Biomimetic Chemical Reactions with Natural Products Using Metalloporphyrins and Salen Complexes as Catalysts: A Brief Review. Chem Biodivers 2024; 21:e202400668. [PMID: 38763894 DOI: 10.1002/cbdv.202400668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024]
Abstract
The cytochrome P450 is a superfamily of hemoproteins mainly present in the liver and are versatile biocatalysts. They participate in the primary metabolism and biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites. Chemical catalysts are utilized to replicate the activities of enzymes. Metalloporphyrins and Salen complexes can contribute to the products' characterization and elucidate biotransformation processes, which are investigated during pre-clinical trials. These catalysts also help discover biologically active compounds and get better yields of products of industrial interest. This review aims to investigate which natural product classes are being investigated by biomimetic chemical models and the functionalities applied in the use of these catalysts. A limited number of studies were observed, with terpenes and alkaloids being the most investigated natural product classes. The research also revealed that Metalloporphyrins are still the most popular in the studies, and the identity and yield of the products obtained depend on the reaction system conditions.

Abstract
The persulfate advanced oxidation is an emerging and efficient pollutant treatment method, but usually requires the help of other materials or energy to catalyze and produce highly oxidizing active substances. In this paper, electrochemical-assisted ultraviolet light coupled peroxodisulfate system (E-UV-PDS) was used to degrade ciprofloxacin (CIP), and it was determined that electrolysis and ultraviolet photolysis were synergistic by calculation. The effects of initial pH, voltage, peroxodisulfate dosage, CIP concentration and coexisting anions on the degradation process were explored. The quenching experiments showed that 1O2, ⋅OH and SO4-⋅ were the main active oxygen species. Under the following conditions, ultraviolet light = 6 W, voltage = 4 V, [peroxodisulfate] = 20 mM, [pH]0 = 7 and [CIP] = 100 mgL-1, the degradation rate of CIP reached about 100% after 120 min, and the influence of inorganic anions was also discussed. Several intermediate products were identified by LC-MS, and three degradation pathways were speculated for CIP degradation. Finally, economic evaluation of the E-UV-PDS system was made, and it was useful to construct environmentally friendly and low-cost catalytic processes for the efficient degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Peroxydisulfate (PDS) is increasingly used for in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) of organic pollutants in groundwater, but the efficient and applicable activator is still scarce. In this study, sludge-derived biochar (SDBC) was prepared by pyrolysis to activate PDS, which could effectively degrade the fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs, levofloxacin, enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin). Compared with pig manure and corn straw derived biochar, SDBC showed higher efficiency in PDS activation. Singlet oxygen (1O2) was identified as the major reactive species, and the surface-bonded radicals also contributed to the FQs degradation. The selective oxidation of FQs by 1O2 was first reported, which followed the trend of enrofloxacin ~ levofloxacin > norfloxacin ~ ciprofloxacin. The CO and Fe2+ on SDBC were the dominant reactive sites for PDS activating. Products analysis revealed that FQs degradation proceeds via the cleavage of the piperazine ring, breaking of the quinolone ring, decarboxylation, and defluorination. Moreover, the tertiary amine of N (4) on enrofloxacin was more reactive towards singlet oxygen than the secondary amine of N (4) on ciprofloxacin, inducing the faster degradation and de-toxicity of enrofloxacin in the reaction system. SDBC showed high reusability in PDS activation and negligible metals leachates were detected. The column study proved the efficiency of PDS/SDBC in groundwater remediation.

Norfloxacin and gentamicin degradation catalyzed by manganese porphyrins under mild conditions: the importance of toxicity assessment.

Abstract
The current work assessed the degradation degree and the degradation products derived from norfloxacin (NOR) and gentamicin (GEN) using iodosylbenzene and iodobenzene diacetate, in the presence of manganese porphyrin as catalysts. Better results for NOR degradation (> 80%) were obtained when more hydrophobic porphyrins were employed. β-brominated manganese porphyrins showed a lower GEN degradation (~ 25%) than the non-brominated ones (~ 35%), probably due to their steric hindrance. In any case, complete mineralization was achieved neither for NOR nor for GEN, and the assignment of the generated products, complemented by the study of their toxicity, was an important step performed. From the obtained results, no correlation was found between the number of identified products and the reported toxicity value (rSpearman,NOR = 0.006; p value = 0.986 and rSpearman,GEN = - 0,198; p value = 0.583), which reinforces the idea of synergism and antagonistic phenomena. The higher degradation degree could have led to products of lower steric hindrance and easier penetration into the A. fischeri cells, which subsequently led to an increase in toxicity for these experiments. In most cases, the products presented higher toxicity than the original compound, which raises a concern about their occurrence in environmental matrices.

Abstract
Nowadays, society’s widespread consumption of pharmaceutical drugs and the consequent accumulation of such compounds or their metabolites in effluents requires the development of efficient strategies and systems that lead to their effective degradation. This can be done through oxidative processes, in which tetrapyrrolic macrocycles (porphyrins, phthalocyanines) deserve special attention since they are among the most promising degradation catalysts. This paper presents a review of the literature over the past ten years on the major advances made in the development of oxidation processes of pharmaceuticals in aqueous solutions using tetrapyrrole-based catalysts. The review presents a brief discussion of the mechanisms involved in these oxidative processes and is organized by the degradation of families of pharmaceutical compounds, namely antibiotics, analgesics and neurological drugs, among others. For each family, a critical analysis and discussion of the fundamental roles of tetrapyrrolic macrocycles are presented, regarding both photochemical degradative processes and direct oxidative chemical degradation.

Abstract
Synthetic manganese porphyrins (MnPs), in the presence of oxidants, were employed for the degradation of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) and levofloxacin (LEV) degradation by iodosylbenzene, iodobenzene diacetate, H2O2 and meta-chloroperbenzoic acid using water-soluble MnP catalysts yielded thirteen and nine products, respectively, seven of which have been proposed for the first time. The MnP catalysts have demonstrated the ability to degrade these antibiotics to a high degree (up to 100% degradation). The structures of the degradation products were proposed based on mass spectrometry analysis, and density functional theory calculations could confirm how the substituent moieties attached to the basic chemical structure of the fluoroquinolones influence the degradation reactions. CIP has been shown to be a more reactive substrate towards the porphyrinic catalysts tested because of its three-membered ring. However, the catalysts could almost completely degrade LEV, highlighting the ability of these porphyrins to act as catalysts to degrade environmental pollutants.

Abstract
Plastic debris is ubiquitous in aquatic systems and has been proven vehicles for the transport of various pollutants including trace organic compounds. Nanoplastics have large specific surface area and hydrophobic characteristics and therefore are capable of adsorbing other organic or inorganic chemicals from the environment. Antibiotics, as another class of emerging contaminants, have raised significant research concern in recent years as they pose threats to the ecosytems and human health. Nevertheless, little information is available on the adsorption behaviors of antibiotics onto nano-sized plastics. The toxicity of combined nanoplastics and antibiotics is also largely unknown. In this study, the physicochemical and thermodynamic interactions between representative nanoplastics, which containing a carboxyl functional group of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-COOH), and typical antibiotic, i.e., ciprofloxacin (CIP) were investigated in a batch adsorption experiment. The specific thermodynamic correlation function of PS-COOH combined with CIP was obtained through isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) analysis. The adsorption kinetics and isotherm of CIP on PS-COOH closely fit the pseudo-second-order kinetic model (r2 = 0.99) and Freundlich isotherm (r2 = 0.99). The ITC results showed that the adsorption reaction of PS-COOH with CIP was a spontaneous exothermic reaction. The adsorption of antibiotics on nanoplastics may aggravate the negative impacts of these two pollutants on aqueous ecosystems, and we hypothesized that would be reflected in the survival rate of model organism of Caenorhabditis elegans when exposed to this combination. This work used a mechanistic approach to unravel the adsorption behavior of antibiotics on nanoplastics and shed light on their potential impact on aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
Conventional Fenton reaction for the pollutant removal is restricted by incomplete H2O2 decomposition due to the low efficient Fe(III)/Fe(II) cycle. In this study, the co-catalytic Fenton processes with g-C3N4 and the roles of potassium doping in the diverse mechanisms were comprehensively investigated. The degradation rate of enrofloxacin (ENR) in g-CN-3.9 %K/Fe(III)/H2O2 was 204 times higher than that in conventional Fenton reaction. This significant enhancement was ascribed to the readily formed complex between Fe(III) and K doped g-C3N4. The K doping facilitated the transfer of photoexcited e- from g-CN-3.9 %K surface to Fe(III), leading to an accelerated Fe(III) reduction to Fe(II). In addition, this complex was coordinated and oxidized by H2O2, resulting in the formation of Fe(V) which quickly degraded ENR. Without K doping, on the other hand, only O2 dominated the degradation of ENR in g-CN/Fe(III)/H2O2 due to the lack of Fe(III) complexation. This study provides a new perspective for regulating the transfer directions of the photoexcited e- with K doping in g-C3N4/Fenton coupled catalytic system for water purification.

Abstract
The modelling of metabolic activation of the benzofuran nucleus is important to obtain eco-sustainable degradation methods and to understand the related mechanisms. The present work reports the catalytic oxidation of benzofuran, 2-methylbenzofuran, and 3-methylbenzofuran by hydrogen peroxide, at room temperature, in the presence of different Mn(III) porphyrins as models of cytochrome P450 enzymes. Conversions above 95% were attained for all the substrates. The key step is the formation of epoxides, which undergo different reaction pathways depending on factors, such as the position of the methyl group and the reaction and work-up conditions used.

Abstract
Atrazine (ATZ) is an herbicide that has been considered an environmental pollutant worldwide. ATZ contaminates groundwaters and can persist in soils for up to a year causing several environmental and health problems. This study aimed to investigate ATZ degradation catalyzed by manganese porphyrins as biomimetic cytochrome P450 models. We used PhIO, PhI(OAc)2, H2O2, t-BuOOH, m-CPBA, or Oxone® as oxidant under mild conditions and evaluated a range of manganese porphyrins as catalyst. Concerning oxidant, iodosylbenzene provided the best result-ATZ degradation catalyzed by one of the studied manganese porphyrins in acetonitrile was as high as 47%. We studied the same catalyst/oxidant systems in natural water from a Brazilian river as solvent and obtained up to 100% ATZ degradation when iodobenzene diacetate was the oxidant, regardless of the manganese porphyrin. Besides the already known ATZ degradation products, we also identified unexpected degradation compounds (ring-opening products). Toxicity tests showed that the latter products were capable of proliferate blood cells because they did not show toxicity under the evaluated conditions.

Abstract
Norfloxacin (NOR) is a synthetic broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic classified as an emerging contaminant. Here, we investigate Mn(III) porphyrin-catalyzed NOR degradation using peroxides or peracids (H2O2, t-BuOOH, or Oxone®) as oxidants. We evaluate three Mn(III) porphyrins: the 1st-generation tetraphenylporphyrin and 2nd -generation porphyrins bearing halogen atoms at the ortho-positions of the porphyrin macrocycle meso-aryl groups. Experiments were carried out in aqueous medium under mild conditions. NOR degradation was 67%. Products were proposed by mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Oxone® was the best oxidant for NOR degradation despite its possible decomposition in the reaction medium. The second-generation Mn(III) porphyrins were more resistant than the first-generation Mn(III) porphyrin, indicating that the bulky groups introduced into the porphyrin macrocycle meso-aryl groups led to more robust catalysts. The degradation products did not present cytotoxic behavior under the employed conditions. In conclusion, Mn(III) porphyrin-catalyzed NOR degradation is a promising strategy to degrade fluoroquinolones and other pollutants.
