AI Article Synopsis

  • Proteasome inhibitors are important for research and treatment, and the study focuses on specific platinum complexes with anthracenyl and heterocyclic rings.
  • Lineweaver-Burk analysis showed that the structure of the heterocycle influences how these platinum complexes bind, with different binding modes leading to either competitive or non-competitive inhibition types.
  • The research highlights that the anthracenyl component is key for strong proteasome inhibition, whereas complexes with naphthyl or phenyl rings display weaker activity.

Article Abstract

Proteasome inhibitors are useful for biochemical research and clinical treatment. In our previous study, we reported that the 4N-coordinated platinum complexes with anthracenyl ring and heterocycle exhibited proteasome-inhibitory activity. In the present study, the structure-activity relationships and characterization of these complexes were determined for the elucidation of the role of aromatic ligands. Lineweaver-Burk analysis revealed that the chemical structure of heterocycles affects the binding mode of platinum complexes. Platinum complexes with anthracenyl ring and pyridine showed competitive inhibition, although platinum complexes with anthracenyl ring and phenanthroline showed non-competitive inhibition. The structure-activity relationships demonstrated that anthracenyl moiety plays a crucial role in proteasome-inhibitory activity. The platinum complexes with naphthyl or phenyl rings exhibited lower inhibitory activities than the platinum complex with anthracenyl ring. The reactivity with N-acetylcysteine varied according to the chemical structure of complexes.

Color-tunable white organic light-emitting diodes (CT-WOLEDs) have attracted widespread attention given their large color variation to meet the different daily scenarios from the perspective of circadian rhythm. However, most reported CT-WOLEDs, especially the tri-color devices, exhibit poor performances and sophisticated structures. Here, a simple structure tri-color CT-WOLED is demonstrated that simultaneously exhibits high efficiency, ultralong operation lifetime, and wide color-tunable range for dynamic sunlight emulation.

Open-shell systems based on first-row transition metals and their involvement in various catalytic processes are well explored. By comparison, mononuclear open-shell complexes of precious transition metals remain underdeveloped. This is particularly true for Ir complexes, as there is very limited information available regarding their application in catalysis.

The binding of carbon dioxide to a transition metal is a complex phenomenon that involves a major redistribution of electron density between the metal center and the triatomic ligand. The chemical reduction of the ligand reveals itself unambiguously by an angular distortion of the CO-molecule as a result of the occupation of an anti-bonding π-orbital and a shift of its antisymmetric stretching vibration, ν, to lower wavenumbers. Here, we generate a carbon dioxide complex of the heavier group-10 metal, platinum, by ultrafast electronic excitation and cleavage of CO from the photolabile oxalate precursor, oxaliplatin, and monitored the ensuing primary dynamics with ultrafast mid-infrared spectroscopy.
