Copper dioxygen (bio)inorganic chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Cu/O2 intermediates in biological, homogeneous, and heterogeneous catalysts exhibit unique spectral features that reflect novel geometric and electronic structures that make significant contributions to reactivity. This review considers how the respective intermediate electronic structures overcome the spin-forbidden nature of O2 binding, activate O2 for electrophilic aromatic attack and H-atom abstraction, catalyze the 4 e- reduction of O2 to H2O, and discusses the role of exchange coupling between Cu ions in determining reactivity.

Copper(I)-Dioxygen Adducts and Copper Enzyme Mechanisms.

Project description:Primary copper(I)-dioxygen (O2) adducts, cupric-superoxide complexes, have been proposed intermediates in copper-containing dioxygen-activating monooxygenase and oxidase enzymes. Here, mechanisms of C-H activation by reactive copper-(di)oxygen intermediates are discussed, with an emphasis on cupric-superoxide species. Over the past 25 years, many synthetically derived cupric-superoxide model complexes have been reported. Due to the thermal instability of these intermediates, early studies focused on increasing their stability and obtaining physical characterization. More recently, in an effort to gain insight into the possible substrate oxidation step in some copper monooxygenases, several cupric-superoxide complexes have been used as surrogates to probe substrate scope and reaction mechanisms. These cupric superoxides are capable of oxidizing substrates containing weak O-H and C-H bonds. Mechanistic studies for some enzymes and model systems have supported an initial hydrogen-atom abstraction via the cupric-superoxide complex as the first step of substrate oxidation.

Reactivity of a stable copper-dioxygen complex.

Project description:We report the isolation of a room temperature stable dipyrromethene Cu(O2) complex featuring a side-on O2 coordination. Reactivity studies highlight the unique ability of the dioxygen adduct for both hydrogen-atom abstraction and acid/base chemistry towards phenols, demonstrating that side-on superoxide species can be reactive entities.

Dioxygen reactivity of new bispidine-copper complexes.

Project description:The reactivity of copper complexes of three different second-generation bispidine-based ligands (bispidine = 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane; mono- and bis-tetradentate; exclusively tertiary amine donors) with dioxygen [(reversible) binding of dioxygen by copper(I)] is reported. The UV-vis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance, and vibrational spectra (resonance Raman) of the dioxygen adducts indicate that, depending on the ligand and reaction conditions, several different species (mono- and dinuclear, superoxo, peroxo, and hydroperoxo), partially in equilibrium with each other, are formed. Minor changes in the ligand structure and/or experimental conditions (solvent, temperature, relative concentrations) allow switching between the different forms. With one of the ligands, an end-on peroxodicopper(II) complex and a mononuclear hydroperoxocopper(II) complex could be characterized. With another ligand, reversible dioxygen binding was observed, leading to a metastable superoxocopper(II) complex. The amount of dioxygen involved in the reversible binding to Cu(I) was determined quantitatively. The mechanism of dioxygen binding as well as the preference of each of the three ligands for a particular dioxygen adduct is discussed on the basis of a computational (density functional theory) analysis.

Bio-inspired liposomal thrombomodulin conjugate through bio-orthogonal chemistry.

Project description:We report the synthesis of bioinspired liposomal thrombomodulin (TM) conjugates by chemoselective and site-specific liposomal conjugation of recombinant TM at C-terminus. TM is an endothelial cell membrane protein that acts as a major cofactor in the protein C anticoagulant pathway. To closely mimic membrane protein structural features of TM, we proposed membrane-mimetic re-expression of recombinant TM onto liposome. A recombinant TM containing the EGF-like 456 domains and an azidohomoalanine at C-terminus was expressed in E. coli. Conjugation of the recombinant TM onto liposome via Staudinger ligation and copper-free click chemistry were investigated as an optimal platform for exploring membrane protein TM's activity, respectively. The bioinspired liposomal TM conjugates were confirmed with Western blotting and protein C activation activity. The recombinant TM-liposome conjugates showed a 2-fold higher k(cat)/K(m) value for protein C activation than that of the recombinant TM alone, which indicated that the lipid membrane has a beneficiary effect on the recombinant TM's activity. The reported liposomal protein conjugate approach provides a rational design strategy for both studying membrane protein TM's functions and generating a membrane protein TM-based anticoagulant agent.

Evidence for copper-dioxygen reactivity during alpha-synuclein fibril formation.

Project description:Alpha-synuclein (alpha-syn), a presynaptic protein implicated in Parkinson's disease, binds copper(II) ion (1:1) with submicromolar affinity in vitro. Insights on the molecular details of soluble- and fibrillar-Cu-alpha-syn are gained through X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Our results indicate that the copper coordination environment (3-to-4 N/O ligands, average Cu-ligand distance approximately 1.96 A) exhibits little structural rearrangement upon amyloid formation in spite of the overall polypeptide conformational change from disordered-to-beta-sheet. Interestingly, we find that some population of Cu(II)-alpha-syn reduces to Cu(I)-alpha-syn in the absence of O(2). This autoreduction event appears diminished in the presence of O(2) suggestive of preceding Cu(I)/O(2) chemistry. Evidence for generation of reactive oxygen species is obtained by the observation of new emission features attributed to dityrosine cross-links in fibrillar samples.

Reversible Scavenging of Dioxygen from Air by a Copper Complex.

Project description:We report that exposing the dipyrrin complex (EMindL)Cu(N2) to air affords rapid, quantitative uptake of O2 in either solution or the solid-state to yield (EMindL)Cu(O2). The air and thermal stability of (EMindL)Cu(O2) is unparalleled in molecular copper-dioxygen coordination chemistry, attributable to the ligand flanking groups which preclude the [Cu(O2)]1+ core from degradation. Despite the apparent stability of (EMindL)Cu(O2), dioxygen binding is reversible over multiple cycles with competitive solvent exchange, thermal cycling, and redox manipulations. Additionally, rapid, catalytic oxidation of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine to azoarene with the generation of hydrogen peroxide is observed, through the intermittency of an observable (EMindL)Cu(H2O2) adduct. The design principles gleaned from this study can provide insight for the formation of new materials capable of reversible scavenging of O2 from air under ambient conditions with low-coordinate CuI sorbents.

Stepwise protonation and electron-transfer reduction of a primary copper-dioxygen adduct.

Project description:The protonation–reduction of a dioxygen adduct with [LCu(I)][B(C6F5)4], cupric superoxo complex [LCu(II)(O2(•–))]+ (1) (L = TMG3tren (1,1,1-tris[2-[N(2)-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidino)]ethyl]amine)) has been investigated. Trifluoroacetic acid (HOAcF) reversibly associates with the superoxo ligand in ([LCu(II)(O2(•–))]+) in a 1:1 adduct [LCu(II)(O2(•–))(HOAcF)](+) (2), as characterized by UV–visible, resonance Raman (rR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray absorption (XAS) spectroscopies, along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Chemical studies reveal that for the binding of HOAcF with 1 to give 2, Keq = 1.2 × 10(5) M(–1) (?130 °C) and ?H° = ?6.9(7) kcal/mol, ?S° = ?26(4) cal mol(–1) K(–1)). Vibrational (rR) data reveal a significant increase (29 cm(–1)) in vO–O (= 1149 cm(–1)) compared to that known for [LCu(II)(O2(•–))](+) (1). Along with results obtained from XAS and DFT calculations, hydrogen bonding of HOAcF to a superoxo O-atom in 2 is established. Results from NMR spectroscopy of 2 at ?120 °C in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran are also consistent with 1/HOAcF = 1:1 formulation of 2 and with this complex possessing a triplet (S = 1) ground state electronic configuration, as previously determined for 1. The pre-equilibrium acid association to 1 is followed by outer-sphere electron-transfer reduction of 2 by decamethylferrocene (Me10Fc) or octamethylferrocene (Me8Fc), leading to the products H2O2, the corresponding ferrocenium salt, and [LCu(II)(OAcF)](+). Second-order rate constants for electron transfer (ket) were determined to be 1365 M(–1) s(–1) (Me10Fc) and 225 M(–1) s(–1) (Me8Fc) at ?80 °C. The (bio)chemical relevance of the proton-triggered reduction of the metal-bound dioxygen-derived fragment is discussed.

The (Bio)Chemistry of Non-Transferrin-Bound Iron.

Project description:In healthy individuals, virtually all blood plasma iron is bound by transferrin. However, in several diseases and clinical conditions, hazardous non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI) species occur. NTBI represents a potentially toxic iron form, being a direct cause of oxidative stress in the circulating compartment and tissue iron loading. The accumulation of these species can cause cellular damage in several organs, namely, the liver, spleen, and heart. Despite its pathophysiological relevance, the chemical nature of NTBI remains elusive. This has precluded its use as a clinical biochemical marker and the development of targeted therapies. Herein, we make a critical assessment of the current knowledge of NTBI speciation. The currently accepted hypotheses suggest that NTBI is mostly iron bound to citric acid and iron bound to serum albumin, but the chemistry of this system remains fuzzy. We explore the complex chemistry of iron complexation by citric acid and its implications towards NTBI reactivity. Further, the ability of albumin to bind iron is revised and the role of protein post-translational modifications on iron binding is discussed. The characterization of the NTBI species structure may be the starting point for the development of a standardized analytical assay, the better understanding of these species' reactivity or the identification of NTBI uptake mechanisms by different cell types, and finally, to the development of new therapies.

Bio-Inspired Iron Pentadentate Complexes as Dioxygen Activators in the Oxidation of Cyclohexene and Limonene.

Project description:The use of dioxygen as an oxidant in fine chemicals production is an emerging problem in chemistry for environmental and economical reasons. In acetonitrile, the [(N4Py)FeII]2+ complex, [N4Py-N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)amine] in the presence of the substrate activates dioxygen for the oxygenation of cyclohexene and limonene. Cyclohexane is oxidized mainly to 2-cyclohexen-1-one, and 2-cyclohexen-1-ol, cyclohexene oxide is formed in much smaller amounts. Limonene gives as the main products limonene oxide, carvone, and carveol. Perillaldehyde and perillyl alcohol are also present in the products but to a lesser extent. The investigated system is twice as efficient as the [(bpy)2FeII]2+/O2/cyclohexene system and comparable to the [(bpy)2MnII]2+/O2/limonene system. Using cyclic voltammetry, it has been shown that, when the catalyst, dioxgen, and substrate are present simultaneously in the reaction mixture, the iron(IV) oxo adduct [(N4Py)FeIV=O]2+ is formed, which is the oxidative species. This observation is supported by DFT calculations.
