Estudo cinético da reação dos complexos cis-[Ru(bpy)2ImN(NO)](PF6)3 e cis-[Ru(bpy)2SO3NO](PF6) com redutores biológicos

Abstract

The oxide nitric (NO) is a responsible endogenous species by dilation of the blood vessels, being also active in the brain and in other physiologic processes. Donors of NO are pathophysiologically active healthy substances that liberate spontaneously or they are metabolized. Sodium nitroprusside, Na2[Fe(CN)5NO].2H2O, is part of a class of compounds that liberate NO spontaneously and it is the only metallic compound used clinically. Associated problems with the use of nitroprusside include susceptibility the photolysis and oxidative action of the immune system, in which it leads to the liberation of cyanide. In this work it was accomplished the study and kinetic monitoring of the reaction of the compounds cis-[Ru(bpy)2LNO](PF6)n (L = imidazole and sulphite) with cysteine, glutathione, methionine and histidine, for the obtaining of kinetic and spectroscopic data that can contribute to the elucidation of your action mechanism. The kinetic results for the reaction of the nitrosyl complex with the cysteine and glutathione suggest that there is two intermediates formation: the first with absorption band in 450 nm is regarding the attack of the sulfur of the thiols and the nitric oxide. The second intermediate with characteristics band of absorption in 380 nm is due to the attack of the second molecule of the reducers to the formed adduct. The rate constants of the reaction with cysteine presented dependence regarding the pH. This occurs, probably, due to the deprotonated in the sulfur of the cisteína, facilitating the interaction of this thiol with the coordinated nitric oxide to the ruthenium (II). The reactions with methionine and histidine show that there are not the intermediates, due to the absence of the group SH in the amino acids. The monitoring accomplished with HPLC reveal the existence of the same mechanism among the compounds cis-[Ru(bpy)2SO3NO](PF6) and cis- [Ru(bpy)2ImN(NO)](PF6)3 with cysteine and glutathione. In the case of the interaction with methionine and histidine, occurs the decrease of the peak regarding the nitrosyl complex and the appearance of the peak attributed to the aqua complex. The obtained results with the NO sensor, of electron paramagnetic resonance and RMN, they showed that the nitric oxide is reduced and release in the complex without there is the formation of the nitrosothiol. Based on kinetic studies and in the spectrum of EPR, the reaction of the nitrosyl complex with cysteine and glutathione presents the following reduction scheme and liberation of the nitric oxide:
