We describe a simple and elegant electropolymerization method to prepare highly stable tetraamino functionalized cobalt phthalocyanine (pTACoPc) at electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The described method efficiently bridges the excellent physicochemical properties of RGO with the rich redox chemistry of TACoPc. Graphene oxide was electrochemically reduced to RGO at the electrode surface along with concominent electropolymerization of TACoPc. The electrochemical studies showed that RGO on pTACoP/GCE increased effective surface area, reduced charge transfer resistance and enhanced electrochemical signal. The RGO-pTACoPc film modified electrode exhibits excellent electrocatalytic ability to oxidize cysteine and hydrazine. To determine cysteine, the RGO-pTACoPc sensor displayed a linear concentration range of 50 nM to 2.0 μM, detection limit of 18.5 nM and sensitivity of 10.19 nA nM-1 cm-2. Besides, the sensor displayed a linear concentration range of 50 nM to 2.6 μM, detection limit of 10 nM and sensitivity of 1.62 nA nM-1 cm-2 to determine hydrazine. The electrocatalytic ability of RGO-pTACoPc shows better performance over other cobalt phthalocyanine derivatives. Furthermore, the described sensor exhibited long-term storage stability, good repeatability and reproducibility. The practical applicability of the sensor has been assessed in biological and water samples.

We report the facile preparation of a family of S-aroylthiooxime (SATO) H2S donors, which are synthesized via a click reaction analogous to oxime formation between S-aroylthiohydroxylamines (SATHAs) and aldehydes or ketones. Analysis of cysteine-triggered H2S release revealed structure-dependent release kinetics with half-lives from 8-82 min by substitution of the SATHA ring. The pseudo-first-order rate constants of substituted SATOs fit standard linear free energy relationships (p = 1.05), demonstrating a significant sensitivity to electronic effects.
Insights into the mechanism of action and cellular targets of ruthenium complexes from NMR spectroscopy

NMR spectroscopy has proved extremely beneficial in the investigation of inorganic drugs from the time that cisplatin was first introduced into the clinic more than 30 years ago. Both 195Pt and 15N NMR were used in early studies and made a major contribution in the understanding of the molecular mechanism of action from model studies involving reactions with amino acids and nucleotides. Over the past decade, ruthenium drugs have proved to be a valuable alternative to platinum drugs, and NMR has also provided unique insights into their molecular mechanism of action including investigations of simple aquation reactions, protein binding and the kinetics and sequence selectivity of DNA binding interactions. In this article, emphasis is given to define the cellular targets and elucidate some of the mechanistic profiles of recent ruthenium-based organometallic compounds offering efficacy toward cancer cells, by various NMR techniques.
