Photolytic studies on the carbon monoxide complex of sulphaemoglobin.

ABSTRACT: The CO complex of sulphaemoglobin was found to be photolytically dissociable at pH 6.0 and pH 8.5. The recombination kinetics of the CO complex after flash photolysis show two phases, which differ in rate by approximately 20-fold. At both pH 6.0 and pH 8.5 the two phases show an identical linear dependence on CO concentration, with associated second-order rate constants of 6.0 x 10(3) M-1 . s-1 and 1.2 x 10(5) M-1 . s-1 respectively. The percentage contribution of each of the two phases to the total absorbance change is independent of the CO concentration employed, but is a function of the protein concentration used. The percentage of the faster phase increases with protein dilution. These results taken together with computer simulation suggest the existence of appreciable amounts of monomeric species in solution at both pH 6.0 and pH 8.5 at low concentration of liganded protein. Estimates of the dissociation constants for the dimer in equilibrium monomer equilibrium yield values of 8 microM and 3.5 microM at pH 6.0 and pH 8.5 respectively. Stopped-flow delayed-flash-photolysis studies show that the liganded dimer decays to the liganded monomer with a half-life of approx. 0.5 s. Constant-illumination experiments allow an estimation of the half-life for the combination of deoxy monomers to deoxy dimers of 22 s. A model explaining the range of CO recombination kinetics seen for sulphaemoglobin does not require the existence of a photolytically produced high-activity form, even at high pH, in contrast with the case for normal haemoglobin.

Carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide ligand dynamics in synthetic heme and heme-copper complex systems.

Project description:Intermolecular nitrogen monoxide (*NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) transfer from iron to copper and back, a phenomenon not previously observed, has been accomplished by employing transient-absorbance laser flash photolysis methods. A 1:1 heme/copper component system consisting of a six-coordinate ferrous species, F(8)Fe(II)(CO)(DCIM) or F(8)Fe(II)(NO)(thf) [F(8) = tetrakis(2,6-difluorophenyl)porphyrinate(2-); DCIM = 1,5-dicyclohexylimidazole; thf = tetrahydrofuran], and two ligand-copper(I) complexes, one with tridentate [(Bz)L = (benzyl)bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine] and one with tetradentate coordination [(Py)L = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine], was utilized. The results suggest a lower affinity for NO versus CO binding to copper(I) and a higher rate for NO versus CO binding to heme. In fact, the latter event has been observed in cytochrome c oxidase aa(3).

Studies on carbon monoxide binding by shark haemoglobin.

Project description:The kinetics of the reactions of Pacific-porbeagle haemoglobin with CO were studied by flash-photolysis and stopped-flow methods, and the equilibrium binding curves for CO were measured in spectrophotometric titrations. Measurements were made in the pH range 6-8 and in the temperature range 0-40 degrees C. The results are discussed in terms of the allosteric model proposed by Monod, Wyman & Changeux [(1965) J. Mol. Biol. 12, 88-118]. Within this framework the results indicate that in the R-state the haem groups fall into two classes of different reactivity with different spectral characteristics, but that in the T-state the groups may be essentially equivalent. The physiological importance of the temperature-insensitivity of the equilibrium ligand-binding curves for porbeagle haemoglobin is discussed.

Homologation and functionalization of carbon monoxide by a recyclable uranium complex.

Project description:Carbon monoxide (CO) is in principle an excellent resource from which to produce industrial hydrocarbon feedstocks as alternatives to crude oil; however, CO has proven remarkably resistant to selective homologation, and the few complexes that can effect this transformation cannot be recycled because liberation of the homologated product destroys the complexes or they are substitutionally inert. Here, we show that under mild conditions a simple triamidoamine uranium(III) complex can reductively homologate CO and be recycled for reuse. Following treatment with organosilyl halides, bis(organosiloxy)acetylenes, which readily convert to furanones, are produced, and this was confirmed by the use of isotopically (13)C-labeled CO. The precursor to the triamido uranium(III) complex is formed concomitantly. These findings establish that, under appropriate conditions, uranium(III) can mediate a complete synthetic cycle for the homologation of CO to higher derivatives. This work may prove useful in spurring wider efforts in CO homologation, and the simplicity of this system suggests that catalytic CO functionalization may soon be within reach.

Carbon monoxide poisoning.

Project description:Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of poisoning deaths in many countries, including Japan. Annually, CO poisoning claims about 2000-5000 lives in Japan, which is over half of the total number of poisoning deaths. This paper discusses the physicochemical properties of CO and the toxicological evaluation of CO poisoning.

Controlled Release of Carbon Monoxide from a Pseudo Electron-Deficient Organometallic Complex.

Project description:A 16-electron iridium organometallic is reacted with carbon monoxide to form an 18-electron CO-adduct. This CO-adduct is stable for weeks in the solid state, but quickly reverts to its parent 16-e complex in tetrahydrofuran solution, releasing CO(g). Using a simple methodology, we show that this gas can subsequently be used to perform a carbonylation reaction on another molecule.

A new carbon monoxide-induced complex of cytochrome c oxidase.

Project description:Cytochrome c oxidase isolated from ox heart forms a complex in the presence of millimolar concentrations of CO with absorption bands at 606, 565 and 435 nm (difference spectrum), distinct from both ferrocytochrome a and the classical 590nm carbon-monoxyferrocytochrome a3. This species, which closely resembles Compound C, the derivative formed on photolysis and oxygenation of mixed-valence cytochrome a3+a32+CO, may represent a cytochrome a32+CO complex in which the associated ('invisible') copper is still oxidized.

Towards "CO in a pill": Pharmacokinetic studies of carbon monoxide prodrugs in mice.

Project description:Carbon monoxide (CO) is a known endogenous signaling molecule with potential therapeutic indications in treating inflammation, cancer, neuroprotection, and sickle cell disease among many others. One of the hurdles in using CO as a therapeutic agent is the development of pharmaceutically acceptable delivery forms for various indications. Along this line, we have developed organic CO prodrugs that allow for packing this gaseous molecule into a dosage form for the goal of "carbon monoxide in a pill." This should enable non-inhalation administration including oral and intravenous routes. These prodrugs have previously demonstrated efficacy in multiple animal models. To further understand the CO delivery efficiency of these prodrugs in relation to their efficacy, we undertook the first pharmacokinetic studies on these prodrugs. In doing so, we selected five representative prodrugs with different CO release kinetics and examined their pharmacokinetics after administration via oral, intraperitoneal, and intravenous routes. It was found that all three routes were able to elevate systemic CO level with delivery efficiency in the order of intravenous, oral, and intraperitoneal routes. CO prodrugs and their CO-released products were readily cleared from the circulation. CO prodrugs demonstrate promising pharmaceutical properties in terms of oral CO delivery and minimal drug accumulation in the body. This represents the very first study of the interplay among CO release kinetics, CO prodrug clearance, route of administration, and CO delivery efficiency.

Carbon monoxide targeting mitochondria.

Project description:MITOCHONDRIA PRESENT TWO KEY ROLES ON CELLULAR FUNCTIONING: (i) cell metabolism, being the main cellular source of energy and (ii) modulation of cell death, by mitochondrial membrane permeabilization. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenously produced gaseoustransmitter, which presents several biological functions and is involved in maintaining cell homeostasis and cytoprotection. Herein, mitochondrion is approached as the main cellular target of carbon monoxide (CO). In this paper, two main perspectives concerning CO modulation of mitochondrial functioning are evaluated. First, the role of CO on cellular metabolism, in particular oxidative phosphorylation, is discussed, namely, on: cytochrome c oxidase activity, mitochondrial respiration, oxygen consumption, mitochondrial biogenesis, and general cellular energetic status. Second, the mitochondrial pathways involved in cell death inhibition by CO are assessed, in particular the control of mitochondrial membrane permeabilization.
