Oxovanadium(IV) based hypocrellin B complexes with enhanced photodynamic activity.

چکیده
Hypocrellin B (HB), a naturally occurring photosensitizer, has been extensively and intensively studied as a promising photodynamic therapy (PDT) agent. In this work, three new oxovanadium(IV) complexes were designed and synthesized with HB as a bridging ligand and phen (1,10-phenanthroline, complex 1), tmp (3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, complex 2) and dpq (dipyrido[3,2-f:2'3'-h]quinoxaline, complex 3) as terminal ligands. The use of a diimine terminal ligand avoids the formation of polymeric complexes and ensures the three VO(2+)-HB complexes possess a definite molecular formula and molecular weight to meet the single component requirement for an ideal PDT agent. Compared to HB, the VO(2+)-HB complexes exhibit improved water solubility, enhanced absorptivity in the phototherapeutic window, increased binding affinity toward dsDNA, and similar singlet oxygen quantum yield, therefore advanced DNA photocleavage activity. Both the DNA binding constants and photo nuclease activities of the complexes follow the order 2 (tmp) > 3 (dpq) > 1 (phen), demonstrating the importance of the binding affinity to biomolecules, which improves the bioavailability of reactive oxygen species. Our work opens a new avenue for the development of HB-based PDT agents.

The aim of the present study is to synthesize the oxovanadium complex of the V3+ ion with isatin sciff bases. Spectroscopic methods have been used to confirm these models of complexation and to understand the structures of the species formed in methanolic solution. We also have isolated a complex of Vanadium (III) with isatin schiff bases in the solid phase.
