| Abstract | |
In this work we report the results on three different strategies aiming the preparation of materials that might be used as potential nitric oxide releasing materials. In order to achieve this goal, the following approaches were conducted: i) the synthesis and characterization of a new ruthenium nitrosyl complex with cyclam ligand mono- N-substituted with a carboxypropyl pendant group; ii) the immobilization of a ruthenium tetraamine nitrosyl complex on the modified silica gel surface and iii) deposition on the surface of surgical stainless steel of hybrid organic-inorganic thin films containing the trans-[RuCl(NO)(cyclam)](PF6)2 (cyclam = 1,4,8,11- tetraazacyclotetradecane) complex prepared by the sol-gel process. Regarding the first approach, the 3-(1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecan-1- yl)propionic acid ligand, 1-(carboxypropyl)cyclam, was synthesized according to a reported method with slight modifications and purified by a new method which resulted in a significant yield improvement. The 1-(carboxypropyl) ligand, as well as its tetrahydrochloride analog, was characterized by means of 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), vibrational (IR) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. For the 1-(carboxypropyl)cyclam tetrahydrochloride, pKa of carboxypropyl group was determined. The complex fac- [Ru(NO)Cl2(k3N4,N8,N11(1-carboxypropyl)cyclam)]ClH2O was prepared in an one pot reaction by mixing equimolar amounts of RuNOCl3 and (1-carboxypropyl)cyclam. For comparative purposes, the analogous complex trans-[Ru(NO)Cl(cyclam)](PF6)2 was synthesized using RuNOCl3 as starting material, and, also, by a published procedure. The complex fac-[Ru(NO)Cl2(k3N4,N8,N11(1- carboxipropil)cyclam)]ClH2O was characterized by X-ray crystallography, electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), elemental analysis, 1H and 13C NMR, ultraviolet and visible (UV-Vis) and IR spectroscopies. The electrochemical behavior and chloride inertness of the fac complex were investigated and pKa values were estimated. A preliminary investigation of the citotoxicity of this complex on B16-F10 tumor cells was performed. (AU) | |
