Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of bovine lactoferrin supersaturated complex with iron (III) ions.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to investigate the process of Fe³⁺ binding to bLTF. Moreover, the physicochemical characterization of the respective supersaturated complex was studied. The knowledge should be important for the description of processes that may take place in dairy products fortified with iron. Additionally, the synthesized complex can be utilized as a dietary supplement for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Finally, it was shown that formation of supersaturated iron-protein structures which include LTF often accompanies development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer or Parkinson. Thus, the study can reveal some aspects of its pathogenesis process. The methodology of the investigation comprised the utilization of batch sorption study and applying Freundlich and Langmuir models. The complex also was characterized by numerous techniques: spectrometric (ICP-MS), spectroscopic (UV-Vis, ATR-FTIR), electron microscopy (TEM-EDX), SDS-PAGE. Based on obtained results the potential mechanisms of iron interaction with protein were described. Moreover, the molecular docking was applied to visualize possible metal binding sites. The respective complex contains ≈ 33.0 mg/g of iron which is nearly 50 Fe³⁺ per one protein molecule. The cytotoxicity of the obtained complex was evaluated by MTT reduction and LDH release assays on Caco-2 and nL929 cell lines.

Project description:Redox-inactive metal ions that function as Lewis acids play pivotal roles in modulating reactivities of oxygen-containing metal complexes in a variety of biological and biomimetic reactions, including dioxygen activation/formation and functionalization of organic substrates. Mononuclear nonheme iron(III)-peroxo species are invoked as active oxygen intermediates in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by nonheme iron enzymes and their biomimetic compounds. Here, we report mononuclear nonheme iron(III)-peroxo complexes binding redox-inactive metal ions, [(TMC)FeIII(O2)]+-M3+ (M3+ = Sc3+ and Y3+; TMC = 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), which are characterized spectroscopically as a 'side-on' iron(III)-peroxo complex binding a redox-inactive metal ion, (TMC)FeIII-(?,?2:?2-O2)-M3+ (2-M). While an iron(III)-peroxo complex, [(TMC)FeIII(O2)]+, does not react with electron donors (e.g., ferrocene), one-electron reduction of the iron(III)-peroxo complexes binding redox-inactive metal ions occurs readily upon addition of electron donors, resulting in the generation of an iron(IV)-oxo complex, [(TMC)FeIV(O)]2+ (4), via heterolytic O-O bond cleavage of the peroxide ligand. The rates of the conversion of 2-M to 4 are found to depend on the Lewis acidity of the redox-inactive metal ions and the oxidation potential of the electron donors. We have also determined the fundamental electron-transfer properties of 2-M, such as the reduction potential and the reorganization energy in electron-transfer reaction. Based on the results presented herein, we have proposed a mechanism for the reactions of 2-M and electron donors; the reduction of 2-M to the reduced species, (TMC)FeII-(O2)-M3+ (2'-M), is the rate-determining step, followed by heterolytic O-O bond cleavage of the reduced species to form 4. The present results provide a biomimetic example demonstrating that redox-inactive metal ions bound to an iron(III)-peroxo intermediate play a significant role in activating the peroxide O-O bond to form a high-valent iron(IV)-oxo species.

Project description:We have synthesized and characterized, using X-ray crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational techniques, a six-coordinate diazide Fe (3+) complex, LFe(N 3) 2 (where L is the tetradentate ligand 7-diisopropyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1-acetic acid), that serves as a model of the azide adducts of Fe (3+) superoxide dismutase (Fe (3+)SOD). While previous spectroscopic studies revealed that two distinct azide-bound Fe (3+)SOD species can be obtained at cryogenic temperatures depending on protein and azide concentrations, the number of azide ligands coordinated to the Fe (3+) ion in each species has been the subject of some controversy. In the case of LFe(N 3) 2, the electronic absorption and magnetic circular dichroism spectra are dominated by two broad features centered at 21 500 cm (-1) (approximately 4000 M (-1) cm (-1)) and approximately 30 300 cm (-1) (approximately 7400 M (-1) cm (-1)) attributed to N3 (-) --> Fe (3+) charge transfer (CT) transitions. A normal coordinate analysis of resonance Raman (RR) data obtained for LFe(N 3) 2 indicates that the vibrational features at 363 and 403 cm (-1) correspond to the Fe-N 3 stretching modes (nu Fe-N3) associated with the two different azide ligands and yields Fe-N 3 force constants of 1.170 and 1.275 mdyne/A, respectively. RR excitation profile data obtained with laser excitation between 16,000 and 22,000 cm (-1) reveal that the nu Fe-N3 modes at 363 and 403 cm (-1) are preferentially enhanced upon excitation in resonance with the N 3 (-) --> Fe (3+) CT transitions at lower and higher energies, respectively. Consistent with this result, density functional theory electronic structure calculations predict a larger stabilization of the molecular orbitals of the more strongly bound azide due to increased sigma-symmetry orbital overlap with the Fe 3d orbitals, thus yielding higher N 3 (-) --> Fe (3+) CT transition energies. Comparison of our data obtained for LFe(N 3) 2 with those reported previously for the two azide adducts of Fe (3+)SOD provides compelling evidence that a single azide is coordinated to the Fe (3+) center in each protein species.
