Two pairs of Rh(III) and Ir(III) biscyclometallated complexes with thiabendazole (L1), named [Ir-a]Cl and [Rh-a]Cl, and N-benzyl-thiabendazole (L2), named [Ir-b]Cl and [Rh-b]Cl, have been designed and synthesized to explore the photophysical and biological effects that arise from changing both the metal center and the ancillary ligand. In the dark, the four metal complexes exhibit greater cytotoxicity than cisplatin against human colon (SW480) and human lung (A549) adenocarcinoma cell lines. Moreover, the pair of complexes bearing the ligand L2 is markedly more cytotoxic and present higher uptake values than complexes with L1, thereby their biological properties were studied further to determine their mechanism of action. Interestingly, in spite of the different metal center both the [Ir-b]Cl and [Rh-b]Cl complexes are responsible for the loss of mitochondrial functionality and the activation of apoptotic cell death pathways. Moreover, the photodynamic activity of the four complexes, [Ir-a,b]Cl and [Rh-a,b]Cl, was tested using visible blue light (460 nm) under soft irradiation conditions (20 min, 5.5 mW cm?2). While the Rh complexes are not photopotentiated, the phototoxicity index (IC50 non-irradiated/IC50 irradiated) of [Ir-a]Cl and [Ir-b]Cl complexes was 15.8 and 3.6, respectively. We also demonstrate that only the Ir derivatives are capable of photocatalyzing the oxidation of S-containing L-amino acids under blue light irradiation, [Ir-a]Cl being more active than [Ir-b]Cl, which provides a reasonable mechanism for their biological action (oxidative stress could be selectively promoted through a photocatalytic action) upon irradiation. This different PDT behaviour depending on the metal center and the ancillary substituent may be useful for future rational design of metal-based photosensitizers.

The three diastereoisomers - (R,R), (S,S) and meso - of lanthionine were synthesized in aqueous solution with high diastereoselectivity (>99%). The (S) and (R) enantiomers of two differently protected sulfamidates were opened by nucleophilic attack of (R) or (S)-cysteine. Acidification and controlled heating liberated the free lanthionines. Using the same chemistry, an α-benzyl lanthionine was also prepared. The proposed method, which avoids the need of enrichment by recrystallization, opens the way to the labelling of these compounds with 35S. Furthermore, in vivo bioincorporation into Escherichia coli W7 was studied. No incorporation of α-benzyl lanthionine was observed. In contrast, meso-lanthionine can effectively replace meso-diaminopimelic acid in vivo, while in the presence of (R,R)-lanthionine the initial increase of bacterial growth was followed by cell lysis. In the future, meso-[35S]lanthionine could be used to study the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan and its turnover in relation to cell growth and division.

The condensation of benzene 1,3,5-tricarbonylchloride with cystine-di-Me [H2N-CH(COOMe)-CH2-S-S-CH2-CH(COOMe)-NH 2] yielded triply bridged (1,3,5) cyclophane 1, which was shown by detailed spectral studies and molecular orbital calculations to have a D3 symmetry with conformationally identical linkers and a spherical topology. In sharp contrast, the (1,3,5) cyclophane 2 from the rarely studied lanthionine di-Me [H2N-CH(COOMe)-CH2-S-CH2-CH(COOMe)-NH 2], showed only a equatorial twofold symmetry. This work highlights the special properties of the -S-S- bridge in cystine, which makes it an exceptional synthon in nature and organic synthesis.
