Abstract
Abstract. Aliskiren (Alk) is a highly selective competitive inhibitor of renin used for the treatment of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases. With the aim of improving its biological properties by the strategy of the induction of favorable conformational changes, we designed a metal-based drug. In this work we report the synthesis of a solid copper(II) complex with aliskiren, CuAlk, and its characterization in solution and solid-state. Moreover, and based on the association of hypertension with elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the antioxidant properties of CuAlk were studied measuring the activities against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhidrazil (DPPH·), hydroxyl (OH·) and peroxyl (ROO·) radicals, in addition to its superoxide dismutase (SOD) simil activity. Both the ligand and the complex were able to scavenge hydroxyl radicals, but upon complexation, the SOD mimetic activity of the ligand is enhanced.
Resumen. El Aliskiren (Alk) es un inhibidor por competencia altamente selectivo de la renina que se utiliza en el tratamiento de la hipertensión y enfermedades cardiovasculares relacionadas. Se diseñó un metalofármaco con la idea de mejorar las propiedades biológicas mediante la inducción de cambios conformacionales favorables. En este trabajo se reporta la síntesis de un complejo sólido de cobre(II) con aliskiren, CuAlk, junto con su caracterización en fase sólida y en solución. Además, de acuerdo con la relación que existe entre la hipertensión y los niveles elevados de especies reactivas de oxígeno (ROS), se estudian las propiedades antioxidantes del CuAlk frente a los radicales 2,2-difenil-1-picrilhidracilo (DPPH·), hidroxilo (OH·) y peroxilo (ROO·), además de la actividad superóxido dismutasa símil (SOD). Tanto el ligando, como el complejo fueron capaces de secuestrar radicales hidroxilos, pero, luego de la complejación, se mejoró la actividad SOD símil del ligando.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mexican Chemical Society (J. Mex. Chem. Soc.) is a scientific, blind, peer reviewed, and open access, free of charge publication that covers all areas of chemistry and its sub-disciplines (i.e. medicinal chemistry, natural products, electrochemistry, material science, computational chemistry, organic chemistry, bionirganic chemistry, etc). It is devoted to facilitating the worldwide advancement of our understanding of chemistry. It will primarily publish original contributions of research in all branches of the theory and practice of chemistry in its broadest context as well as critical reviews in active areas of chemical research where the author has published significant contribution. The J. Mex. Chem. Soc. is a quarterly publication which language of submission and publication is English. To be suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc., manuscripts must describe novel aspects of chemistry, high quality of results and discussion an excellent bibliographic support, and contribute to the development of the field. Routine or incremental work are not suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc. Authors are encouraged to send contributions in electronic form. Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files.
