Polypyridyl Complexes with Oo'-, Ono'-, Or No-Chelating Coligands SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF METAL(II) POLYPYRIDYL COMPLEXES WITH OO'-, ONO'-, OR NO-CHELATING COLIGANDS CHIN LEE FANG MASTER OF SCIENCE FACULTY OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITI TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN JUNE 2013 SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF METAL(II) POLYPYRIDYL COMPLEXES WITH OO'-, ONO'-, OR NO-CHELATING COLIGANDS By CHIN LEE FANG A thesis submitted to the Department of Chemical Science, Faculty of Science, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science JUNE 2013 ABSTRACT SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF METAL(II) POLYPYRIDYL COMPLEXES WITH OO'-, ONO'-, OR NO-CHELATING COLIGANDS Chin Lee Fang Exploring the combination of ligands and metal(II) ion to form ternary metal complexes is an attempt to gain insight into rational design of metal complexes for specific application, such as anticancer drug. 1,10- phenanthroline (phen) has been chosen as the main ligand and as an intercalator. This kind of ternary metal(II) complexes allows intercalation of phen ligand between the DNA nucleobase pairs and orientation of the coligand(s) to interact with nucleobases in their vicinity. Maltol, dipicolinic acid and threonine have been chosen as coligands partly because their non- toxicity may results in lower toxicity of metal(II) complexes. The coordinated maltolate has H-acceptor site, dipicolinate have two H-acceptor sites whereas threonine has both H-acceptor and H-donor sites. This study compares the effect of three coligands, the number of chelated coligand and the types of metal(II) ion on the physical and biological properties of resultant ternary metal(II) complexes. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, UV-Vis and FL spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, molar conductivity, ESI-MS, TGA and CD spectroscopy. Based on the elemental analysis, molecular formulae of the synthesised metal(II) complexes are [Co(C12H8N2)(C6H5O3)Cl]·4H2O (1), [Cu(C12H8N2)(C6H5O3)Cl]·½H2O (2), [Zn(C12H8N2)(C6H5O3)Cl]·1½H2O (3), [Co(C12H8N2)(C6H5O3)(C6H5O3)]·5H2O (4), [Co(C12H8N2)(C7H3NO4)(H2O)]·2H2O (5), {[Cu2(C12H8N2)3(C7H4NO4)(H2O)][Cu(C7H3NO4)2]·[(11H2O)(CH3OH)]} (6), [Zn(C12H8N2)(C7H3NO4)(H2O)]·H2O (7), [Cu(C4H8NO3)(C12H8N2)(H2O)Cl]·2H2O (8 - 9) and [Zn(C4H8NO3)(C12H8N2)(H2O)Cl]·2H2O (10 - 11) [phen = C12H8N2; maltolate = C6H5O3; μ-dipicolinate = C7H4NO4; dipicolinate = C7H3NO4; threoninate = C4H8NO3]. X-ray structure analyses show that complexes 4 - 5 and 7 - 11 have octahedral geometry about the central metal(II) ion. Complex 6 is a trinuclear complex with a bridging dipicolinate ligand. A change in the type of metal(II) ion, coligand and the number of coordinated ligands influence the FL emission intensities but not the λmax and the shape of the bands. Most of the studied compounds are 1:1 electrolyte except for complexes 4, 5 and 7 which are non- electrolytes in water-methanol (1:1 v/v) solution. Based on the molar conductance and ESI-MS obtained, metal(II) complexes studied were found to be stable within the duration of the measurement up to 24 hours except for the neutral [Co(phen)(maltolate)2]. The lability of the metal complexes studied appears to depend on the type of metal, nature of the coordinated ligand and the number of the coordinated ligand. The complexes 8 - 11 are optically active and they are grouped into two pairs of enantiomers based on their CD spectra. However, there are no significant differences observed for each enantiomer pair of complexes in FTIR, CHN, UV-Vis, FL, molar conductivity, ESI-MS and TGA. Meanwhile, two groups of metal(II) complexes viz. Co(II) complexes (1 and 4) and Zn(II) complexes (7 and 10) were selected to investigate the effect of changing the coligand on their biological properties. It is believed that the type of coordinated ligand is a crucial factor in bestowing the binding site specificity and selectivity of a given metal complex. Moreover, not many Co(II) and Zn(II) complexes have been studied for their anticancer properties. Hence, it will be interesting to find out the biological properties of Co(II) complexes (1 and 4) and Zn(II) complexes (7 and 10). Indeed, a change of coligand and the number of chelated ligands of Co(II) and Zn(II) complexes seem to influence their DNA recognition, topoisomerase I inhibition and antiproliferative properties. Both Zn(II) complexes (7 and 10) can inhibit topoisomerase I, and have better anticancer activity than cisplatin against nasopharyngeal cancer cell lines, HK1 and HONE-1, with IC50 values in low µM range. [Zn(phen)(L-threoninate)(H2O)Cl]·2H2O (10) has the highest therapeutic index for HK1 (3.9). Both Zn(II) complexes (7 and 10) can induce cell death by apoptosis. Changing the coligand in the Zn(II) complexes (7 and 10) affects the biological properties of the complexes such as the binding affinity for some DNA sequences, nucleobase sequence-selective binding, the phase at which cell cycle progression was arrested for treated cancer cells and their therapeutic index.

Due to the difficulty in controlling endospore contaminants, they are of interest Bacilli 4 in clean rooms, food processing, and production industries, while benefical endospore-formers are sought Clostridia 5 for potential utility. Dipicolinic acid production has traditionally been recognized in Bacilli, Clostridia, and Dipicolinic Acid 6 Paenibacilli. Here, sixty-seven strains of aerobic and anaerobic endospore-forming bacteria belonging to the Endospore 7 genera Bacillus, Brevibacillus, Clostridium, Fontibacillus, Lysinibacillus, Paenibacillus, Rummeliibacillus, and Iron-sulfur flavo- 8 Terribacillus were grown axenically and sporulated biomasses were assayed for dipicolinic acid production protein 9 using fluorimetric detection. Strains testing positive were sequenced and the genomes analyzed to identify 10 dipicolinic acid biosynthesis genes. The well-characterized biosynthesis pathway was conserved in 59 strains 11 of Bacilli and Paenibacilli as well as two strains of Clostridia; six strains of Clostridia lacked homologs to genes 12 recognized as involved in dipicolinic acid biosynthesis.
