Synthesis and Characterization of Manganese Dithiocarbamate Complexes: New Evidence of Dioxygen Activation. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26195954. [PMID: 34641499 PMCID: PMC8512220 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26195954] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Metal dithiocarbamate compounds have long been the subject of research due to their ease of formation, excellent properties and potential applications. However, manganese complexes with dithiocarbamates, to our knowledge, have never been used for medical imaging applications. With the aim of developing a new class of mononuclear manganese(II)-based agents for molecular imaging applications, we performed a specific investigation into the synthesis of mononuclear bis-substituted Mn(II) complexes with dithiocarbamate ligands. (2) Methods: Synthesis in either open or inert atmosphere at different Mn(II) to diethyldithiocarbamate molar ratios were performed and the products characterized by IR, EA, ESI-MS and XRD analysis. (3) Results: We found that only under oxygen-free atmospheric conditions the Mn(II) complex MnL2, where L = diethyldithiocarbamate ligand, is obtained, which was further observed to react with dioxygen in the solid state to form the intermediate superoxo Mn(III) complex [MnL2(η2-O2)]. The existence of the superoxo complex was revealed by mass spectroscopy, and this species was interpreted as an intermediate step in the reaction that led the bis-substituted Mn(II) complex, MnL2, to transform into the tris-substituted Mn(III) complex, MnL3. A similar result was found with the ligand L’ (= bis(N-ethoxyethyl)dithiocarbamate). (4) Conclusions: We found that in open atmosphere and in aqueous solution, only manganese(III) diethyldithiocarbamate complexes can be prepared. We report here a new example of a small-molecule Mn(II) complex that efficiently activates dioxygen in the solid state through the formation of an intermediate superoxide adduct.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is a key cancer hallmark that has led to the therapeutic targeting of glycolysis. However, agents that target dysfunctional mitochondrial respiration for targeted therapy remains underexplored. We report the synthesis and characterization of ten (10) novel, highly potent organometallic gold(iii) complexes supported by dithiocarbamate ligands as selective inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration. The structure of dithiocarbamates employed dictates the biological stability and cellular cytotoxicity. Most of the compounds exhibit 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) in the low-micromolar (0.50-2.9 μM) range when tested in a panel of aggressive cancer types with significant selectivity for cancer cells over normal cells. Consequently, there is great interest in the mechanism of action of gold chemotherapeutics, particularly, considering that DNA is not the major target of most gold complexes. We investigate the mechanism of action of representative complexes, 1a and 2a in the recalcitrant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line, MDA-MB-231. Whole-cell transcriptomics sequencing revealed genes related to three major pathways, namely: cell cycle, organelle fission, and oxidative phosphorylation. 2a irreversibly and rapidly inhibits maximal respiration in TNBC with no effect on normal epithelial cells, implicating mitochondrial OXPHOS as a potential target. Furthermore, the modulation of cyclin dependent kinases and G1 cell cycle arrest induced by these compounds is promising for the treatment of cancer. This work contributes to the need for mitochondrial respiration modulators in biomedical research and outlines a systematic approach to study the mechanism of action of metal-based agents.

Abstract
A fibrous grafted metal adsorbent with a piperazinyl-dithiocarbamate (PZ-DTC) group was synthesized by radiation-induced emulsion grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto a polyethylene-coated polypropylene nonwoven fabric (PE/PP-NF) and subsequent three-step chemical modifications consisting of amination with N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)piperazine (N-Boc-piperazine, NBPZ), deprotection of the Boc group with HCl, and dithiocarbamation with carbon disulfide (CS2). By using the NBPZ reagent in the amination step, the self-cross-linking of piperazine (PZ) could be completely suppressed, unlike using the PZ reagent. Consequently, the PZ-DTC group density of the fibrous grafted metal adsorbent synthesized through NBPZ attained 2.122 mmol-PZ-DTC/g-adsorbent, which was approximately 6 times higher than that of the metal adsorbent synthesized through PZ. The fibrous grafted metal adsorbent with the PZ-DTC group selectively adsorbed heavy metal ions over light metal ions. Furthermore, it exhibited high adsorption capacity, particularly for Cu2+. The Cu2+ adsorption capacity was determined to be 1.903 mmol-Cu2+/g-adsorbent by a batchwise adsorption test using a single-metal-ion aqueous solution at pH 6. The order of metal ion selectivity of the fibrous grafted metal adsorbent with the PZ-DTC group was Na+ < Mg2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Cd2+ < Pb2+ ≪ Cu2+, and Co2+ ≈ Ni2+ < Zn2+ ≪ Cu2+. In addition, the fibrous grafted metal adsorbent with the PZ-DTC group did not lose its metal adsorption function even under highly alkaline conditions (pH 15). It could recover Cu2+ efficiently and selectively from a high-concentration Na+ aqueous solution at this pH. The Cu2+ adsorption capacity of the fibrous grafted metal adsorbent with the PZ-DTC group was 0.754 mmol-Cu2+/g-adsorbent under a highly alkaline condition, a 10 M NaOH aqueous solution at pH 15. This value was approximately 2.4 times higher than that of the other grafted adsorbent with an amine-type functional group.

Abstract
A novel Fe(III) Schiff base complex of the [FeL2(NO3)2]NO3 type where L = 2-((pyridin-4-yl)methyleneamino)-3-aminomaleonitrile was synthesized using the reflux and sonochemical methods and their antibacterial and antifungal activity were evaluated. The nanoparticles of iron oxide (Fe2O3) were obtained from the iron nano-structure complex as a precursor after calcination at 600 ˚C for 3 h. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The results of SEM showed that the morphology of iron nano-structure complex was rod-like while the morphology of the Fe2O3 nano powder was spherical. The results of the biological studies indicated that the iron nano-structure complex showed a stronger antibacterial and antifungal efficiency than its bulk complex. Finally, the empirical geometrical parameters of complexes revealed a good agreement with calculated ones at DFT-B3LYP level.

Abstract
AbstractThis article describes an overview of the synthetic techniques and protocols for the preparation of new ligands and respective manganese (Mn) complexes to be tested for biomedical applications. Mn is an essential and biocompatible element, the complexes of which have diverse medicinal applications. The most significant use of Mn complexes is their application against reactive oxygen species in biological systems, and due to this, three Mn-incorporated complexes (AEOL-10150, EUK-134, and M40403) are already under clinical trials. Hence, the interest in synthesizing biologically active Mn complexes is rapidly increasing. Mn complexes are commonly synthesized using either water or ethanol as a reaction medium for their possible usage in biological systems. Using common Mn salts along with suitable organic ligand works well in the presence of little heat to obtain Mn complexes of interest.

Abstract
Fungal infections directly affect millions of people each year. In addition to the invasive fungal infections of humans, the plants and animals that comprise our primary food source are also susceptible to diseases caused by these eukaryotic microbes. The need for antifungals, not only for our medical needs, but also for use in agriculture and livestock causes a high demand for novel antimycotics. Herein, we provide an overview of the most commonly used antifungals in medicine and agriculture. We also present a summary of the recent progress (from 2010-2016) in the discovery/development of new agents against fungal strains of medical/agricultural relevance, as well as information related to their biological activity, their mode(s) of action, and their mechanism(s) of resistance.

Abstract
Some mixed-ligand complexes of Zn(II) and Ni(II) derived from the sodium salt ofN-alkyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate and benzoic acid have been prepared. The complexes are represented as ZnMDBz, ZnEDBz, NiMDBz, and NiEDBz (MD:N-methyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate, ED:N-ethyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate, and Bz: benzoate); and their coordination behavior was characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectra, magnetic and conductivity measurements, and quantum chemical calculations. The magnetic moment measurement and electronic spectra were in agreement with the four proposed coordinate geometries for nickel and zinc complexes and were corroborated by the theoretical quantum chemical calculations. The quantum chemically derived thermodynamics parameters revealed that the formation ofN-methyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate complexes is more thermodynamically favourable than that of theN-ethyl-N-phenyl dithiocarbamate complexes. The bioefficacy of the mixed-ligand complexes examined against different microbes showed moderate to high activity against the test microbes. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant studies of the metal complexes showed that the ethyl substituted dithiocarbamate complexes exhibited better anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties than the methyl substituted dithiocarbamate complexes.
