ABSTRACT l-norepinephrine (NE) is a neuroendocrine catecholamine that supports bacterial growth by mobilizing iron from a primary source such as holotransferrin to increase its bioavailability for cellular uptake. Iron complexes of NE resemble those of bacterial siderophores that are scavenged by human neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) as part of the innate immune defense. Here, we show that NGAL binds iron-complexed NE, indicating physiological relevance for both bacterial and human iron metabolism. The fluorescence titration of purified recombinant NGAL with the FeIII·(NE)3 iron complex revealed high affinity for this ligand, with a K D of 50.6 nM. In contrast, the binding protein FeuA of Bacillus subtilis, which is involved in the bacterial uptake of triscatecholate iron complexes, has a K D for FeIII·(NE)3 of 1.6 μM, indicating that NGAL is an efficient competitor. Furthermore, NGAL was shown to inhibit the NE-mediated growth of both E. coli and B. subtilis strains that either are capable or incapable of producing their native siderophores enterobactin and bacillibactin, respectively. These experiments suggest that iron-complexed NE directly serves as an iron source for bacterial uptake systems, and that NGAL can function as an antagonist of this iron acquisition process. Interestingly, a functional FeuABC uptake system was shown to be necessary for NE-mediated growth stimulation as well as its NGAL-dependent inhibition. This study demonstrates for the first time that human NGAL not only neutralizes pathogen-derived virulence factors but also can effectively scavenge an iron-chelate complex abundant in the host.

Hydride and cyanide addition to a series of di- and polycyclopentadienyliron arene complex cations with etheric bridges is described. Reaction of the di-iron complexes with sodium borohydride resulted in the formation of a number of adducts.p-Methyl- and o,o-dimethylphenoxybenzene cyclopentadienyliron complexes were used as models in this study to allow for the characterization of the analagous di-iron complexes. The use of HH COSY and CH COSY NMR techniques enabled us to identify the isomeric nature of these adducts. The hydride addition results indicated that the etheric substituent had the predominant effect over the methyl group, leading to a higher addition ratio to the meta-, followed by the ortho-, then the para-positions. It was also clear that in the di-iron system, the hydride addition to each complexed arene ring took place independently. The addition of the cyanide anion to di- and poly-iron arene systems was more selective than that of the hydride anion. Reaction of sodium cyanide with p-methyl- or o-methyl-substituted arene complexes led to the formation of one adduct, with the cyanide being added to the meta position to the etheric bridges. However, cyanide addition to the di-iron complex, with a methyl substituent attached at the meta position of each complexed arene, led to the formation of a mixture of adducts. Cyanide addition to the poly-iron system with p-substituted arenes proved to be very selective, allowing for the formation of one adduct. Oxidative demetallation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) produced the uncomplexed polyaromatic ethers with cyano groups in a very good yield. Key words: cyclopentadienyliron, arene, nucleophilic addition, hydride, cyanide.

Reactions of β-chlorovinylcarbonyl compounds 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, with sodium dicarbonyl-η5-cyclopentadienyl-ferrate (NaFp) furnish β-acylvinyl-dicarbonyl-η5-cyclopentadienyliron complexes 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 and binuclear iron complexes 26-29. Spectral data demonstrate the donor effect of the Fp group. Irradiation of these complexes in the presence of triphenylphosphane delivers β-acylvinyl-carbonyl-η5-cyclopentadienyl-triphenylphosphane-iron complexes 34, 35. Reaction of glutarimides with oxalyl chloride gives rise to oxazolo-[3,2 a]pyridines 13. Benzylidenemalonyl chloride reacts with FpCS2Na to form benzylidenethietane-2,4-dione (32). A β-acylethinyl-carbonyl-η5-dicyclopentadienyl-iron complex 43 has been prepared.
