Copper-phenanthroline-induced site-specific oxygen-radical damage to DNA. Detection of loosely bound trace copper in biological fluids.

ABSTRACT: Copper(II) ions, in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline, O2 and a reducing agent, degrade DNA with the release of thiobarbituric-acid-reactive material. This reaction, dependent on the formation of oxygen radicals, was made the basis of a sensitive and specific assay for loosely bound copper in body fluids. When applied to certain extracellular fluids, trace amounts of copper could be detected in the lower micromolar range.

A Heterogenized Copper Phenanthroline System to Catalyze the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Project description:Upon the electrochemical reduction of an in situ generated 5-diazo-1,10-phenanthroline ion, phenanthroline was covalently attached to a gold electrode. The grafted molecules act as a ligand when brought in contact with a copper-containing electrolyte solution. As the ligands are limited in spatial movement, the exclusive formation of the active species with only one phenanthroline ligand coordinated was expected. The in situ generated complexes have been investigated for activity in the oxygen reduction reaction, for which an overpotential of 800 mV is observed. During catalysis, initially a thick copper layer is formed on top of an organic layer that is still present on the gold surface. Upon deterioration of the organic layer underneath the copper over time, the amount of copper on the electrode and thereby the electrocatalytic activity decreases.

Radical-Triggered Chemiluminescence of Phenanthroline Derivatives: An Insight into Radical-Aromatic Interaction.

Project description:The hitherto unknown influence of 1,10-phenonthroline (1,10-phen) and its derivatives on the weak chemiluminescence (CL) of periodate-peroxide has been investigated, and a novel method for CL catalysis is described. Herein, we have deconvoluted the variation in CL intensity arising from the addition of various derivatives of 1,10-phen. Interestingly, similar derivatives of 1,10-phen show interesting differences in their reactivity toward CL. Electron-withdrawing substituents on 1,10-phen boosted the CL signals, indicating a negative charge buildup on 1,10-phen in the rate-determining step. The 1,10-phen derivatives having substitution at the C5=C6 position resulted in no CL signals due to the blockage of the reactive site. Mechanistic investigations are interpreted in terms of free radical (H2O2 reaction), followed by the oxygen atom transfer via an electrophilic attack of IO4 - (IO4 - reaction) on 1,10-phen resulting in dioxetane with enhanced CL emission. Additionally, the relationship between electronic structures and photophysical properties was investigated using density functional theory. Our results are expected to open up promising application of 1,10-phen as a molecular catalyst, providing a new strategy for metal-free catalytic CL enhancement reaction. We believe that this would foster in gleaning more detailed information on the nature of these reactions, thereby leading to a deeper understanding of the CL mechanism.

Diaqua-bis-(perchlorato)(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II).

Project description:In the title compound, [Cu(ClO(4))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom is coordinated in a square-planar fashion by the two N atoms of a chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and by two water mol-ecules trans to the N atoms. The coordination sphere of the metal atom is augmented by O atoms of two weakly bonded perchlorate anions, thus yielding a strongly distorted CuN(2)O(4) octa-hedral environment. The crystal packing is stabilized by O-H?O hydrogen bonds between the water mol-ecules and the perchlorate anions. In addition, the organic mol-ecules are associated by ?-? stacking inter-actions between symmetry-equivalent anti-parallel non-nitro-gen aromatic rings, with inter-planar distances of 3.543?(2)?Å.

catena-Poly[[(1,10-phenanthroline)copper(II)]-?-oxalato].

Project description:In the title coordination polymer, [Cu(C(2)O(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))](n), the Cu(II) atom is six-coordinated by four O atoms from two oxalate ligands and two N atoms from one 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The oxalate anions act as bis-bidentate ligands, bridging the Cu-phen units in zigzag chains extending parallel to [100]. Inter-chain C-H?O hydrogen bonding and ?-? stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7439?(17)?Å] assemble neighboring chains, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.

Upper bound on the biological effects of 50/60 Hz magnetic fields mediated by radical pairs.

Project description:Prolonged exposure to weak (~1 ?T) extremely-low-frequency (ELF, 50/60 Hz) magnetic fields has been associated with an increased risk of childhood leukaemia. One of the few biophysical mechanisms that might account for this link involves short-lived chemical reaction intermediates known as radical pairs. In this report, we use spin dynamics simulations to derive an upper bound of 10 parts per million on the effect of a 1 ?T ELF magnetic field on the yield of a radical pair reaction. By comparing this figure with the corresponding effects of changes in the strength of the Earth's magnetic field, we conclude that if exposure to such weak 50/60 Hz magnetic fields has any effect on human biology, and results from a radical pair mechanism, then the risk should be no greater than travelling a few kilometres towards or away from the geomagnetic north or south pole.

Bromidobis(1,10-phenanthroline-?N,N')copper(II) dicyanamidate.

Project description:The title compound, [CuBr(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)][N(CN)(2)], is formed of discrete [CuBr(phen)(2)](+) complex cations and uncoordinated [N(CN)(2)](-) anions (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline). The Cu atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry by two phen mol-ecules and one bromide ligand, which coordinates in the equatorial plane at a distance of 2.5228?(4)?Å and lying along with the Cu and the amide N atoms on a twofold rotation axis. The two axial Cu-N distances [1.9926?(15)?Å] are slightly shorter than the two equatorial Cu-N bonds [2.0979?(15)?Å]. The structure is stabilized by a weak C-H?N hydrogen bond, with a cyanide N atom of the dicyanamide ligand as an acceptor, and ?-? inter-actions between nearly parallel phenyl and pyridine rings of two adjacent phen mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.589?(1)?Å], and between ? electrons of the dicyanamide anion and the pyridine ring [N?Cg(pyridine) = 3.511?(3)?Å; C-N?Cg(pyridine) = 80.2?(2)°].

Project description:In the title complex, [Cu(2)(CN)(NCS)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], which was synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions, both Cu(I) atoms have a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. They are coordinated by two N atoms of one 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one bridging thio-cyanate anion and one bridging cyanide anion. In the crystal structure, infinite helical {Cu-CN-Cu-SCN}(n) chains are formed along [01].

Adsorption and activation of molecular oxygen over atomic copper(I/II) site on ceria.

Project description:Supported atomic metal sites have discrete molecular orbitals. Precise control over the energies of these sites is key to achieving novel reaction pathways with superior selectivity. Here, we achieve selective oxygen (O2) activation by utilising a framework of cerium (Ce) cations to reduce the energy of 3d orbitals of isolated copper (Cu) sites. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance and density-functional theory simulations are used to demonstrate that a [Cu(I)O2]3- site selectively adsorbs molecular O2, forming a rarely reported electrophilic η2-O2 species at 298 K. Assisted by neighbouring Ce(III) cations, η2-O2 is finally reduced to two O2-, that create two Cu-O-Ce oxo-bridges at 453 K. The isolated Cu(I)/(II) sites are ten times more active in CO oxidation than CuO clusters, showing a turnover frequency of 0.028 ± 0.003 s-1 at 373 K and 0.01 bar PCO. The unique electronic structure of [Cu(I)O2]3- site suggests its potential in selective oxidation.

The behaviour of caeruloplasmin in stored human extracellular fluids in relation to ferroxidase II activity, lipid peroxidation and phenanthroline-detectable copper.

Project description:No Cu(II) ion is measurable in human serum or synovial fluid by the phenanthroline assay. On storage of human serum or synovial fluid at 4 degrees C, phenanthroline-detectable copper appears, lipid peroxidation occurs, ferroxidase I activity declines and ferroxidase II activity rises, yet there is no fall in immunologically detectable caeruloplasmin. Storage of body fluids at -20 degrees C or -70 degrees C slows, but does not prevent, these deteriorative changes. It is suggested that the presence of low-molecular-mass Cu(II) ion complexes, ferroxidase II activity, "cytotoxic factors' and "immunosuppressive factors' in body fluids may be, in part or in whole, an artifact of the storage and handling of the fluids. A report [Blake, Blann, Bacon, Farr, Gutteridge & Halliwell (1983) Clin. Sci. 64, 551-553] that the caeruloplasmin present in rheumatoid synovial fluid is deficient in ferroxidase activity is shown to be such an artifact. It is strongly recommended that all such experiments be performed upon freshly taken fluid samples.

Oxidative damage of U937 human leukemic cells caused by hydroxyl radical results in singlet oxygen formation.

Project description:The exposure of human cells to oxidative stress leads to the oxidation of biomolecules such as lipids, proteins and nuclei acids. In this study, the oxidation of lipids, proteins and DNA was studied after the addition of hydrogen peroxide and Fenton reagent to cell suspension containing human leukemic monocyte lymphoma cell line U937. EPR spin-trapping data showed that the addition of hydrogen peroxide to the cell suspension formed hydroxyl radical via Fenton reaction mediated by endogenous metals. The malondialdehyde HPLC analysis showed no lipid peroxidation after the addition of hydrogen peroxide, whereas the Fenton reagent caused significant lipid peroxidation. The formation of protein carbonyls monitored by dot blot immunoassay and the DNA fragmentation measured by comet assay occurred after the addition of both hydrogen peroxide and Fenton reagent. Oxidative damage of biomolecules leads to the formation of singlet oxygen as conformed by EPR spin-trapping spectroscopy and the green fluorescence of singlet oxygen sensor green detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy. It is proposed here that singlet oxygen is formed by the decomposition of high-energy intermediates such as dioxetane or tetroxide formed by oxidative damage of biomolecules.
