Biologically-Active Gold(III) Complexes
نویسنده
چکیده
A review is given of the background to and results of the succesful pharmacological testing of [AuX(2)(damp)] (X = Cl, OAc; damp = 2-Me(2) NCH(2)C(6) H(4)) against a range of microbes, fungi and tumouts, culminating in in vivo xenografts of ZR-1-75. These are the first fully evaluated gold(III) complexes. The activity and reactions of the diacetato-complex bear a resemblance to cisplatin, and some of the relevant chemistry is discussed. Preliminary screening data for C,P-chelated tertiary phosphine derivatives of gold(III) are presented.

The influence of tridentate, nitrogen donor ligands, on the stability of gold(III) complexes under physiological conditions was investigated. The interaction of [Au(terpy)Cl](2+) (terpy = 2,2':6'2'' terpyridine), [Au(bpma)Cl](2+) (bpma = bis(pyridyl-methyl)amine), [Au(dien)Cl](2+) (dien = diethylenetriamine) and [AuCl4](-) with the biologically relevant thiols, L-cysteine (L-Cys) and glutathion...

متن کاملGold(III)-CO and gold(III)-CO2 complexes and their role in the water-gas shift reaction
The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is an important process for the generation of hydrogen. Heterogeneous gold catalysts exhibit good WGS activity, but the nature of the active site, the oxidation state, and competing reaction mechanisms are very much matters of debate. Homogeneous gold WGS systems that could shed light on the mechanism are conspicuous by their absence: gold(I)-CO is inactive an...
متن کاملGold(iii)-arene complexes by insertion of olefins into gold-aryl bonds.
The synthesis and characterization of the first gold(iii)-arene complexes are described. Well-defined (P,C)-cyclometalated gold(iii)-aryl complexes were prepared and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. These complexes swiftly and cleanly reacted with norbornene and ethylene to provide cationic gold(iii)-alkyl complexes, in which the remote phenyl ring was η2-coordinated to gold. The interaction ...
