2. 1. Reactions of Model and Anticancer Active Platinum(IV/II) Complexes - A Kinetic and Mechanistic Study

   Author : Kelemu Lemma; Kemiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Model Pt II complexes; Anticancer active Pt IV compounds; Cisplatin; Rescue agents; L-Ascorbic acid; Thiol; Substitution; Kinetics and mechanism; Electron transfer; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : In this thesis reductions of model and anticancer active Pt(IV) complexes with thiols and ascorbic acid and substitution reactions of cisplatin and model Pt(II) complexes with S-donor nucleophiles (rescue agents) have been investigated using stopped-flow and UV/VIS spectrophotometry. Glutathione (GSH) reduction of the anticancer active Pt(IV) compounds t- and c-[PtCl4(cha)(NH3)] (cha = cyclohexylamine), t-[PtCl4(thiazole)(NH3)] and c-[PtCl4(NH3)2] at 25 oC was observed to be very fast.

4. 2. Model Systems for Metal - DNA Interactions. With a Focus on Anticancer Active Platinum(II) Complexes

   Author : Anna Ericson; Kemiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; kinetics; DNA; poly d T ; guanine; 6-thioinosine-5 -monophosphate; 6-thio-2 -deoxyinosine; 4-thiouridine-5 -monophosphate; 4-thio-2 -deoxyuridine; palladium II ; Gold III ; platinum II ; mechanism; salt effect; activation parameters; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi;

   Abstract : Reactions of trans-dicyanodichloroaurate(III) trans-dibromodicyanoaurate(III), trans-diamminedichlorogold(III), cis-diammine(aqua)chloroplatinum(II), cis-ammineaqua-(cyclohexylamine)chloroplatinum(II), chloro(terpyridine)platinum(II) and chloro-(diethylenetriaminepalldium(II) with dimethyl sulfide, thionucleosides, thionucleotides and thione- and guanine-containing 17-mer oligonucleotides have been investigated by use of conventional and high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometry and HPLC technique as a function of ionic strength, pH, temperature and pressure in aqueous solutions. The mechanism and rate of oxidation of dimethyl sulfide by gold(III) complexes depends on the concentration of free halide. READ MORE

5. 3. Structure-Reactivity Correlations for Reactions of Palladium(II) and Platinum(IV) Complexes

   Author : Tiesheng Shi; Kemiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thiol; l-methionine; maleic acid; carboxylic acid; thioether; platinum IV ; palladium II ; linear free energy relationship; volumes of activation; structure-reactivity correlation; reduction; substitution; equilibria; kinetics; mechanism; glutathione; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi;

   Abstract : The kinetics and mechanism for substitution reactions on tetraaquapalladium(II) by an extended series of thioethers, a great number of carboxylic acids, and olefins have been studied by use of UV-VIS, stopped-flow, and high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometry and NMR spectroscopy. Second-order rate constants k and activation parameters (activation enthalpies, entropies, and volumes) for formation of monodentate 1:1 complexes have been determined. READ MORE

6. 4. Oxidation and reduction reactions of the water-oxidizing complex in photosystem II

   Author : Long Vo Pham; Johannes Messinger; Imre Vass; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photosystem II PSII ; oxidation; reduction; flash induced oxygen evolution pattern FIOP ; water; oxygen; global fitting program GFP ; thylakoids; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

   Abstract : The oxygen that we breathe and food that we eat are products of the natural photosynthesis. Molecular oxygen is crucial for life on Earth owing to its role in the glycolysis and citric acid pathways that yield in aerobic organisms the energy-rich ATP molecules. READ MORE

7. 5. Cationic Interactions with Nucleic Acids With Focus on Anticancer Active Platinum(II) Complexes

   Author : Åse Sykfont Snygg; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; in-line cleavage; Cisplatin; oxaliplatin; circular dichroism; DENSPM; polyamines; siRNA; pseudoknot; RNA; thermal melting; anticancer active Pt II complex; DNA;

   Abstract : It is well documented that the antitumour activity of the Pt(II)-complex cisplatin, and similar anticancer active complexes, is a result of metalation of DNA, and thereby inhibition of cell proliferation. Since nucleic acids are polyanions at physiological pH, the rate of adduct formation with positively charged complex, as the hydrolyzed Pt(II) complexes studied in this work, is influenced by the ionic environment surrounding the polymer.
