A new triazine bearing a pyrazolone group capable of copper, nickel, and zinc chelation.

ABSTRACT: Interests in inorganic applications of triazines is growing. In this report, metal complexes of copper(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II) and a novel class of chelates comprising a triazine ring substituted with a hydrazine group and pyralozone are evaluated using spectrophotometric methods, single crystal X-ray diffractometry, and electrochemistry. Complexes with copper(II) include a single chelate and two chloride atoms to satisfy a trigonal bipryamidal coordination sphere. The nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes are comprised of two chelating groups that adopt an octahedral geometry around the metal ion. Irreversible redox activity was observed with the copper(II) complex but no redox activity was observed with the ligand alone or zinc(II) and nickel(II) complexes. Use of the coumarin carboxylic acid assay shows that the ligand motif is capable of preventing redox cycling of copper in biological conditions and could thus serve as an antioxidant preventative agent. Cellular toxicity studies show that the new triazine molecule could have therapeutic applications in the µM concentration range based on the measured EC50=1.183±2 mM. Altogether this work shows that by merging triazine chemistry into inorganic compounds, there is potential to explore a range applications thanks to the new architecture.

Project description:Cancer is still one of the major diseases worldwide. The discovery of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones is one of the areas of priority in the fight against cancer. Dioxadet ([5-[[4,6-bis(aziridin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]amino]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl]methanol) represents one of the promising 1,3,5-triazine derivatives and has cytostatic activity towards ovarian cancer. In this study, we first report the development of dioxadet-bearing nanomedicines based on block-copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether (mPEG) and poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and then conduct an investigation into their characteristics and properties. The preparation of narrow-sized nanoparticles with a hydrodynamic diameter of 100−120 nm was optimized using a nanoprecipitation approach. Thoughtful optimization of the preparation of nanomedicines was carried out through adjustments to the polymer’s molecular weight, the pH of the aqueous medium used for nanoprecipitation, the initial drug amount in respect to the polymer, and polymer concentration in the organic phase. Under optimized conditions, spherical-shaped nanomedicines with a hydrodynamic diameter of up to 230 nm (PDI < 0.2) containing up to 592 ± 22 μg of dioxadet per mg of polymer nanoparticles were prepared. Study of the drug’s release in a model medium revealed the release up to 64% and 46% of the drug after 8 days for mPEG-b-PLA and mPEG-b-PCL, respectively. Deep analysis of the release mechanisms was carried out with the use of a number of mathematical models. The developed nanoparticles were non-toxic towards both normal (CHO-K1) and cancer (A2780 and SK-OV-3) ovarian cells. A cell cycle study revealed lesser toxicity of nanomedicines towards normal cells and increased toxicity towards cancer cells. The IC50 values determined for dioxadet nanoformulations were in the range of 0.47−4.98 μg/mL for cancer cells, which is close to the free drug’s efficacy (2.60−4.14 μg/mL). The highest cytotoxic effect was found for dioxadet loaded to mPEG-b-PCL nanoparticles.

Project description:The Duluth Complex in northeastern Minnesota hosts economically significant deposits of copper, nickel, and platinum group elements (PGEs). The primary sulfide mineralogy of these deposits includes the minerals pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, pentlandite, and cubanite, and weathering experiments show that most sulfide-bearing rock from the Duluth Complex generates moderately acidic leachate (pH 4 to 6). Microorganisms are important catalysts for metal sulfide oxidation and could influence the quality of water from mines in the Duluth Complex. Nevertheless, compared with that of extremely acidic environments, much less is known about the microbial ecology of moderately acidic sulfide-bearing mine waste, and so existing information may have little relevance to those microorganisms catalyzing oxidation reactions in the Duluth Complex. Here, we characterized the microbial communities in decade-long weathering experiments (kinetic tests) conducted on crushed rock and tailings from the Duluth Complex. Analyses of 16S rRNA genes and transcripts showed that differences among microbial communities correspond to pH, rock type, and experimental treatment. Moreover, microbial communities from the weathered Duluth Complex rock were dominated by taxa that are not typically associated with acidic mine waste. The most abundant operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were from the genera Meiothermus and Sulfuriferula, as well as from diverse clades of uncultivated Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, and Betaproteobacteria Specific taxa, including putative sulfur-oxidizing Sulfuriferula spp., appeared to be primarily associated with Duluth Complex rock, but not pyrite-bearing rocks subjected to the same experimental treatment. We discuss the implications of these results for the microbial ecology of moderately acidic mine waste with low sulfide content, as well as for kinetic testing of mine waste.IMPORTANCE Economic sulfide mineral deposits in the Duluth Complex may represent the largest undeveloped source of copper and nickel on Earth. Microorganisms are important catalysts for sulfide mineral oxidation, and research on extreme acidophiles has improved our ability to manage and remediate mine wastes. We found that the microbial assemblages associated with weathered rock from the Duluth Complex are dominated by organisms not widely associated with mine waste or mining-impacted environments, and we describe geochemical and experimental influences on community composition. This report will be a useful foundation for understanding the microbial biogeochemistry of moderately acidic mine waste from these and similar deposits.
