Abstract: Computer Program Abstracts The category Computer Program Abstracts provides a rapid means of communicating up-to-date information concerning both new programs or systems and significant updates to existing ones. Following normal submission, a Computer Program Abstract will be reviewed by one or two members of the IUCr Commission on Crystallographic Computing. It should not exceed 500 words in length and should follow the standard format given on page 189 of the June 1985 issue of the Journal [J. Appl. CrysL (1985). 18, 189190] and on the World Wide Web at http://www.iucr. ac. uk/journals/jac/software/.

TL;DR: An important structure-activity relationship was deduced where the addition of halogens led to a positive correlation between intracellular ROS generation and antiproliferative activity in the more hydrophilic BpT parent compounds.
Abstract: Iron chelators of the 2′-benzoylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (BpT) class show substantial potential as anticancer agents. To explore structure–activity relationships, new BpT analogues were designed that incorporated halogen substituents on the noncoordinating phenyl group (XBpTs). These XBpT ligands exhibited potent antiproliferative activity with some analogues exceeding that of the parent BpT compound. Importantly, there was an appreciable therapeutic index in vitro, as mortal cells were significantly less affected by these chelators relative to neoplastic cells. The addition of a halogen led to a halogen-specific increase in the redox potential of XBpT–Fe complexes. Probing for chelator-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the fluorescent probe, 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein, revealed a 1.5–4.7-fold increase in fluorescence upon incorporation of Cl, Br, or I to the parent analogues. Furthermore, an important structure–activity relationship was deduced where the addition of halogens led t...

TL;DR: It is shown that the orientation of the propanoic acid group is drastically changed with respect to phase I, leading to strong modifications of the Orientation of the O-H...O hydrogen bonds withrespect to the chains of dimers, which could explain the metastable character of this phase II.
Abstract: Annealing of the quenched ibuprofen at 258 K yielded a new crystalline form, called phase II. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns of this phase II were recorded with a laboratory diffractometer equipped with an INEL G3000 goniometer and a curved position-sensitive detector CPS120. The starting structural model was found by a Monte-Carlo simulated annealing method. The final structure was obtained through Rietveld refinements with rigid-body constraints for the phenyl group and soft restraints on the other interatomic bond lengths and bond angles. The cell volume is 5% larger than that of the conventional phase I at 258 K. It is also shown that the orientation of the propanoic acid group is drastically changed with respect to phase I, leading to strong modifications of the orientation of the O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with respect to the chains of dimers. These structural considerations could explain the metastable character of this phase II.

TL;DR: The asymmetric transformation of the dicopper(I) helicate is the first synthesis of a diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure dicopped helicate containing achiral ligands.
Abstract: Reactions of the bis(bidentate) Schiff-bases N,N'-bis(6-alkyl-2-pyridylmethylene)ethane-1,2-diamine (where alkyl = H, Me, iPr) (L) with tetrakis(acetonitrile)copper(I) hexafluorophosphate and silver(I) hexafluorophosphate afforded, respectively, the double-stranded, dinuclear metal helicates [T-4-(R,R)]-(+/-)-[M2L2](PF6)2 (M = Cu, Ag). The helicates were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, conductivity, microanalysis, and single-crystal X-ray structure determinations on selected compounds. Intermolecular ligand exchange and intramolecular inversion rates for the complexes were investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Reversible intermolecular ligand exchange between two differently substituted helicates followed first-order kinetics. The rate constants (k) and corresponding half-lives (t(1/2)) for ligand exchange for the dicopper(I) helicates were k = (1.6-1.8) x 10(-6) s(-1) (t(1/2) = 110-120 h) in acetone-d6, k = 4.9 x 10(-6) s(-1) (t(1/2) = 40 h) in dichloromethane-d2, and k > 2 x 10(-3) s(-1) (t(1/2) 2 x 10(-3) s(-1) (t(1/2) > 76 kJ mol(-1) was calculated for the process in acetone-d6, nitromethane-d3, and dichloromethane-d2 with DeltaG() = 75 kJ mol(-1) in acetonitrile-d3. Complete anion exchange of the hexafluorophosphate salt of a dicopper(I) helicate with the enantiomerically pure Delta-(-)-tris(catecholato)arsenate(V) ([As(cat)3]-) in the presence of Dabco gave the two diastereomers (R,R)-[Cu2L2][Delta-(-)-[As(cat)3]]2 and (S,S)-[Cu2L2][Delta-(-)-[As(cat)3]]2 in up to 54% diastereomeric excess, as determined by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. The diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure salt (R,R)-[Cu(2)L2][Delta-(-)-[As(cat)3]]2 crystallized from the solution in a typical second-order asymmetric transformation. The asymmetric transformation of the dicopper(I) helicate is the first synthesis of a diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure dicopper(I) helicate containing achiral ligands.
