TLDR
The aqua adducts of the anticancer complexes (X=biphenyl (Bip) 1, X=5,8,9,10-tetrahydroanthracene (THA) 2, X-DHA and THA 3; en=ethylenediamime) were separated by HPLC and characterised by mass spectrometry as the products of hydrolysis in water.Abstract:
The aqua adducts of the anticancer complexes [(eta(6)-X)Ru(en)Cl][PF(6)] (X=biphenyl (Bip) 1, X=5,8,9,10-tetrahydroanthracene (THA) 2, X=9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) 3; en=ethylenediamime) were separated by HPLC and characterised by mass spectrometry as the products of hydrolysis in water. The X-ray structures of the aqua complexes [(eta(6)-X)Ru(en)Y][PF(6)](n), X=Bip, Y=0.5 H(2)O/0.5 OH, n=1.5 (4), X=THA, Y=0.5 H(2)O/0.5 OH, n=1.5 (5 A), X=THA, Y=H(2)O, n=2 (5 B), and X=DHA, Y=H(2)O, n=2 (6), are reported. In complex 4 there is a large propeller twist of 45 degrees of the pendant phenyl ring with respect to the coordinated phenyl ring. Although the THA ligand in 5 A and 5 B is relatively flat, the DHA ring system in 6 is markedly bent (hinge bend ca. 35 degrees ) as in the chloro complex 3 (41 degrees ). The rates of aquation of 1-3 determined by UV/Vis spectroscopy at various ionic strengths and temperatures (1.23-2.59x10(-3) s(-1) at 298 K, I=0.1 M) are >20x faster than that of cisplatin. The reverse, anation reactions were very rapid on addition of 100 mM NaCl (a similar concentration to that in blood plasma). The aquation and anation reactions were about two times faster for the DHA and THA complexes compared to the biphenyl complex. The hydrolysis reactions appear to occur by an associative pathway. The pK(a) values of the aqua adducts were determined by (1)H NMR spectroscopy as 7.71 for 4, 8.01 for 5 and 7.89 for 6. At physiologically-relevant concentrations (0.5-5 microM) and temperature (310 K), the complexes will exist in blood plasma as >89 % chloro complex, whereas in the cell nucleus significant amounts (45-65 %) of the more reactive aqua adducts would be formed together with smaller amounts of the hydroxo complexes (9-25 %, pH 7.4, [Cl(-)]=4 mM).read more

TL;DR: This work has developed a new class of organometallic inhibitors through replacement of the triazolo moiety with an organoruthenium fragment that displayed good aquatic stability and moderate binding affinity toward the hA₃ receptor in the low micromolar range.
