Synthesis and Structure of Novel Copper(II) Complexes with N,O- or N,N-Donors as Radical Scavengers and a Functional Model of the Active Sites in Metalloenzymes

To evaluate the antioxidant activity of potential synthetic enzyme mimetics, we prepared new five copper(II) complexes via a self-assembly method and named them [Cu(2-(HOCH<sub>2</sub>)py)<sub>3</sub>](ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (<b>1</b>...

description To evaluate the antioxidant activity of potential synthetic enzyme mimetics, we prepared new five copper(II) complexes via a self-assembly method and named them [Cu(2-(HOCH<sub>2</sub>)py)<sub>3</sub>](ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (<b>1</b>), [Cu(2-(HOCH<sub>2</sub>)py)<sub>2</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>2</sub>]SiF<sub>6</sub> (<b>2</b>), [Cu<sub>2</sub>(2-(HOCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>)py)<sub>2</sub>(2-(OCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>)py)<sub>2</sub>](ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (<b>3</b>), [Cu(pyBIm)<sub>3</sub>](BF<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>·1.5H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>4</b>) and [Cu(py<sub>2</sub>C(OH)<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>](ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> (<b>5</b>). The synthetic protocol involved N,O- or N,N-donors: 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (2-(HOCH<sub>2</sub>)py), 2-(hydroxyethyl)pyridine (2-(HOCH<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>)py), 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole (pyBIm), di(2-pyridyl)ketone (py<sub>2</sub>CO). The obtained Cu(II) complexes were fully characterised by elemental analysis, FTIR, EPR, UV-Vis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis. Crystallographic and spectroscopic analyses confirmed chromophores of both monomeric ({CuN<sub>3</sub>O<sub>3</sub>} (<b>1</b>), {CuN<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>} (<b>2</b>), {CuN<sub>6</sub>} (<b>4</b>), {CuN<sub>4</sub>O<sub>2</sub>} (<b>5</b>)) and dimeric complex ({CuN<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>} (<b>3</b>)). Most of the obtained species possessed a distorted octahedral environment, except dimer <b>3</b>, which consisted of two copper centres with square pyramidal geometries. The water-soluble compounds (<b>1</b>, <b>3</b> and <b>5</b>) were selected for biological testing. The results of the study revealed that complex <b>1</b> in solutions displayed better radical scavenging activity than complexes <b>3</b>, <b>5</b> and free ligands. Therefore, complex <b>1</b> has been selected for further studies to test its activity as an enzyme mimetic. The chosen compound was tested on the erythrocyte lysate of two groups of patients after undergoing chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy. The effect of the tested compound (<b>1</b>) on enzyme activity levels (TAS, SOD and CAT) suggests that the selected complex can be treated as a functional mimetic of the enzymes.
