. Reduced-temperature NMR (31P, 77Se, 111Cd, as appropriate) of mixtures of CdL4(O3SCF3)2 and Cd(EPCy3)4(O3SCF3)2 (E = Se, Cy = c-C6H11) and of Cd(EPCy3)4(O3SCF3)2 (E = S, Se) and L in solution provides evidence for various [CdLn(EPCy3)4-n]2+. Similarly, reduced-temperature metal NMR of [CdL4]2+ and [CdL'4]2+ (L, L' = Py2SH, Py4SH, Q2SH; L not equal L') in solution shows the formation of [CdLnL'4-n]2+. Thus it has been demonstrated that at reduced temperature [CdL4]2+ is intact in solution and exchange of L is slow on the timescale of the metal chemical shift differences. From the NMR studies of Cd(EPCy3)4(O3SCF3)2 (E = S, Se):L mixtures, the binding preferences are found to be L > EPCy3 in solution. Similarly, from the reduced temperature metal NMR spectra of mixtures where L and L' compete for Cd(II) in solution, the binding preferences are Py4SH > Py2SH > Q2SH. The structure of Cd(Py2SH)4(NO3)2 (4) has been determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Colorless crystals of 4 are tetragonal, I4(1)/acd with 8 molecules per unit cell of dimensions a = 18.660(3), c = 15.215(3) Å. The structure is comprised of recognizable NO3- anions and [Cd(Py2SH)4]2+ cations. In the cations, which have S4 symmetry, the ligands are S-bound. A network of NH···O hydrogen bonds links the cations and anions.Key words: aromatic heterocyclic thiones, cadmium complexes, phosphine chalcogenides, 111Cd, 31P, 77Se NMR, X-ray crystallography.

Racemic ketoprofen (KP) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) powder samples from co-precipitation (1), evaporation (2), and heating-under-reflux (3) were analysed using X-ray techniques and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. On the basis of NMR studies carried out in an aqueous solution, it was found that in the samples obtained by methods 1 and 2, there were large excesses of β-CD in relation to KP, 10 and 75 times, respectively, while the sample obtained by method 3 contained equimolar amounts of β-CD and KP. NMR results indicated that KP/β-CD inclusion complexes were formed and the estimated binding constants were approximately 2400 M−1, showing that KP is quite strongly associated with β-CD. On the other hand, the X-ray single-crystal technique in the solid state revealed that the (S)-KP/β-CD inclusion complex with a stoichiometry of 2:2 was obtained as a result of heating-under-reflux, for which the crystal and molecular structure were examined. Among the methods used for the preparation of the KP/β-CD complex, only method 3 is suitable.

The strong Lewis acid tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene can be obtained in both hydrated and non-hydrated forms. This complex coordinates a water molecule inside the cavity via strong O···W interactions with relatively short distances of 2.284(4) and 2.329(2) Å for the tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene··H2O·aniline (1), and the tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene·H2O·toluene (2·toluene), respectively. The strong interactions are also deduced by the relatively high H2O elimination temperature observed by TGA and DSC (above 200 °C). The coordinated water molecule inside the calix[4]arene cavity is characterized by a strong IR absorption at 3616 cm–1, and a narrow resonance at ~1.2 ppm (the chemical shifts of the uncoordinated water are 1.55 and 1.60 ppm in C6D6 and CDCl3, respectively). This water molecule gives rise to H-bonds with aniline in 1. The tungsten oxo complex of 5,11,17,23-tetrabromocalix[4]arene (4), also binds H2O as the characteristic signatures are observed. The successful removal of H2O in 2, is performed under mild conditions using bis(tetrahydrofuran)-uranyl nitrate as a competitive Lewis acid. When this reaction is performed in acetonitrile, butyronitrile or tert-butylnitrile, the corresponding tungsten oxo complexes of calix[4]arene·acetonitrile (3), ·butyronitrile (5), and ·tert-butylnitrile (6) are obtained. The use of uranyl as a H2O abstractor is unprecedented. The X-ray structure of 3 consists of a tungsten oxo complex of calix[4]arene coordinated by an acetonitrile molecule (d(W···N = 2.412(2) Å). The tetra-5,11,17,23-choromethyl-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene reacts with M(O)Cl4 (M = Mo, W) in a 1:1 stoichiometry, via a tetra Friedel–Crafts addition of benzene or toluene, followed by a lower-rim complexation of the metal oxide, to form "flower-shaped" calix[4]arenes. This "one pot" double functionalization is unprecedented.Key words: calix[4]arene, tungsten, molybdenum, X-ray, host–guest, Friedel–Crafts, Lewis acid, uranyl, DSC, TGA.
