Article Abstract
The reaction of the cytotoxic compound dirhodium tetraacetate with a B-DNA double helical dodecamer was studied by X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry. The structure of the dirhodium/DNA adduct reveals a dimetallic center binding to an adenine axial coordination. Complementary information has been gained through ESI MS measurements. Comparison between the present data and those previously obtained for cisplatin indicates that the two metallodrugs react with this DNA dodecamer in a significantly different fashion.

Paddlewheel dirhodium complexes are cytotoxic compounds that are also used as catalysts and in the formation of Rh-based artificial metalloenzymes. Low-temperature structures of adducts formed by the model protein hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) with dirhodium tetraacetate ([Rh(μ-OCCH)]) when crystals of the protein were treated with the metal compound at 20 °C demonstrated that [Rh(μ-OCCH)] in part breaks down upon reaction with HEWL; dimeric Rh-Rh units bind the side chains of Asp18 and the C-terminal carboxylate, and monometallic fragments coordinate the side chains of Arg14 and His15 in 20% ethylene glycol, 0.100 M sodium acetate at pH 4.

Paddlewheel complexes of bimetallic scaffolds are emerging metallic agents in the bioinorganic chemistry landscape. In the most commonly employed construct, these complexes are decorated by the carboxylate moiety, prompting their possible deployment to target either protein or nucleic acid targets. In this study, density functional investigation was performed to assess viable mechanistic routes for the substitution of one acetate ligand with one chelating purine, adenine or guanine, in diruthenium and dirhodium tetraacetate paddlewheel complexes.

Introduction: Distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA) is a rare genetic disorder due to the incapacity of the α intercalated cells to excrete protons in the collecting duct. This impaired distal acidification of urine leads to a chronic hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis with a normal plasma anion gap, hypokalemia, and hypercalciuria with hypocitraturia causing nephrocalcinosis. Primary dRTA is inherited either as an autosomal dominant (SLC1A4 gene) or autosomal recessive trait (ATP6V0A1/ATP6V1B1 genes).

V-ATPase is an ATP hydrolysis-driven proton pump involved in the acidification of intracellular organelles and systemic acid-base homeostasis through H secretion in the renal collecting ducts. V-ATPase dysfunction is associated with hereditary distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA). ATP6V1B1 encodes the B1 subunit of V-ATPase that is integral to ATP hydrolysis and subsequent H transport.

Hypokalemia due to loss of potassium through the kidneys can be caused by distal Renal Tubular Acidosis (dRTA). The etiology of dRTA can be primary due to genetic defects or secondary to autoimmune diseases, especially Sjogren's syndrome (SS). The occurrence of dRTA in SS patients is low, at only 5% of cases.
