Abstract
The present research focuses on the micro-level detection of cobalt ions in biological and environmental samples using a new probe. The probe is a multifunctional symmetrical dipodal molecule with two pyrogallol binding units attached to the malonate scaffold through a propylene spacer. It was synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, electronic spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The molecule's binding, thermodynamic, and photophysical properties are also described. The designed probe demonstrates an excellent sensing ability for Co(II) based on the ESIPT "OFF-ON" fluorescence mechanism. The experiments explore the high selectivity of the ligand for cobalt sensing over a wide range of metal ions of biological and environmental importance. The fluorescence intensity shows a linear response to Co(II) in 5-100 μM concentration with a detection limit of 8.75 x 10-5 and a 2.65-fold enhancement in the intensity. These results establish its potential application as a fluorescence sensor. The probe is also employed as a colorimetric sensor for the qualitative determination of cobalt ions in DMSO solution. The interesting behavior of the probe motivated us further to study its coordination properties with divalent cobalt in solution. The pre-organized assembly with an appropriate cavity size favors the ligand for an efficient Co(II) encapsulation by coordinating through imine-Ns and aromatic ring-Os donors, giving high formation constants.

Abstract
This study describes the syntheses of four singly- and two doubly-modified vitamin B12 derivatives for generating antimetabolites of Lactobacillus delbrueckii (L. delbrueckii). The two most potent antagonists, a Coβ-phenyl-cobalamin-c,8-lactam and a 10-bromo-Coβ-phenylcobalamin combine a c-lactam or 10-bromo modification at the “eastern” site of the corrin ring with an artificial organometallic phenyl group instead of a cyano ligand at the β-site of the cobalt center. These two doubly-modified B12 antagonists (10 nM) inhibit fully B12-dependent (0.1 nM) growth of L. delbrueckii. In contrast to potent 10-bromo-Coβ-phenylcobalamin, single modified 10-bromo-Coβ-cyanocobalamin lacking the artificial organometallic phenyl ligand does not show any inhibitory effect. These results suggest, that the organometallic β-phenyl ligand at the Co center ultimately steers the metabolic effect of the 10-bromo-analogue. This study describes the syntheses of four singly- and two doubly-modified vitamin B12 derivatives for generating antimetabolites of Lactobacillus delbrueckii (L. delbrueckii).![]()

Abstract
Besides the well-known functions performed by vitamin B12 (CblCN) in biochemical processes of the human body, an increasing interest has been raised by the possibility of its use as a transmembrane drug carrier, capable, among others, of enhancing the accumulation of inorganic cytostatics in cancer cells. The present study was aimed at determining the possibility of the formation of CblCN conjugates with Pd(II) complexes. A key aspect was their stability, which we attempted to tune by appropriate choice of ligands. Syntheses, spectroscopic analysis of postreaction systems and kinetic investigations of conjugate formation reactions, have been complemented by DFT modelling. The obtained results showed that ligand charge, geometry and electron affinity may have a significant impact on carrier binding and release leading to the activation of the Pd(II) complex. This provides a rationale to expect that with appropriate composition of the coordination sphere, it will be possible to extend the spectrum of less toxic inorganic chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Cobalt is an essential micronutrient for human beings. The excessive intake of cobalt may lead to heart-related diseases. In this work, a novel fluorescent probe 1,1'-(((6,11,11-trimethyl-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-6,9-methanopyridazino[4,5-b]quinoxaline-1,4-diyl)bis(azanylylidene))bis(methanylylidene))bis(naphthalen-2-ol) (PDS) was synthesized from camphor. The probe PDS could be utilized to selectively recognize Co2+ over other metal ions. There is a good linear relationship between fluorescence intensity of PDS and Co2+ concentration within 0-20 μM, and its detection limt was found to be 0.925 μM, which is far lower than the national standard for cobalt in drinking water in China. The possible coordination mechanism of PDS with Co2+ was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and density functional theory (DFT). The probe PDS was also successfully applied in detection of Co2+ in tap water and fresh vegetables.

Abstract
The recently delineated structure- and reactivity-based concept of antivitamins B12 has begun to bear fruit by the generation, and study, of a range of such B12 -dummies, either vitamin B12 -derived, or transition metal analogues that also represent potential antivitamins B12 or specific B12 -antimetabolites. As reviewed here, this has opened up new research avenues in organometallic B12 -chemistry and bioinorganic coordination chemistry. Exploratory studies with antivitamins B12 have, furthermore, revealed some of their potential, as pharmacologically interesting compounds, for inducing B12 -deficiency in a range of organisms, from hospital resistant bacteria to laboratory mice. The derived capacity of antivitamins B12 to induce functional B12 -deficiency in mammalian cells and organs also suggest their valuable potential as growth inhibitors of cancerous human and animal cells.

Thiolatocobalamins repair the activity of pathogenic variants of the human cobalamin processing enzyme CblC. Biochimie 2020; 183:108-125.

Abstract
Thiolatocobalamins are a class of cobalamins comprised of naturally occurring and synthetic ligands. Glutathionylcobalamin (GSCbl) occurs naturally in mammalian cells, and also as an intermediate in the glutathione-dependent dealkylation of methylcobalamin (MeCbl) to form cob(I)alamin by pure recombinant CblC from C. elegans. Glutathione-driven deglutathionylation of GSCbl was demonstrated both in mammalian as well as in C. elegans CblC. Dethiolation is orders of magnitude faster than dealkylation of Co-C bonded cobalamins, which motivated us to investigate two synthetic thiolatocobalamins as substrates to repair the enzymatic activity of pathogenic CblC variants in humans. We report the synthesis and kinetic characterization of cysteaminylcobalamin (CyaCbl) and 2-mercaptopropionylglycinocobalamin (MpgCbl). Both CyaCbl and MpgCbl were obtained in high purity (90-95%) and yield (78-85%). UV-visible spectral properties agreed with those reported for other thiolatocobalamins with absorbance maxima observed at 372 nm and 532 nm. Both CyaCbl and MpgCbl bound to wild type human recombinant CblC inducing spectral blue-shifts characteristic of the respective base-on to base-off transitions. Addition of excess glutathione (GSH) resulted in rapid elimination of the β-ligand to give aquacobalamin (H2OCbl) as the reaction product under aerobic conditions. Further, CyaCbl and MpgCbl underwent spontaneous dethiolation thereby repairing the loss of activity of pathogenic variants of human CblC, namely R161G and R161Q. We posit that thiolatocobalamins could be exploited therapeutically for the treatment of inborn errors of metabolism that impair processing of dietary and supplemental cobalamin forms. While these disorders are targets for newborn screening in some countries, there is currently no effective treatment available to patients.

Abstract
Cobyric acid and cobinamide are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of artificial cobalamins modified at the nucleotide loop. However, truncated vitamin B[Formula: see text] derivatives are devoid of the phosphate group. We have found that 2-iodoxy benzoic acid-mediated phosphorolysis leads to the cleavage of only one of the phosphodiester bond giving a vitamin B[Formula: see text] analogue with the phosphate moiety preserved. Subsequent alkylation with an organic halide establishes its role as a precursor for the synthesis of vitamin B[Formula: see text] mimics modified at the nucleotide loop.

Abstract
This paper describes a supramolecular biomimetic model of the “His-on” configuration and the charge relay system present in certain types of B12-dependent enzymes.
A realistic model for the active site of histidine-on cobalamin@protein complexes is reported and studied under homogeneous and immobilized conditions. Analysis of lower ligand modulation and its influence on the properties of the biomimetic compound are presented. The cofactor attachment by a protein's histidine residue was imitated by covalently linking an artificial imidazole-containing linker to cobyric acid. The resulting intramolecular coordination complex is an excellent structural model of its natural archetype, according to 2D 1H-NMR studies and molecular modeling. The effect of deprotonation of the axially coordinating imidazole ligand – as proposed for natural cofactor complexes – tunes significantly the position of the cathodic peak (ΔV = –203 mV) and stabilizes thereby the CoIII form. Partial deprotonation of the imidazole moiety through hydrogen bonding interactions was then achieved by immobilizing the biomimetic model on hydrophobic C18 silica, which yielded an unprecedented insight on how this class of Cbl-dependent proteins may fine-tune their properties in biological systems.

Abstract
B12 -antimetabolites are compounds that counteract the physiological effects of vitamin B12 and related natural cobalamins. Presented here is a structure- and reactivity-based concept of the specific 'antivitamins B12 ': it refers to analogues of vitamin B12 that display high structural similarity to the vitamin and are 'locked chemically' to prevent their metabolic conversion into the crucial organometallic B12 -cofactors. Application of antivitamins B12 to healthy laboratory animals is, thus, expected to induce symptoms of B12 -deficiency. Antivitamins B12 may, hence, be helpful in elucidating still largely puzzling pathophysiological phenomena associated with B12 -deficiency, and also in recognizing physiological roles of B12 that probably still remain to be discovered.

Abstract
Antivitamins represent a broad class of compounds that counteract the essential effects of vitamins. The symptoms triggered by such antinutritional factors resemble those of vitamin deficiencies, but can be successfully reversed by treating patients with the intact vitamin. Despite being undesirable for healthy organisms, the toxicities of these compounds present considerable interest for biological and medicinal purposes. Indeed, antivitamins played fundamental roles in the development of pioneering antibiotic and antiproliferative drugs, such as prontosil and aminopterin. Their development and optimisation were made possible by the study, throughout the 20th century, of the vitamins' and antivitamins' functions in metabolic processes. However, even with this thorough knowledge, commercialised antivitamin-based drugs are still nowadays limited to antagonists of vitamins B9 and K. The antivitamin field thus still needs to be explored more intensely, in view of the outstanding therapeutic success exhibited by several antivitamin-based medicines. Here we summarise historical achievements and discuss critically recent developments, opportunities and potential limitations of the antivitamin approach, with a special focus on antivitamins K, B9 and B12 .
