A highly regioselective synthesis of pyrano[3,4-b]indol-1(9H)-ones via gold(III) chloride catalyzed cycloisomerization of 3-ethynyl-indole-2-carboxylic acid was achieved in good to excellent yields. These compounds were screened for their in vitro cytotoxicity against human cervical (HeLa) cell lines. Out of ten compounds, three compounds (7d, 7e and 7j) showed comparable proliferation inhibitory activity against the standard drug cisplatin. Compound 7d was found to be the most efficacious with IC(50) value of 0.22μM.

In this study, we report the first example of acyclic (amino)(N-pyridinium)carbenoid gold(III) complexes synthesized via a coupling reaction between 2-pyridylselenyl chloride and Au(I)-bound isonitriles. The reaction involves an initial oxidative addition of the Se-Cl moiety to Au(I), followed by the nucleophilic addition of the pyridine fragment to the isonitrile's C≡N bond, furnishing a metallacycle. Importantly, this is the first example of the pyridine acting as a nucleophile towards metal-bound isonitriles.

Rationalizing the impact of oxidation states of Au-based complexes on function require synthetic strategies that allow for conserved molecular formula in Au(I) and their Au(III) counterparts. Oftentimes achieving Au(I) and Au(III) coordination complexes with the same ligand system is challenging due to the reactivity and stability of the starting Au(I) or Au(III) starting materials. Thus, attempts to study the impact of oxidation state on biological function has been elusive.

Lead (Pb) and hexavalent chromium (Cr) are highly toxic pollutants with no safe exposure levels, posing significant health risks globally, especially in developing countries. Current detection methods for these metals are often complex and inaccessible, highlighting the urgent need for innovative approaches. In this study, we present a rapid, cost-effective colorimetric assay utilizing ascorbic acid-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the selective detection of Pb and Cr ions at levels recommended by regulatory bodies such as the WHO and EPA.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit different physical properties compared to small molecules, bulk materials and other nanoparticles. Their synthesis using plant extracts, particularly polyflavonoids as phytoreductants, for the conversion of Au(iii) into Au(0) has been reported. In this study, AuNPs were synthesized with extracts, sterols and pure compounds derived from marine sponges using gold(iii) chloride trihydrate.
