Pd(deen)Cl2 and Pd(deen)(CBDCA) complexes, where deen=N,N-diethylethylenediamine and CBDCA=1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate, were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The stoichiometry and stability of the complexes formed between various biologically relevant ligands (amino acids, peptides, DNA constituents and dicarboxylic acids) and [Pd(deen)(H2O)2]2+ were investigated at 25 °C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The speciation diagrams of the complexes formed in solutions are evaluated. The mode of coordination of glycylglycine is investigated by spectrophotometric measurements. The equilibrium constants for the displacement of coordinated ligands as inosine, glycine or methionine by mercaptoethylamine are calculated. The results are expected to contribute to the chemistry of antitumour agents., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)

This review article presents an overview of the equilibrium studies on Pd-amine complexes with bio-relevant ligands in reference to their antitumor activity. Pd(II) complexes with amines of different functional groups, were synthesized and characterized in many studies. The complex formation equilibria of Pd(amine)2+ complexes with amino acids, peptides, dicarboxylic acids and DNA constituents, were extensively investigated. Such systems may be considered as one of the models for the possible reactions occurring with antitumor drugs in biological systems. The stability of the formed complexes depends on the structural parameters of the amines and the bio-relevant ligands. The evaluated speciation curves can help to provide a pictorial presentation of the reactions in solutions of different pH values. The stability data of complexes with sulfur donor ligands compared with those of DNA constituents, can reveal information regarding the deactivation caused by sulfur donors. The formation equilibria of binuclear complexes of Pd(II) with DNA constituents was investigated to support the biological significance of this class of complexes. Most of the Pd(amine)2+ complexes investigated were studied in a low dielectric constant medium, resembling that of a biological medium. Investigations of the thermodynamic parameters reveal that the formation of the Pd(amine)2+ complex species is exothermic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Pd(BHEP)Cl2] and [Pd(BHEP)(CBDA)] complexes, where BHEP = 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine and CBDA = cyclobutanedicarboxylate, were synthesized and characterized. [Pd(BHEP) (CBDA)] crystallizes in space group P21, a = 9.5740(8) Å, b = 9.4700(7) Å, c = 9.7890(10) Å, α = 90.00°, β = 113.360(5)°, γ = 90.00°, V = 814.78(13) Å3, Z = 2. The palladium center has a typical square planar geometry with tetrahedral distortion. DFT calculations show good agreement between theoretical and X-ray data. The stability constants and stoichiometry of the complexes formed between various dicarboxylic acids and [Pd(BHEP)(H2O)2]2+ were studied. Dicarboxylic acids form 1:1 and protonated complexes. Inosine forms 1:1, 1:2 and the protonated form of 1:1 complexes. The temperature effect on the formation constant of the cyclobutanedicarboxylate complex was investigated. The hydrolysis of [Pd(BHEP)(H2O)2]2+ and complex formation with cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid are exothermic processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Pd(dmen)Cl2 complex was synthesized and characterized, where dmen=N,N-dimethylethylenediamine. Stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes formed between [Pd(dmen)(H2O)2]2+ and various biologically relevant ligands such as amino acids, peptides and dicarboxylic acids are investigated at 25°C and at constant 0.1M ionic strength. The concentration distribution diagrams of the various species formed are evaluated. The equilibrium constants for the displacement of coordinated ligands as inosine, glycine or methionine by cysteine are calculated. The results are expected to contribute to the chemistry of tumour therapy. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Pd(DHP)Cl2 and Pd(DHP)(CBDCA) complexes (DHP=1,3-diamino-2-hydroxopropane and CBDCA=1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylate), were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectral measurements. The coordination of [Pd(DHP)(H2O)2]2+ with some selected bio-relevant ligands, containing different functional groups was investigated. The ligands used are amino acids, peptides, DNA constituents and dicarboxylic acids. Stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes formed are reported at 25°C and 0.1M ionic strength. The results show the formation of 1:1 complexes with amino acids and dicarboxylic acids. DNA constituents form 1:1 and 1:2 complexes. Peptides form both 1:1 complexes and the corresponding deprotonated amide species. The effect of chloride ion concentration and dioxane on the acid dissociation constants of 1,1-cyclobutane dicarboxylic acid (CBDCAH2) and the formation constant of its complex with Pd(DHP)2+ was reported. The equilibrium constants for the displacement of coordinated ligands as uracil, glycine or methionine by cysteine are calculated. The results are expected to contribute to the chemistry of antitumour agents. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Pd(DME)Cl2 complex was synthesized and characterized, where DME is 2-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-methylamino}ethanol. Stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes formed between various biologically relevant ligands (amino acids, peptides, DNA constituents, and dicarboxylic acids) and [Pd(DME)(H2O)2]2+ are investigated at 25°C and at constant 0.1 M ionic strength. The effect of dielectric constant of the medium on the stability constant of Pd(DME)-CBDCA complex, where CBDCA is cyclobutanedicarboxylate, is also reported. The concentration distribution diagrams of the various species formed are evaluated. The kinetics of base hydrolysis of amino acid esters coordinated to Pd(DME)2+ complex is investigated. The effect of the temperature on the kinetics of base hydrolysis of glycine methyl ester complex is studied. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 42: 608–618, 2010 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
