ii ABSTRACT

This dissertation discusses a newly growing area of the synthesis from xanthine ligands of new silver(I) N- heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes and their potential antimicrobial use in cystic fibrosis lung infections. In chapter I, the ligand properties of

NHCs and the synthetic methods for the formation of silver(I) NHC complexes are outlined. An overview of silver antimicrobials and previously synthesized silver(I) NHC complexes from pyridine linked and tripodal imidazolium salts for the topical applications is discussed. Furthermore, a brief summary of cystic fibrosis is given.

Chapter II presents the introductory studies to explore the NHC silver(I) chemistry of caffeine. Formation and characterization of mono and dinuclear bis(NHC) silver(I) complexes from different methylated caffeine salts are given. Chapter III focuses on the formation of an NHC-silver(I) complex from the iodide salt of methylated caffeine. This complex demonstrates a promising antimicrobial activity against numerous resistant respiratory pathogens including members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex which causes a high rate of mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis. Synthesis of NHC silver(I) complexes from theophylline derivatives is given in chapter IV. The antimicrobial activity of these complexes against the same pathogens used in chapter III is presented. In chapter V, the use of a bis(NHC) silver(I) complex from methylated caffeine as a carbene transfer agent is demonstrated and formation of a Rh(I) NHC

iii complex is outlined. Furthermore, the synthesis and characterization of Pt(II) and Pd(II)

NHC complexes of methylated caffeine are presented.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHCs) and Silver(I) Complexes

N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are cyclic carbenes (Figure 1.1) that are usually derived from the deprotonation of imidazolium salts. NHC chemistry was first investigated by Wanzlick1,2,3 in the early 1960s leading to the synthesis of the first NHC transition metal complexes of and by Öfele4 and Wanzlick5 in 1968.

The following decades saw limited activity in this area, the most notable by Lappert and co-workers who synthesized several NHC metal complexes from electron- rich olefins.6,7,8 The isolation of the first stable NHC, 1,3-diadmantylimidazol-2-ylidene, by

Arduengo in 19919 was a breakthrough and led to significant interest in this field of chemistry. The coordination chemistry of NHC metal complexes continues to be actively studied, particularly for catalytic applications.10

1 NHCs are strong nucleophiles and bind to both main group and transition metals often with greater stability than phosphines.11 The carbene atom of NHCs is

stabilized by the pp - pp electron donation of the two adjacent atoms accounting

for a stabilization energy of approximately 70 kcal/mol. For unsaturated systems

aromaticity can contribute an additional 25 kcal/mol of stabilization (Figure 1.2).11,12 The

nitrogen atoms also stabilize the lone pair electrons of the carbene inductively.11,12

Although NHCs are viewed mainly as ı-donors, recent theoretical and structural studies13,14,15,16,17 suggest the existence of some ɉ-backbonding for certain metal centers

2 The first silver NHC complex was synthesized using a free carbene (Scheme

1.1).19 However, this method has been applied to the synthesis of only a limited number of silver NHC complexes20-22 due to the difficulty of generating most free carbenes, which have sensitivities to air, moisture and heat.18,23

Scheme 1.1 Synthesis of the first Ag(I) NHC complex

The in situ deprotonation of imidazolium salts with basic silver precursors is the most commonly used method to synthesize silver NHC complexes. The most commonly utilized is silver(I) ; other bases such as silver(I) acetate and silver(I) carbonate are also used. The first example of this method was the reaction of a triazolium salt and silver acetate by Bertrand and co- workers (Scheme 1.2).24,25 The reaction of dicationic triazolium salt with two equivalents of silver(I) acetate resulted in the formation of the first polymeric NHC silver(I) complex.

The use of silver oxide to give silver complexes of 1, 3- diethylbenzimidazole- 2- ylidine was pioneered by Lin and co- workers (Scheme 1.3).26 More recently, Danapolous and

co-workers reported the use of to deprotonate imidazolium salts to give

silver NHC complexes (Scheme 1.4).27

Scheme 1.4 Synthesis of Ag(I) NHC Complex using Ag2CO3

The use of silver oxide has made the synthesis of silver NHC complexes much easier.28,29 The reactions can be performed at ambient conditions, in a variety of solvents including water with little work up.30,31,32 The formation of silver complexes in water suggests that the deprotonation of the imidazolium salt and coordination to the metal center is a concerted process because free NHCs are water sensitive.23

Silver NHC complexes show various structures in the solid state. The amounts and nature of silver reagents and imidazolium salts used in the synthesis, counter anions, solvent and temperature can all affect the structure. A more detailed discussion on the synthesis, characterization and structural diversity of the silver NHC complexes can be found in reviews by Lin and Vasam and Garrison and Youngs.18,23

The lack of 107/109Ag-13Ccouplings in various silver NHC complexes suggests that the silver-carbene bond is labile, and has to their use as carbene transfer reagents.

This method was first used by Lin and coworkers to synthesize palladium and gold

5 complexes,26 and several transition metal complexes have been synthesized utilizing this

method (Scheme 1.5).34,35,36

1.2 The Use of Silver Compounds as Antimicrobials

Background on Silver Antimicrobials

The use of silver as an antimicrobial can be traced to ancient times. Early

civilizations used silver metal to purify and store drinking water.37 The antimicrobial properties of were well known long before the 1800s, and it was recognized as an antiseptic in wound care for more than 200 years.38 In the late nineteenth century, it was reported that at very low concentrations silver compounds killed certain microorganisms and the term oligodynamic, active with few ions, was used for the first time to explain this property.37,39 In 1881, Créde began the use of 2 % silver nitrate solution to prevent eye infections in newborns.40 Colloidal silver solutions were introduced in the early twentieth century to avoid the irritation associated with silver

6 nitrate and remained popular until the 1940s.41,42 Silver compounds then lost favor

following the discovery of penicillin and other new antibiotics.38 The use of 0.5 % silver

nitrate solution for the treatment of burn wounds by Moyer rekindled an interest in the

area.43 However, the true revival of the use of silver antibiotics came with the discovery

of silver sulfadiazine by Fox in 1968.44 Silver sulfadiazine (Figure 1.4) is used for the

treatment of burn wounds, and was designed to combine the antibiotic sulfonamide,

sulfadizine, with silver in order to obtain a wide spectrum antibiotic. It is a water

insoluble complex and is polymeric in the solid state.45 Silver sulfadiazine has been

shown to be effective against a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and

is marketed as a water soluble cream, Silvadeneâ cream 1%. It remains one of the most

widely used antimicrobials for infections associated with burns.

Figure 1.4 Simplified drawing of silver sulfadiazine. (Taken from reference 50)

Silver has also been introduced into wound dressings in the form of organic and

inorganic silver compounds and as silver metal, usually in the nanocrystalline form.46

The aim of the silver containing dressings is not only the sustained release of silver to the

wound site creating a barrier for infection, but also ease of use, management of wound

exudates and provision of moisture required for optimal wound healing.38,46a Silver has

7 been impregnated in several different kinds of dressing materials including nylon fabrics, meshes, biodegradable collogens, low adherent materials, carbon fibers, and hydrofiber alginates. 38,46a Such silver containing dressings have been used in the treatment of acute

and chronic wounds, leg ulcers and several degrees of burn wounds.46

Mechanism of Action and Toxicity of Silver

Silver is effective against a broad range of gram negative and gram positive

bacteria, fungi and yeast. The pure metal is inactive; however, in the presence of

moisture, silver readily ionizes to give silver cations, which show antimicrobial

activity.47,34 As early as the 1800s, Von Nägeli reported that 10-5- 10-8 M of silver cations derived from metallic silver were effective to stop the growth of A. niger spores.39

The activity of silver cations depends on their bioavailability.48 For example,

recent studies have shown that in the presence of high concentrations of chloride anions,

– silver becomes more bioavailable forming soluble anionic AgCl2 compounds rather than precipitating as AgCl. Both sensitive and resistant bacteria show increased sensitivity to silver in the presence of chloride anions which is likely due to increased access of the

Ag+ ion to the cell membrane.49 Delivery methods, and ionization of the silver sources can also affect the bioavailability. 48,50

The mechanism of action of silver cations is not yet completely understood.

Silver cations bind to bacteria cell surfaces, and interact with enzymes and proteins important for cell wall synthesis. Silver can also affect cell respiration, transport and metabolism, as well as DNA, RNA, and subcellular organelle structure.46,50 Evidence for the action of the silver cations on the cell wall of the yeast C. albicans has been

8 reported.51 It was found that silver cations bind to the cysteine residues of the essential enzyme phosphomannose isomerase used in the synthesis of the yeast cell wall resulting in loss of cell wall integrity. In addition to its antimicrobial activity, silver helps the healing process by blocking matrix metalloproteinases, which delay healing of chronic wounds.52,53

Silver antimicrobials have been known to cause a rarely seen cosmetic side effect

known as argyria. Argyria is a gray to blue discoloration of the skin due to the deposition

of silver sulfide and silver(0).54,55 It is an irreversible side effect resulting from chronic exposure to silver containing products. Silver taken into systematic circulation is excreted in the urine. The levels of silver in urine of burn patients treated with topical silver antimicrobials has been shown to increase.56,57 Some cytotoxicity studies have shown that silver salts affect the growth of keratin producing epidermal cells,58 bone

marrow,59 connective tissue cells,60 hepatocytes61 and lymphocytes62 by inhibiting

cellular respiration with the loss of ATP.60 However, other studies have reported no

observed cytotoxicity of silver.63-65 Therefore, the present literature is inconclusive

regarding the potential toxicitites of silver antimicrobials.

Bacterial resistance to silver has been rarely reported. Silver sulfadiazine

resistant strains of P. aeruginosa have arisen in burn units; the mechanism of resistance is currently unknown.66-68 In contrast, the mechanism of resistance of a Salmonella strain that resulted in numerous patient deaths and the closing of a burn ward69 has been well studied. This strain carries a plasmid, pMG101 that encodes a peri-plasmic silver binding protein (SilE) and two parallel efflux pumps (SilCBA and SilP).48,70 Subsequently,

9 plasmid-mediated resistance to silver has been identified in several other strains of bacteria.71,72,73

1.3 Current Literature on the Antimicrobial Properties of Silver NHC Complexes

Pyridine Linked Pincer NHC- Silver Complexes

Widely used topical antimicrobials such as silver sulfadiazine and silver nitrate

have been observed to kill bacteria quickly, but loose their effect in a short time causing

the wound site to be reinfected. Moreover, discoloration of the skin and development of

resistance of some organisms to sulfonamides limit the use of conventional silver

antibiotics.66- 68 The slow release of silver at the wound sites is essential for faster healing

and the prevention of infections.53,74 The strong binding ability of NHCs to silver can

result in more stable complexes that can slowly release silver ions, thus retaining the

antimicrobial effect over a longer period of time. The NHC silver(I) complexes 2a and

2b from pincer ligands 1a and 1b that are substituted by hydroxyethyl and hydroxypropyl groups were synthesized. The antimicrobial properties against clinically important microorganisms was investigated (Scheme 1.6).75

Scheme 1.6 Synthesis of 2a and 2b 10 The pyridine linked pincer ligands were synthesized from the reaction of 2,6- bis(imidazolemethyl)pyridine with iodoethanol and 3-bromopropanol respectively. The reaction of 1a and 1b with silver oxide in aqeous methanol gave the corresponding silver

NHC complexes, 2a and 2b. Complex 2a was observed to be a one dimensional polymer

in the solid state (Figure 1.5) with the carbene-silver-carbene bond angle between the

repeating units of 174.7(4)o and the silver carbene bond lengths of 2.108(11) and

2.060(13) Å. However, mass spectrometry suggested that 2a exists as a monomer in the gas phase.

Complexes 2a and 2b were tested against the clinically relevant bacteria, E. coli,

S. aureus and P. aeruginosa to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).

MIC denotes the lowest concentration that inhibits the visible growth of the microorganism after overnight incubation76 and is accomplished through a standard serial dilution method. Upon dissolving the complexes in the culture medium (Luria-Bertani broth), both NHC silver complexes and silver nitrate precipitate a small amount of . The precipitate was filtered and a dilution series of the complexes were prepared. Freshly grown organisms at a constant volume were added to the dilution series on a daily basis. As shown in Table 1.1, 2a and 2b showed better bacteriostatic effect (lower MIC value) than silver nitrate at about 2.7 times lower initial silver ion concentration. This result showed that although the theoretical amounts of the silver cations released from 2a and 2b were lower than silver nitrate, more silver cations were in the solution from 2a and 2b. Most of the silver cations from silver nitrate were precipitated as silver chloride and lost activity. The 0.1% chloride anion concentration in the culture medium is close to physiological concentrations of chloride (0.15 M

11 chloride). Under these conditions, 2a and 2b were more stable than silver nitrate.

Moreover, when the solutions demonstrating the lowest MIC value were inoculated onto

agar plates, the growth of organisms treated with 2a and 2b was delayed for a longer time

than was the growth of organisms treated with silver nitrate. The observed results can be

explained by the slow decomposition of the silver NHC complexes in the aqueous culture

medium to imidazolim cation and biologically active silver species. Compounds 2a and

2b were observed to decompose over a period of weeks in deionized water.

Another pyridine linked pincer NHC precursor was obtained by the reaction of

2,6- bis(imidazolemethyl) pyridine with 1,3- dichloroacetone. The expected imidazolium salt was obtained as a gem-diol 3 instead of carbonyl linked cyclophane, which can be explained by an catalyzed process. The reaction of 3 with silver oxide in aqueous methanol gave complex 4 (scheme 1.7).77 The single crystals of 4 have silver carbene bond lengths ranging between 2.072(5) to 2.085(5) Å. There is a weak interaction between the silver centers at a distance of 3.375(10) Å, which is within the van der Waals distance (3.44 Å) for two silver atoms (Figure 1.6).

Complex 4 was encapsulated into an electrospun polymer mat and the antimicrobial activity of this mat was investigated against the bacteria E.coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aeureus and the fungi C. albicans, A. niger and S. cerevisiae. Electrospun polymer mats have found wide range of biomedical applications including wound dressings. The polymer mats are obtained by using electrically charged polymer solution or melt which creates fibers upon elongation. With the electrospinning process, nanofiber polymer composites can be easily produced.78 Complex 4 is slightly soluble in water, but

14 very soluble in and stable for more than 24 hours. Complex 4 was encapsulated into a medical grade polymer Tecophilic® (polyurethane), which can be electrospun from ethanol. Tecophilic® can absorb water up to 150% of its dry weight. Absorption of water by the polymer mat provides the required moisture for the slow release of the silver active species from the encapsulated complex and also provides essential moisture for wound healing.79 The fiber mat encapsulated with 4 was characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In dry conditions, a uniform mixing of 4 and the polymer fibers was observed. However, when the fiber mat was exposed to humidity, slow decomposition of 4 resulted in the deposition of nano sized silver particles in the fiber mats (Figure 1.7).

A susceptibility test to determine the bactericidal activity of encapsulated complex 4 was performed by using a modified Kirby Bauer method. Pure Tecophilic® fiber mat was used as the control agent. Fiber mats with a composition of 25% 4 by weight (25% w) and 75% Tecophilic® by weight (75% w) and 75% w 4 and 25% w

Tecophilic® were put on to LB agar plates containing a lawn of organisms. The plates were incubated at 35 oC overnight for the bacteria and at 25 oC for 48 h for fungi. Zones of inhibition around the fiber mats containing different silver complexes were observed

(Figure 1.8). However, this test was not a quantitative tool to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, because the diameters of the zones of inhibition were found to be in non-linear relationship to the amount of the silver complex encapsulated (25% w 4-75% w

Tecophilic®, 2.00 mm versus 75% w 4-25% w Tecophilic®, 4.00 mm).

16 Complex 4 is sparingly soluble and decomposes quickly in water. Silver nitrate showed better antimicrobial activity (MIC of 433 ȝg/mL) than the unencapsulated complex (838 ȝg/mL) after a 2 day-incubation period. However when 4 was encapsulated, the polymer mat containing 25% w 4–75% w Tecophilic® having the lowest initial silver concentration of 140 ȝg/mL ([Ag+] = 140 ȝg/mL) showed a complete killing of bacteria for days with the addition of a constant volume of freshly grown organisms on a daily basis. Moreover, when the killing rate of the encapsulated complex was compared with the conventionally used 0.5% silver nitrate and 1% silver sulfadiazine cream (SSD) (in the culture environment on a constant amount of bacteria with respect to time) both polymer mats 75 % w 4- 25 % w Tecophilic® ([Ag+] = 424 ȝg/mL) and 25% w 4-75% w Tecophilic® ([Ag+] = 140 ȝg/mL) showed a better killing rate than SSD

([Ag+] = 3020 ȝg/mL). The fiber mat having about 8-fold lower silver concentration

([Ag+] = 424 ȝg/mL) than the silver nitrate ([Ag+] = 3176 ȝg/mL) showed almost the same kill rate.

Encapsulation of the silver NHC complex increased the antimicrobial activity by enabling a slower release of active silver species. The fibers of the polymeric mat also provided a greater surface area for the active silver species to be released and increased the efficiency of the silver. The deposition of the active silver species in the fiber mat helps the culture medium to retain its original color, unlike silver nitrate which changes the LB broth to dark brown. The active species released from the spun mat in the culture environment may include silver cations, nano sized silver particles, clusters of silver cations, and anionic silver chloride complexes.

17 Silver Tripodal N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes

A trinuclear silver(I) NHC complex 6 was synthesized from tris-imidazolium salt

of pentaerythritol 5 and silver(I) oxide in methanol (Scheme 1.8).50 Complex 6 showed a

13 doublet carbene peak centered at 182 ppm with a coupling constant JAg- Cs = 196 Hz

109 13 80 J 109 13 which is close to usually observed Ag- C coupling ( Ag- C = 204-220 Hz). Single

crystals of 6 could not be obtained. Therefore the exact nature of the anion of 6 was not

determined. Based on elemental analysis, mass spectrometry and x-ray energy dispersive

spectroscopy (XEDS), the presence of bromide was confirmed.

Complex 6 was encapsulated in Techophilic® polymer and antimicrobial activity

of the polymer mat was tested against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, C. albicans, A.

niger, and S. cerevisiae on a lawn of organism in an agar plate. Complex 6 showed both

bactericidal and fungicidal activity creating a clear zone around the polymer mat.

18 The electrospun fibers of 6 showed an aggregation of silver particles in the range

of 50-100 nm in diameter when exposed to water (Figure 1.9). Formation of larger sized

silver particles than the ones from complex 4 (<20 nm) on the electrospun fiber surface

was thought to be due to the presence of bromide in the complex 6. Based on the 1H

NMR spectrum of 6 encapsulated in Techophilic®, most of the ligand 5 was observed to be kept in the polymer matrix of the mat while the complex slowly decomposes in water. The silver particles accumulate on the surface of the fibers.

1.4 Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-threatening, autosomal recessive disease seen mostly in Caucasian populations.81 It affects 30,000 people in the United States and 70,000 people worldwide.82 It is caused by the mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene found on chromosome 7.

Since the discovery of CFTR gene in 1989, more than 1,200 mutations of this gene have

19 been reported. This gene encodes a membrane protein, CFTR, expressed in the epithelial cells. CFTR protein is an integral membrane protein composed of 1480 amino . It functions as a chloride selective ion channel and is also known to have a regulatory influence on the other ion channels.83 Its activity is regulated by cyclic adenosine

monophosphate (c-AMP) and ATP hydrolysis is needed for channel gating. It is found in

several tissues producing mucus, sweat, saliva, tears, and digestive enzymes establishing

fluid consistency of these secretions.84

Although CF is a multi-organ disease, the most severe effects are seen in the

lungs.85 Most of the morbidity and the mortality is caused by the chronic infections and inflammation seen in the respiratory airways. The mechanism of how the defective

CFTR protein causes progressive lung disorders is not understood completely. Several possible theories have been proposed.81,84,86,87,88 According to a major theory81,84,87 malfunction of the CFTR protein decreases chloride release into the mucus layer on the airway surface. This causes excessive absorption of sodium and water from the mucus to the airway lining epithelial cells. A viscous mucus forms and traps bacteria.

The average survival age for CF patients is mid-30s and more than 90% of the patients die from respiratory failure.75 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Haemophilus influenzee (H. influenzee) are the most common pathogens causing chronic lung infections.89 The less common pathogens are a group of bacteria known as Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) organisms.90 P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and Bcc organisms cause most of the morbidity and mortality.91

These bacteria form a protective matrix known as a biofilm and show enhanced resistance to antibiotics.83 Especially, Bcc organisms have an inherent antibiotic

20 resistance and cause more morbidity and mortality than P. aeruginosa. CF patients infected with Bcc organisms can have “cepacia syndrome” causing progressive loss of lung function and death in a short time. One of the recently emerging Bcc organisms, B. cepacia genomovar VI, known as B. dolosa, shows the most antibiotic resistance among the Bcc organisms causing a high rate of lung deterioration and death in

CF patients.90 Antibiotics play a key role in the improved survival for the CF patients.

The focus in this area is on the use of nebulized antibiotics.92,93,94

21 CHAPTER II

SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF

BIS(N-HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE) COMPLEXES OF SILVER(I) FROM

CAFFEINE

2.1 Introduction

Caffeine, 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, is one of the xanthine derivatives that are generally used in medicines as diuretics, central nervous system stimulants and inhibitors of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (c-AMP) phosphodiesterase.95 It is the most popular methylxanthine due to its commercial availability, low cost, and low toxicity. The presence of the methylimidazole moiety in the structure of caffeine makes it a valuable candidate for the synthesis of an N-heterocyclic carbene. The first step is to obtain an imidazolium cation, such as 1,3,7,9-tetramethylxanthinium or methylated caffeine, from caffeine. Previously, formation of methylated caffeine with ,96 methylsulfate,95,97 tosylate,97 and iodide98 anions were reported. The physiological action of 1,3,7,9-tetramethylxanthinium hydroxide in frogs was explored.96 After introduction of the following work, another NHC precursor of methylated caffeine with tetraflouroborate anion was also reported by Herrmann and coworkers.99 Several silver(I) complexes of xanthines including caffeine in which xanthines are linked to silver(I)

22 via N-9 atom were synthesized.100 However, to the best of our knowledge formation of a silver(I) NHC complex from caffeine has not been reported. We have reported herein the synthesis and characterization of two bis(NHC) silver(I) complexes 2a, 2b from

methylated caffeine 1a, 1b and a dinuclear silver(I) bis(NHC) complex, 2d with the bridging nitrate units from nitrate salt of the methylated caffeine 1d (Figure 2.1).31

2.2 Results and Discussion

Methylated caffeine, 1,3,7,9-tetramethylxanthinium 1a, was synthesized by the reaction of caffeine with dimethyl sulfate in a 1:2 molar ratio95 and converted to 1b by

23 1 13 ion exchange with NH4PF6 (Scheme 2.1). The H and C NMR spectra of 1a and 1b are similar and consistent with their molecular structures. In the 1H NMR spectra of 1a and

1b, the imidazolium protons appear at 8.93 and 9.25 ppm, respectively. This is consistent with the general C-H acidic proton shift of imidazolium salts (į = 8-10).11 The 13C NMR shift of the N-C-N sp2 , that later become the carbene centers, appear at 139.8 and

139.4 ppm for 1a and 1b, respectively.

Scheme 2.1 Synthesis of 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d

The water soluble ligand 1a was reacted with Ag2O in water to form 2a.

Complex 2a is stable in water and in the dark for five days. Similarly, ligand 1b readily

o reacted with Ag2O in DMSO at 60 C to yield the silver NHC complex 2b in high yield

(Scheme 2.2). Complex 2b is stable in air and light up to its and is only soluble in DMSO. It is stable in wet DMSO for months in the light. The formation of 2a

24 and 2b can be monitored by changes in the 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra (Figure 2.2).

The disappearance of the resonance for the imidazolium protons of 1a and 1b and the

appearance of the resonance for the carbene carbon atoms at 187.1 and 186.6 ppm

respectively, shows the formation of expected NHC silver carbene complexes. The lack

of C-107Ag and C-109Ag couplings suggests fluxional behavior on the 13C NMR timescale as observed with many silver(I) complexes.101 It has been reported that silver-carbene complexes without Ag-carbene couplings are useful as carbene transfer reagents due to their dynamic behavior in solution.26,102 + CH O CH3 O 3 H3C O CH H C CH3 3 3 N N N 2 N Ag2O/H2O N N X Ag CH3SO4 N O N N N N O N X= CH3SO4 O CH CH CH3 3 H3C CH3 CH3 3 2a

25 Figure 2.2 Formation of 2a from 1a confirmed by 13C NMR

26 Methylation of caffeine was also performed with methyl iodide in boiling DMF in order to obtain an NHC precursor, 1c with a biologically relevant anion. The procedure for the synthesis of 1c, its reaction with silver(I) precursors and antimicrobial applications are given in detail in the next chapter. Compound 1c was dissolved in acetonitrile and one equivalent of AgNO3 was added (Scheme 2.1). The resulting silver(I) iodide precipitate was filtered off and solvent removed in vacuo to obtain 1d.

1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of 1d are very similar to spectra of 1a and 1b. The imidazolium proton resonance for 1d appears at 9.33 ppm. ESI-MS analysis shows the

+ [M-NO3] cation by a m/z peak at 209.1. Elemental analysis of crystals of 1d obtained from the slow evaporation of concentrated methanol solution confirms the presence of nitrate anion. The reaction of 1d with silver(I) oxide in 2:1 ratio in acetonitrile did not result in formation of a silver(I) complex even by heating. Complex 2d was formed by the reaction of 1d with excess silver(I) oxide (1:1 ratio) in acetonitrile at room temperature (Scheme 2.2). 2d is a light stable solid and was observed to be stable in water for 36 days. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of 2d are also very similar to spectra of 2a and 2b. Carbene carbon appearing at 187.1 ppm and ESI-MS spectrum show the

+ + existence of the [Ag(NHC)2] cation as well as [Ag(NHC)] . The molecular structure of complex 2d was revealed by X-ray diffraction studies.

Single crystals of 1b were obtained by the anion exchange of 1a in water. The asymmetric unit of this molecule consists of one methylated caffeine cation and one hexafluorophosphate counteranion. The ligand 1b has an N1-C1-N2 angle of 110.9(3)o.

The N1-C1 and N2-C1 bond lengths are 1.341(4) Å and 1.311(4) Å, respectively (Figure

2.3 and Table 2.1).

27 Figure 2.3 Molecular structure of the cationic part of 1b. Thermal ellipsoids are drawn at 50% probability.

Crystals of 2b suitable for single crystal x-ray diffraction studies were grown

from a concentrated solution of DMSO and toluene (Figure 2.4). The following

explanation about the crystal structure of 2b was written by Matthew Panzner. The

asymmetric unit contains one quarter of both the methylated caffeine silver complex and

the disordered hexafluorophosphate anion together with toluene as a noncoordinating

solvent molecule located on the (x, 0, z) mirror plane. The silver and atoms

are on special positions (0, 0, z) and (0, 1/2, z), respectively, with both having mm2

symmetry. Complex 2b is a planar structure, crystallographically imposed, with a silver

carbene bond distance of 2.068(4) Å. The C1-Ag-C1A bond angle is 171.4(3)o that slightly deviates from the linear geometry expected for the complex (Table 2.1).

29 Figure 2.5 Molecular structure of 2d. Thermal ellipsoids are drawn at 50% probability.

Single crystals of 2d were grown from the concentrated 1:4 methanol/acetonitrile

solution (Figure 2.5). The two silver atoms are in distorted trigonal planar geometry with

the bond angles of 149.45(12)o, 142.86(11)o and 64.98(10)o. Silver carbene bond length is

2.087(4) Å. Nitrate molecules act bridging ligands between two silver atoms. The silver- bond lengths of 2.328(2) Å and 2.374(2) Å are consistent with those reported for silver(I) nitrate complexes in the literature (Table 2.1).103,104,105 The distance between two silver atoms is too long to have a non-bonding interaction (Ag…Ag distance of ~3.9 Å vs. van der Waals radii 3.44 Å106). Although several silver(I) NHC complexes with bridging halides have been characterized, to the best of our knowledge silver(I) NHC complexes with bridging nitrate anions are rare.18,107

30 2.3 Conclusions

The stability in aerobic conditions and relatively easy synthesis of methylated caffeine make it a very useful N-heterocyclic carbene precursor. We have synthesized bis(NHC) silver(I) complexes 2a, 2b and a dinuclear silver(I) bis(NHC) complex, 2d from different salts of methylated caffeine. These are the first examples of silver(I) NHC complexes derived from caffeine. The formation 2a in water suggests that the deprotonation of the imidazolium salt and coordination to the metal center is a concerted process. All the synthesized complexes show fluxional behavior in solution and can be used as carbene transfer reagents for the synthesis of other transition metal complexes.

2.4 Experimental

General Considerations

All manipulations were carried out in air. The compounds dimethyl sulfate and

Ag2O were purchased from Aldrich and used without further purification. Caffeine was purchased from Acros and used without further purification. 1H and 13C NMR data were recorded on a Gemini 300 MHz instrument and referenced to residual protons and 13C signals of deuterated solvents. Mass spectrometry data were collected on a Bruker

Daltons (Billerica, MA) Esquire-LC mass spectrometer equipped with ESI and VG

Autospec Tandem Mass Spectrometer equipped with FAB. Elemental analyses were performed by University of Illinois Micro Analysis Laboratory. Crystal structure analyses were done by Jered C. Garrison and Matthew Panzner.

31 Technical Details of the X-ray Structure Determinations

Crystal of 1b, 2b and 2d were coated in paraffin oil, mounted on a kryo loop and placed on a goniometer under a stream of nitrogen. X-ray data sets were collected on a

Bruker Apex CCD diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo KĮ radiation (Ȝ =

0.71073 Å). Unit cell determination was achieved by using reflections from three different orientations. An empirical absorption correction and other corrections were done using multi-scan SADABS. Structure solution, refinement and modeling were accomplished using the Bruker SHELXTL package.108 The structure was obtained by full-matrix least-squares refinement of F2 and the selection of appropriate atoms from the generated difference map.

Synthesis of 1,3,7,9-tetramethylxanthinium methyl sulfate95 (1a)

Caffeine (10.0 g, 51.5 mmol) was dissolved in nitrobenzene (150 mL) at 100oC for 1h. Dimethyl sulfate (10.5 mL) was added to the solution and the mixture was refluxed at 100oC for 24 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, excess diethyl ether was added and the solvent was decanted. The residue was washed with diethyl ether several times and a white solid 1a (2.38 g, 7.43 mmol, 72 %) was obtained.

SYNTHESIS FROM CAFFEINE OF A MIXED N- HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE-

SILVER ACETATE COMPLEX ACTIVE AGAINST RESISTANT RESPIRATORY

PATHOGENS

3.1 Introduction

Silver has been used in a variety of ways to control infections since ancient times.37 Low concentrations of silver ions kill or suppress the activity of a wide range of bacteria and fungi. This activity underlies the efficacy of silver containing products used in the treatment of burns and wounds.109 The therapeutic use of silver is well known in the form of inorganic salts and complexes, such as silver nitrate and silver sulfadiazaine and in combination with proteins.110 Elemental silver has also been used in the form of foils and nanocrystalline particles which can be found in recently developed silver-coated dressings.110,111

Silver itself has low toxicity and medically has only one rare cosmetic side effect.112,59 The toxicity of silver compounds can often be linked to the carrier molecules underscoring the importance of coordination of silver to other nontoxic molecules for the safe use as antimicrobials. Biologically relevant molecules known to have minimal in vivo toxicity, such as xanthine derivatives, may be excellent candidates for this purpose.

37 We are interested in the synthesis of silver xanthine complexes that have the potential to be used as a new class of antibiotics, particularly for the treatment of lung infections seen in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. CF is a life threatening genetic disorder which results from mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene and affects approximately 60,000 people world wide. Chronic pulmonary infections with

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Burkholderia cepacia complex

(Bcc) organisms cause most of the morbidity and mortality in patients with CF.91

Xanthines have been used medicinally as diuretics, central nervous system stimulants and inhibitors of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase resulting in airway smooth muscle relaxation.113 Caffeine is a xanthine derivative that is readily available and has low toxicity, and thus, is a good candidate for a carrier molecule for the delivery of silver cations to the lungs.

In the previous chapter, the synthesis of methylated caffeine with various counter ions, and the formation of its biscarbene silver complexes by in situ deprotonation with silver oxide was reported.31 The use of silver oxide to deprotonate imidazolium salts is one of the most common procedures used for the synthesis of NHC silver complexes.26

We have also shown the effective antimicrobial properties of NHC silver complexes obtained by this method.75,77 Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of the methylated caffeine 1 and silver complexes 3 and 4 derived from 1 and the antimicrobial properties of 1 and 4 (Figure 3.1).

3.2 Results and Discussion

Methylated caffeine, 1,3,7,9-tetramethylxanthinium iodide, 1, was synthesized by refluxing caffeine with an excess of methyl iodide in DMF using a modified literature procedure (Scheme 3.1).98 Compound 1 is a water-soluble solid and stable in air up to its melting point. In the 1H NMR spectrum, the imidazolium proton appears at 9.30 ppm, which is consistent with the general C-H acidic proton shift of imidazolium salts (d = 8-

10 ppm).11,12 The imidazolium carbon appears at 139.6 ppm as the most notable feature in the 13C NMR spectrum.

Scheme 3.1 Synthesis of 1

Compound 1 was combined with an excess of silver oxide in methanol. In the 1H

NMR spectrum of the product, the lack of the resonance of the imidazolium proton and the downfield shifted methyl protons were observed as indications for the formation of an

NHC silver complex. However, the carbene carbon resonance, which is one of the most notable features for the formation of an NHC silver complex in the 13C NMR, was not observed. This can be attributed to the dynamic behavior of the complex in solution as well as the poor relaxation of the quaternary carbene carbon.18,23 There are several NHC silver complexes which exhibit this behavior that have been reported in the literature.13

ESI- MS data showed the bis(NHC) silver molecular cation at mass 523.1 and its related fragments in the positive mode but the iodide was not observed in the negative mode.

The single crystals grown from a concentrated methanol solution of this complex showed the formation of methyl carbonate anion, 3. This can be explained by the reaction of in air with the methoxide created in the silver oxide methanol mixture

(Scheme 3.2). There are several literature examples that show bases promote the reaction of primary with carbon dioxide to give organic carbonates in high yields.114

Scheme 3.2 Formation of 3 and 4

When 3 was dissolved in ethanol, methanol or water and ethyl acetate, and the solvent mixture slowly allowed to evaporate, complex 4 was formed. This complex attracted our attention for several reasons. Complex 4 is composed of biologically relevant ligands and is water soluble. These properties make 4 a viable candidate for use as an internal antimicrobial. Furthermore, 4 is a relatively small molecule and may be

41 able to diffuse into the bacteria trapping thick mucus layer in the lungs of CF patients better than conventional larger antibiotics.115 For these reasons we explored the direct

synthesis of 4. In situ deprotonation of 1 with silver acetate24 in 1:2 ratio in methanol gave complex 4 (Scheme 3.3). The disappearance of the resonance for the imidazolium proton of 1 and the appearance of the resonance for the carbene carbon atom at 186.2 ppm together with carbonyl and methyl carbons of the acetate group at 176.2 ppm and

23.1 ppm, respectively showed the formation of the expected NHC silver acetate complex. Complex 4 has good stability in water. A water solution of 4 kept in the dark was observed to form silver(0) particles within 10 days.

Scheme 3.3 The direct synthesis of 4

Single crystal X-ray diffraction data was collected for 1, 3 and 4. Single crystals of 1 were obtained by slow evaporation of a concentrated acetonitrile solution (Figure

3.2). Crystals of 3 suitable for single crystal x-ray diffraction studies were grown from a concentrated sample in methanol (Figure 3.3). The asymmetric unit contains the biscarbene methylated caffeine silver complex, a methyl carbonate anion and three solvent methanol molecules. The cation of complex 3 is planar with an average

42 silver carbene bond distance of 2.094(4)Å. The carbene-Ag-carbene bond angle is

170.83(15)° which deviates significantly from the linear geometry expected for the complex.

43 Colorless crystals of 4 were obtained from a concentrated sample in a water/ethyl acetate mixture (Figure 3.4). The asymmetric unit of this molecule contains the complex together with two molecules of water. The geometry around the silver atom deviates significantly from linearity with a C1-Ag1-O3 bond angle of 168.19(9)o. The Ag-carbene bond length, 2.067(3) Å in 4 is shorter than those in complex 3 (Table 3.1).

44 The in vitro antimicrobial activity of methylated caffeine and its silver complex was evaluated against bacterial and fungal strains. The test organisms included

Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as representative gram-negative bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus as a gram-positive bacterium. Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Saccharomycetes cerevisiae were used as the representative fungi. Methylated caffeine 1 itself had a bacteriostatic effect on the chosen bacteria with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 100 mg/mL for S. aureus and 50 mg/mL for both E. coli and P. aeruginosa by the broth macrodilution method. The fungistatic MIC values for 1 were found to be 150 mg/mL for C. albicans and S. cerevisiae, and 75 mg/mL for A. niger.

Several N,N’-disubstituted imidazolium salts, referred to as quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), have already been shown to have antimicrobial properties.116 The silver complex 4 was found to be a very effective antimicrobial agent when tested on fungi. Against A. niger and S. cerevisiae, 4 was found to be effective with a fungicidal

MIC values of 13 mg/mL and 4 mg/mL. It shows a fungistatic effect on C. albicans with a MIC value of 4 mg/mL. Caffeine is a base analogue that is known to induce mutations in both fungi and bacteria by directly binding to DNA and through inhibition of normal cycle-cycle checkpoint functions through incompletely understood mechanisms. 117

The antimicrobial activity of the silver complex, 4, was evaluated against a variety of test organisms including a panel of highly resistant opportunistic pathogens recovered, primarily, from the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF).

These studies were done by Lisa A. Hogue, Rebekah J. Mallett, Christine E. Hovis,

Marvin Coughenour and Carolyn L. Cannon in Washington University School of

45 Medicine. The following three paragraphs, tables and figures were provided by Carolyn

L. Cannon.

Using National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) broth microdilution methods, the MIC of complex 4 was found to range from 1 to 10 mg/mL for all bacterial strains tested (Table 3.2). As positive and negative controls, the MIC for complex 4 against E. coli J53 strains with and without the silver resistant plasmid pMG101 were tested. This plasmid contains open reading frames for silP, silA, silB, silC, silR, silS and silE silver resistance genes originally cloned from a silver nitrate resistant burn ward Salmonella isolate.48,70 The MIC for J53 lacking the plasmid was less than 1 mg/mL, whereas the MIC of 4 for J53 containing pMG101 was greater or equal to

5 mg/mL demonstrating again, that the antimicrobial activity of complex 4 is primarily due to the silver moiety.

Dr. Simon Silver, Chicago, IL. 47 The activity of complex 4 against the panel of respiratory pathogens tested in

Table 3.2 varied with the growth media of the bacteria (Figure 3.5). The mean MIC of complex 4 for this group of pathogens grown in Mueller-Hinton (M-H) was 3.1 ± 0.4 mg/mL (SEM), whereas the mean MIC for the same bacteria grown in Luria broth (LB) was 5.0 ± 0.5 mg/mL (SEM). This difference in MIC was not due to differences in the growth rate of the tested bacteria in the two different enriched media (data not shown).

Rather, the differences may be due to differences in the free Ag+ concentration in each of the media. Both M-H and LB are high ionic strength enriched media with reported conductivities of 102 and 112, respectively.118 The antimicrobial activity of the

aminoglycoside antibiotics is known to be exquisitely sensitive to the nature of the media

used to determine the MIC 119,120 with high ionic strength media acting to antagonize

aminoglycoside activity. Although not documented, one hypothesis used to explain the

observed differences in MICs in different media may be due to differences in the activity

of efflux pumps that extrude the aminoglycosides.118 Unidentified Ag+ efflux pumps in these respiratory pathogens may exhibit different activity in M-H versus LB. If such pumps exist, they may underlie the unstable silver sulfadiazine resistance seen in reported resistant burn ward P. aeruginosa isolates.121,67 Analogous P-type ATPase pumps have recently been identified that allow adaptation to stress by P. aeruginosa.122

Alternatively, the differences in MIC may be due to differences in either stability of the complex 4 molecule in each environment causing different rates of Ag+ release, or differences in complexation of Ag+ to protein components of the different media.

Whatever the explanation, the observed differences are modest and do not predict large differences in MIC in the in vivo setting.

Data are displayed as mean and SEM (Prism 4, GraphPad).

The mechanism of action of complex 4 is currently unknown, as is the

mechanism of action of silver cations. To begin to understand the mechanism of its

antimicrobial effects, complex 4 was applied to B. dolosa and transmission electron microscopy of the treated bacteria was compared with untreated cells. The complex 4 treated bacteria demonstrated disruption of the bacterial cell morphology characterized by cell “ghosts” devoid of cytoplasm. The “ghost” cell membranes were studded with numerous electron dense clusters likely representing outer membrane deposition of silver salts (Figure 3.6), as has been reported by Sondi and Salopek-Sondi after treatment of E. coli with silver nanoparticles.123 The jagged edges of the cell in the complex 4 treated bacteria may indicate breakdown of the structural integrity of the cell membrane or may simply be an artifact of the sectioning for TEM. Even if partially an artifact, none of the untreated cells exhibited this morphology implicating an effect of the complex 4 treatment.

Preliminary in vitro toxicity studies were performed on primary cultures of murine tracheal epithelial cells (MTECs) in order to test the potential transcriptional effects of the Ag+ component of complex 4 as a nebulized antimicrobial as compared to those of the carrier compound 1. These studies were done and the following paragraph and figure was provided by Seth D. Crosby, Washington University, School Medicine.

In the first experiment, MTEC cultures were incubated for 24 hours with either 1 or 10 mg/mL complex 4, or 10 mg/mL compound 1 dissolved in media. The MTEC cells were lysed, RNA isolated, labeled (Genisphere A350) and samples to be compared were co-hybridized to microarray slides containing probes which represented the entire mouse transcriptome to allow for transcriptional profiling. The pairs of samples applied to the arrays were 1 mg/mL complex 4 co-hybridized with 10 mg/ml compound 1 and 10 mg/mL complex 4 co-hybridized with 10 mg/mL compound 1 with technical replicate per sample pair after dye swapping. Of the few genes that demonstrated >2-fold expression

50 difference (Figure 3.7A) 5 genes and 22 genes out of a possible 25K were significantly

(p<0.05) disregulated within the first and second pairs of samples, respectively. There was no overlap between these two sets of genes (Figure 3.6B). We performed a second experiment to produce a biological replicate and to look for effects at higher concentrations of complex 4. MTECs were incubated with either 10 mg/mL complex 4

again, 100 mg/mL complex 4 or 10 mg/mL compound 1, lysed, RNA isolated and labeled with a more sensitive dendrimer system (Genisphere A900) before co-hybridization to the spotted arrays. The 10 mg/mL complex 4 co-hybridized with 10 mg/ml compound 1

pair exhibited only 12 genes with expression changes greater than 2 fold. None of these

12 genes corresponded to any of the 22 genes that were seen in the first experiment with

the same concentration pair of 1 and 4 (Figure 3.7B). The 100 mg/mL complex 4 co-

hybridized with 10 mg/mL compound 1 pair resulted in 2-fold expression changes in 81

genes. One gene, Trim30 (Genbank NM_009099), was down regulated in this latter

pairing (fold change 0.39), as well as in the first experiment 10 mg/mL complex 4 versus

10 mg/mL compound 1 pair (fold change 0.49). However, this same gene was noted to be

down regulated in a 10 mg/mL methylated caffine compound 1 versus media alone pair

(fold change 0.397) and thus, is most likely due to an effect of the parent compound on

respiratory epithelial cells rather than an effect of silver cations. Thus, silver treatment of

MTECs caused no significant consistent transcriptional change at any concentration

tested. Nor were there any dose responsive genes among the small, likely insignificant,

number that did appear to be >2-fold altered.

51 Figure 3.7 Transcriptional profiling of murine tracheal epithelial cells (METCs) treated with complex 4 shows no significant gene expression changes. Murine tracheal epithelial cells (MTECs) isolated from C57Bl/6 animals and grown to confluency on Transwells were incubated with the indicated concentration of either the methylated caffeine parent compound 2 or the silver complex 4 for 24 hours. The RNA was harvested, cDNA synthesized and labeled. The labeled cDNA was hybridized to the MEEBO (Mouse Exonic Evidence Based Oligonucleotide) collection of probes124 representing over 25,000 mouse genes printed on glass slides. The slides were scanned and intensity values imported into GeneSpring 7.2 software for analysis. The intensity values correlate with expression levels of individual genes, which are displayed as dots on the log-scale scatter plots (A) that compare the expression level of each gene in the cells treated with either 1 mg/mL or 10 mg/mL complex 4 versus 10 mg/mL compound 2. The 10 mg/mL complex 4 treatment induced statistically significant (p<0.05) change in expression of • 2-fold in only 22 genes. These gene expression changes were not reproduced in a second experiment, which showed changes in only 12 genes, all of which were different from the 22 found in the first experiment (B). Of the genes showing expression changes, most were repressed.

Preliminary toxicity studies on a small number of rats showed that methylated caffeine, 1, administered intravenously, has low toxicity with an LD50 (50 % lethal concentration) of 1068 mg/kg. The kidneys, livers, adrenals and hearts of the

52 experimental rats appeared normal upon autopsy. A study using the silver complex 4 was also performed. Because 4 decomposes in the presence of chloride ions, it was dissolved in water instead of saline. The amount injected was limited due to the solubility of the complex in water, which is 11.6 mg/mL. No adverse effects were noted after the injections.

3.3 Conclusion

We have synthesized a novel mixed N-heterocyclic carbene-acetate complex of silver from caffeine. We determined that both the silver complex and the methylated caffeine parent compound exhibit antimicrobial properties. In addition to its antifungal activity and activity against selected gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, the NHC silver complex derived from methylated caffeine demonstrated antimicrobial activity against numerous resistant respiratory pathogens including members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex. Transcriptional profiling of murine tracheal epithelial cells treated with the silver complex and the methylated caffeine parent compound showed no significant gene expression changes. Preliminary in vivo toxicity studies demonstrated very low toxicity for both the parent methylated caffeine and the silver complex. Given the water solubility of this silver complex and its low toxicity, it may prove useful as a nebulized therapy in patients colonized with these resistant organisms. We are currently exploring the synthesis of other silver xanthine complexes having different groups on the imidazole ring to enable higher water solubility.

Technical Details of the X-ray Structure Determinations

Crystals of 1, 3 and 4 were coated in paraffin oil, mounted on a kryo loop and

placed on a goniometer under a stream of nitrogen. X-ray data sets were collected on a

Bruker Apex CCD diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo KĮ radiation (Ȝ =

54 0.71073 Å). Unit cell determination was achieved by using reflections from three different orientations. An empirical absorption correction and other corrections were done using multi-scan SADABS. Structure solution, refinement and modeling were accomplished using the Bruker SHELXTL package.108 The structure was obtained by full-matrix least-squares refinement of F2 and the selection of appropriate atoms from the generated difference map.

In vitro antimicrobial activity

The MIC was determined by both the broth macro- and micro-dilution methods.

For the macro-dilution MIC testing of fungi, 5 mL of sterilized LB broth was inoculated

57 with stationary phase fungi and grown for 72 hours at room temperature without shaking.

Serial dilutions of freshly prepared 1 or 4 in culture tubes were inoculated with a constant

volume of the cultures of fungi and incubated for 72 hours at room temperature. The

MIC was determined by visual inspection of the tubes for growth.

The micro-broth dilution MIC determination was performed using a standard

NCCLS protocol.125,76 Bacteria are streaked from glycerol-frozen stocks onto blood agar plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. Cells from the fresh plates are suspended in either Luria broth or the NCCLS standard Mueller-Hinton broth to an OD650 of 0.25 and

8 grown in a shaking incubator until the OD650 is 0.4, which corresponds to ~2 x 10

CFU/mL, confirmed by plating serial dilutions. The bacteria are diluted in broth to a concentration corresponding to 105 CFU in 100 mL, which is added to triplicate well of a

96 well plate containing 100 mL of the complex 4 concentration to be tested. The plate is incubated for 18 hours at 37°C and MIC determined as the lowest concentration with clear wells.

Cell culture

We used a modification of the method published by You and colleagues to isolate primary murine airway epithelial cells and establish cultures.126 Briefly, immediately after CO2 euthanasia of the C57Bl/6J mice, tracheae were isolated and collected in Ham’s

F-12 medium with 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin (Ham’s F-12/pen- strep) held at 4°C. Each trachea was stripped of overlying tissue, cut lengthwise and rinsed twice with Ham’s F-12/pen-strep. Tracheae were placed in a clean 15 ml tube, pronase (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Indianapolis, IN) was added (0.15%) to Ham’s

58 F-12/pen-strep and the tracheae were incubated overnight at 4°C. The tube was gently inverted several times to dislodge cells. Fetal calf serum (10%) was added to halt enzymatic digestion prior to more gentle agitation and wash steps to release cells. The cell suspensions pooled from all of the animals were pelleted at ~400 g for 10 min at 4°C, resuspended in Ham’s F-12/pen-strep with 0.5 mg/ml crude pancreatic DNase I (Sigma-

Aldrich) and incubated on ice for 5 minutes followed by centrifugation at ~400 g for 5 min at 4°C. Removed the supernatant and resuspended the cells in 1:1 DMEM:Ham’s

F12 medium (vol:vol) with 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 µg/mL streptomycin, 0.25 µg/mL fungizione, 15 mM HEPES, 4 mM L-glutamine and 3.6 mM NaHCO3 (MTEC Basic

medium) supplemented with 10 µg/mL insulin, 5 µg/mL transferrin, 0.1 µg/ml cholera

toxin, 25 ng/mL epidermal growth factor (Becton-Dickinson, Bedford, MA), 30 µg/mL

bovine pituitary extract and 5% fetal calf serum. The resuspended cells were seeded at

low density on semi-permeable membranes (Transwell) of 6 well plates coated with

collagen. Approximately 4 x 105 cells, recovered from ~2 trachea, were seeded per individual well, which were then placed in a humidified incubator at 37°C in 5% CO2 for

7 days. After the cells established tight junctions and a high trans-membrane resistance

(>1000 mOhms•cm2), media was removed from the upper chamber, along with any non- adherent cells and debris, to create an air-liquid interface (ALI). The medium in the bottom chamber was also removed, and replaced with MTEC Basic medium supplemented with 2% NuSerum(Becton-Dickinson) and 10-8 M retinoic acid. The medium was replaced twice weekly. Primary cultures remained viable for up to 80 days.

Cells became differentiated in this defined media under ALI conditions and developed

59 characteristics of epithelial cells in the airways including a ciliated and non-ciliated population. Multiple layers were present including basal cells.

Transmission electron microscopy

Bacteria to be examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were pelleted, fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate for one hour at 4°C, washed for 20 minutes three times in 0.1 M sodium cacodylate, and then incubated with

1.25% tetroxide in PBS for 90 minutes at 25°C. Samples were further fixed in

4% , thin-sectioned (90 nm) in Polybed 812 (Polysciences, Warrington,

PA), poststained in uranyl acetate and lead citrate, then visualized on a Zeiss

902 microscope (Zeiss, Thornwood, NY) and recorded on electron microscopy film.

Microarray gene expression analysis

The microarrays used were created from the publically available MEEBO (Mouse

Exonic Evidence Based Oligonucleotide) collection of probes representing greater than

25,000 mouse genes124 (Invitrogen) printed out of 3xSSC with 0.75 M betaine buffer onto epoxysilane slides (Corning). Murine tracheal epithelial cells (MTECs) isolated from

C57Bl/6 animals, grown to confluency and allowed to differentiate at an air liquid interface for 21 days were incubated at 37°C with either methylated caffeine, 1 or complex 4 in 1 ml of media applied to the apical surface for 24 hours. The inserts were rinsed with PBS and the total RNA isolated using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). The

RNA was quantified spectrophotometrically and the RNA quality assured through visualization on glyoxyl gels and analysis on an Agilent bioanalyzer 2100. Starting with

2 or 8 µg of total RNA, first strand cDNA was generated by modified oligo(dT)-primed

60 reverse transcription (Superscript II; Invitrogen) utilizing the 3DNA Array 350 kit or the

3DNA Array 900 kit, respectively (Genisphere). The 3DNA dT primers bear a capture sequence on the 5' end. Two hybridizations were carried out in a sequential manner. The primary hybridization was performed by adding cDNA to the microarray which was incubated at 63°C for 16–20 h. A second hybridization was carried out using the fluorescent dendrimers (Genishpere) which contain oligos complementary to the capture sequence in the dT primers. To create technical replicates for each condition, RNAs were divided into two samples. These samples were independently labeled with each dye, either Cy5 or Cy3 to allow for dye-swapping. Thus, two DNA microarrays were scanned for each sample pair tested.

Slides were scanned immediately after hybridization in a PerkinElmer ScanArray

Express HT scanner to detect Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence. Laser power was kept constant for the scans, and photomultiplier tube values were set for optimal intensity with minimal background. The intensity values are imported into GeneSpring 7.2 software (Agilent,

Redwood city, CA) for analysis. Local background intensity was subtracted from individual spot intensities. To account for the dye swap, the “signal” channel and

“control” channel measurements were reversed in those samples so that signal derived from methylated caffeine-treated RNA occupies the control channel and complex 4 treated RNA the signal channel. A Lowess curve was fit to the log-intensity versus log- ratio plot. 20.0% of the data was used to calculate the Lowess fit at each point. This curve was used to adjust the control value for each measurement. If the control channel was lower than 10 RFU then 10 was used instead. The mean signal to Lowess adjusted controlled ratios were calculated. The cross-chip averages were derived from the antilog

61 of the mean of the natural log ratios across the two microarrays. Oligonucleotide elements derived from mouse elements that received a "present" call (intensity > 200RFU or local signal-to-background > 2 in either channel) by the ScanArray software were identified and all others were excluded from the analysis. Data were filtered using a one- sample T-test (p<0.05) and a 2-fold cut-off.

Animal Studies

Male C57/Bl6 mice were housed in the Clinical Sciences Research building animal facility managed by veterinarians associated with Washington University School of Medicine. All procedures involving mice were approved by the Washington University

Animal Studies Committee.

Male Sprague Dawley (Harlan Sprague Dawley, Indianapolis, IN) adult rats (500 g average body weight) were housed in the University of Akron animal facility.

Temperature and humidity were held constant, and a standard light cycle (12 hours light/12 hours dark) was used. Food (Lab diet 5P00, Prolab, PMI nutrition, Intl.,

Bretwood, MO) and water were provided ad libitum. Animals were anesthetized with ether to inject the compound into the tail vein, using a 26 3/8 gauge syringe needle in a volume of 0.3 mL sterile saline. The concentrations of the ligand ranged from 5.3 mg/kg to 1068 mg/kg. At the end dosages of the experiment, animals were terminated, and the liver, lung, kidney, and heart tissues were removed and frozen at -70 °C for 24 hours.

Urine samples were collected using metabolic cages for later examination of the compound distribution.

SYNTHESIS OF N- HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE SILVER ACETATE COMPLEXES

FROM THEOPHYLLINE DERIVATIVES AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY

AGAINST RESISTANT RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS

4.1 Introduction

Theophylline is one of the xanthine derivatives which is similar to caffeine in

terms of both structure and pharmacological effects. It is the main xanthine used

clinically for chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive

pulmonary disease (COPD).127 It is known to have a bronchodilating and a mild anti- inflammatory effect and believed to nonselectively inhibit the activity of the enzymes called phosphodiesterases (PDE) which results in airway smooth muscle relaxation. 128,129

Several derivatives of theophylline such as ethylenediamine salt called aminophylline and

N-7 substituted derivatives have been also explored to increase the water solubility and

lessen the side effects associated with the narrow therapeutic window of theophylline.130

For example, 7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)theophylline, also known as dyphylline is less toxic than theophylline and used in the management of bronchial asthma.130b, 4d, 131

63 The promising activity of previously synthesized silver(I) acetate complex of methylated caffeine against resistant respiratory pathogens132 has encouraged us to look

for other methylxanthine derivatives as the potential carbon donor ligands. Among the

N-7 substituted derivatives of theophylline: 2-hydroxyethyl (A), 2,3-dihydroxypropyl

(B), and methyl ester (C) substituted ones would be very good precursors to

synthesize NHC silver(I) acetate complexes having increased water solubility than the

methylated caffeine analogue (Figure 4.1). These derivatives are readily available

compounds. Particularly, A and B have been found to be less toxic than caffeine

130b,131,133 and can potentially be good molecules for carrying the silver cations to the lungs.

64 Formation of several methylated imidazolium cations from N-7 substituted theophyllines134 including C and from protonated theophylline with metallic

2- 2- 135 counteranions such as PtCl4 , PdBr4 have been reported. There are numerous reports which show the coordination of theophylline to silver(I) and other metal centers via N-

7136 with a few examples of coordination via N-9.137 A Ru(II)-NHC complex from protonated theophylline has also been reported.138 Ni(II), Co(II) and Pd(II) complexes of the acid form of C (theophylline-7-acetic acid) have been synthesized.139 In this chapter, we report the synthesis and characterization of the NHC silver(I) acetate complexes 2a,

2b and 2c from methylated A, B and C (1a, 1b and 1c) (Figure 4.2) and their antimicrobial activity against resistant respiratory pathogens.

65 4.2 Results and Discussion

A and B were reacted with methyl iodide in a molar ratio of 1: ~7 in DMF under reflux conditions (Scheme 4.1). The resulting imidazolium salts, 1a and 1b, are water- soluble and air-stable solids. Formation of 2a and 2b were first confirmed by 1H NMR spectra of the salts. The imidazolium protons appeared at 9.34 and 9.32 ppm, respectively. In the 13C NMR, the imidazolium carbon atoms resonated at 139.4 and

139.5 ppm. These values are very close to the resonance of the imidazolium carbons of the methylated caffine.132,31

Scheme 4.1 Synthesis of 1a, 1b and 1c

66 C was synthesized through the acid catalyzed esterification of theophylline-7- acetic acid with methanol (Scheme 4.1).140 Methylation of C was tried with methyl iodide. However, even a reaction in a pressurized vessel for days gave only trace amount of the expected product. This can be explained by the decreased nucleophilicity of N-9 due to the presence of electron withdrawing ester group on the N-7. Therefore a stronger methylating agent, dimethyl sulfate, was used. Formation of several methylated imidazolium cations from -CH2CN, -CH2COC6H6, -CH2COC6H2Br4 substituted theophylline including C using methyl tosylate was also reported by Hori and coworkers.134 Methylation of C with dimethyl sulfate yielded a waxy solid which was became a white, water insoluble powder upon the addition of sodium tetraphenylborate to the water solution of the material (Scheme 4.1). The presence of the resonance at 9.31 ppm for the imidazolium proton and three resonances between ~7.20-6.75 ppm for the aromatic in the 1HNMR spectrum were the most notable features indicating the formation of 1c. The imidazolium carbon appeared at 140.2 ppm in the 13C NMR spectrum.

Single crystals of 1a and 1b were obtained by slow evaporation of a concentrated methanol solution. The asymmetric units of 1a and 1b contain one methylated cation of each tehophylline derivatives and one iodide anion, respectively (Figure 4.3 and 4.4).

The colorless crystals of 1c were obtained from a concentrated sample in an acetonitrile/ water mixture (Figure 4.5). The asymmetric unit contains the methylated cation, tetraphenyl borate anion and one molecule of water. The selected N-C bond lengths and angles of 1a, 1b and 1c are similar.

Scheme 4.2 Synthesis of 2a, 2b and 2c

Silver(I) complexes, 2a and 2b, were synthesized through the deprotonation of 1a and 1b by silver(I) acetate in methanol in a molar ratio of 1:2 and 1.2:2, respectively

69 (Scheme 4.2). Similarly. the water insoluble imidazolium salt 1c was reacted with silver(I) acetate in acetonitrile in 1:2 ratio forming the complex 2c (Scheme 4.2). Loss of the imidazolium protons in the 1H NMR spectra and down field shifts of the imidazolium carbons to the carbene carbons at 187.3, 187.4 and 187.4 ppm in the 13C NMR spectra of

2a, 2b and 2c confirmed the formation of the expected silver(I) complexes. No 13C-107Ag and 13C-109Ag couplings were observed in the 13C NMR spectra of the three complexes.

Unlike the previously reported methylated caffeine silver(I) complexes which are already biscarbenes in the solid state31 and readily showed the same structure in the ESI-MS, complexes 2a, 2b and 2c were observed to rearrange in the gas phase and were detected as [NHC-Ag-NHC]+ by ESI- MS. This behavior was reported for many other silver(I)

NHC complexes of various motifs in the solid state.27,75,141 All three complexes are light stable solids with increased water solubility compared with the methylated caffeine analogue (11.6 mg/mL). Complexes 2a, 2b and 2c have the water solubility of 75.5 mg/mL, 82 mg/mL and 93 mg/mL, respectively. Based on the 1H NMR and 13C NMR studies, 2a and 2b were observed to decompose slowly in water in about same period of time (36 days, 39 days) on standing in the dark. The main decomposition product(s) could not be characterized but a small amount of imidazolium cations were able to be detected in 1H NMR spectra and the formation of the silver mirror was observed on surface of NMR tubes. Complex 2c was observed to decompose in 10 days on standing in the dark. Based on the 13C NMR and ESI-MS (sample let to decompose over 15 days and sodium chloride was added to precipitate Ag+), 2c was believed to decompose back to imidazolium cation.

70 Complexes 2a, 2b and 2c were characterized crystallographically. Single crystals of 2a were obtained by recrystalization in ethanol (Figure 4.6). The asymmetric unit contains two molecules of 2a with a weak Ag(I)….Ag(I) interaction of 3.3770(6) Å and one molecule of ethanol. Ag(I)- Ccarbene distances were found to be 2.061(3) Å and

2.060(3) Å, respectively. The geometry around the silver atom deviates significantly

o o from linearity with the Ccarbene-Ag- Oacetate angles of 164.65(11) and 163.85(11) . Single crystals of 2b and 2c were grown by slow evaporation of the solvents from the concentrated methanol and acetonitrile solutions, respectively (Figure 4.7 and 4.8).

Asymmetric units of 2b and 2c is composed of only one molecule of the respective silver(I) complexes. Ag(I)- Ccarbene bond lengths of 2.096(3) Å and 2.065(3) Å were observed for 2b and 2c, respectively (Table 4.1).

The in vitro antimicrobial activities of the silver complexes, 2a, 2b and 2c were evaluated against a variety of test organisms and a panel of highly resistant opportunistic pathogens recovered, primarily, from the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis

(CF) including members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). These studies were done by Lisa A. Hogue, Rebekah J. Mallett, Christine E. Hovis, Marvin Coughenour and

4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. All three complexes were found to show better antimicrobial activity than the methylated caffine silver(I) acetate complex. Using standard NCCLS broth microdilution methods, the MIC was found to range from 1 to 6 mg/mL for 2a, 1 to 8 mg/mL for 2b and 2c for the bacterial strains tested (Table 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4).

76 Preliminary toxicity studies of 1a on a small number of rats showed that 1a, administered intravenously, has an approximate lethal dose (ALD) of 2100 mg/kg. The kidneys, livers, adrenals and hearts of the experimental rats appeared normal upon autopsy. ALD of 1b administered intraperitioneally was estimated to be 2250 mg/kg. The kidneys, livers, hearts and spleens appeared normal but the lungs were observed to be hemorrhagic upon autopsy. This could be because of a shock which causes a leakage in the capillaries of the lungs due to the high amount of 1b injected.

4.3 Conclusions

Three new NHC precursors from N-7 substituted theophyllines and their silver(I) acetate complexes were synthesized and showed better antimicrobial activity than the methylated caffeine analogue against highly resistant respiratory pathogens including members of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc). The presence of hydroxyl and ester groups on the imidazole moiety of the theophylline greatly enhanced the water solubility. Preliminary in vivo toxicity studies on the methylated ligands 1a and 1b showed that they are slightly less toxic than the methylated caffeine. In vivo toxicities of the silver complexes 2a, 2b and 2c have not been determined yet. Transcriptional and in vitro toxicity studies on murine tracheal epithelial cells are underway. Complex 2a, 2b and 2c may be potential candidates to be used as a nebulized therapy in CF patients colonized with resistant respiratory organisms.

77 4.4 Experimental

General Considerations

All manipulations were carried out in air. All compounds and solvents were used as received. 7-(2-hydroxyethy)theophylline and dimethyl sulfate were purchased form

Aldrich. 7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)theophylline, silver acetate and methyl iodide were purchased from Acros. Theophylline-7-acetic acid was purchased from Alfa Aesar. 1H

and 13C NMR data were recorded on a Gemini 300MHz instrument and were referenced

to residual protons and 13C signals of deuterated solvents. 109Ag NMR data was recorded on Unity Inova 750 MHz instrument and AgNO3 in d6- DMSO was used as an external

reference. Mass spectrometry data were collected on a Bruker Daltons (Billerica, MA)

Esquire-LC mass spectrometer equipped with ESI. Elemental analyses were performed

by University of Illinois Micro Analysis Laboratory. Crystal structure analysis of

compound 1a was done by Doug Medvetz. Antimicrobial studies were performed by

Lisa A. Hogue, Rebekah J. Mallett, Christine E. Hovis, Marvin Coughenour and Carolyn

L. Cannon, Division of Allergy and Pulmonary Medicine, Department of Pediatrics,

Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis. ALD studies were done by

Khadijah Hindi in the biology department, The University of Akron.

Technical Details of the X-ray Structure Determinations

Crystals of 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, and 2c were coated in paraffin oil, mounted on a

kryo loop and placed on a goniometer under a stream of nitrogen. X-ray crystallographic

data sets were collected on a Bruker Apex CCD diffractometer with graphite-

monochromated Mo KĮ radiation (Ȝ = 0.71073 Å). Unit cell determination was achieved

78 by using reflections from three different orientations. An empirical absorption correction and other corrections were done using multi-scan SADABS. Structure solution, refinement and modeling were accomplished using the Bruker SHELXTL package.108

The structure was obtained by full-matrix least-squares refinement of F2 and the selection of appropriate atoms from the generated difference map.

In vitro antimicrobial activity

The micro-broth dilution MIC determination was performed using a standard

NCCLS protocol.76,125 Bacteria are streaked from glycerol-frozen stocks onto blood agar plates and incubated overnight at 37°C. Cells from the fresh plates are suspended in either Luria broth or the NCCLS standard Mueller-Hinton broth to an OD650 of 0.25 and

85 8 grown in a shaking incubator until the OD650 is 0.4, which corresponds to ~2 x 10

CFU/mL, confirmed by plating serial dilutions. The bacteria are diluted in broth to a concentration corresponding to 105 CFU in 100 mL, which is added to triplicate well of a

96 well plate containing 100 mL of the complexes 2a, 2b and 2c concentration to be tested. The plate is incubated for 18 hours at 37°C and MIC determined as the lowest concentration with clear wells.

Bretwood, MO) and water were provided ad libitim. Animals were anesthetized with ether to inject the compound 1a into the tail vein, using a 26 3/8 gauge syringe needle in a volume of 0.3 mL sterile saline. The concentrations of the ligand ranged from 1000 mg/kg to 2200 mg/kg. Compound 1b injected intraperitioneally using a 26 3/8 gauge syringe needle in a volume of 1 mL sterile saline. The concentrations of the ligand depending on the weight of the individual rat ranged from 2000 mg/kg to 2500 mg/kg.

At the end dosages of the experiment, animals were terminated, and the liver, lung, kidney, and heart tissues were removed and frozen at -70 °C for 24 hours. Urine samples were collected using metabolic cages for later examination of the compound distribution.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF N-HETEROCYCLIC CARBENE

RHODIUM(I), PLATINUM(II) AND PALLADIUM(II) COMPLEXES FROM

CAFFEINE

5.1 Introduction

The dynamic behavior characterized by the lack of C-107Ag and C-109Ag couplings in the 13CNMR of silver(I) NHC complexes of methylated caffeine makes them valuable candidates to be used as carbene transfer reagents. Carbene transfer from silver(I) NHC complexes to other transition metals provides mild reaction conditions without the use of a base and have become very popular142,29 after the synthesis of palladium(II) and gold(I) NHC complexes by Lin and coworkers.26

There are a relatively small number of NHC transition metal complexes of caffeine. Ru(II), Ru(III) and Os(III) complexes of protonated caffeine and a bis(NHC)

Hg(II) complex of methylated caffeine were the only NHC metal complexes known until

2004.143,144,145,146 After the synthesis of the first Rh(I) NHC complex of methylated caffeine31 by our group, other Rh(I) complexes containing two and four methylated caffeine units and Ir(I), Pd(II) complexes were reported.99,147,148

There have been several reports of the synthesis of Pd(II) NHC complexes using

87 palladium(II) acetate .149,150,151,152 However, Pt(II) NHC complexes are not attainable by this method. Recently, the use of platinum(II) halides in the presence of sodium acetate152,153 and the use of platinum(II) acetylacetonate154 as a commercially available basic metal precursor have made Pt(II) NHC complexes readily available. In this chapter, we report the synthesis of the first Rh(I), Pt(II) mono(NHC) complexes, 1 and 2, and

bis(NHC) Pd(II), 3, complex from methylated caffeine (Figure 5.1).

5.2 Results and Discussion

The bis(NHC)AgPF6, B, complex was synthesized from methylated caffeine

hexafluorophosphate, A, and silver(I) oxide as described in chapter II. This complex is a

88 light stable solid and only soluble in DMSO. The lack of C-107Ag and C-109Ag couplings in the 13CNMR spectrum suggests fluxional behavior in solution. The reaction of

o equimolar amounts of complex B and [Rh(COD)Cl]2 in wet DMSO at 60 C to give the corresponding Rh(I) complex, 1, shows the ability of B to serve as a carbene transfer reagent (Scheme 5.1). Complex 1 is stable in air up to its melting point and is soluble in acetone and DMSO. It was observed to be stable in wet DMSO in light for months. In

13 1 the C NMR spectrum, the carbene carbon appears as a doublet at 188.46 ppm ( JC-Rh=

43.8 Hz) (Figure 5.2) . The chemical shift of the carbene carbon and coupling constant are similar to those previously reported for other NHC rhodium complexes.155,156,157

1 in the presence of PtCl2 produced complex 2 (Scheme 5.2). H NMR spectrum of 2 in d6-

DMSO revealed that the characteristic signal for the acidic proton in the imidazolium salt at 9.25 ppm for A disappeared. Furthermore the 13C NMR spectrum showed a significant shift for the carbonium atom at the carbenic carbon at 175.4 ppm. The chemical shift of the carbene carbon is comparable to those previously reported for other mono NHC platinum complexes.158 No 195Pt-13C coupling was distinguishable in the 13C NMR.

Scheme 5.2 Synthesis of 2

Crystals of 1 suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were grown from a concentrated solution of acetone and cyclohexane (Figure 5.3). The following explanation for the crystal structure of 1 was written by Matthew Panzner. The asymmetric unit contains two Rh(I) NHC complexes in different conformations and two hexafluorophospahte anions. Each Rh(I) center is bound to a methylated caffeine,

DMSO and cyclooctadiene in a square planar fashion. The two Rh(I) NHC bonds are

2.034(3) Å and 2.035(3) Å, respectively, and are comparable with those found in other

NHC Rh complexes. 147,159,160 The bond angles about the Rh centers deviate slightly from

90o ranging from 86.1-93.0° with an average of 90.1°(Figure 5.3). The greatest deviation is associated with the COD-Rh-COD bond angle most likely due to the bidentate nature of the COD. Deviations for other substituents are likely a result of the space created by the acute angle of the COD-Rh-COD bond angle.

Selected bond lengths (Å) and bond angles (°): Rh1-C1 = 2.034(3), Rh1-S1 = 2.2742(9), N1-C1 = 1.383(4), N2-C1 = 1.335(4), C1-Rh1-S1 = 91.75(9), C1- Rh1-C10 = 90.00(13), C1-Rh1-C11 = 91.96(13), S1-Rh1-C15 = 93.52, S1-Rh1-C14 = 88.43(10).

Complex 2 is soluble in polar solvents such as acetonitrile, acetone and DMSO.

Colorless crystals of 2 were grown from a concentrated sample in an acetonitrile/ ethanol

mixture (Figure 5.4). 2 is a neutral complex with two coordinating chlorides balancing

the charge of the metal. The platinum(II) center is bound in a square planar fashion to

methylated caffeine, two chlorides in cis configuration and one DMSO molecule. Pt-

152,153,161 Ccarbene bond length is 1.922(8) Å and comparable with other Pt NHC complexes.

The platinum chloride distance trans to NHC, Pt-Cl(2), is longer than the one trans to

DMSO, Pt-Cl(1), due to the trans influence of NHC ligand by its strong ı donor ability.

The bond angles about Pt center deviate slightly from 90o ranging from 87.4- 91.4°

(Figure 5.4).

Selected bond lengths (Å) and bond angles (°): Pt-C1 = 1.922(8), Pt-Cl(1) = 2.284(2), Pt- Cl(2) = 2.298(2), Pt-S = 2.167(2), N1-C1 = 1.332(7), N1A-C1 = 1.332(7), S-Pt-C1 = 91.4(2), C1-Pt-Cl(1) = 87.4(2), Cl(2)-Pt-Cl(1) = 91.28(8), Cl(2)-Pt-S = 89.97(8).

The reaction of 2:1 molar amounts of iodide salt of the methylated caffeine, C,

and palladium(II) acetate in wet DMSO at 80-90 oC produced complex 3 (Scheme 5.3). 3 is an air stable, yellow powder. It is not soluble in common organic solvents but

93 is soluble in DMF and DMSO. Disappearance of the imidazolium proton in the 1H NMR spectrum and the appearance of the carbene carbon resonance at 174 ppm in 13C NMR were the most notable features indicating the formation of 3 (Figure 5.5). Single crystals of 3 suitable for X-ray studies could not be obtained. However, the resonance of the carbene carbon at 174.0 ppm was an indication for the trans configuration of the NHC ligands around Pd(II) center. In the literature, the chemical shift for the carbene carbon of trans- NHC Pd complexes have been reported to be observed between 175-186 ppm in 13C NMR spectra.162,163 Raman spectrum of complex 3 showed only one Pd-I stretching band at a very low frequency, 139 cm-1 which is characteristic for trans- configuration of the palladium iodide bonds in square planar geometry.164,165,166 ESI-MS analysis showed the molecular cations, [M-I]+, [M-2I]+ ([M-2I] +2 + 1 electron) by m/z peaks at 648.1 and 522.1, respectively.

5.3 Conclusions

We have synthesized three new NHC-late transition metal complexes of methylated caffeine. The formation of an NHC rhodium(I) complex, 1, from previously synthesized bis(NHC) silver(I) complex, B demonstrates the ability of B to serve as a carbene transfer reagent in mild reaction conditions without the use of strong bases.

Similarly, Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes, 2 and 3, are shown to be synthesized from easily available metal precursors in air using a conventional solvent.

95 5.4 Experimental

General Considerations

All manipulations were carried out in air. [Rh(COD)Cl]2 (COD=

cyclooctadiene), PtCl2 and Pd(OAc)2 were purchased from Strem and used without

further purification. Caffeine was purchased from Acros and used without further

purification. 1H and 13C NMR data were recorded on a Gemini 300 MHz instrument and

referenced to residual protons and 13C signals of deuterated solvents. Mass spectrometry

data were collected on a Bruker Daltons (Billerica, MA) Esquire-LC mass spectrometer

equipped with ESI. Raman spectrum in the 10-3500 cm-1 region of the solid material was

measured using a Jobin Yvon T64000 triple-monochromator with the excitation line Ȝ=

647.1 nm of a Krypton-ion Laser in the Department of Polymer Science, The University of Akron. Crystal structure analyses were done by Matthew Panzner and Jered C.

Garrison. Elemental analyses were performed by University of Illinois Micro Analysis

Laboratory.

Technical Details of the X-ray Structure Determinations

Crystal of 1 and 2 were coated in paraffin oil, mounted on a kryo loop and placed on a goniometer under a stream of nitrogen. X-ray data sets were collected on a Bruker

Apex CCD diffractometer with graphite-monochromated Mo KĮ radiation (Ȝ = 0.71073

Å). Unit cell determination was achieved by using reflections from three different orientations. An empirical absorption correction and other corrections were done using multi-scan SADABS. Structure solution, refinement and modeling were accomplished using the Bruker SHELXTL package.108 The structure was obtained by full-matrix least-

96 squares refinement of F2 and the selection of appropriate atoms from the generated

difference map.

99 CHAPTER VI

CONCLUSION

The presence of imidazole moieties in the structures of some biologically relevant molecules, such as xanthines, provides the opportunity for the synthesis of new NHC ligands. Thus far, there are only a handful of examples for the formation of NHC metal complexes from these ligands in the literature. Caffeine and theophylline derivatives are readily available, inexpensive methyl xanthines.

In this study, formation of different imidazolium salts of methylated caffeine with

- - - - CH 3SO 4 , PF6 , I and NO3 were first explored. The relatively easy synthesis of these salts made them very useful NHC precursors. The bis(NHC) silver(I) complexes 2a, 2b

(chapter II) and 3 (chapter III) and a dinuclear silver(I) bis(NHC) complex 2d (chapter II) were synthesized utilizing silver(I) oxide as a metal precursor. Free NHCs are water sensitive however complex 2a was successfully synthesized in water. Therefore, the deprotonation of the imidazolium salt and concerted coordination to the metal center were suggested. Complex 3 was observed to form with a methyl carbonate anion through the silver(I) oxide promoted reaction of methanol and carbon dioxide from air. The Ag-C bond lengths and angles around the Ag centers of 2b and 3 were observed to be comparable. However, complex 2d showed distorted trigonal planar geometry due to the

100 bridging nitrates. Formation of silver(I) NHC complexes with bridging nitrates are known to be rare.18,107

The lack of 107/109Ag-13C couplings in the 13C NMR spectra of these complexes suggested dynamic behavior in solution. Therefore, the carbene moiety in the complex

2b was successfully transferred to rhodium(I) providing an NHC rhodium(I) complex from methylated caffeine. Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes were also synthesized from readily available metal precursors. In the crystal structure of Pt(II) complex, one of the most notable feature was the bond length differences in Pt-Cl bonds. The Pt-Cl bond trans to the methylated caffeine unit was observed to be longer than the one trans to the

coordinated solvent molecule. This could be explained by the stronger ı donor ability of

NHC ligand compared to solvent molecule.

Iodide salts of the methylated caffeine and other theophylline derivatives were

deprotonated with silver(I) acetate to synthesize mixed NHC silver(I) acetate complexes.

The presence of hydroxyl and ester groups on the imidazole moiety of the theophylline

derivatives 2a, 2b and 2c (chapter IV) greatly increased the water solubility compared to methylated caffeine silver(I) acetate complex, 4 (chapter II). These complexes showed fluxional behavior in 13C NMR time scale, and therefore they can be potentially used as carbene transfer reagents.

All of the synthesized NHC acetate complexes of silver from xanthines showed very promising antimicrobial activities against resistant respiratory pathogens including members of the multi drug resistance Burkholderia cepacia complex seen in cystic fibrosis patients. Because these complexes are composed of biologically relevant ligands, their relatively small size, water solubility and stability make them very

101 attractive complexes to be used as a nebulized therapy in the treatment of patients colonized with resistant bacteria and fungi.
