Article Abstract
Sulpiride (SPR) is a selective antagonist of central dopamine receptors but has limited clinical use due to its poor pharmacokinetics. The aim of this study was to investigate how metal ligation to SPR may improve its solubility, intestinal permeability and prolong its half-life. The synthesis and characterisation of ternary metal complexes [Ru(p -cymene)(L)(SPR)]PF (L1 = (R)-(+)-2-amino-3-phenyl-1-propanol, L2 = ethanolamine, L3 = (S)-(+)-2-amino-1-propanol, L4 = 3-amino-1-propanol, L5 = (S)-(+)-2-pyrrolidinemethanol) are described in this work. The stability constant of the [Ru(p -cymene)(SPR)] complex was determined using Job's method. The obtained value revealed higher stability of the metal complex in the physiological pH than in an acidic environment such as the stomach. The ternary metal complexes were characterised by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal analyses, Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis). Solubility studies showed higher aqueous solubility for complexed SPR than the free drug. Dissolution profiles of SPR from the metal complexes exhibited slower dissolution rate of the drug. Permeation studies through the pig's intestine revealed enhanced membrane permeation of the complexed drug. In vitro methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay showed no noticeable toxic effects of the ternary metal complexes on Caco-2 cell line.

We demonstrate a class of Co and CoPc molecular Kondo boxes on the Au(111) surface through scanning tunneling microscopy experiments and first-principles calculations. The π-electron states of the CoPc molecule hybridize with the conduction electron states of the Au(111) substrate, imparting itinerantlike electron characteristics. Because of the high symmetry matching between the d_{π} orbitals of Co adatoms and the π orbitals of CoPc, the large orbital overlap predominates the formation of a Kondo singlet within the molecular complexes that prevail over the competition from the metal substrate, enabling them effectively as the molecular Kondo boxes.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by impairments in motor control following the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Environmental pesticides such as Paraquat (PQ) and Maneb (MB) contribute to the onset of PD by inducing oxidative stress (OS). This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of moderate physical activity (PA) on both motor and non-motor symptoms in a Wistar rat model of Paraquat and Maneb (PQ/MB) induced PD.

We report the synthesis of homoleptic two-coordinate Co and Ni complexes supported by a sterically hindered NIm ligand (1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-iminato). Their formulation as two-coordinate complexes was verified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and their M-N bond distances are between those in the reported transition-metal imido and amido complexes, suggesting a multiple-bond character. These coordinatively unsaturated complexes readily react with GeCl·dioxane, affording bimetallic Co/Ge and Ni/Ge complexes, demonstrating facile and rational syntheses of heterobimetallic complexes.

Multi-layered and orthogonal recognition is an excellent route to controlled molecular complexity. Here we report a series of heteroleptic complexes where two ligands pair together at a palladium(II) metal centre in complementary fashion and with orthogonality to others pairs. This complementarity is driven in part through hydrogen-bonding acceptor or donor sites proximal to the coordination domain (either DD:AA or AD:DA).

Serendipitous synthesis of 4,4',6,6'-tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)-2,2'-bi(-triazine) (Tr2P4) - a novel promising polyphosphine ligand - from cyanuric chloride and diphenylphosphine is reported. This unusual reaction represents the first example of tandem C-C/C-P coupling between (het)aryl halides and P-H species, yielding a structurally unique bi(hetaryl)-tetraphosphine. Theoretical study indicates that the 2,2'-bi(-triazine) core arises from hydrolysis of an intermediate [PhP(TrCl)] salt, formed through quaternization of monophosphine Tr(PPh)Cl with cyanuric chloride.
