2 Mn2 (II,II) complex to (µ-O)2 Mn2 (III,III) core supported by a quinoxaline-based tetranitrogen ligand, Yuji Mikata; Kana Murakami; Ayaka Ochi; Fumie Nakagaki; Kyoko Naito; Arimasa Matsumoto; Ryoji Mitsuhashi; Masahiro Mikuriya, © 2020 Elsevier B.V. Quinoxaline-based tetranitrogen ligand, N,N’-bis(2-quinoxalylmethyl)-N,N’-dimethylethylenediamine (L9), stabilizes the bis(µ-hydroxo) dinuclear manganese(II,II) core. Oxidation of the complex with hydrogen peroxide in methanol suspension affords the bis(µ-oxo) dinuclear manganese(III,III) complex. The quinoxaline-based tripod ligand, tris(2-quinoxalylmethyl)amine (L11), did not afford corresponding bis(hydroxo) dimanganese(II,II) complex due to the subsequent atmospheric oxygen-promoted oxidation in the reaction solution similar to its quinoline counterpart, tris(2-quinolylmethyl)amine (L10). The solid state structures of [Mn(II)Cl2(L9)], [(µ-OH)2Mn2(II,II)(L9)2]2+, [(µ-O)2Mn2(III,III)(L9)2]2+, [(µ-O)2Mn2(III,III)(L11)2]2+, and [(µ-O)2Mn2(III,III)(L10)2]2+ complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography. The magnetic susceptibility measurement of (µ-OH)2Mn2(II,II) complex and electrochemical oxidation of (µ-O)2Mn2(III,III) complexes were performed to evaluate the tetramine ligand effect stabilizing the low oxidation states of dinuclear metal center supported by two oxygen atom bridges., 01 Sep. 2020, 509, 119688, 119688, Scientific journal, 10.1016/j.ica.2020.119688 - Refereed, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, A Tetrakisquinoline Analog of Calcium Indicator Quin2 for Fluorescence Detection of Cd2+, Yuji Mikata; Minori Kaneda; Marin Tanaka; Satoshi Iwatsuki; Hideo Konno; Arimasa Matsumoto, © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim Quin2 (2-{2-[bis(carboxymethyl)amino-5-methylphenoxy]methyl}-6-methoxy-8-[bis(carboxymethyl)amino]quinoline) is a well-known fluorescent Ca2+ indicator. In this study, we replaced its four carboxy groups with quinolines and deleted a methyl group on the benzene ring to afford TQquin2 [N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-8-amino-2-(2-aminophenoxy)methyl-6-methoxyquinoline]. In methanol solution, TQquin2 exhibited fluorescence enhancement toward Cd2+ with excellent selectivity., 08 Mar. 2020, 2020, 9, 757, 763, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.201901323

Utilization of methoxy-substituted quinoline and isoquinoline chromophores, conformational restriction and multidentate coordination structure allow discrimination between Zn2+ and Cd2+. Pyrophosphate (P2O74-, PPi) and phosphate (PO43-) also are selectively detected with dinuclear Zn2+ complexes of tetrakisquinoline-based ligands. Differential stability and structure of the metal complexes, as well as resulting fluorescence enhancement mechanism, such as intramolecular excimer formation via change in coordination geometry, play key roles in the discrimination of target ions., 22 Dec. 2020, 49, 48, 17494, 17504, Scientific journal, True, 10.1039/d0dt03024d
- Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, Switching of Fluorescent Zn/Cd Selectivity in N, N, N′, N′-Tetrakis(6-methoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine by One Asymmetric Carbon Atom Inversion, Yuji Mikata; Kana Nozaki; Marin Tanaka; Hideo Konno; Arimasa Matsumoto; Masaya Kawamura; Shin Ichiro Sato, © 2020 American Chemical Society. A quinoline-based hexadentate ligand, (S,S)-N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(6-methoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine ((S,S)-6-MeOTQPh2EN), exhibits fluorescence enhancement at 498 nm upon addition of 1 equiv of Zn2+ (IZn/I0 = 12, φZn = 0.047) in aqueous DMF solution (DMF/H2O = 2:1). Addition of 1 equiv of Cd2+ affords a much smaller fluorescence increase at the same wavelength (ICd/I0 = 2.5, ICd/IZn = 21%). The trivalent metal ions such as Al3+, Cr3+, and Fe3+ also exhibit fluorescence enhancement at 395 nm (IAl/I0 = 22, ICr/I0 = 6 and IFe3+/I0 = 13). In contrast, meso-6-MeOTQPh2EN exhibits a Cd2+-selective fluorescence increase at 405 nm in the presence of 1 equiv of metal ion (ICd/I0 = 11.5, φCd = 0.022), while Zn2+ induces a smaller fluorescent response under the same experimental conditions (IZn/I0 = 3.3, IZn/ICd = 29%). In this case, the fluorescence intensities of meso-6-MeOTQPh2EN in the presence of a large amount of Zn2+ and Cd2+ become similar. This diastereomer-dependent, fluorescent metal ion specificity is derived from the Zn2+-specific intramolecular excimer formation in (S,S)-6-MeOTQPh2EN-Zn2+ complex and higher binding affinity of meso-6-MeOTQPh2EN with Cd2+ in comparison to Zn2+. The more conformationally restricted diastereomeric pair, namely, cis- and trans-TQDACHs (cis- and trans-N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-diaminocyclohexanes), both exhibit Zn2+-specific fluorescence enhancement because of the high metal binding affinity and intramolecular excimer forming property derived from the rigid DACH backbone., 2020, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.9b03304
- Refereed, Cancers, A basic study of photodynamic therapy with glucose-conjugated chlorin e6 using mammary carcinoma xenografts, Tomohiro Osaki; Shota Hibino; Inoru Yokoe; Hiroaki Yamaguchi; Akihiro Nomoto; Shigenobu Yano; Yuji Mikata; Mamoru Tanaka; Hiromi Kataoka; Yoshiharu Okamoto, © 2019, MDPI AG. All rights reserved. By using the Warburg effect-a phenomenon where tumors consume higher glucose levels than normal cells-on cancer cells to enhance the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT), we developed a new photosensitizer, glucose-conjugated chlorin e6 (G-Ce6). We analyzed the efficacy of PDT with G-Ce6 against canine mammary carcinoma (CMC) in vitro and in vivo. The pharmacokinetics of G-Ce6 at 2, 5, and 20 mg/kg was examined in normal dogs, whereas its intracellular localization, concentration, and photodynamic effects were investigated in vitro using CMC cells (SNP cells). G-Ce6 (10 mg/kg) was administered in vivo at 5 min or 3 h before laser irradiation to SNP tumor-bearing murine models. The in vitro study revealed that G-Ce6 was mainly localized to the lysosomes. Cell viability decreased in a G-Ce6 concentration- and light intensity-dependent manner in the PDT group. Cell death induced by PDT with G-Ce6 was not inhibited by an apoptosis inhibitor. In the in vivo study, 5-min-interval PDT exhibited greater effects than 3-h-interval PDT. The mean maximum blood concentration and half-life of G-Ce6 (2 mg/kg) were 15.19 ± 4.44 µg/mL and 3.02 ± 0.58 h, respectively. Thus, 5-min-interval PDT with G-Ce6 was considered effective against CMC., May 2019, 11, 5, Scientific journal, 10.3390/cancers11050636

60 Fullerene with Tetraethylene Glycols as a Well-defined Soluble Building Block and Saccharide-conjugation Producing PDT Photosensitizer, Atsushi Narumi; Tatsufumi Nakazawa; Kosuke Shinohara; Hiroki Kato; Yoshinori Iwaki; Haruya Okimoto; Moriya Kikuchi; Seigou Kawaguchi; Shodai Hino; Atsushi Ikeda; Montaser Shaykoon Ahmed Shaykoon; Xiande Shen; Qian Duan; Toyoji Kakuchi; Kazuma Yasuhara; Akihiro Nomoto; Yuji Mikata; Shigenobu Yano, © 2019 The Chemical Society of Japan. Tetraethylene glycol (TEG)-conjugated (C60-Ih)[5,6]fullerene (TEG-C60) was synthesized as a soluble molecular building block generating C60-based conjugates with advanced properties. The improved solubility allowed the glycosylation reaction with TEG-C60 using a Lewis acid in chloroform at low temperature. The resultant glycoconjugated TEG-C60 was characterized in terms of water solubility, ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), and photodynamic activity., 2019, 48, 10, 1209, 1211, Scientific journal, 10.1246/cl.190492 - Refereed, Dalton Transactions, Methoxy-substituted tetrakisquinoline analogs of EGTA and BAPTA for fluorescence detection of Cd 2+, Yuji Mikata; Minori Kaneda; Hideo Konno; Arimasa Matsumoto; Shin Ichiro Sato; Masaya Kawamura; Satoshi Iwatsuki, © The Royal Society of Chemistry. EGTA (ethylene glycol bis(2-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) and BAPTA (1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) are well-known Ca 2+ chelators that have four carboxylates, two nitrogen atoms and two ether oxygen atoms. In the present study, we prepared EGTQ (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-bis(2-aminoethoxy)ethane) and BAPTQ (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane) as quinoline alternatives of EGTA and BAPTA, respectively. In methanol-HEPES buffer solution (9 : 1, 50 mM HEPES, 0.1 M KCl, pH = 7.5), EGTQ exhibits fluorescence enhancement induced by Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ with poor selectivity, but BAPTQ did not exhibit a fluorescence response to either metal ion. Introduction of three methoxy substituents at the 5,6,7-positions of each quinoline moiety in BAPTQ specifically enhanced the fluorescence intensity of the Cd 2+ complex, establishing the Cd 2+ -specific probe TriMeOBAPTQ (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane). In contrast, TriMeOEGTQ (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-bis(2-aminoethoxy)ethane) maintains a poor Cd 2+ /Zn 2+ selectivity in its fluorescence response. Although the crystal structures of Cd 2+ /Zn 2+ complexes with EGTQ and BAPTQ derivatives reveal the formation of multiple components including mononuclear and dinuclear complexes, the dinuclear Cd 2+ and Zn 2+ complexes with a linearly extended structure are regarded as possible fluorescent species in the solution. The conformational restriction of BAPTQ due to the orthophenylene moieties in the molecular skeleton is responsible for the formation of the weakly fluorescent, OH-bridged dizinc complex, which is critical to the strict Cd 2+ -specificity in the fluorescence response of TriMeOBAPTQ., 2019, 48, 12, 3840, 3852, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c8dt04735a
- Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, Pyrophosphate-Induced Intramolecular Excimer Formation in Dinuclear Zinc(II) Complexes with Tetrakisquinoline Ligands, Yuji Mikata; Risa Ohnishi; Risa Nishijima; Arimasa Matsumoto; Hideo Konno, © 2018 American Chemical Society. Dinuclear Zn2+ complexes with HTQHPN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine) derivatives have been prepared, and their pyrophosphate (PPi, P2O74-) sensing properties were examined. The ligand library includes six HTQHPN derivatives with electron-donating/withdrawing substituents, an extended aromatic ring, and six-membered chelates upon zinc binding. Complexation of ligand with 2 equiv of Zn2+ promotes small to moderate fluorescence enhancement around 380 nm, but in the cases of HTQHPN, HT(6-FQ)HPN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(6-fluoro-2-quinolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine), and HT(8Q)HPN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(8-quinolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine), subsequent addition of PPi induced a significant fluorescence increase around 450 nm. This fluorescence enhancement in the long-wavelength region is attributed to the conformational change of the bis-(quinolylmethyl)amine moiety which promotes intramolecular excimer formation between adjacent quinolines upon binding with PPi. The structures of PPi- and phosphate-bound dizinc complexes were revealed by X-ray crystallography utilizing phenyl-substituted analogues. The zinc complex with HT(8Q)HPN exhibits the highest signal enhancement (IPPi/I0 = 12.5) and selectivity toward PPi sensing (IATP/IPPi = 20% and IADP/IPPi = 25%). The fluorescence enhancement turned to decrease gradually after the addition of more than 1 equiv of PPi due to the removal of zinc ion from the ligand-zinc-PPi ternary complex, allowing the accurate determination of PPi concentrations at the fluorescence maximum composition. The practical application of the present method was demonstrated monitoring the enzymatic activity of pyrophosphatase., 02 Jul. 2018, 57, 13, 7724, 7734, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b00726
- Refereed, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Carbohydrate-Appended TQNPEN [N,N,N′,N′-Tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-3-aza-1,5-pentanediamine] Derivatives for Fluorescence Detection of Intracellular Cd2+, Yuji Mikata; Kana Nozaki; Minori Kaneda; Keiko Yasuda; Masato Aoyama; Satoshi Tamotsu; Arimasa Matsumoto, © 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim Carbohydrate-appended TQNPEN [N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-3-aza-1,5-pentanediamine] derivatives were developed as intracellular fluorescent Cd2+ sensors. Glucose (L1), galactose (L2), and maltose (L3) were utilized as sugar moieties. All glycosylated derivatives exhibit a fluorescence increase (ICd/I0 = 11–25) at 415 nm upon addition of 1 equiv. of Cd2+; however, 1 equiv. of Zn2+ induces negligible fluorescence change due to weak metal–ligand interaction (IZn/I0 = 3, IZn/ICd = 11–31 %). The properties of the Cd2+ complex with parent TQNPEN, including maximum fluorescence wavelength and lifetime, Cd2+ specificity of the fluorescence, and strong metal binding affinity, were well preserved in L1–L3. The intracellular Cd2+ detection was successfully achieved by glucose- and galactose-appended derivatives L1 and L2, likely due to enhanced cell membrane permeability and intracellular distribution in HeLa cells., 29 Jun. 2018, 2018, 24, 2755, 2761, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.201800086
- Refereed, Heterocycles, Synthesis and antifungal activities of pyridine bioisosteres of a bismuth heterocycle derived from diphenyl sulfone, A. F.M. Hafizur Rahman; Toshihiro Murafuji; Kazuki Yamashita; Masahiro Narita; Isamu Miyakawa; Yuji Mikata; Katsuya Ishiguro; Shin Kamijo, © 2018 The Japan Institute of Heterocyclic Chemistry. – Heterocyclic iodobismuthanes 7–9 [IBi(C6H4-2-SO2C5H3N-1´-)] derived from phenyl pyridinyl sulfones were synthesized. Their antifungal activities against the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared with those of halobismuthanes [XBi(RC6H3-2-SO2C6H4-1´-)] (1: X=Cl; 2: X=I, R=H) derived from diphenyl sulfone derivatives to determine how the bioisosteric replacement of the benzene ring in 2 with the pyridine ring in 7–9 affects their activities. The antifungal activities of 7–9 were higher or comparable to those of 1 and 2. The DFT calculations suggested that the generation of the antifungal activity of the bismuthanes was well understood by the nucleophilic addition of methanethiolate anion as a model biomolecule at the bismuth atom to give an intermediate ate complex., 2018, 96, 6, 1037, 1052, Scientific journal, 10.3987/COM-18-13876

The crystal structures of salts 6-9 prepared from (R)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid [(R)-MαNP acid, (R)-1] and (R)-1-arylethylamines [salt 6, (R)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl) ethylamine ·(R)-1; salt 7, (R)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethylamine·(R)-1; salt 8, (R)-1-(4-chlorophenyl) ethylamine·(R)-1; and salt 9, (R)-1-(3-chlorophenyl)ethylamine·(R)-1] were elucidated by X-ray crystallography. The solid-state associations and conformations of the MαNP salts were defined using the concepts of supramolecular- and planar chirality, respectively, and the crystal structures of salts 6-9 were interpreted as a three-step hierarchical assembly. The para-substituents of the (R)-1-arylethylammonium cations were found on sheet structures consisting of 21 columns. Thus, salts possessing smaller para-substituents, that is, salt 7 (p-F) and salt 9 (p-H), and larger para-substituents, that is, salt 6 (p-OMe) and salt 8 (p-Cl), crystallized in the space groups P21 and C2, respectively. Additionally, weak intermolecular interactions, that is, aromatic C-H…π, C-H…F, and C-H…O interactions, were examined in crystalline salts 6-9., Sep. 2017, 7, 9, 263, Scientific journal, 10.3390/cryst7090263
- Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, TQOPEN (N,N,N′,N′-Tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-3-oxa-1,5-pentanediamine) Family as Heptadentate Fluorescent Cd2+ Sensors, Yuji Mikata; Asako Kizu; Kana Nozaki; Hideo Konno; Hiroshi Ono; Shunsuke Mizutani; Shin Ichiro Sato, © 2017 American Chemical Society. A quinoline-based heptadentate ligand, N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-3-oxa-1,5-pentanediamine (TQOPEN), exhibits a fluorescence increase (ICd/I0 = 25, ?Cd = 0.017) at 428 nm upon addition of 1 equiv of Cd2+. In contrast, 1 equiv of Zn2+ induces a negligible fluorescence change due to weak interaction (IZn/I0 = 2.5, IZn/ICd = 10%). In comparison with TQOPEN, the thia and aza derivatives TQSPEN and TQNPEN exhibit improved Cd2+/Zn2+ selectivity and higher Cd2+-binding affinity, respectively. The solid-state structures of mononuclear Cd2+ and hydroxide-bridged dinuclear Zn2+ complexes of TQOPEN were elucidated by X-ray crystallography. Although the crystal structure of the TQOPEN-Cd2+ complex exhibits a six-coordinate metal center, in which one quinoline weakly interacts with the Cd center (Cd···Nquinoline = 3.303(3) Å), a 1H NMR study at 233 K suggests that all quinolines interact with the Cd center to form a symmetrical seven-coordinate structure in solution. Theoretical calculations (TDDFT) support the flexible coordination environment around the Cd center, leading to intramolecular excimer formation with two quinoline moieties in the excited state. The importance of a heptadentate structure was further demonstrated by the lack of Cd2+ specificity with hexadentate ligands TriQOPEN (N,N,N′-tris(2-quinolylmethyl)-3-oxa-1,5-pentanediamine) and TQCPEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-1,5-pentanediamine)., 03 Jul. 2017, 56, 13, 7404, 7415, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.7b00560

A quinoline-based heptadentate ligand, N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-2,6-bis(aminomethyl)pyridine (TQLN), exhibits a Zn2+-specific fluorescence increase at 428 nm, which is assigned to excimer emission (IZn/I0 = 38, ICd/IZn = 24%, ϕZn = 0.069). In contrast, the isoquinoline counterpart 1-isoTQLN exhibits a Cd2+-specific fluorescence increase at 365 nm attributable to monomer emission (ICd/I0 = 83, IZn/ICd = 19%, ϕCd = 0.015)., 2017, 46, 3, 632, 637, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c6dt03948k
- Refereed, Chemistry Letters, The crystal structure of the more-soluble Mosher's salt, Akio Ichikawa; Hiroshi Ono; Yuji Mikata, © 2017 The Chemical Society of Japan. The crystal structure of salt 4 prepared from (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid [(S)-MTPA, (S)-1] and (R)-1-phenylethylamine [(R)-PEA, (R)-2] was determined using X-ray crystallography. The (S)-MTPA anion showed an unusual conformation. The closest ion-pair joined with a methoxy-group-assisted salt bridge and aromatic C·H···π interaction in a unique supR association. The aromatic C·H···π interactions between the 21 columns were not effective. These results clarified the mechanism of Mosher's enantioresolution of (RS)-1 with (R)-2 in combination with the previously reported crystal structure of the diastereomeric salt 3 [(R)-1·(R)-2]., 2017, 46, 4, 550, 553, Scientific journal, 10.1246/cl.161111
- Refereed, Heterocycles, Synthesis and structural characterization of diazulenylborinic acid, Toshihiro Murafuji; Kohhei Shintaku; Kouhei Nagao; Yuji Mikata; Katsuya Ishiguro; Shin Kamijo, © 2017 The Japan Institute of Heterocyclic Chemistry. Diazulenylborinic acid 1 was synthesized by the reaction of 1,3-dibromoazulen-2-yllithium (2) with 1,3-dibromoazulen-2-ylboronic acid ethylene glycol ester (7d). The X-Ray crystallographic study of 1 revealed that it forms a dimeric structure through intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups. To obtain the tetracoordinate borinate derivative from 1, the attempted esterification of 1 with N,N-dimethylethanolamine did not give corresponding borinate 8 but resulted in the unexpected protodeboronation to give parent 1,3-dibromoazulene (4). The 13C and 11B NMR studies of 1 in the presence of Et3N revealed the change in the φ-polarization of the azulenyl group accompanied by the change in the geometry of the boron to a tetracoordinate structure., 2017, 94, 4, 676, 690, Scientific journal, 10.3987/COM-17-13651
- Refereed, Journal of Organic Chemistry, Intramolecular [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] Cycloaddition Reactions of Cinnamylamides of Ethenetricarboxylate in Sequential Processes, Shoko Yamazaki; Hirotaka Sugiura; Shinnosuke Ohashi; Keisuke Ishizuka; Rina Saimu; Yuji Mikata; Akiya Ogawa, © 2016 American Chemical Society. Intramolecular [2 + 2] and [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of cinnamylamides of ethenetricarboxylate in sequential processes have been studied. Reaction of 1,1-diethyl 2-hydrogen ethenetricarboxylate and trans-cinnamylamines in the presence of EDCI/HOBt/Et3N led to pyrrolidine products in one pot, via intramolecular [2 + 2], [4 + 2], and some other cyclizations. The types of the products depend on the substituents on the benzene ring and the reaction conditions. Reaction of cinnamylamines without substituents on the benzene ring and with halogens and OMe on the para position at room temperature gave cyclobutane-fused pyrrolidines as major products via [2 + 2] cycloaddition. The reaction at 80 °C in 1,2-dichloroethane gave δ-lactone fused pyrrolidines as major products, probably via ring-opening of the cyclobutanes. Interestingly, reaction of 1,1-diethyl 2-hydrogen ethenetricarboxylate and cinnamylamines bearing electron-withdrawing groups such as NO2, CN, CO2Me, CO2Et, and CF3 on ortho and para positions in the presence of EDCI/HOBt/Et3N at room temperature or at 60-80 °C gave tetrahydrobenz[f]isoindolines via [4 + 2] cycloaddition as major products.

4 -PO4 Core, Yuji Mikata; Risa Ohnishi; Risa Nishijima; Hideo Konno, © 2016 American Chemical Society. The tetrakisquinoline ligand HT(6-MeO8Q)HPN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(6-methoxy-8-quinolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine) exhibited Zn2+-induced fluorescence enhancement with high specificity and sensitivity (IZn/I0 = 57 and ICd/IZn = 6% in the presence of 2 equiv of Zn2+ LOD (limit of detection) = 15 nM). This ligand also exhibited fluorescence enhancement specific to inorganic phosphate (PO43-) in DMF-HEPES buffer (50 mM HEPES, 100 mM KCl, pH = 7.5) (1:1) in the presence of 2 equiv of Zn2+. The structure of the unprecedented tetranuclear zinc complex with a μ4-PO4 bridge was elucidated by X-ray crystallography as the key species responsible for fluorescence enhancement., 07 Nov. 2016, 55, 21, 11440, 11446, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.6b01967 - Refereed, Dalton Transactions, OFF-ON-OFF fluorescent response of N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine (1-isoHTQHPN) toward Zn2+, Yuji Mikata; Risa Ohnishi; Anna Ugai; Hideo Konno; Yasushi Nakata; Ikuko Hamagami; Shin Ichiro Sato, © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016. An isoquinoline-based ligand, N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediamine (1-isoHTQHPN), exhibits a fluorescence increase at 475 nm upon addition of 1 equiv. of Zn2+ (IZn/I0 = 12, φZn = 0.023). This fluorescence enhancement turns and then decreases sharply after the addition of more than 1 equiv. of Zn2+ reaching a constant minimum intensity with more than 2 equiv. of Zn2+. In contrast, the fluorescence intensity at 353 nm continues to increase until the signal saturates at ca. 5 equiv. of Zn2+. This observation can be explained by the formation of a fluorescent mononuclear complex ([Zn(1-isoHTQHPN)]2+) followed by a non-fluorescent dinuclear complex ([Zn2(1-isoTQHPN)]3+) at 475 nm during the titration of 1-isoHTQHPN with Zn2+. Both the mono- and dinuclear complexes were characterized by UV-vis, fluorescence, 1H NMR, ESI-MS, X-ray crystallography and TDDFT calculations. The fluorescence enhancement at 475 nm is Zn2+-specific; Cd2+ induces a much smaller emission increase (ICd/I0 = 3.7, ICd/IZn = 31%). The Zn2+/Cd2+ selectivity of the fluorescent response correlates with the difference in excimer-forming ability derived from the Cd-Nisoquinoline and Zn-Nisoquinoline bond distances., 07 May 2016, 45, 17, 7250, 7257, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c6dt00506c

Inter- and intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition reactions of highly electron-deficient ethenetricarboxylates have been studied. Intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction of ethenetricarboxylate esters and cyclopentadiene proceeded at room temperature or -20 °C to give cycloadducts with 1:1.5-1.9 endo:exo ratio. Lewis acids such as EtAlCl2, Zn(OTf)2 and Cu(OTf)2 catalyzed reaction at room temperature or -40 °C gave cycloadducts with 3.1-5.4:1 endo:exo ratio. Reaction of N-benzyl- or N-allyl-2-furylmethylamine and 1,1-diethyl 2-hydrogen ethenetricarboxylate in the presence of EDCI/HOBt/Et3N at room temperature led directly to an intramolecular Diels-Alder adduct stereoselectively.

KGaA, Weinheim. Fifteen bisquinoline derivatives with a thioether linker have been prepared, and their Hg2+- and Fe3+-specific fluorescence responses have been investigated. Upon the addition of Hg2+ ions, unsubstituted 2-quinolylmethyl derivatives 1a-1c exhibit a fluorescence enhancement (off-on) response. On the other hand, ratiometric and fluorescence quenching (on-off) responses are accomplished for derivatives with monomethoxy (2a-2c) and trimethoxy (3a-3c) substituents on the aromatic ring, respectively. The 8-quinolylmethyl derivatives 4a-4c and 5a-5c exhibit a similar response pattern to those of 1 and 2 with enhanced Hg2+ ion selectivity. Increasing the number of sulfur atoms through the extension of the linker chain also improves the Hg2+ ion selectivity., 01 Aug. 2015, 2015, 22, 3769, 3780, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.201500220

3 -symmetric tripodal amine synthesis, Yuji Mikata; Yuki Nodomi; Risa Ohnishi; Asako Kizu; Hideo Konno, © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2015. A convenient synthesis of C3-symmetric tribenzylamine (TBA) derivatives has been investigated. The reaction of benzyl chlorides with acetaldehyde ammonia trimer (1) in the presence of base afforded tribenzylamines in high yields. This efficient method allows the diverse synthesis of TPA (tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) and TQA (tris(2-quinolylmethyl)amine) derivatives. Among the TQA compounds prepared, tris(8-methoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)amine (8-MeOTQA, 4) exhibited superior properties as a fluorescent zinc probe with high quantum yield (Zn = 0.51) and high sensitivity (limit of detection (LOD) = 3.4 nM). The X-ray crystallographic analysis of [Zn(8-MeOTQA)]2+ revealed that the steric and electronic effect of 8-methoxy substituents kicks out the solvent and counterion molecules from the metal coordination sphere, resulting in short Zn-Nquinoline coordination distances (2.04-2.07 Å). The pseudo hexacoordinate complex of 6-methoxy derivative, [Zn(6-MeOTQA)(DMF)(ClO4)]+, exhibited longer Zn-Nquinoline distances (2.07-2.19 Å) and much smaller fluorescence intensity (Zn = 0.027). The replacement of one of the three 8-methoxyquinolines with pyridine also afforded much less fluorescent zinc complex (Zn = 0.095) due to the solvent coordination (Zn-Nquinoline = 2.05-2.18 Å for [Zn(8-MeOBQPA)(CH3OH)]2+)., 07 May 2015, 44, 17, 8021, 8030, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c5dt00514k - Refereed, Dalton Transactions, TQPHEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-phenylenediamine) derivatives as highly selective fluorescent probes for Cd2+, Yuji Mikata; Asako Kizu; Hideo Konno, © 2015 The Royal Society of Chemistry. TQPHEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-phenylenediamine) and its methoxy-substituted derivatives, 6-MeOTQPHEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(6-methoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-phenylenediamine) and TriMeOTQPHEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-1,2-phenylenediamine), were examined as fluorescent Cd2+ sensors. Although the TQPHEN exhibits a negligible fluorescence response toward Zn2+ due to weak binding affinity in DMF-H2O (1:1), a 6-fold fluorescence enhancement at 392 nm was observed in the presence of 1 equiv. of Cd2+. Comprehensive X-ray crystallographic analyses of TQPHEN-Zn2+ and TQPHEN-Cd2+ complexes reveal that significant distortion in the Zn2+ complex plays a key role in the Cd2+ specificity of TQPHEN. The TriMeOTQPHEN exhibits excellent sensitivity and selectivity for Cd2+ detection (ICd/I0 = 44, ICd/IZn = 20 and LODCd = ∼10 nM (LOD = limit of detection)). On the other hand, the trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine derivative TQDACH (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) exhibits high Zn2+ specificity in the fluorescence response and extremely high Zn2+ binding affinity (Dalton Trans., 2013, 42, 9688).

Zn2+-induced fluorescence enhancement of the TPEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine)-based ligand, N,N-bis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)-N′,N′-bis(pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (N,N-1-isoBQBPEN, 1b), has been investigated. Upon Zn2+ binding, 1b shows a fluorescence increase (Zn = 0.028) at 353 and 475 nm. The fluorescence enhancement at longer wavelengths is due to intramolecular excimer formation of two isoquinolines and is specific for Zn2+; Cd2+ induces very small fluorescence at 475 nm (ICd/IZn = 10%). The excimer formation of the [Zn(1b)]2+ complex in the excited state is supported by the time-dependent DFT calculation. Neither long-wavelength fluorescence nor excimer formation is observed in the Zn2+ complex of N,N′-1-isoBQBPEN (2b). The quinoline analog N,N-BQBPEN (1a) exhibits similar but significantly smaller excimer formation. Thermodynamic and kinetic comparisons of Zn2+ binding properties of ethylenediamine-based hexadentate ligands with pyridines and (iso)quinolines are comprehensively discussed., 21 Nov. 2014, 43, 43, 16377, 16386, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c4dt01847h

Upon excitation at 324 nm, 1-isoBQPA exhibits a very weak emission (φ = ∼0.010) in DMF-H2O (1 : 1). Upon Zn2+ addition, the 1-isoBQPA fluorescence increases (φZn = 0.055) at 357 nm and 464 nm. The fluorescence enhancement at longer wavelengths is Zn2+- specific, whereas Cd2+ induces a small emission increase at 464 nm (ICd/I0 = 1.1, ICd/IZn = 14%). The Zn2+/Cd2+ selectivity of the fluorescent response correlates with the Cd-Nisoquinoline and Zn-Nisoquinoline bond distances measured in the crystal structures. Introduction of methoxy groups into the 1-isoBQPA chromophore enhances the fluorescence significantly (φZn = 0.213), which affords 7-MeO-1-isoBQPA properties amenable for fluorescence microscopy in living cells. © 2014 the Partner Organisations., 28 Jul. 2014, 43, 28, 10751, 10759, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c4dt01054j

Burdette, Molecular hybrids of TQEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl) ethylenediamine) and EDTA (ethylenediamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) were examined as fluorescent Zn2+ sensors. Upon the addition of Zn2+, N,N-BQENDA (N,N-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine-N′, N′-diacetic acid, 1a) exhibits a 30-fold emission enhancement at 456 nm (λex = 315 nm, Zn = 0.018) in buffer (HEPES, pH = 7.5, 100 mM KCl). The fluorescence enhancement is Zn2+-specific as Cd2+ induces much smaller increases (ICd/I0 = 5 and ICd/IZn = 16%). These spectroscopic properties, as well as the excellent water-solubility, represent a significant improvement compared to the parent TQEN sensor (Zn = 0.007, ICd/I Zn = 64%). The isoquinoline analog N,N-1-isoBQENDA (N,N-bis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine-N′,N′-diacetic acid, 1b) possesses a similar Zn2+ fluorescence response to the parent 1-isoTQEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine) sensor, but exhibits diminished fluorescence intensity. Apo 1a and 1b extract more than 50% of the Zn2+ from an equimolar amount of [Zn(TPEN)] 2+ (TPEN = N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine) or [Zn(EDTA)]2-, whereas TPEN and EDTA cannot effectively remove Zn2+ from [Zn(1a)] and [Zn(1b)]. The reduction of steric crowding in [Zn(TQEN)]2+ resulting from the substitution of two quinolines with carboxylates enhances the interaction between the metal ion and the remaining quinoline nitrogen atoms. The stronger bonding interaction results in enhanced emission intensity, Zn2+ selectivity and metal ion affinity. This is in contrast to [Zn(1-isoTQEN)]2+ where the isoquinoline-carboxylate replacement does not relieve any coordination distortion, therefore no significant changes in fluorescence or metal binding properties are observed. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry., 14 Jul. 2014, 43, 26, 10013, 10022, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c4dt00261j

Upon the addition of zinc, 6-MeOTQTACN (5) exhibited a 9-fold fluorescence increase at 420 nm (λ

The isoquinoline analog 1-isoTQTACN (6) exhibits minimal fluorescence enhancement upon zinc binding. TPEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylene-diamine) does not extract zinc from the 6-MeOTQTACN-Zn complex (5-Zn).

Although 8-TQEN lacks practicality owing to poor solubility in both aqueous media and organic solvents, 6-MeO-8-TQEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(6-methoxy-8- quinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine, 1b) exhibits Cd2+-selective fluorescence enhancement at 395 nm in DMF-HEPES buffer (1 : 1), (I Cd/I0 = 25, λex = 332 nm, φCd = 0.025). Zn2+ induces weaker fluorescence (I Zn/I0 = 9, IZn/ICd = 0.35). In contrast, both the parent probes TQEN (IZn/I0 = 23, I Cd/IZn = 0.64) and 6-MeOTQEN (IZn/I0 = 11, ICd/IZn = 1.29 exhibit higher sensitivity toward Zn2+. When the quinoline groups were replaced with 8-hydroxyquinoline different responses were observed.

Fluorescence enhancement is Cd2+-specific as Zn2+ induces only more modest emission increases (I Zn/I0 = 8.8, IZn/ICd = 0.45).

The crystal packing of salt 3 was also determined. The conformations of the crystalline (Racid)-MTPA esters were then statistically examined using the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). For secondary alcohols, ca. 65% of the dihedral angles between the ester carbonyl groups and the trifluoromethyl groups ranged between -30° and 0°.

Yapp; Tim Storr, Two new rhenium complexes containing pyridine-triazole (pyta) and quinoline-triazole (quinta) ligands with attached glutamine-targeting agents have been characterized and tested for uptake in the HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line. The glutamine moiety in Re(CO)3Br(pyta) (1) and Re(CO)3Br(quinta) (2) remains pendant in solution. Both complexes exhibit absorptions in the 300-400-nm range with metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) character, as predicted by time-dependent density functional theory calculations. Geometrical analysis by theoretical calculations provides information on the cationic complexes 1 + and 2 + resulting from aquo for halide ligand exchange under aqueous conditions. The emissive properties of both complexes were studied under aqueous conditions, and the measured quantum yields were 0.46 % for 1 + and 0.18 % for 2 +. The large Stokes shifts and oxygen sensitivity of the emission suggest a 3MLCT process for both complexes. Cell studies in the HT-29 cell line demonstrate that both complexes are nontoxic over a large concentration range (0-1.4 mM).

In DMF-H
2 O (1:1) solution, TQDACH exhibits increase of fluorescence at 455 nm in the presence of 1 eq. of zinc ion (λex = 317 nm, = 0.010). Similarly, 1-isoTQDACH exhibited fluorescence enhancement upon binding with zinc (λex = 325 nm, λem = 352 and 475 nm, = 0.032). The fluorescence intensity ratio induced by cadmium relative to zinc (ICd /IZn ) for these 1,2-cyclohexanediamine probes is lower than those for the corresponding ethylenediamine derivatives, TQEN and 1-isoTQEN. Crystal structures of the zinc and cadmium complexes of TQDACH and 1-isoTQDACH reveal the superior metal binding ability of the 1,2-cyclohexanediamine and isoquinoline moieties in comparison to ethylenediamine and quinoline. The conformational restriction afforded by the 1,2-cyclohexanediamine skeleton upon zinc binding leads to enhanced fluorescence intensity and strong metal binding affinity. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013., 14 Jul. 2013, 42, 26, 9688, 9698, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c3dt50719j - Refereed, Tetrahedron Letters, Synthesis, crystal structure, and electronic absorption of chlorophyll derivatives possessing a β-diketonate moiety at the C3 position, Yusuke Kinoshita; Michio Kunieda; Yuji Mikata; Hitoshi Tamiaki, A chlorophyll-a derivative possessing a trifluoroacetylacetonate moiety at the C3 position was prepared by Claisen condensation of the 3-acetyl group with ethyl trifluoroacetate in the presence of sodium methoxide.

This suggests that these molecules function inside the yeast cell by separating into the cationic heterocyclic bismuth scaffold and the anionic carboxylate moiety, and that the bismuth scaffold plays an important role in the inhibition activity. © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.

- Refereed, Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines, Synthesis and photodynamic properties of maltohexaose-conjugated porphyrins, Yuji Mikata; Minako Shibata; Yasuko Baba; Toyoji Kakuchi; Misaki Nakai; Shigenobu Yano, A series of porphyrin derivatives with one to four maltohexaose moieties in their meso positions have been synthesized. Zinc or free-base m-THPP (5,10,15,20-tetrakis(m-hydroxyphenyl)-porphyrin) was used as the porphyrin platform. The reaction of m-THPP with 3-iodopropyl nonadecaacetylmaltohexaoside afforded a mixture of all possible combinations of glycoconjugated porphyrins having one to four maltohexaose moieties; monoglycosylated (Ac-1), bisglycosylated (Ac-cis-2 and Ac-trans-2), triglycosylated (Ac-3), and tetraglycosylated (Ac-4) porphyrins were obtained in 1126% yield. Removal of acetyl groups at maltohexaose moiety afforded highly water-soluble glycoconjugated porphyrins 14. Zinc derivatives were synthesized in a similar manner. These maltohexaose-linked porphyrins exhibit remarkable water-solublity (530 mg/mL for 4). The singlet oxygen production ability upon visible light irradiation is not affected by the maltohexaose substitution. Photo- and dark cytotoxicities of the maltohexaose-conjugated porphyrins 14 and Zn-14 were examined against a HeLa cell line, which showed that the mono-maltohexaosylated derivative (1 and Zn-1) was the most effective photosensitizer for PDT. © 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company., Nov. 2012, 16, 11, 1177, 1185, Scientific journal, 10.1142/S1088424612501155

The MβNP and MαNP anions formed ion-pairs with the PEA and TEA cations, respectively, through a methoxy-group-assisted salt bridge and aromatic CH⋯π interactions. The networks of salt bridges formed 2 1 columns in both salts. Finally, (S)-(2E,6E)-(1- 2H 1)farnesol ((S)-13) was prepared from the reaction of (2E,6E)-farnesal (11) with deuterated (R)-BINAL-H (i.e., (R)-BINAL-D). The enantiomeric excess of compound (S)-13 was determined by NMR analysis of (S)-MαNP ester 14. The solution-state structures of MαNP esters that were prepared from primary alcohols were also elucidated. Princess and the PEA: The crystal structures of the MαNP and MβNP salts were determined by X-ray crystallography. The 1-naphthyl group of the MαNP anion and the 2-naphthyl group of the MβNP anion acted as a C-H donor and -acceptor, respectively. Copyright © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Upon excitation at 336 nm, N,N'-6-MeOBQBGEN showed weak fluorescence (φ≈ 0.016) in HEPES buffer (HEPES 50 mM, KCl 100 mM, pH 7.5). In the presence of Zn, N,N'-6-MeOBQBGEN exhibited a significant increase in fluorescence (φ=0.096) at 414 nm. The fluorescence enhancement is specific for Zn and Cd (ICd/IZn of 50% at 414 nm). On the other hand, N,N-6-MeOBQBGEN exhibited a smaller fluorescence enhancement upon Zn complexation (φ=0.043, λex=334 nm, λem=407 nm) compared with N,N'-6-MeOBQBGEN. Fluorescence microscopic analysis using PC-12 rat adrenal cells revealed that N,N'-6-MeOBQBGEN exhibits a 1.8-fold higher fluorescence-signal response to Zn ion concentration compared with sugar-depleted compound 2 (N,N'-bis[(6- methoxyquinolin-2-yl)methyl]ethylenediamine), due to its enhanced uptake into cells due to the targeting ability of the attached carbohydrates.

The factors that facilitate the coordination of the ether oxygen atom of these ligands to the copper center and the control of chirality around the copper-coordinated oxygen atom are discussed. The copper center exhibits a pentacoordinate geometry with these ligands, as evidenced by X-ray crystallography. The steric effect of the quinoline ring in the L Q complex prevents the coordination of a perchlorate anion to the copper center, which affords the pentacoordinate divalent complex with a shorter copper-oxygen bond than that for the corresponding pyridine ligand (L Py). The six-membered chelate in the L' Py complex also exhibits a shorter Cu-O distance. The conformation of the oxygen atom of the L Py complex is unstable because of fast lone pair inversion, but this inversion is prevented for the complexes with chiral ligands, L Py* 1 and L Py* 2. Upon chelation to the metal center, the HL COO ligand forms a pentacoodinate monomer complex that further affords a 1-D polymer structure. With respect to the oxygen chirality, the water content of the solvent governs the formation of either a homochiral polymer (R-R-R-R- or S-S-S-S-) or an alternative chirality polymer (R-S-R-S-). In this case, the isomers with respect to the oxygen chirality were separated and characterized. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Photoreaction of zinc methyl 20-substituted meso(pyro)pheophorbide-a prepared by modifying naturally occurring chlorophyll-a in the presence of oxygen molecules gave its C19-C20 oxidative cleavage (1-carbonyl-19-oxo-bilatrienes) as the major products and the regioisomeric C1-C20 cleavage (19-carbonyl-1-oxo-bilatrienes) as the minor products. The resulting zinc complexes of linear tetrapyrroles took a helical conformation and the P-conformers were preferential over the M-stereoisomers due to the presence of their 17S,18S-chiral centers. The helical conformers (diastereomers) of the corresponding nickel complexes were separated by reverse-phase or chiral HPLC and their conformational changes were observed in solution., 01 Jun. 2012, 11, 6, 898, 907, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c1pp05301a
- Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, Zinc-specific fluorescent response of tris(isoquinolylmethyl)amines (isoTQAs), Yuji Mikata; Keiko Kawata; Satoshi Iwatsuki; Hideo Konno, Isoquinoline-based tetradentate ligands with C 3-symmetry, tris(1- or 3-isoquinolylmethyl)amine (1- or 3-isoTQA), have been prepared and their zinc-induced fluorescence enhancement was investigated. Upon excitation at 324 nm, 1-isoTQA shows very weak fluorescence (β = ∼0.003) in DMF/H 2O (1/1) solution. In the presence of zinc ion, 1-isoTQA exhibits fluorescence increase (β = 0.041) at 359 and 470 nm. This fluorescence enhancement at 470 nm is specific for zinc. However, 3-isoTQA exhibited a smaller fluorescence enhancement upon zinc complexation (β = 0.017, λ em = 360 and 464 nm) compared with 1-isoTQA. Crystal structures of zinc complexes of isoTQAs demonstrate the diminished steric crowding and shorter Zn-N aromatic distances compared with isoTQENs (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(isoquinolylmethyl)ethylenediamines) leads to a higher fluorescent response toward zinc relative to cadmium. © 2012 American Chemical Society., 06 Feb. 2012, 51, 3, 1859, 1865, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic202159v

The ligand library includes: (i) glucose/galactose as the carbohydrate group; (ii) bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (DPA), bis(2-quinolylmethyl)amine (DQA), or N-(2-pyridylmethyl)glycine (NPG) as the metal binding component; and (iii) an ethylene chain as a linker between the metal binding site and the O/C-glycosides. Microwave induced plasma mass spectroscopy (MIP-MS) measurements revealed that all complexes were extensively incorporated into the HeLa cells over a 24 h period, and the DQA complexes showed the highest uptake of all the complexes in the series. However, in comparison to the corresponding Re complexes without the pendant carbohydrate functions (prepared with the related ligands L DPA, L DQA, and L NPG), only the NPG complexes exhibited carbohydrate enhanced cellular uptake. Considering their water solubility and cellular uptake properties, the NPG complexes containing an O-glycoside group (L1 and L′1) are the best candidates for enhancing cellular uptake of metal ions. Microscopic analysis with PC-12 cells in the presence of thefluorescent complex [Re(L′7)(CO) 3]Cl, revealed that the complex stays in the cell cytosol and cannot penetrate into the nucleus.

- Refereed, CrystEngComm, ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, Crystal structures and chiral recognition of the diastereomeric salts prepared from 2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid, Akio Ichikawa; Hiroshi Ono; Takuya Echigo; Yuji Mikata, This paper is the first to report the structures of crystalline diastereomeric salts 8 and 9 prepared from (R)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid [(R)-MαNP acid, (R)-1] and (S)-1 with (R)-1-phenylethylamine [(R)-PEA, (R)-7], respectively. These crystal structures helped elucidate a novel chiral recognition mechanism characteristic of MαNP salts. The less-soluble diastereomeric salt 8 prepared from (R)-1 and (R)-7 formed an ammonium-carboxylate ion pair by means of a methoxy-assisted salt bridge and an aromatic CH⋯π interaction. The more-soluble diastereomeric salt 9 prepared from (S)-1 and (R)-7 formed an ion pair by a methoxy-assisted salt bridge in which the 1-naphthyl and phenyl groups did not overlap. Instead, salt 9 formed a close ion pair by means of a salt bridge, a CH⋯O hydrogen bond, and a π⋯π interaction. These crystal structures suggest that the molecular length from the MαNP plane containing the carboxy and methoxy groups is critical to the crystallisation of diastereomeric salts. The crystal packing in both salts was investigated with regard to the weak interactions (i.e., salt bridges, NH⋯O and CH⋯O hydrogen bonds, and aromatic CH⋯π, CH⋯π, and π⋯π interactions). Finally, diastereomeric amides 11 and 12 were prepared from (S)-2-methoxy-2-(2-naphthyl)propanoic acid [(S)-MβNP acid, (S)-2] and (R)-2 with (S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine [(S)-10]. The solution-phase structures of the MβNP amides, and their separation, was investigated by NMR spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The less-stereochemically demanding and longer 2-naphthyl group made the MβNP amide more flexible and less polar than the MαNP amide. Acid 2 was more efficient than acid 1 in separating amides 11 and 12. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011., 21 Jul. 2011, 13, 14, 4536, 4548, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c1ce05155e

Upon chelation of the oxygen atom, L forms a five-membered chelate ring with respect to the 2-aminoethyl ether moiety whereas L′ forms a six-membered chelate in 3-aminopropyl ether unit. This difference was highlighted by the crystal structures of ZnCl2 complexes, in which [Zn(L)Cl2] (1) exhibited ether oxygen coordination but [Zn(L′)Cl2] (2) had the ether oxygen non-coordinated. The terminal pyridyl group of LPy facilitates the ether oxygen atom coordination via a metal binding from the basal plane trans to the aliphatic nitrogen. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

In this study, three methoxy-substituted derivatives of 1-isoTQEN were synthesized and their fluorescent response toward zinc ion was studied. The substitution pattern of the methoxy group significantly changes the solubility of compounds in aqueous DMF, λmax in the absorption spectra, excitation/emission wavelengths and fluorescence intensity of zinc complexes. In the presence of zinc ion, 7-MeO-1-isoTQEN exhibits higher fluorescence intensity and longer excitation/emission wavelengths (λex = 342 nm, λem = 526 nm) than 6-MeO-1-isoTQEN (λex = 303 nm, λem = 469 nm) and 5,6,7-triMeO-1-isoTQEN (λex = 340 nm, λem = 504 nm). The fluorescence intensity of a zinc complex of 7-MeO-1-isoTQEN ( = 0.122) is four times higher than the parent 1-isoTQEN ( = 0.034) under the same conditions. The crystal structure of 7-MeO-1-isoTQEN-Zn complex reveals that all six nitrogen atoms participate to the metal coordination with ideal octahedral geometry, affording significantly high metal binding affinity comparable with TPEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine). 7-MeO-1-isoTQEN detects zinc ion concentration change in cells by fluorescence microscopic analysis. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry., Apr. 2011, 40, 16, 4059, 4066, Scientific journal, True, 10.1039/c0dt01617a

A clear structure-activity relationship between the size of the inhibition zone and the value of ClogP was found for 2. These results suggest that the higher the lipophilicity, the lower the antifungal activity. Thus, 2e (R = H) and 2h (R = F), which had ClogP values of 1.18 and 1.45, respectively, were most active. In contrast, 2b (R = Ph) and 2f (R = t-Bu) had ClogP values of 3.06 and 3.00, respectively, and exhibited no antifungal activity. Compound 6b ClBi[5-(OH)C 6H 3-2-SO 2-5′-(OH)C 6H 3-1'-] had an estimated ClogP value of 0.81 but exhibited only low activity in spite of its low ClogP value, suggesting that such a considerable decrease in lipophilicity lowers inhibition activity. Bismuth carboxylate 7b derived from p-nitrobenzoic acid and 2e exhibited inhibition activity comparable to those of 2e and 2h despite its higher lipophilicity (ClogP = 2.68). © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The crystal structures of (S)-2-methoxy-2-(9-phenanthryl)propanoic acid [(S)-M9PP acid, (S)-3] and a diastereomeric amide 6, prepared from (R)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid [(R)-MαNP acid, (R)-1] and (S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine [(S)-4], were determined by X-ray crystallography. Like those of M9PP and MαNP esters, the carbonyl and methoxy groups of (S)-3 exhibited syn conformation. The crystal structure of (S)-3 was stabilized by consecutive intermolecular OH⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxy groups. In addition, the 9-phenanthryl groups formed a herringbone structure via aromatic CH⋯ π interactions. The anti conformation of the carbonyl and methoxy groups was observed in the crystal of amide 6, indicating an NH⋯O hydrogen bond. The two 1-naphthyl groups were parallel to one another and located on the same side of the MαNP plane, forming a herringbone structure with adjacent molecules. NMR analyses suggest that, in solution, intramolecular aromatic CH⋯π interactions induce the 1-naphthyl groups to form a slant-parallel conformation. Namely, both the length and interactions between the substituents are important for crystallization. Normal-phase HPLC separation of diastereomeric amides is also discussed. © 2010 The Royal Society of Chemistry., Jul. 2010, 12, 7, 2261, 2268, Scientific journal, 10.1039/b926356j

- Refereed, European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Control of the aggregation properties of Tris(maltohexaose)-linked porphyrins with an alkyl chain, Yuji Mikata; Taichi Sawaguchi; Toyoji Kakuchi; Michael Gottschaldt; Ulrich S. Schubert; Hiromi Ohi; Shigenobu Yano, A series of porphyrins with three maltohexaose units and one alkyl chain (ethyl, butyl, hexyl, decyl, and hexadecyl) has been synthesized. Aggregation properties were investigated by absorbance and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. These trismaltohexaosylated tetraphenylporphyrins exhibited high water solubility. Although these porphyrins exhibited sharp Soret bands in DMSO solution, the Soret band broadened in a concentration-dependent manner in aqueous solution. This is the result of the aggregation of porphyrin molecules in aqueous solution. Interestingly, trismaltohexaosylated porphyrins with long alkyl chains of a certain length exhibited a broad. Soret band in water without concentration dependency due to the stability of such, aggregates. The CD spectra were silent in DMSO solution in all porphyrin derivatives, indicating that the maltohexaose moiety does not interact with the porphyrin chromophore in the monomelic state. However, in water, a splitting Cotton effect was observed at the Soret band. Intensity of this CD signal decreased as the length of the alkyl chain was extended. These observations show the formation of a chiral, face-to-face aggregate, in which the porphyrin rings are in close proximity to each other for short; alkyl chain derivatives. The porphyrin derivatives with long alkyl chains exhibit edge-to-edge aggregation, where hydrophobic interaction of the alkyl chains separates the porphyrin chromophores. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

60 fullerenes, Masanori Horie; Akiko Fukuhara; Yoshiro Saito; Yasukazu Yoshida; Hiroe Sato; Hiromi Ohi; Makoto Obata; Yuji Mikata; Shigenobu Yano; Etsuo Niki, The action of C60 fullerene and its derivatives as a radical-scavenging antioxidant has received much attention, but their reactivity toward free radicals and antioxidant capacity have not been well elucidated yet. In the present study, the reactivity of the two types of water-soluble, sugar-pendant C60 fullerenes, C60-1S and C60-2S, toward peroxyl radical and their effect against human plasma lipid peroxidation were measured. The rate constants for the reaction of C60-1S and C60-2S with peroxyl radicals were obtained from their effect on the bleaching of β-carotene in lipid-SDS micelle system as 4.6 × 103 and 8.0 × 103 M-1 s-1 at 37 °C, respectively. They inhibited the free radical-induced lipid peroxidation in human plasma in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that the sugar-pendant fullerenes C60-1S and C60-2S act as a radical-scavenging antioxidant with the activity similar to the phenolic antioxidants. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Conformational analysis of the C-glycosyl β2-peptides using NMR and CD spectra indicates that the tripeptide can form a helical secondary structure. Besides, helix directions of the C-glycosyl β/β2-peptides are governed by the configuration at the α-carbon of the peptide backbone that originates from the stereocenter of the C-glycosyl β2-amino acids. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Collins; Michael Gottschaldt; Shigenobu Yano, A general method has been developed for accumulation of a dinuclear ruthenium complex [Ru2(dhpta)(μ-O2CCH3)2]- (H5dhpta = 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxypropane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) on a gold surface. The accumulation using a ligand substitution reaction of bridging acetate in the complex by terminal benzoic acid in a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) with ω-mercaptoalkoxy benzoic acid (HOOC-C6H4-O-(CH2)n-SH) (n = 4, 6, 12) is undergone. The methyl benzoate-containing alkyl disulfides capable to form SAMs on gold electrode have been synthesized utilizing reductive dimerization of the corresponding alkyl thiocyanates with tetraphenylphosphonium tetrathiomolybdate. The methyl benzoate group in the SAM was converted into benzoic acid group by base hydrolysis, which was confirmed by surface-enhanced Raman scattering measurements for silver electrode. After the ligand substitution reactions to accumulate the complex on the gold electrode surface, in the case of n = 6 and n = 12, voltammetric waves for surface confined redox process, which corresponds to RuIIIRuIII/RuIIIRuII redox couple are observed, respectively, and these surfaces of gold electrodes are covered with the complex completely. The present ligand substitution reaction should be widely applicable for the accumulation of other complexes and useful for designing of functional electrodes. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

- Refereed, Dalton Transactions, Bisquinoline-based fluorescent zinc sensors, Yuji Mikata; Azusa Yamashita; Ayano Kawamura; Hideo Konno; Yuka Miyamoto; Satoshi Tamotsu, Several bisquinoline derivatives, N,N′-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)-N, N′-dialkylethylnediamines (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and t-butyl), have been synthesized and their fluorescent responses toward zinc ion were investigated. These compounds exhibit zinc ion-induced fluorescence and their intensities decrease as the alkyl groups become larger. The t-butyl derivative (BQDtBEN) exhibited negligible fluorescence even in the presence of zinc ion. The fluorescence intensity of the zinc complex of the bisquinoline derivative (BQDMEN) is higher than that of TQEN (N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2- quinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine), indicating that the TQEN-Zn complex has an intramolecular quenching mechanism due to the energy transfer among four quinoline rings and the remaining photoinduced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. Introduction of methoxy substituents into the quinoline ring shifted the excitation and emission wavelengths towards a lower-energy direction and increased the fluorescence intensity, which allows N,N′-bis(6-methoxy-2- quinolylmethyl)-N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine (6-MeOBQDMEN) to be used for cellular fluorescent microscopic analysis (λex = 331 nm, λem = 406 nm and = 0.28 for 6-MeOBQDMEN-Zn complex) © 2009 The Royal Society of Chemistry., 2009, 19, 3800, 3806, Scientific journal, 10.1039/b820763a
- Refereed, Dalton Transactions, Copper(ii) and zinc(ii) complexes with C-glycoside-pendant dipicolylamine (DPA)-amino acid conjugates, Yuji Mikata; Shoko Fujii; Masami Naemura; Kyoko Takahashi; Yuka Noguchi, A series of dipicolylamine (DPA)-functionalized amino acid ligands with a pendant C-glycosyl amide has been synthesized and complexed with Cu(ii) and Zn(ii). Amino acid derivatives equipped with a DPA unit were conjugated with C-glycosylamine prepared from acetobromoglucose in 4 steps. These ligands bind to metal ions as a N3 or N3O chelate utilizing three DPA nitrogens and carbamoyl oxygen atoms. In the crystal structures of copper(ii) and zinc(ii) complexes of AcL1 (2-(N′,N′-bis(2‴- pyridylmethyl)amino)-N-(2′-(2″,3″,4″, 6″-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)ethyl)acetamide, carbamoyl oxygen binds to the metal centre, however, NMR analysis reveals that AcL1 acts as a tridentate ligand in solution. The CD spectrum of the copper(ii) complex with glycine-based AcL1 at the d-d transition region indicates that the chirality at the sugar moiety does not induce an asymmetric metal coordination environment. In contrast, the chirality at the amino acid moiety for alanine and phenylalanine derivatives, AcL2 and AcL3, respectively, induces characteristic Cotton effect in the 500-800 nm region depending on the nature of the α-carbon substituent of the amino acid moiety. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2009., 2009, 46, 10305, 10310, Scientific journal, 10.1039/b915481g
- Refereed, Tetrahedron Asymmetry, Characteristic conformations and molecular packings in crystal structures of diastereomeric esters prepared from (S)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid, Akio Ichikawa; Hiroshi Ono; Yuji Mikata, The crystal structures of the diastereomeric esters prepared from (S)-2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propanoic acid [(S)-MαNP acid] and (R)-1-octen-3-ol or (S)-β-ionol were analyzed using X-ray crystallography. The conformation of the MαNP moiety determined from NMR analyses was observed in the crystals. In these esters, the larger, more hydrophobic alcohol substituents were coupled and matched in length with the 1-naphthyl groups. The intra- and intermolecular CH/π interactions bridged the larger alcohol substituents and the 1-naphthyl groups. These crystal structures suggest that the CH/π interaction is a key function of chiral resolving agents for enantioresolution. The twisted s-cis conformation was observed at the conjugated double bonds of the β-ionol ester. Thus, MαNP acid is useful in clarifying the stereochemistry and conformations of biofunctional molecules. Normal-phase HPLC separation of the diastereomeric MαNP esters is also discussed. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

- Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, Isoquinoline-based TQEN family as TPEN-derived fluorescent zinc sensors, Yuji Mikata; Azusa Yamanaka; Azusa Yamashita; Shigenobu Yano, The hexadentate nitrogen ligands 1-isoTQEN (N,N,N′,N′- tetrakis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine) and 3-isoTQEN (N,N,N′, N′-tetrakis(3-isoquinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine) have been prepared. The structures of these ligands are based on that of TPEN (N,N,N′,N′- tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine). The introduction of a benzene ring into TPEN affords fluorescence ability upon zinc-ion binding. Compared to the quinoline isomer TQEN, isoquinoline derivatives 1-isoTQEN and 3-isoTQEN exhibit a lower-energy shift in the excitation and emission wavelengths and an enhanced fluorescence intensity, probably because of the energy-transfer mechanism between adjacent isoquinoline rings. Importantly, an increase in the Zn 2+/Cd2+ discriminating ability and a reduction in the background fluorescence induced by pH were also achieved for isoquinoline derivatives. The zinc-ion-induced fluorescence of these isoTQENs was not quenched by an addition of TPEN, which demonstrates the significantly high zinc-ion binding ability of these isoTQEN ligands. © 2008 American Chemical Society., 18 Aug. 2008, 47, 16, 7295, 7301, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic8002614

Selective formation of a β-C-glycoside linkage was achieved by the reaction of a 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-a-D-gluco/galactopyranosyl bromide (α-acetobromo- glucose/galactose) with the carbanion of a cyanoacetate ester. Crystallization selectively afforded one of two diastereomers with respect to the chiral center at the α-carbon of the side chain (C-2), however, this compound was found to epimerize during the following nitrile reduction. Separation of the diastereomers was achieved via the Fmoc derivatives. Diastereomerically pure C-glycosyl β2,2-amino acids were prepared by diastereoselective alkylation of C-glycosylated enolate, followed by nitrile hydrogenation.

Czaplewska; Rika Tanaka; Isamu Kinoshita; Toshiyuki Kusumoto; Hideki Hashimoto; Masafumi Harada; Yuji Mikata; Takuzo Funabiki; Shigenobu Yano, Novel chelators, i.e., 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole derivatives, were synthesized by means of Cu(i)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and used to prepare luminescent Re(i) complexes [ReCl(CO)3(Bn-pyta)], [ReCl(CO)3(AcGlc-pyta)] and [ReCl(CO)3(Glc-pyta)] (Bn-pyta = 1-benzyl-4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole, AcGlc-pyta = 2-(4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3- triazol-1-yl)ethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, Glc-pyta = 2-(4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)ethyl β-d-glucopyranoside). X-Ray crystallography of Bn-pyta and Glc-pyta indicated an azocompound-like structure while the 1,2,4-triazole isomer has an azine character. [ReCl(CO) 3(Bn-pyta)] crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P21/n. Bn-pyta ligand coordinates with the nitrogen atoms of the 2-pyridyl group and the 3-position of 1,2,3-triazole ring, which is a very similar coordinating fashion to that of the 2,2′-bipyridine derivative. The glucoconjugated Re(i) complexes [ReCl(CO)3(AcGlc-pyta)] and [ReCl(CO)3(Glc-pyta)] hardly crystallized, and were analyzed by applying extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. The EXAFS analyses suggested that the glucoconjugation at the 1-position of the 1,2,3-triazole makes no influence to the coordinating fashion of 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole. [ReCl(CO)3(Bn-pyta)] showed a blue-shifted maximum absorption (333 nm, 3.97 × 103 M -1 cm-1) compared with [ReCl(CO)3(bpy)] (371 nm, 3.35 × 103 M-1 cm-1). These absorptions were clearly assigned to be the mixed metal-ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (MLLCT) on the basis of time-dependent density functional theory calculation. The luminescence spectrum of [ReCl(CO)3(Bn-pyta)] also showed this blue-shifted feature when compared with that of [ReCl(CO) 3(bpy)]. The luminescence lifetime of [ReCl(CO)3(Bn-pyta)] was determined to be 8.90 μs in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran at 77 K, which is longer than that of [ReCl(CO)3(bpy)] (3.17 μs). The blue-shifted electronic absorption and elongated luminescence lifetime of [ReCl(CO) 3(Bn-pyta)] suggested that 4-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,3-triazole functions as an electron-rich bidentate chelator. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2008., 2008, 25, 3292, 3300, Scientific journal, 10.1039/b718538c

- Refereed, Organometallics, Characterization of azulenylphosphine derivatives. Unexpected debromination and its synthetic utility in the preparation of 2-substituted azulene, A. F.M. Mustafizur Rahman; Toshihiro Murafuji; Toshihisa Shibasaki; Kouichi Suetake; Kei Kurotobi; Yoshikazu Sugihara; Nagao Azuma; Yuji Mikata, (1,3-Dihalo-2-azulenyl)diphenylphosphines 2 [halogen = Cl (a), Br (b)] and homologous bis(1,3-dihalo-2-azulenyl)phenylphosphines 4 have been synthesized, and the effect of the nonalternant azulenyl group on the reactivity and properties of these phosphines has been studied in comparison with that of the group IS congeners. The electronic structure of the nonalternant conjugation is dramatically affected by the change in the valency at the phosphorus. Thus, oxidation of 2 and 4 with hydrogen peroxide proceeded with a dramatic color change from green to blue, giving the corresponding phosphine oxides 3 and 5, respectively, in high yield. Similar color changes were observed when a solution of each phosphine, 2b and 4b, was left standing under ambient conditions, while 2a, 4a, and (2-azulenyl)diphenylphosphine (7) showed no such changes. (1-Bromo-2-azulenyl)diphenylphosphine oxide (9) was isolated from the solution of 2b. This unexpected reaction was found to occur via electrophilic substitution at the five-membered ring through protonation. The bismuth and antimony congeners of 2b showed no such reactivity, suggesting that the higher nucleophilicity of the phosphorus atom was the deciding factor. Such debromination of 2b may be ascribed to the steric congestion around the bromine atom, which is inferred from the X-ray crystallographic study. The unexpected reaction was successfully applied to a convenient synthesis of 2-substituted azulene using triphenylphosphine as a reagent for debromination. The 13C NMR study shows the enhanced π-polarization in the azulenyl group of the phosphine oxides compared to that of the parent phosphines, but the degree is not as marked as that observed in the bismuth and antimony systems. Comparison of the crystal structure of 3b with that of 9 with respect to the intermolecular interaction between the azulenyl groups showed that the slight structural change in the nonalternant azulenyl group brings about a dramatic change in the packing. Thus, 3b has head-to-tail π-π stacking, but 9 forms a mutual halogen-hydrogen interaction of the bromine atom with a hydrogen atom of its positively charged seven-membered ring. © 2007 American Chemical Society., 04 Jun. 2007, 26, 12, 2971, 2977, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om0607090

- Refereed, European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Control of intramolecular ether-oxygen coordination in the crystal structure of copper(II) complexes with dipicolylamine-based ligands, Yuji Mikata; Tomomi Fujimoto; Yuko Sugai; Shigenobu Yano, Thirteen crystal structures of copper(II) complexes with a series of dipicolylamine (DPA)-derived ligands, N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N,N-bis(2- pyridylmethyl)amine (L1), N-[2-(2-hydroxyethyloxy)ethyl]-N,N-bis(2- pyridylmethyl)amine (L2) and N-(3-methoxypropyl)-N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (L3), have been determined and the factors that control the coordination of the ether-oxygen atom of these ligands to the copper centre are discussed. Complexes that have +1 or +2 charges exhibit coordination of the ether-oxygen atom, whereas neutral complexes in which two anions are bound to the copper(II) centre tend to lose the oxygen coordination. Upon chelation of the oxygen atom, L3 forms a six-membered chelate ring with respect to the 3-aminopropyl ether moiety whereas L1 and L2 form a five-membered chelate. This difference, especially in the nitrate and bromide complexes, determines whether the ether-oxygen atom chelates to the metal centre to give a monocationic complex, or the second anion coordinates to the metal centre to form the ether-free, neutral complex. The terminal anchor hydroxy group of L2 facilitates the ether-oxygen coordination via a hydrogen bond interaction to the donor atom located trans to the aliphatic nitrogen atom in the basal plane. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

- Refereed, Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, Consideration of molecular arrangements in regio- and enantioselective reduction of an NAD model compound controlled by carbonyl oxygen orientation, Yuji Mikata; Shiho Aida; Yoko Inaba; Shigenobu Yano, The regio- and enantioselectivity of the reduction of an NAD model compound having axial chirality with respect to the C3(quinolinium)- C(carbonyl) bond, 3-piperidinylcarbonyl-1,2,4-trimethylquinolinium ion (1), by using several reducing agents is described. Reaction of 1 with sodium hydrosulfite affords the 1,4-reduced product, 3-piperidinylcarbonyl-1,2,4- trimethyl-1,4-dihydroquinoline (2), with low enantioselectivity, whereas sodium borohydride promotes 1,2-reduction, affording 3-piperidinylcarbonyl-1,2,4- trimethyl-1,2-dihydroquinoline (3) as the sole product in a moderate enantioselectivity. When 1 was reduced by the chiral NADH model compound, 2,4-dimethyl-3-(N-α-methylbenzylcarbamoyl)-1-propyl-1,4-dihydropyridine (Me2PNPH (4)), the regioselectivity and enantioselectivity of the reaction were significantly altered by the stereochemistry of 1 and 4. An achiral NADH model compound, 1-propyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (PNAH (5)) exhibited both high regio- and enantioselectivities. The product selectivity reflects the change in molecular arrangement in the transition state of the reaction and reveals the relative importance of the parameters governing the molecular arrangement in the reaction. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2007., 2007, 5, 23, 3834, 3841, Scientific journal, 10.1039/b710780c
- Refereed, Dalton Transactions, Asymmetric sulfur atom coordination in a copper(ii) dipicolylamine (DPA) complex with a thioglycoside ligand, Yuko Sugai; Shoko Fujii; Tomomi Fujimoto; Shigenobu Yano; Yuji Mikata, The 2,2′-dipicolylamine (DPA)-tethered thioglycoside ligand, N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-2-aminoethyl 1-deoxy-1-thio-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl- β-d-glucopyranoside (sL1), has been prepared and its copper(ii) complex synthesized. Using copper(ii) chloride, the copper complex was isolated as a chloride-bound species formulated as Cu(sL1)Cl(ClO
4 ) (1). The corresponding O-glycoside complex (Cu(L1)Cl(ClO4 ), 2) was also prepared using L1 (N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-2-aminoethyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl- β-d-glucopyranoside), and both complexes were characterized and compared by means of X-ray crystallography, cyclic voltammetry, electronic absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Although both complexes exhibited similar copper coordination geometries, the absolute configuration of the O/S chiral center generated by the copper coordination was inverted. The electronic and CD spectra of acetonitrile solutions of 1 and 2 were different likely due to the presence of a copper-sulfur charge-transfer band for 1. Complex 1 also exhibits a large Cotton effect around 700 nm. The corresponding d-d transition of the copper(ii) center reveals that the asymmetric copper-sulfur (oxygen) coordination remains even in solution. © The Royal Society of Chemistry., 2007, 33, 3705, 3709, Scientific journal, 10.1039/b706423c - Refereed, Dalton Transactions, Quinoline-based tetradendate nitrogen ligands stabilize the bis(-oxo) dinuclear manganese(iii,iii) core, Yuji Mikata; Haruka So; Azusa Yamashita; Ayano Kawamura; Masahiro Mikuriya; Kôichi Fukui; Akio Ichimura; Shigenobu Yano, Quinoline-based, tetradentate nitrogen ligands, N,N′-bis(2- quinolylmethyl)-N,N′-dialkyl-1,2-ethanediamine (alkyl = methyl, bqdmen; ethyl, bqdeen; isopropyl, bqdpen), have been investigated as the supporting ligands for the formation of bis(-oxo) dinuclear manganese complexes.

F.M.Mustafizur Rahman; Kouto Migita; Yoshikazu Sugihara; Yuji Mikata, Inhibitory activity of organobismuth compounds, triarylbismuthanes 1 and their dihalides 2 and 3, was examined against jack bean urease. Besides triarylbismuth dichlorides 2, triarylbismuth difluorides 3 and bismuthanes 1 exhibited the activity. Of all these compounds, triphenylbismuth difluoride 3a and tris(4-fluorophenyl)bismuth dichloride 2b showed the highest activity. These results indicate that generation of the inhibitory effect is not always governed by the Lewis acidity at the bismuth center. Such a tendency of inhibition by the organobismuth compounds is in good accord with that observed in the antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori, suggesting that H. pylori-produced urease may be a therapeutic target by bismuth-based drugs. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

- Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, Novel oxygen chirality induced by asymmetric coordination of an ether oxygen atom to a metal center in a series of sugar-pendant dipicolylamine copper(II) complexes, Yuji Mikata; Yuko Sugai; Makoto Obata; Masafumi Harada; Shigenobu Yano, Six sugar-pendant 2,2′-dipicolylamine (DPA) ligands (L1-3 and L′1-3) have been prepared. OH-protected and unprotected D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-xylose were attached to a DPA moiety via an O-glycoside linkage. X-ray crystallography of the copper(II) complexes (1-5) with these ligands revealed that the anomeric oxygen atom is coordinated to the metal center in the solid state, generating a chiral center at the oxygen atom. The CD spectra of these copper complexes in methanol or aqueous solution exhibit Cotton effects in the d-d transition region, which indicates that the ether oxygen atoms remain coordinated to the metal center and the oxygen-atom chirality is preserved even in solution. For complexes 1 and 2, the inverted oxygen-atom chirality and chelate-ring conformation in the solid state are well correlated with the mirror-image CD spectra in methanol solution. The concomitant inversion of the asymmetric configuration around the copper center was also observed in a methanol solution of complex 3 and a pyridine solution of complex 2. The square-pyramidal/octahedral copper(II) centers also exhibited characteristic absorption and CD spectra. © 2006 American Chemical Society., 20 Feb. 2006, 45, 4, 1543, 1551, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic051513f

Adam; Shigenobu Yano; Chris Orvig, Three discrete carbohydrate-appended 2,2′-dipicolylamine ligands were complexed to the {M(CO)3}+ (M = 99mTc/ Re) core: 2-(bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)amino)ethyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (L 1), 2-(bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)amino)ethyl-β-D-xylopyranoside (L2), and 2-(bis(2-pyridinylmethyl)amino)ethyl-α-D- mannopyranoside (L3). An ethylene spacer is used to separate the carbohydrate moiety and the dipicolylamine (DPA) function in all three ligands. The Re complexes [Re(L1-3)(CO)3]Br were characterized by 1H and 13C 1D/2D NMR spectroscopies, which confirmed the pendant nature of the carbohydrate moieties in solution. NMR measurements also established the long-range asymmetric effect of the carbohydrate functions on the chelating portion of the ligand. One analogue, [Re(L1)(CO) 3]Cl, was characterized in the solid state by X-ray crystallography. Further characterization was provided by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, conductivity, and mass spectrometry. Radiolabeling of L1-L 3 with [99mTc(H2O)3(CO) 3]+ afforded high yield compounds of identical character to the Re analogues.

- Refereed, Dalton Transactions, Tetrakis(2-quinolinylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TQEN) as a new fluorescent sensor for zinc, Yuji Mikata; Motoko Wakamatsu; Shigenobu Yano, A new fluorescent sensor for zinc that binds 1 equivalent of zinc ion, N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-ethylenediamine (TQEN), has been prepared and characterized. Zinc-bound TQEN exhibits fluorescence around 383 nm upon excitation at 317 nm, while free TQEN emits very weak fluorescence. UV-Vis and 1H NMR spectral changes also detected the binding of TQEN with zinc ion. The crystal structure of zinc complex with TQEN was determined by X-ray crystallography and compared with that of the TPEN-Zn complex (TPEN = N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine). The binding affinity of TQEN with zinc ion is very high (Kd < 1 μM in aqueous dmf solution). Competition experiments reveal that the zinc-binding affinity of TQEN is lower than the parent, strong metal ion chelator TPEN, and comparable to EGTA (EGTA = ethylene glycol-bis(2-aminomethyl)-N,N,N′, N′-tetraacetic acid)., 07 Feb. 2005, 3, 545, 550, Scientific journal, 10.1039/b411924j

All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, electron-spray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF MS), and UV-Vis spectroscopy. ESI-TOF MS could detect the 2H difference in molecular weight between a glycoconjugated chlorin and its corresponding porphyrin (i.e., 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3- or 4-(β-D-glycopyranosyloxy)phenyl]porphyrin). The cellular uptake of the eight chlorins was evaluated in HeLa cells. All glycoconjugated chlorins showed higher cellular uptake than tetraphenylporphyrin tetrasulfonic acid (TPPS), and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[3-(β-D-xylopyranosyloxy)phenyl]chlorin showed 50-fold higher uptake than TPPS.

The three-step preparation procedure involves (1) C-glycosylation of an OH-protected α-glycosyl halide with malononitrile, (2) catalytic hydrogenation of the nitriles to amines, and (3) deprotection of acetyl groups via acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. In the case of the galactose derivative, excess sodiomalononitrile promotes the second addition of a carbanion in the first step.

The biological activity of these metal complexes was also investigated. Antifungal nickel(II) complexes derived from amino sugars, and unprecedented sugar-dependent in vivo antitumor activity of carbohydrate-pendant cis-platinum(II) complexes are described in this article. These results suggested that the stereostructure and bioactivity of the sugar-metal complexes can be modified by varying amines and metal ions, and sugar molecules used., Oct. 2002, 75, 10, 2097, 2113, Scientific journal, 10.1246/bcsj.75.2097
- Refereed, Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, Testis-specific HMG-domain protein alters the responses of cells to cisplatin, Deborah B. Zamble; Yuji Mikata; Christina H. Eng; Karen E. Sandman; Stephen J. Lippard, Cisplatin is an effective agent for the treatment of testicular cancer. In the present study with mouse testicular teratocarcinoma cell extracts, we observed a deficiency in nucleotide excision repair (NER) of a DNA probe bearing a cisplatin 1,2-d(GpG) intrastrand cross-link. In contrast, repair of the cisplatin 1,3-d(GpTpG) intrastrand cross-link was still active in these cell extracts. A current working hypothesis is that complexes of HMG-domain proteins with the major cisplatin 1,2-intrastrand cross-links could enhance cisplatin cytotoxicity by blocking repair of these lesions on the genome. The family of HMG-domain proteins include a testis-specific protein, tsHMG, which might account for the altered NER in testicular cells. To test this possibility, a human cervical carcinoma cell line (HeLa) was constructed which ectopically expressed tsHMG under the control of an inducible promoter. Microscopic examination of tsHMG expression and cisplatin-induced apoptosis on a cellular level revealed that the nuclear protein did indeed modulate the cytotoxic consequences of cisplatin treatment. Also, tsHMG enhanced transcription inhibition by cisplatin. These results reveal that an HMG-domain protein can affect cellular responses to cisplatin and may be relevant to the clinical observation that cancer cells in specific tissues are particularly sensitive to cisplatin. © 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

- Refereed, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Kinetic Studies of the TATA-binding Protein Interaction with Cisplatin-modified DNA, Yongwon Jung; Yuji Mikata; Stephen J. Lippard, The TATA-binding protein (TBP) recognizes the TATA box element of transcriptional promoters and recruits other initiation factors. This essential protein binds selectively to cisplatin-damaged DNA. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were performed to study the kinetics of TBP binding both to the TATA box and to cisplatin-damaged DNA in different sequence contexts. TBP binds with high affinity (Kd = 0.3 nM) to DNA containing site-specific cisplatin 1,2-intrastrand d(GpG) cross-links. The kon and k off values for the formation of these TBP complexes are 1-3 × 105 m-1 s-1 and ∼1-5 × 10-4 S-1, respectively, similar to the corresponding values for the formation of a TBP-TATA box complex. In electrophoretic mobility shift assay competition assays, cisplatin-damaged DNA extensively sequesters TBP from its natural binding site, the TATA box. Nine DNA probes were prepared to determine the flanking sequence dependence of TBP binding to cisplatin-modified DNA. TBP clearly displays sequence context selectivity for platinated DNA, very similar to but not as dramatic as that of the high mobility group protein HMGB1. When TBP was added to an in vitro nucleotide excision repair assay, it specifically shielded cisplatin-modified 1,2-(GpG) intrastrand cross-links from repair. These results indicate that TBP is likely to be a key protein in mediating the cytotoxicity of cisplatin., 23 Nov. 2001, 276, 47, 43589, 43596, Scientific journal, 10.1074/jbc.M108299200

- Refereed, Biochemistry, Laser-induced photo-cross-linking of cisplatin-modified DNA to HMG-domain proteins, Y. Mikata; Q. He; S. J. Lippard, Laser-induced photo-cross-linking was investigated for DNA, modified with cisplatin at specific sites, bound to structure-specific recognition domains of proteins in the high-mobility group (HMG) class. The efficiency of photo-cross-linking depends on the wavelength and power of the laser, the nature of the protein domain, and the oligodeoxyribonucleotide sequences flanking the platinated site. Introduction of 5-iodouridine at thymine sites of the oligodeoxyribonucleotide as an additional photoreactive group did not increase the photo-cross-linking yield. Formation of platinum-mediated DNA - DNA interstrand cross-linking observed previously upon irradiation with 302 nm light [Kane, S. A., and Lippard, S. J. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 2180-2188] was significantly reduced with laser irradiation. HMG1 domain B is superior to domain A for platinum-mediated photo-cross-linking, a result attributed to the different positioning of the proteins with respect to the platinum adduct and the greater ability of domain B to access photolabilized platinum in the major groove. Studies with proteins containing specifically mutated amino acids, and with DNA probes in which the sequences flanking the platinum cross-link site were varied, suggest that the most effective photo-cross-linking occurs for protein domains bound symmetrically and flexibly to cisplatin-modified DNA. The thermodynamic equilibrium between the protein-platinated DNA complex and its components, revealed in gel electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs), is significantly shifted to the right upon irreversible photo-cross-linking. Thus, only upon photo-cross-linking can the interaction of cisplatin - DNA 1,3-intrastrand d(GpTpG) or interstrand cross-links with HMG1 domain B protein be detected. Photo-cross-linking is thus an effective tool for investigating the interaction of cisplatin-modified DNA with damage-recognition proteins under heterogeneous conditions such those in cell extracts or living cells., 26 Jun. 2001, 40, 25, 7533, 7541, Scientific journal

Yano, A set of 1,3-propanediamine derivatives connected to carbohydrates (5) has been prepared in four steps from peracetylated sugar and 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol in 60-73% yields. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, D-xylose, D-ribose, and maltose are utilized as sugar molecules in this work. The diamine moiety was connected to the C1 carbon of the glycopyranose ring via an O-glycoside bond. All of the anomeric configurations and sugar puckering conformations, except in the D-maltose derivative, were determined by X-ray crystallography of the diazido or dibromo precursors. While glycosidation of peracetylated galactopyranose with 1,3-dibromo-2-propanol in the presence of boron trifluoride afforded both anomers, the neighboring group participation of the 2-acetoxy group yielded a single anomer for the other substrates. This method has been used to synthesize a library of sugar-pendant diamines including an OH-protected derivative (6), and an N,N′-diisopropyl-substituted derivative (7). A similar series of reactions using 2,3-dibromo-1-propanol gave ethylenediamine-type derivatives (11), and bis(bromomethyl)bis(hydroxymethyl)methane (12) gave bisglucose-pendant derivatives (16)., 01 Jun. 2001, 66, 11, 3783, 3789, Scientific journal, 10.1021/jo001702+

Yamazaki; A. Ohno, Precursors of NAD model compounds 1c and 3a,b were successfully resolved into their atropisomers with respect to carbamoyl rotation. Atropisomers of quinoline derivatives are much more stable than pyridine derivatives as determined by cyclic voltammetry and X-ray crystallography. The 1,4-reduction of NAD model compound 4 was successfully achieved, affording novel NADH model compound 5. The rotational properties of the side chain of 5 were investigated by means of dynamic NMR. The rotational rate and syn/anti ratio, which indicate the orientation between carbonyl oxygen and hydrogen at the 4-position, are significantly affected by addition of magnesium ion. In the rotational transition state, the double-bond character of the Ccarbonyl-Namide bend is disrupted judging from the activation parameters. The oxidation of chiral 5 with p-benzoquinone in the presence of magnesium ion catalyst gave predominantly one enantiomer of 4. On the other hand, oxidation of 5 with p-chloranil (tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone) in the absence of magnesium ions affords the opposite enantiomer of 4 as the major product. The product enantiomer ratio is parallel to the syn/anti ratio in the starting material, indicating the importance of ground state conformation to stereochemistry of the reaction., 09 Mar. 2001, 66, 5, 1590, 1599, Scientific journal, 10.1021/jo000829w

Inversion of the configuration by aryl-Grignard reagents, Toshihiro Murafuji; Izumi Makabe; Kazuyoshi Nishio; Yoshikazu Sugihara; Yuji Mikata; Shigenobu Yano, Optically pure diastereomeric iodobismuthanes 3a and 3b underwent the substitution at the chiral bismuth center by 4-methylphenyl- and 4-chlorophenylmagnesium bromide to give bismuthane 4a and 4b as a single diastereomer, respectively. Each reaction was highly stereoselective. Comparison of 4a with 4b by 1H-NMR spectrum revealed that the chemical shifts of the aromatic ring protons are quite different from each other due to the anisotropic effect of the ferrocenyl group, which reflects the difference of the configuration around the chiral bismuth center. The differential 1H-NMR NOE experiments of 4a and 4b provided a critical evidence for the configuration in each compound. The X-ray crystallographic study of 4 demonstrated that the substitution proceeds with inversion of the configuration at the chiral bismuth center. © 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.

- Refereed, Biochemistry, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, HMG-domain protein recognition of cisplatin 1,2-intrastrand d(GpG) cross-links in purine-rich sequence contexts, S. M. Cohen; Y. Mikata; Q. He; S. J. Lippard, HMG-domain proteins bind strongly to bent DNA structures, including cruciform and cisplatin-modified duplexes. Such protein-platinated DNA complexes, formed where the DNA is modified by the active cis but not the inactive trans isomer of diamminedichloroplatinum(II), are implicated in the cytotoxic mechanism of the drug. A series of oligonucleotide duplexes with deoxyguanosine nucleosides flanking a cis-[Pt(NH3)2{d(GpG)-N7(1),-N7(2)}] cross-link have been synthesized. These probes were used to determine the flanking sequence dependence of the affinity of the individual HMG domains of HMG1 toward cisplatin-modified DNA. Nine related sequences, where N1 and N2 are not dG and G*G* is the 1,2-intrastrand cisplatin adduct in N1G*G*N2, were previously investigated [Dunham, S. U., and Lippard, S. J. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 11428-11436]. Three of the seven remaining possible sequences for which N1 and/or N2 was dG were prepared here by using normal deoxyguanosine, but the rest, where N1 is dG and N2 is dA, dC, T, or dG, could not be isolated in pure form. These sequences were accessed by using the synthetic bases 7-deazaadenine and 7-deazaguanine, which lack the nucleophilic N7 atom in the purine ring. Deaza nucleotides accurately mimic the properties of the natural bases, allowing the interaction of the HMG-domain proteins with cisplatin-modified DNA to be examined. These experiments reveal that the flexibility of A·T versus G·C flanking base pairs, rather than base-specific contacts, determines HMG1domA protein selectivity. This conclusion was supported by use of mutant HMG1domA and HMG1domB proteins, which exhibit identical flanking sequence selectivity. The methods and results obtained here not only improve our understanding of how proteins might mediate cisplatin genotoxicity but also should apply more generally in the investigation of how other proteins interact with damaged DNA., 26 Sep. 2000, 39, 38, 11771, 11776, Scientific journal, 10.1021/bi001352l

The two acidity constants of each of the three sugar-diamines differ by 10(1.65) to 10(3.09), indicating that removal of the proton from HL+ species is more difficult than deprotonation from the fully protonated dication H2L2+.

The strength of the hydrogen bond and the degree of its formation (percentage) were estimated. The sugar ring has only a small influence on the intramolecular hydrogen bond formation. For the different metal ion-ligand systems, the predominating species in solution are quite different. In the Cu2+-1-beta-D-Glc-pn system, the dominant species are always CuL2+ and CuL22+ in the pH range 4 to 10, where the total ligand concentration is larger than total metal ion concentration.

This interesting phenomenon has been interpreted in terms of the difference in stability between the two conformations with reference to the carbonyl rotation in the transition state. From the results of kinetic studies, the earliness/lateness of the transition state determines the product ratio. The energy difference between the two conformations in the transition state has been estimated from the temperature dependence of the product ratio. A conformational analysis of 1, the ground state, was performed using dynamic NMR. The contribution of the ground state conformation and the role of magnesium ion, which is used as a catalyst, are discussed., 1999, 20, 207, 226

- Refereed, Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, Purification and Characterization of D-Glucosaminitol Dehydrogenase from Agrobacteriu, Ryoko Iwamoto; Chieko Sakamoto; Keiko Tamura; Yuji Mikata; Mieko Tanaka, D-Glucosaminitol dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of D-glucosaminitol to 3-keto-D-glucosaminitol, was purified to apparent homogeneity from extracts of Agrobacterium radiobacter. This organism has constitutively depressed levels of the enzyme but expression of the enzyme is induced by addition of D-glucosamine to the medium. Purification included ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on columns of DEAE-Sephacel, Octyl-Sepharose CL-4B, and Cellulofine. The purified enzyme migrated as a single band, coinciding with dehydrogenase activities specific for D-glucosaminitol and ethanol, when electrophoresed on a 7.5% polyacrylamide gel at pH 8.0. Electrophoresis on a 12.5% PAGE in the presence of 1% SDS also yielded a single band. The enzyme had an apparent molecular mass of 79 kDa, as measured by the pattern of elution from a column of Cellulofine. The results indicated that the enzyme was a dimer of identical (or nearly identical) subunits of 39.5 kDa. D-Glucosaminitol dehydrogenase required NAD+as a cofactor and used ethanol as the preferred substrate, as well as aliphatic alcohols with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, D-glucosaminitol, D-glucosaminate, DL-allothreonine, glycerol, and erythritol as additional substrates. In 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 9.0) at 25°C, the Kmfor D-glucosaminitol, ethanol, and NAD+were 2.2, 2.0, and 0.08 mM, respectively. The enzyme had a pH optimum of 10 for D-glucosaminitol and 8.5 for ethanol. The enzyme lost substantial activity when treated with pyrazole, with certain reagents that react with sul- fhydryl groups and with Zn2+ion. The various results together suggest that the enzyme exploits different amino acid residues for the dehydrogenation of ethanol and of D-glucosaminitol. © 1999, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

The structure of 1 was determined by X-ray crystallography (triclinic, space group P1̄ with a = 15.007(6), b = 15.597(4), c = 10.398(3) Å, α = 98.51(3)°, β = 96.79(3)°, β =114.61(2)°, γ = 4, R = 0.053, Rw = 0.063). The antitumor activity of the platinum complexes was investigated against the HeLa cell. Compound 3 was the most cytotoxic among the complexes synthesized here and was more effective than cisplatin. It was suggested from microscopic analysis that the acridine complex 1, which had no cytotoxicity against the HeLa cell, was not incorporated in the nucleus of the cell. Against the P388 cell, however, complex 1 gave a more therapeutic result than 3. The covalent binding ability of the cisplatin moiety was suppressed significantly in these compounds. The results of molecular mechanics showed that intercalation and covalent binding could be compatible. The cytotoxicity and DNA binding ability of phenylquinoline-type ligands were also studied to evaluate the intrinsic cytotoxicity of the intercalator. From the duplex DNA denaturation experiment and fluorescent ethidium displacement assay, the DNA binding affinities of the ligands are in agreement with the cytotoxicity of these compounds and the corresponding platinum complexes. © 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.

The structure of the benzoate-bridged complex 4·0.5MeOH·0.5EtOH·4H2O was elucidated by X-ray crystallography. The Ru ⋯ Ru distance was 3.416 Å (average for two crystallographically independent molecules), comparable to those of (μ-alkoxo)bis(μ-carboxylato)diruthenium complexes. The magnetic properties were analysed by a general isotropic exchange Hamiltonian H = -2JS1·S2 (S1, = S2 = 1/2), yielding meaningfully large antiferromagnetic spin coupling constants (-J = 728 and 649 cm-1 for 1 and 2, respectively). The cyclic voltammogram of 4 in dmf demonstrated two reduction and one oxidation wave corresponding to the four redox states RuII2, RuIIRuIII, RuIII2,RuIIIRuIV. The intervalence coupling constant KC estimated from the potential gap between RuII2/RuIIRuIII and RuIIRuIII/RuIII2 indicated that the introduction of the μ-aryloxo bridge stabilizes the RuIIRuIII mixed-valence species., 21 Jun. 1998, 1998, 12, 1969, 1972, Scientific journal, 10.1039/a800857d

These hybrid molecules show similar redox properties to those of 6-nitro-5- deazaflavins with no pyrrolecarboxamide(s) group, suggesting that they generate stable one- and two-electron reduction product(s). Electrolytic reductions of the hybrid molecules were carried out at a controlled potential under anaerobic conditions in the presence of plasmid pBR322 DNA. Significant conversions of the supercoiled circular pBR322 DNA (form I) to the open circular DNA (form II) have been found by treatment with the reductively activated 6-nitro-5-deazaflavin derivatives. Their DNA damaging effects have been found to be enhanced as the number of pyrrolecarboxamide group as the DNA binder increases. Antitumor activities of the hybrid molecules towards KB and L1210 cells were evaluated in vitro. It has been found that the antitumor effects of the compounds on KB cells slightly change and those on L1210 cells decrease as the number of the pyrrolecarboxamide group increases. These results reveal that the combination of 6-nitro-5-deazaflavin molecule with the pyrrolecarboxamide(s) group increase the DNA binding properties of the compounds, giving rise to promoted DNA damaging effects, and also suggest that the combination would affect the capacity of the compounds to act as the substrate for intracellular reductases and/or the cellular uptake of the compounds., Mar. 1998, 6, 3, 301, 314, Scientific journal, 10.1016/S0968-0896(97)10036-0

In the oxidation of 3-(N-methyl-AT-α-methylbenzylcarbarnoyl)-1,2,4-trimethyl-1,4- dihydroquinoline(Me3MQPH), the stereochemistry of the product, 3-(N-methylAT-α-methylbenzylcarbamoyl)-1, 2, 4-trimethylquinolinium ion(Me3MQP+), is influenced largely by the reactivity of the reagent employed (oxidation potential of the quinone or pKa of the amine). This interesting phenomenon has been interpreted in terms of the differences in stabilities of the two conformations concerning to the carbonyl rotation at the transition-state. The energy difference between the two conformations at the transition-state has been estimated from the temperature dependency of the product ratio. We also studied the conformational analysis of Me3MQPH, the ground -state itself, by means of the dynamic NMR technique.

Nonsteric Stereochemistry in Hydride-Transfer to Sulfinylpyridinium Ion, Atsuyoshi Ohno; Norimasa Yamazaki; Mutsuo Okamura; Yasushi Kawai; Akihiro Tsutsumi; Yuji Mikata; Masayuki Fujii, The molecular structure of an enantiomer of nicotinamide coenzyme analog 1 has been determined by X-ray crystallography with the absolute configuration being established by the anomalous dispersion effects of all non-hydrogen atoms: (+)-1 exhibits (S)-form sticking the sulfinyl S-O out of the re face. The stereochemistry of the hydride-transfer reaction between the chiral coenzyme analogs, 1 and MenPNPH, was studied. The hydride from (S)- or (R)-MenPNPH, respectively, transfers to (S)- or (R)-1, affording the dihydropyridine compound syn-2 predominantly: That is, the reaction takes place in the face occupied by the sulfinyl oxygen. On the other hand, the transfer to (R)- or (S)-1 mainly takes place so as to afford anti-2. It has been deduced that (S)-1 reacts with (S)-MenPNPH more than twice as fast as (R)-1 does or vice versa. It has also been elucidated that the amide oxygen in MenPNPH points to 1 exclusively at the transition state of the reaction, regardless the configuration of the reagents. The intermolecular arrangement at the transition state of the reaction is discussed., Apr. 1996, 69, 4, 1093, 1098, Scientific journal, 10.1246/bcsj.69.1093
- Refereed, Nucleic Acids Research, A possible origin of newly-born bacterial genes: Significance of GC-rich nonstop frame on antisense strand, Kenji Ikehara; Fumiko Amada; Shigeko Yoshida; Yuji Mikata; Akira Tanaka, Base compositions were examined at every position in codons of more than 50 genes from taxonomically different bacteria and of the corresponding antisense sequences on the bacterial genes. We propose that the nonstop frame on antisense strand [NSF(a)] of GC-rich bacterial genes is the most promising sequence for newly-born genes. Reasons are: (i) NSF(a) frequently appears on the antisense strand of GC-rich bacterial genes; (ii) base compositions at three positions in the codon are nearly symmetrical between the gene having around 55% GC content and the corresponding NSF(a); (iii) amino acid compositions of actual proteins are also similar to those of hypothetical proteins from the GC-rich NSF(a); and (iv) proteins from NSF(a) of 60% or more GC content are flexible enough to adapt to various molecules encountered as novel substrates, due to the high glycine content. To support our proposition, using a computer we generated hypothetical antisense sequences with the same base compositions as of NSF(a) at each base position in the codon, and examined properties of resulting proteins encoded by the imaginary genes, It was confirmed that NSF(a) of CC-rich gene carrying about 60% GC content is competent enough for a newly-born gene., 1996, 24, 21, 4249, 4255, Scientific journal, 10.1093/nar/24.21.4249

It has been found that the nitro 5-deazaflavins undergo one electron reduction on the nitro group and undergo two electrons or "(net) hydride" reduction on the C(5)-C(4a)-C(10a)-N(1) redox system. They showed much more potent antitumor activities than the other 5-deazaflavins bearing no nitro group.

In contrast, 7-nitro and 9-nitro derivatives showed no significant hypoxic selectivity. Electrochemical study using cyclic voltammetry (CV) revealed that 6-nitro and 8-nitro derivatives generate a stable two electrons reduction product as well as a stable one electron reduction product and that 7-nitro and 9-nitro derivatives afford an unstable one electron reduction product. These results strongly support that not solely electron affinity but also stability of the one electron reduction products is crucial for the differential hypoxic cytotoxicities of nitro 5-deazaflavins. © 1995., 21 Sep. 1995, 5, 18, 2115, 2118, Scientific journal, 10.1016/0960-894X(95)00352-T

Stereochemistry controlled by the electronic effect from a sulfinyl group, Atsuyoshi Ohno; Norimasa Yamazaki; Akihiro Tsutsumi; Yuji Mikata; Mutsuo Okamura, 2,3‐Dihydro‐2,2,4‐trimethylthieno[3,2‐b]pyridinium 1‐oxide iodide (1) has been reacted with various inorganic and organic hydride donors. It has been found that the stereochemistry of reaction is controlled by the orientation of the sulfinyl dipole, and the relative bulkiness of substituents plays no role in determining the reaction face: a reactive hydride donor prefers to attack at the anti‐face with respect to the sulfinyl dipole, whereas a less reactive hydride donor prefers to attack at the syn‐face.

Molecular Asymmetry with a Carbonyl Group: Electronically Controlled Stereochemistry in the Reaction of NAD(P)+/NAD(P)H Analogs, Atsuyoshi Ohno; Akihiro Tsutsumi; Yasushi Kawai; Norimasa Yamazaki; Yuji Mikata; Mutsuo Okamura, The N-methylpyridiniumsalt of 6,7-dihydro-6-methyl-5-oxopyridino[3,2-d]-2-benzazepin has been synthesized. The salt has axial chirality with respect to the orientation of the carbonyl dipole. An enantiomer of the cation has been obtained as the iodide salt. Reduction of the salt results in the corresponding dihydropyridine derivative stereospecifically. The stereochemistry of the reduction is controlled entirely by the electronic effect of the carbonyl dipole. © 1994, American Chemical Society.

TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT STEREOSPECIFICITY IN THE INTERCONVERSION BETWEEN CENTRAL AND AXIAL CHIRALITIES, M OKAMURA; Y MIKATA; N YAMAZAKI; A TSUTSUMI; A OHNO, In the oxidation of (4R)-Me3MQPH or (4R)-Me3PNPH with a series of 1,4-benzoquinone and its derivatives, the R/S ratio with respect to the axial chirality in the product, i.e., 11R-/11S- isomer ratio in Me3MQP+ or 7R-/7S- isomer ratio in Me3PNP+, changes depending on the reaction temperature as well as the reactivity of quinone. It is confirmed that kinetic R-preference stems from the entropy-control, whereas kinetic S-preference comes out of the enthalpy-control. The relative importance of enthalpy and entropy is discussed in terms of the earliness and lateness of the transition state at the initial electron-transfer step., Apr. 1993, 66, 4, 1191, 1196, Scientific journal

Four different NAD(P)H analogs have been oxidized by various substituted and unsubstituted 1,4-benzoquinones in the presence or absence of magnesium ion.

Kinetics have been studied for the reactions of three NAD(P)H analogs and their 4-deuteriated compounds with 2,6-dichloro- and tetrachloro-l,4-benzoquinones. It has been elucidated that the entropy term occupies 50-90% of the Gibbs energy of activation at 298 K. Thus, the reaction is almost entropy-controlled. For certain combinations of the reducing and oxidizing reagents, quantum mechanical tunneling effect plays a large role to determine the reaction rate. The tunneling effect may be another measure of the stereochemistry., Jan. 1991, 64, 1, 87, 90, Scientific journal, 10.1246/bcsj.64.87

However, the reaction under high pressure(1.1 GPa) gave the expected cycloadducts, dialkyl 3-acetoxy-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,2-dicarboxylates 2. The bis-, tris-, and tetrakisadducts 3-6 were also produced insome amounts. Similar high-pressure reactions in the presence of zinc iodide as a catal st yielded dialkyl2-furfurylidenemalonate 8, and noneof the adducts were obtained. © 1988, American Chemical Society.

Burdette, Fluorescence detection of Zn and Cd is of continuing interest due to their significant importance in biological and environmental sciences. Strict discrimination of Zn and Cd by fluorescent probe molecules has still been a challenging task because of the small difference in ionic radii of these group 12 metal ions. In this study, three heptadentate fluorescent probes with a common 2,6-lutidylenediamine core and four quinoline/isoquinoline sidearms are presented. The N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-quinolylmethyl)-2,6-lutidylenediamine (TQLN) exhibits Zn -specific fluorescence enhancement via an excimer formation, while the N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(1-isoquinolylmethyl)-2,6-lutidylenediamine (1-isoTQLN) responds specifically to Cd at the short wavelength region by monomer emission. The N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(3-isoquinolylmethyl)-2,6-lutidylenediamine (3-isoTQLN) responds to both Zn and Cd at different emission wavelengths, acting as a dual sensor with hybrid properties of TQLN and 1-isoTQLN. Methoxy-substituted derivatives of 1- and 3-isoTQLN were also examined. 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+ 2+, 2021, 2021, 13, 1287, 1296, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.202001171

Circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis of this reaction allows monitoring of the structual changes of possible catalyst precursors in the solution state and shows characteristic temperature and solvent dependence.

The reaction of 2-(1-phenylvinyl)benzaldehyde with malonates gave benzylidene malonates, cyclized indenes, and dehydrogenated benzofulvenes. The product selectivity depends on the reaction conditions. The reaction with piperidine, AcOH in benzene at 80 °C for 1.5 h gave a benzylidene malonate in 75% yield as a major product. The reactions with piperidine, AcOH in benzene at 80 °C for 17 h and with TiCl4-pyridine at room temperature gave an indene derivative in 56 and 79% yields, respectively, as a major product. The reaction with TiCl4-Et3N gave a benzofulvene in 40% yield selectively. Indene was transformed to a benzofulvene derivative using the reagents TiCl4-Et3N and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ). The reaction of variously substituted aryl derivatives with dimethyl malonate gave indene and benzofulvene derivatives. The reactions of 2-(1-phenylvinyl)benzaldehyde with Meldrum's acid or malononitrile also gave cyclized compounds in the suitable sequential or stepwise conditions. Furthermore, the reaction of 2-arylbenzaldehydes has been investigated. The limitation and scope have been described.

Nevertheless, the introduction of three methoxy substituents at the 5,6,7-position of both quinoline rings of BQDMEN reversed the fluorescent metal ion selectivity to favor Cd2+ (IZn/ICd = 0.22 for TriMeOBQDMEN in the presence of 1 equiv. of metal ion). This reversal of Zn2+/Cd2+ preference in fluorescence enhancement by trimethoxy substitution was also valid for 1,3-propanediamine derivatives. The X-ray crystallography, ESI-MS, fluorescence lifetime and pH profile of the fluorescence intensity suggest that the dinuclear cadmium complex is a key component of the fluorescent Cd2+ selectivity in TriMeOBQDMEN., 2023, 52, 7411, 7420, Scientific journal, 10.1039/d3dt00597f

In this paper, bisquinoline-based fluorescent sensors with a 2-aminoethanol backbone were investigated. The weak coordination ability of quinoline compared to well-studied pyridine is suitable for Cd2+ selectivity rather than Zn2+. In the presence of 3 equiv. of metal ions, TriMeO-N,O-BQMAE (N,O-bis(5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-2-methylaminoethanol (3)), as well as its N,N-isomer TriMeO-N,N-BQMAE (N,N-bis(5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-2-methoxyethylamine (6)), exhibits Cd2+-selective fluorescence enhancement over Zn2+ in DMF-HEPES buffer (1:1, 50 mM HEPES, 0.1 M KCl, pH = 7.5) (IZn/ICd = 26–34%), which has similar selectivity in comparison to the corresponding ethylenediamine derivative TriMeOBQDMEN (N,N’-bis(5,6,7-trimethoxy-2-quinolylmethyl)-N,N’-dimethylethylenediamine) under the same experimental condition (IZn/ICd = 24%). The fluorescence mechanisms of N,O- and N,N-isomers of BQMAE are quite different, judging from the fluorescence lifetimes of their metal complexes. The Cd2+ complex with TriMeO-N,O-BQMAE (3) exhibits a long fluorescence lifetime similar to that of TriMeOBQDMEN via intramolecular excimer emission, whereas the Cd2+ complex with TriMeO-N,N-BQMAE (6) exhibits a short lifetime from monomer emission., 11 Jan. 2024, 29, 2, 369, 369, Scientific journal, 10.3390/molecules29020369

We report a breakthrough in the reliable synthesis of 4,4′-biazulene, which is achieved by the access to azulen-4-ylboronic acid pinacol ester and 4-iodoazulene as novel key synthetic intermediates for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. The X-ray crystallographic analysis of 4,4′-biazulene confirmed its axial chirality. The enantiomers of 4,4′-biazulene were successfully resolved by HPLC on the chiral stationary phase column.

For Neolithic animal bones, we identified animal species of bones and teeth by mass spectrometric amino acid sequencing of collagen. The animal species thus identified include cattle, deer, sheep, and goat. For the majority of Paleolithic animal teeth, however, there still remained ambiguity in the identity of species resulting from mass spectrometry because collagen was degraded so seriously that the quantity and number of peptide fragments obtained for the analysis were insufficiently small. To clarify the effect of such a long-term aging, we also investigated the degradation process of amino acids in proteins. One of the most interesting findings in our study is that the stability of triple-helical structure is particularly important for the longevity of type I collagen., kaken

By changing the linker length, nature and number of coordination atoms in the linker and substituents of the quinoline ring, as well as the replacement of quinoline with isoquinoline, we could improve the selectivity toward specific metal ions and anions. We also clarified the mechanism of specificity by X-ray crystallography and theoretical calculations., kaken
- Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2006, 2007, 18550059, Stabilization of "Asymmetric Oxygen" derived from Metal-Coordinated Oxygen Atom, MIKATA Yuji, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Nara Women's University, 4240000, 3700000, 540000, It is well known that a nitrogen lone pair inverts via pyramidal inversion, causing expeditious loss of chirality at a stereogenic nitrogen center. But metal-coordinated nitrogen atoms have been demonstrated as an asymmetric nitrogen. Similarly, it is possible that the oxygen atom of a unsymmetrical ether can become a chiral center when coordinated to a metal ion. In this case also, the chirality is extremely unstable due to the rapid inversion of the remaining oxygen lone pair. Preventing lone pair inversion by metal ion coordination is a potential route to compounds exhibiting a chiral oxygen atom. Strong coordination of the metal ion to the ether oxygen atom may lead to the necessary differentiation of the two oxygen lone pairs. Careful ligand design is needed in any effort to isolate a compound with a metal-bound asymmetric oxygen atom. In this project, controlling factors for the assembly of asymmetric oxygen atoms are discussed, including the effect of ligand structure, counterion, and solvent in a series of dipicolylamine-copper (II) complexes, kaken

To keep the beautiful natural environment, chemists should play an important role in much respect. From this viewpoint, we have hold a great interest in green chemistry (=we call green earth chemistry) over the past years and studied the following topics on the basis of coordination chemistry. A set of 1,3-propanediamine derivatives connected to carbohydrates has been prepared. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, D-xylose, D-ribose, and D-maltose are utilized as sugar molecules in this work. The diamine moiety was connected to the Cl carbon of the glycopyranose ring via an O-glycoside bond. All the anomeric configurations and sugar puckering conformations, except in the D-maltose derivative, were determined by X-ray crystallography of the diazido or dibromo precursors. This method has been used to synthesize a library of sugar-pendant diamines including an OH-protected derivative, and an N,N'-diisopropyl-substituted derivative. Acidty constants of these sugar-pendant diamines have been examined, as have the stability constants of these ligands with the divalent metal ions in solution. The effective antitumor cisplatin type complexes of these sugar-pendant dimaines were developed.

- 奨励研究(A), 1994, 1994, 06854033, 二本鎖DNAとアミノ酸誘導体との塩基配列特異的相互作用, 三方 裕司, 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 奈良女子大学, 1100000, 1100000, 本年度は、まず最初にトリプトファン誘導体として、トリプトファンのインドール環をキノリン環に置換し、また側鎖をアミノメチル基に変換し、さらに側鎖の位置を変えた誘導体の設計・合成を行った。続いて、そのそれぞれについて、分光学的測定および融解曲線の考察から、それらの化合物が非常に弱くDNAと相互作用していることが明らかとなった。また、側鎖の位置によってDNAとの結合能力は大きく異なり、キノリンの8位に置換基を有するもののDNA結合能力が強いことも明かとなった。 次に、これらの化合物について、DNaseIフットプリント実験を行った。その結果、DNAと相互作用の確認されたキノリン誘導体において、CT配列の一塩基上流での切断が、薬剤の濃度の増加に伴って大きくなった。つまりこのことは、トリプトファン誘導体がDNAのCT配列に特異的にインターカレーションし、その部分のDNA構造にねじれやゆがみを生じさせ、DNaseIによる切断を受けやすくしていると考えられる。このことから、アミノ酸のつであるトリプトファンにおいても塩基配列特異的な相互作用が期待でき、またタンパク質によるDNA認識においてもトリプトファンあるいはフェニルアラニン・チロシンのような芳香族アミノ酸残基がDNA認識に大きな役割を果たしている可能性のあることが示唆された。 また現在、このトリプトファンのDNA塩基配列特異的な結合については、分子軌道計算によってその詳細が明かになりつつある。残念ながら現在のところは満足のいく結果が得られていないが、実験結果と計算結果の一致がみられるようになれば、計算機化学が今後のドラッグデザインにおいて大きな役割を果たすであろうことは疑う余地がない。さらに現在、この簡単な化合物を立体特異的に配置した分子の合成も検討中である。, kaken

By appropriate design of the ligand, we are going to isolate and characterize the enantiomer based on exclusively "Asymmetric Oxygen". At the same time, we are going to analyze the physical properties of the compound in order to find possible application of "Asymmetric Oxygen". At first, we examined the possible factors that are necessary to coordinate the achiral oxygen atom to the metal center. On the basis of this study, we constructed the system in which asymmetric oxygen and asymmetric nitrogen are generated simultaneously in the complex, and found that the configuration of the asymmetric nitrogen controls the configuration of the asymmetric oxygen. Furthermore, we succeeded in generating asymmetric oxygen atom using a ligand with an asymmetric carbon atom in various positions. X-ray crystallography of copper complexes revealed that the configuration of asymmetric oxygen controls the configuration of asymmetric oxygen atom. The chiral complexes exhibited characteristic Cotton effect in the d-d transition region of copper atom. This indicates that the configuration of asymmetric oxygen is preserved in solution state., kaken
