Cellular Uptake and Photo-Cytotoxicity of a Gadolinium(III)-DOTA-Naphthalimide Complex "Clicked" to a Lipidated Tat Peptide.

ABSTRACT: A new bifunctional macrocyclic chelator featuring a conjugatable alkynyl-naphthalimide fluorophore pendant group has been prepared and its Gd(III) complex coupled to a cell-penetrating lipidated azido-Tat peptide derivative using Cu(I)-catalysed "click" chemistry. The resulting fluorescent conjugate is able to enter CAL-33 tongue squamous carcinoma cells, as revealed by confocal microscopy, producing a very modest anti-proliferative effect (IC50 = 93 µM). Due to the photo-reactivity of the naphthalimide moiety, however, the conjugate's cytotoxicity is significantly enhanced (IC50 = 16 µM) upon brief low-power UV-A irradiation.

Synthesis and cytotoxicity evaluation of naphthalimide derived N-mustards.

Project description:A series of N-mustards, which was conjugated to mono- or bis-naphthalimides with a flexible amine link, were synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines (HCT-116, PC-3, U87 MG, Hep G2 and SK-OV-3). Several compounds displayed better activities than the control compound amonafide. Further evaluations by fluorescence spectroscopy studies and DNA-interstrand cross-linking assays revealed that the derivatives showed both alkylating and intercalating properties. Among the derivatives, the bis-naphthalimide N-mustard derivative 11b was found to exhibit the highest cytotoxic activity and DNA cross-linking ability. Both 11b and 7b induce HCT-116 cell apoptosis by S phase arrest.

Comparison of MRI properties between derivatized DTPA and DOTA gadolinium-dendrimer conjugates.

Project description:In this report we directly compare the in vivo and in vitro MRI properties of gadolinium-dendrimer conjugates of derivatized acyclic diethylenetriamine-N,N',N',N'',N''-pentaacetic acid (1B4M-DTPA) and macrocyclic 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N'',N'''-tetraacetic acid (C-DOTA). The metal-ligand chelates were pre-formed in alcohol prior to conjugation to the generation 4 PAMAM dendrimer (G4D), and the dendrimer-based agents were purified by Sephadex(R) G-25 column. The analysis and SE-HPLC data indicated chelate to dendrimer ratios of 30:1 and 28:1, respectively. Molar relaxivity measured at pH 7.4, 22 degrees C, and 3T are comparable (29.5 vs 26.9 mM(-1)s(-1)), and both conjugates are equally viable as MRI contrast agents based on the images obtained. The macrocyclic agent however exhibits a faster rate of clearance in vivo (t(1/2)=16 vs 29 min). Our conclusion is that the macrocyclic-based agent is the more suitable agent for in vivo use for these reasons combined with kinetic inertness associated with the Gd(III) DOTA complex stability properties.

Theoretical Study of Actinide(III)-DOTA Complexes.

Project description:1,4,7,10-Tetraazacyclododecane-N,N',N″,N‴-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) is a prominent chelating ligand used in imaging contrast agents and radiopharmaceuticals. The present study explores the stabilities, structures, and bonding properties of its complexes with trivalent actinides (Ac, U, Np, Pu, Am, Cm, Cf) using density functional theory and relativistic multireference calculations. For reference purposes, the La- and Lu-DOTA complexes are also included. Similar to La3+, the large An3+ ions prefer the TSAP conformer of the ligand. The An-ligand bonding is mainly electrostatic, with minor charge transfer contributions to the An 6d orbitals. For the assessment of the thermodynamic stabilities in aqueous solution, PCM radii to use in conjunction with the SMD solvation model were developed. Basically, the thermodynamic stability of the DOTA complexes increases along the An row but with notable counteracting of spin-orbit coupling.

Synthesis and Cytotoxicity Evaluation of DOTA-Conjugates of Ursolic Acid.

Project description:In this study, we report the synthesis of several amine-spacered conjugates of ursolic acid (UA) and 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA). Thus, a total of 11 UA-DOTA conjugates were prepared holding various oligo-methylene diamine spacers as well as different substituents at the acetate units of DOTA including tert-butyl, benzyl, and allyl esters. Furthermore, three synthetic approaches were compared for the ethylenediamine-spacered conjugate 29 regarding reaction steps, yields, and precursor availability. The prepared conjugates were investigated regarding cytotoxicity using SRB assays and a set of human tumor cell lines. The highest cytotoxicity was observed for piperazinyl spacered compound 22. Thereby, EC50 values of 1.5 µM (for A375 melanoma) and 1.7 µM (for A2780 ovarian carcinoma) were determined. Conjugates 22 and 24 were selected for further cytotoxicity investigations including fluorescence microscopy, annexin V assays and cell cycle analysis.

Cationic heteroleptic cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes containing phenyl-triazole and triazole-pyridine clicked ligands.

Project description:Novel heteroleptic iridium complexes containing the 1-substituted-4-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole (phtl) cyclometalating ligand have been synthesized. The 3+2 Huisgen dipolar cycloaddition method ('click' chemistry) was utilized to prepare a class of bidentate ligands (phtl) bearing different substituents on the triazole moiety. By using various ligands (phtl-R1 and pytl-R2) (R1 = adamantane, methyl and R2 = adamantane, methyl, beta-cyclodextrin, ursodeoxycholic acid), we prepared a small library of new luminescent ionic iridium complexes [Ir(phtr-R1)2(pytl-R2)]Cl and report on their photophysical properties. The flexibility of the clicking approach allows a straightforward control on the chemical-physical properties of the complexes by varying the nature of the substituent on the ligand.

Crystal structures of hen egg-white lysozyme complexes with gadolinium(III) and gadolinium(III)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

Project description:Analysis at 0.25 nm resolution of the crystal structures of lysozyme-Gd(III) and lysozyme-Gd(III)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNac), prepared by diffusion methods, show that there are two main binding positions for Gd(III), one of which is close to glutamic acid-35 and the other close to aspartic acid-52. The two sites are 0.36 nm part. There is no evidence for the weak binding of Gd(III) to any of the eight other carboxy groups of lysozyme. In the presence of Gd(III), the binding of GlcNac is similar to that observed for the binding of the beta-anomer in subsite C. There are numerous small conformational changes in the protein on binding (Gd(III) and the sugar, and these have been quantified to a first approximation by real-space refinement. These changes are similar in both structures, and involve, among other small movements, shifts of one of the disulphide bridges by up to 0.05 nm. The movement of residues 70--74 observed in the binary complex of lysozyme-GlcNac [Perkins, Johnson, Machin & Phillips (1978) Biochem. J. 173-617] is not observed in the ternary complex of lysozyme-Gd(III)-GlcNac. The nature of the lysozyme-Gd(III) complex is discussed in the light of evidence from other crystallographic studies and n.m.r. solution studies. Preliminary findings for a lysozyme-Gd(III) complex prepared by co-crystallization methods are reported.

Europium(III) DOTA-tetraamide complexes as redox-active MRI sensors.

Project description:PARACEST redox sensors containing the NAD(+)/NADH mimic N-methylquinolinium moiety as a redox-active functional group have been designed and synthesized. The Eu(3+) complex with two quinolinium moieties was nearly completely CEST-silent in the oxidized form but was "turned on" upon reduction with ?-NADH. The CEST effect of the Eu(3+) complex containing only one quinolinium group was much less redox-responsive but showed an unexpected sensitivity to pH in the physiologically relevant pH range.

Tetra-aqua-bis(biuret-?O,O')gadolinium(III) trichloride.

Project description:In the title compound, [Gd(C(2)H(5)N(3)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]Cl(3), which is isostrucutural with its yttrium analogue, the Gd(3+) ion (site symmetry 2) is bonded to eight O atoms (arising from two O,O'-bidentate biuret mol-ecules and four water mol-ecules) in a distorted square-anti-prismatic arrangement. A network of N-H?O, N-H?Cl and O-H?Cl hydrogen bonds helps to establish the packing, leading to a three-dimensional network. One of the chloride ions has site symmetry 2.

Design and synthesis of DNA-intercalative naphthalimide-benzothiazole/cinnamide derivatives: cytotoxicity evaluation and topoisomerase-II? inhibition.

Project description:A new series of different naphthalimide-benzothiazole/cinnamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and tested for their in vitro cytotoxicity on selected human cancer cell lines. Among them, derivatives 4a and 4b with the 6-aminobenzothiazole ring and 5g with the cinnamide ring displayed potent cytotoxic activity against colon (IC50: 3.715 and 3.467 ?M) and lung cancer (IC50: 4.074 and 3.890 ?M) cell lines when compared to amonafide (IC50: 5.459 and 7.762 ?M). Later, the DNA binding studies for these selected derivatives (by CD, UV/vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, DNA viscosity, and molecular docking) suggested that these new derivatives significantly intercalate between two strands of DNA. In addition, the most potent derivatives 4a and 4b were also found to inhibit DNA topoisomerase-II.
