Ternary Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and UO2(II) complexes with piroxicam (Pir) drug (H2L1) and dl-alanine (Ala) (HL2) and also the binary UO2(II) complex with Pir were studied. The structures of the complexes were elucidated using elemental, IR, molar conductance, magnetic moment, diffused reflectance and thermal analyses. The UO2(II) binary complex was isolated in 1:2 ratio with the formula [UO2(H2L)2](NO3)2. The ternary complexes were isolated in 1:1:1 (M:H2L1:L2) ratios. The solid complexes were isolated in the general formulae [M(H2L)(L2)(Cl)n(H2O)m].yH2O (M=Fe(III) (n=2, m=0, y=1), Co(II) (n=1, m=1, y=2) and Ni(II) (n=1, m=1, y=0)); [M(H2L)(L2)](X)z.yH2O (M=Cu(II) (X=AcO, z=1, y=0), Zn(II) (X=AcO, z=1, y=3) and UO2(II) (X=NO3, z=1, y=2)). Pir behaves as a neutral bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the pyridine-N and carbonyl-O groups, while Ala behaves as a uninegatively bidentate ligand coordinated to the metal ions via the deprotonated carboxylate-O and amino-N. The magnetic and reflectance spectral data show that the complexes have octahedral geometry except Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes have tetrahedral structures. The thermal decomposition of the complexes was discussed in relation to structure, and the thermodynamic parameters of the decomposition stages were evaluated.

Peroxynitrite, a highly reactive nitrogen species, promotes in U937 cells (a promonocytic cell line) a mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT)-dependent necrosis. An initial event triggered by peroxynitrite (i.e., inhibition of complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain) is responsible for the time-dependent formation of H(2)O(2), essential for the occurrence of cell death. Otherwise non-toxic concentrations of peroxynitrite nevertheless commit cells to MPT-dependent necrosis, which is however prevented by a cytoprotective signaling driven by arachidonic acid (AA) released by the cytosolic PLA(2) isoform. Interestingly, the mechanism whereby delayed formation of H(2)O(2) promotes toxicity in cells exposed to intrinsically toxic concentrations of peroxynitrite is independent of the accumulation of additional damage. Cell death is in fact mediated by inhibition of the AA-dependent cytoprotective signaling. Exogenous AA, however, prevented toxicity also under these conditions. An additional point to be made is that the major findings obtained using U937 cells were reproduced in different cell types belonging to the monocyte/macrophage lineage. Hence, within the context of the inflammatory response, monocytes and macrophages may cope with peroxynitrite by using AA, a signaling molecule largely available at the inflammatory sites.

A series of copper(II) complexes (CuL2x) with new N-di-methylphenyl-3,5-Bu2t-salicylaldimines (L(x)H) were prepared and characterized by IR, UV/vis, 1H NMR, ESR, cyclic voltammetry techniques and chemical oxidation. L(x)H ligands have been found selectively bind to a Cu(II), rather than to Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), VO(IV), Zn(II) and Cd(II). ESR examinations of the CuL2x complexes demonstrate that they exist in magnetically diluted mononuclear or coupled triplet-state structures in the solid. The temperature dependent (113-283 K) intensity of the powder ESR spectra for some CuL2x is characteristic of ferromagnetic coupling (J > 0). The reduction potentials of CuL2x in DMSO are sensitive to aniline moieties. Chemical oxidation of CuL2x with (NH4)2[Ce(NO3)6] in CHCl3 and MeCN solutions at 300 K affords gradually disappearance of their ESR signals and dramatic changes in the electronic spectra as well as the appearance of new maximum bands at 530-672 (CHCl3) and 670-700 nm (MeCN), suggesting generation of Cu(II)-phenoxyl radical species.

2-(5-Methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-4-bromo/nitro-phenols (HLBr and HLNO2) and their Zn(II) complexes with ZnX2 (X = Cl, I, NO3) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra. The OH proton appears near the NH protons in the 1H NMR spectra of the ligands because of the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the OH hydrogen and the C=N nitrogen atoms. The complexation is investigated in ethanol and isopropanol and it is observed that isopropanol is a better solvent than ethanol for the complex forming. HLBr gives harder complexation reaction with Zn(II) according to HLNO2 because of the stronger intramolecular hydrogen bonding in HLBr, and the both ligands react easier with Zn(NO3)2 than ZnCl2 and ZnI2. The Zn(II) complexes of HLBr have 1:1 M:L ratio and ionic character, however, HLNO2 give a non-ionic complex that has 1:2 M:L ratio. In the complexes the phenolic hydrogen is eliminated and a chelate structure is formed.

The paper presents the spectral analysis of cobalt(II) complexes with indoxyl thiosemicarbazone (ITSC) of general composition [CoL2X2] (where L=ITSC, X=Cl-, NO3-, (1/2)SO4(2-), NCS-). The geometry of the complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility measurements and spectral (electronic, IR, EPR, 1H NMR, mass) studies. The various physico-chemical techniques suggested a coordination number of six (octahedral) for chloro, nitrato and thiocyanato complexes. Whereas sulfato complex was found to have five coordinate trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. All the complexes are of high spin type showing magnetic moment corresponding to three unpaired electrons.

Manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes have been synthesized with a new tetradentate ligand viz. 1,3,7,9-tetraaza-2,4,8,10-tetraketo-6,12-diphenyl-cyclododecane (L) and characterized by the elemental analysis, molar conductance measurements, magnetic susceptibility measurements, mass, 1H NMR, IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies. The molar conductance measurements of the complexes in DMF correspond to be nonelectrolytic nature for Mn(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) while 1:2 electrolytes for Ni(II) complexes. Thus, these complexes may be formulated as [M(L)X2] and [Ni(L)]X2 (where M=Mn(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) and X=Cl- and NO3-). On the basis of IR, electronic and EPR spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been assigned for Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes, square-planar for Ni(II) whereas tetragonal for Cu(II) complexes. The ligand and its complexes were also evaluated against the growth of bacteria and pathogenic fungi in vitro.

Hypoxia impairs skeletal muscle function, but the precise mechanisms are incompletely understood. In hypoxic rat diaphragm muscle, generation of peroxynitrite is elevated. Peroxynitrite and other reactive nitrogen species have been shown to impair contractility of skinned muscle fibers, reflecting contractile protein dysfunction. We hypothesized that hypoxia induces contractile protein dysfunction and that reactive nitrogen species are involved. In addition, we hypothesized that muscle reoxygenation reverses contractile protein dysfunction. In vitro contractility of rat soleus muscle bundles was studied after 30 min of hyperoxia (Po2 approximately 90 kPa), hypoxia (Po2 approximately 5 kPa), hypoxia + 30 microM N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA, a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), hyperoxia + 30 microM L-NMMA, and hypoxia (30 min) + reoxygenation (15 min). One part of the muscle bundle was used for single fiber contractile measurements and the other part for nitrotyrosine detection. In skinned single fibers, maximal Ca2+-activated specific force (Fmax), fraction of strongly attached cross bridges (alphafs), rate constant of force redevelopment (ktr), and myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity were determined. Thirty minutes of hypoxia reduced muscle bundle contractility. In the hypoxic group, single fiber Fmax, alphafs, and ktr were significantly reduced compared with hyperoxic, L-NMMA, and reoxygenation groups. Myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity was not different between groups. Nitrotyrosine levels were increased in hypoxia compared with all other groups. We concluded that acute hypoxia induces dysfunction of skinned muscle fibers, reflecting contractile protein dysfunction. In addition, our data indicate that reactive nitrogen species play a role in hypoxia-induced contractile protein dysfunction. Reoxygenation of the muscle bundle partially restores bundle contractility but completely reverses contractile protein dysfunction.

Raman spectroscopy has been used to study the nitrate hydrotalcite mbobomkulite NiAl2(OH)16(NO3).4H2O. Mbobomkulite along with hydrombobomkulite and sveite are known as 'cave' minerals as these hydrotalcites are only found in caves. Two types of nitrate anion are observed using Raman spectroscopy namely free or non-hydrogen bonded nitrate and nitrate hydrogen bonded to the interlayer water and to the 'brucite-like' hydroxyl surface. Two bands are observed in the Raman spectrum of Ni-mbobomkulite at 3576 and 3647 cm(-1) with an intensity ratio of 3.36/7.37 and are attributed to the Ni3OH and Al3OH stretching vibrations. The observation of multiple water stretching vibrations implies that there are different types of water present in the hydrotalcite structure. Such types of water would result from different hydrogen bond structures.

Cadmium-lead interactions for uptake were studied in the TC7 clone of human enterocytic-like Caco-2 cells as a function of inorganic metal speciation. We have previously shown that Cd uptake in these cells involves both the free cation Cd2+ and chlorocomplex (CdCln(2-n)) species. Here we show 1.9 times higher uptake levels for 109CdCln(2-n) compared to 210PbCln(2-n). Reciprocal inhibitions of chlorocomplexes were observed with a much higher inhibitory effect of Cd compared to Pb. Replacing Cl- by NO3- increased both the level of aquo ion 109Cd2+ and 109Cd accumulation. In contrast, higher levels of 210Pb2+ did not favor 210Pb uptake. For both metals, higher uptake data were recorded in the presence of SO4(2-), leading to sulfocomplex formation, compared with Cl-. Reciprocal inhibitions were minimal at high-cation levels but were significant and comparable in the presence of sulfo-complexes. We conclude that, in addition to Cd2+ (but not Pb2+), sulfocomplexes of both metals would preferentially be taken up compared to chlorocomplexes. NRAMP2 is not involved in Pb2+ uptake, and the NRAMP2-mediated Cd2+ uptake is insensitive to Pb. Uptake of Pb chlorocomplexes could involve specific mechanisms but of very low affinity, whereas uptake of Pb sulfocomplexes occurs with high affinity.

Cobalt(II) complexes of reduced glutathione (GSH) of general composition Na[Co(L)(X)].nH2O (where H2L = GSH; X = Cl-, NO3-, NCS-, CH3CO2-, HCO2-, ClO4- and n = 0-4) have been synthesized and characterised by elemental analyses, vibrational spectra, electronic spectra, magnetic susceptibility measurements, thermal studies and molecular modeling studies. Electronic spectra indicate planar geometry for all the complexes. Infrared spectra indicate the presence of H2O molecules (except perchlorate complex) in the complexes that has been supported by TG/DTA. The room temperature magnetic moment values for all complexes lie in the range of 2.60-2.80 BM range indicating departure from spin only values due to second order Zeeman effect. Thermal decomposition of all the complexes proceeds via first order kinetics. The Na[Co(L)(Cl)].2H2O complex has the minimum activation energy and Na[Co(L)(CH3CO2)].3H2O has the maximum activation energy. The molecular modeling calculation for energy minimization optimizes geometry of the metal complexes.
