Enhanced kinetic stability of [Pd2L4](4+) cages through ligand substitution.

چکیده
There is considerable interest in exploiting metallosupramolecular cages as drug delivery vectors. Recently, we developed a [Pd2L4](4+) cage capable of binding two molecules of cisplatin. Unfortunately, this first generation cage was rapidly decomposed by common biologically relevant nucleophiles. In an effort to improve the kinetic stability of these cage architectures here we report the synthesis of two amino substituted tripyridyl 2,6-bis(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)pyridine () ligands (with amino groups either in the 2-() or 3-() positions of the terminal pyridines) and their respective [Pd2()4](4+) cages. These systems have been characterised by (1)H, (13)C and DOSY NMR spectroscopies, high resolution electrospray mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and, in one case, by X-ray crystallography. It was established, using model palladium(ii) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) probe complexes, that the amino substituted compounds were stronger donor ligands than the parent system ( > > ). Competition experiments with a range of nucleophiles showed that these substitutions lead to more kinetically robust cage architectures, with [Pd2()4](4+) proving the most stable. Biological testing on the three ligands and cages against A549 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines showed that only [Pd2()4](4+) exhibited any appreciable cytotoxicity, with a modest IC50 of 36.4 ± 1.9 μM against the MDA-MB-231 cell line. Unfortunately, the increase in kinetic stability of the [Pd2()4](4+) cages was accompanied by loss of cisplatin-binding ability.

The effect of monochloro and dichloro substitution into the ethyl portion on the pyrolysis of ethyl vinyl ether has been studied. This involved four possible monosubstituted derivatives and six disubstituted derivatives. For the monochloro derivatives, B- chloro substitution enhanced the rate constant while a- chloro substitution depressed it noticeably. For the dichloro derivatives, substi...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of highly luminescent heteronuclear coordination cages.
Exo-functionalized Pd2L4 cage compounds with attached Ru(ii) pyridine complexes were prepared via coordination-driven self-assembly. Unlike most of the previously reported palladium(ii) cages, one of these metallocages exhibits an exceptionally high quantum yield of 66%. The presented approach is promising to obtain luminescent coordination complexes for various applications.
متن کاملChloride triggered reversible switching from a metallosupramolecular [Pd2L4](4+) cage to a [Pd2L2Cl4] metallo-macrocycle with release of endo- and exo-hedrally bound guests.
A metallosupramolecular [Pd2L4](4+) cage can be cleanly converted into a [Pd2L2Cl4] metallo-macrocycle upon addition of chloride ions. The process is reversible, treatment of the [Pd2L2Cl4] macrocycle with silver(I) ions regenerates the [Pd2L4](4+) cage. Additionally, it is shown that guest molecules could be released on chloride triggered cage dis-assembly and taken up anew on re-assembly.

A series of [Pd2L4] coordination cages featuring endohedral functionalities in central backbone positions was synthesized. Although attached via C[double bond, length as m-dash]C double bonds, the substituents behave as molecular rotors. This is explained by their pronounced donor-acceptor character which lowers rotational barriers and allows for electronic control over the spinning rates insid...

The self-assembly process of a Pd2L4 cage consisting of flexible ditopic ligands and Pd(ii) ions was revealed by QASAP (quantitative analysis of self-assembly process), which enables one to obtain information about the intermediates transiently produced during the self-assembly as the average composition of all the intermediates. It was found that the dominant pathway to the cage is the formati...
