Transition metal complexes [Co(cyclen)(NH(3))(2)](ClO(4))(3)H(2)O (cyclen=1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) (2), [Co(NH(3))(5)(OH(2))](CF(3)SO(3))(3) (3) [Ni(NH(3))(6)]Br(2) (4) and [Ru(NH(3))(6)]Cl(3) (5) were tested against Sindbis infected baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells and show differential effects from the previously reported anti-viral complex [Co(NH(3))(6)]Cl(3) (1). The macrocyclic complex 2 and labile aqua complex 3 show either no or little effect on the survival on Sindbis virus-infected cells as compared to that for 1, which show a monotonic increase in % BHK cell survival. Nickel and ruthenium ammine complexes 4 and 5 had a moderate influence of cell survival. While the results showed some anti-viral activity for some of the structural variations, it appears that 1, with its potential to be a broad-spectrum anti-viral compound, occupies a unique position in its ability to both significantly enhance cell survival and to decrease viral expression of infected cells. We also show that 1 also shows anti-viral activity against Adenovirus lending support to the broad-spectrum potential of this complex.

Ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced cell apoptosis involves the activation of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK). The activation of JNK requires the presence of scaffold proteins called JNK-interacting proteins (JIP), which bind several members of a signaling cascade for proper signaling specificity. In this study, the expression of scaffold proteins JIP1 and JIP3 and their roles in the regulation of JNK activity were investigated in simulated IR in a cell model (H9c2). JIP1 protein expression was significantly decreased, whereas JIP3 protein expression was increased in IR H9c2 cells. Adenovirus-induced overexpression of JIP1 reduced IR-induced JNK activity and apoptosis. Conversely, overexpression of JIP3 increased JNK activity and apoptosis following IR. Depletion of endogenous JIP1 by siRNA treatment increased the IR-induced JNK activity, whereas siRNA-mediated depletion of endogenous JIP3 inhibited JNK activity. These results suggest that JIP1 and JIP3 play important roles in the activation of JNK during simulated IR challenge in H9c2 cells.
