Tetracycline (TC) is an antibiotic produced on the largest scale in the world and used for the treatment of both humans and animals. Its removal from the circulation chain between the natural environment and animals is still a serious problem. Fe(III) ions can be used to break this chain. Fe(III) ions appear in water in spite of irradiation of Fe(III)-Cit complex and oxidation by oxygen present in water. Fe(III)-Cit was a reservoir of Fe(III) ions from which they were continuously released. Therefore, in this paper we studied an interaction between tetracycline (TC) and Fe(III) ions under fluorescent light at 20 °C and 30 °C in the water environment. This interaction leads to TC + Fe(III) coordinating complex formation. Changes caused by this process were monitored within 1860 min by measuring absorption and fluorescence spectra. The absorption spectra showed a charge-transfer stacking band(s) of oxidized and non-oxidized form of TC above 400 nm; in turn the fluorescence spectra revealed decay of initial bands and formation of the new ones. The initial, main fluorescence band at 16,660 cm associated with the intramolecular proton transfer has gradually disappeared after Fe(III) ions binding to oxygen atoms in the BCD system rings of a TC molecule. Gaussian decomposition of all fluorescence spectra allowed extracting new bands, their evolution in time and calculating the rate of the first reaction step. Temperature rise of 10 °C caused more than a ten-fold increase in the first-order reaction rate.

In the present study, 5-Hydroxy-2-(Oleoyloxymethyl) -4H-pyran-4-one (KMO 3), and their chelated with Cu(II) and Fe(III) ions were synthesized to explore their inhibitory activity against tyrosinase and cytotoxicity. To this end, the structures of the obtained compounds were confirmed by ATR/FT-IR, 13C and 1H-NMR, and UV-vis techniques. The results show that chelating fatty ester presents the bands at 1567m, 1511w cm-1 attributed to the coordinated carbonyl (Cu(II)←[O=C]2), and the bands at 1540m, 1519m cm-1 which were attributed to the coordinated carbonyl (Fe(III)←[O=C]3).

Hybrid polyionic complexes (HPICs) are colloidal structures with a charged core rich in metal ions and a neutral hydrophilic corona. Their properties, whether as reservoirs or catalysts, depend on the accessibility and environment of the metal ions. This study demonstrates that modifying the coordination sphere of these ions can tune the properties of HPICs by altering the composition of the complexing block or varying formulation conditions.

Imaging abnormal copper/iron with effective fluorescent tools is essential to comprehensively put insight into many pathological events. However, conventional coordination-based detection is mired in the fluorescence quenching induced by paramagnetic Cu(II)/Fe(III). Moreover, the strong chelating property of the probe will consume dissociative metal ions and inevitably interfere with the physiological microenvironment.

The sensitivity of solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy can be enhanced via dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) using unpaired electrons as polarizing agents. In metal ions based (MI)-DNP, paramagnetic metal ions are introduced as dopants into inorganic materials serving as endogenous polarizing agents. Having polarizing agents as part of the structure enables signal enhancements within the bulk of the material.

Some specific anthraquinone derivatives (AQs) are known to be used widely as effective chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer. However, their fundamental shortcoming is the high rate of cardiotoxicity observed in treated patients, which is thought to be caused by the increase in production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) catalyzed by iron and copper. The development of improved AQs and other anticancer drugs with enhanced efficacy but reduced toxicity remains a high priority.
