Designed iron carbonyls as carbon monoxide (CO) releasing molecules: rapid CO release and delivery to myoglobin in aqueous buffer, and vasorelaxation of mouse aorta.

ABSTRACT: The physiological roles of CO in neurotransmission, vasorelaxation, and cytoprotective activities have raised interest in the design and syntheses of CO-releasing materials (CORMs) that could be employed to modulate such biological pathways. Three iron-based CORMs, namely, [(PaPy(3))Fe(CO)](ClO(4)) (1), [(SBPy(3))Fe(CO)](BF(4))(2) (2), and [(Tpmen)Fe(CO)](ClO(4))(2) (3), derived from designed polypyridyl ligands have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. In these three Fe(II) carbonyls, the CO is trans to a carboxamido-N (in 1), an imine-N (in 2), and a tertiary amine-N (in 3), respectively. This structural feature has been correlated to the strength of the Fe-CO bond. The CO-releasing properties of all three carbonyls have been studied in various solvents under different experimental conditions. Rapid release of CO is observed with 2 and 3 upon dissolution in both aqueous and nonaqueous media in the presence and absence of dioxygen. With 1, CO release is observed only under aerobic conditions, and the final product is an oxo-bridged diiron species while with 2 and 3, the solvent bound [(L)Fe(CO)](2+) (where L = SBPy(3) or Tpmen) results upon loss of CO under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The apparent rates of CO loss by these CORMs are comparable to other CORMs such as [Ru(glycine)(CO)(3)Cl] reported recently. Facile delivery of CO to reduced myoglobin has been observed with both 2 and 3. In tissue bath experiments, 2 and 3 exhibit rapid vasorelaxation of mouse aorta muscle rings. Although the relaxation effect is not inhibited by the soluble guanylate cyclase inhibitor ODQ, significant inhibition is observed with the BK(Ca) channel blocker iberiotoxin.

Project description:Gut microbiota are emerging as potential contributors to the regulation of host homeostasis. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota associated with increased intestinal permeability facilitates the passage of endotoxins and other microbial products, including indoxyl sulfate in the circulation. Although an emerging body of evidence has suggested that indoxyl sulfate is a key substance for the development of chronic kidney disease, few studies have investigated the direct association of indoxyl sulfate with vascular function. We hypothesized that indoxyl sulfate adversely affects vascular function. Aortas isolated from male Wistar rat were examined in the presence or absence of indoxyl sulfate to assess the vascular function, including vasorelaxation and vasocontraction. Indoxyl sulfate (vs. vehicle) (1) decreased vasorelaxation induced by acetylcholine (ACh) but not by sodium nitroprusside; (2) had no significant alterations of noradrenaline-induced vasocontraction in the absence and presence of endothelium; (3) decreased adenylyl cyclase activator (forskolin)-induced vasorelaxation, while such a difference was eliminated by endothelial denudation; and (4) decreased vasorelaxations induced by calcium ionophore (A23187) and transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 agonist (GSK1016790A). The indoxyl sulfate-induced decrease in the vasorelaxations induced by ACh and A23187 increased by cell-permeant superoxide dismutase or by organic anion transporter inhibitor. However, apocynin, an inhibitor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, had no effects on vasorelaxations induced by ACh, A23187, forskolin, and GSK1016790A in the presence of indoxyl sulfate. These results suggest that indoxyl sulfate directly affects the vascular function, particularly, endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation, and this effect may be attributable to increased oxidative stress after cell transportion via organic anion transporter, and such increased oxidative stress may not be attributable to activation of NADPH oxidase activation.
