Half-sandwich IridiumIII N-heterocyclic carbene antitumor complexes and biological applications
摘要:
Series of half-sandwich Ir-III N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) antitumor complexes [(eta(5)-Cp*)Ir((CC)-C-boolean AND)Cl] have been synthesized and characterized (Cp* is pentamethyl cyclopentadienyl, and (CC)-C-boolean AND are four NHC chelating ligands containing phenyl rings at different positions). hill complexes showed potent antitumor activity with IC50 values ranged from 3.9 to 11.8 mu M against A549 cells by the MTT assay. Complexes can catalyze the conversion of the coenzyme NADH to NAD(+) and induce the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and bonding to BSA by static quenching mode. Complexes can arrest the cell cycle in G(1) or S phase and reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential. Confocal microscopy test show complexes could target the lysosome and mitochondria in cells with the Pearson's colocalization coefficient of 0.82 and 0.21 after 12 h, respectively, and followed by an energy-dependent cellular uptake mechanism.

Facile intramolecular aliphatic and aromatic C-H activations have been observed for a series of complexes based on the "Cp*Ir(NHC)" fragment (NHC = 1-diphenylmethyl-3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene, 1-tert-butyl-3-methylimidazol-2-ylidene, 1-benzyl-3-tert-butylimidazol-2-ylidene, and 1-benzyl-3-isopropylimidazol-2-ylidene). We have performed a series of experiments for elucidating the factors that determine the aromatic or aliphatic C-H activations that occur. In the cases where both aliphatic and aromatic C-H activations are possible, steric factors govern the selectivity of the reaction.
