Oxidation products of VO(T(m-NO2)PP): EPR and cyclic voltammetric studies

The EPR study of VO(T(m-NO2)PP)+ at 77 K is reported. A triplet state spectrum of VO(T(m-NO2)PP)+ at 77 K is obtained. The ZFS parameters are obtained from the computer simulation. An inter-electron distance of

Synthesis and evaluation of antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of nitro-porphyrins

This manuscript reports the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of 4 nitrophenyl-porphyrins: 5,10,15,20-tetra-(3-nitrophenyl)-porphyrin (TNPP), 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-fluoro-3-nitrophenyl)-porphyrin (TpFNPP), 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl)-porphyrin (TpClNPP), and 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-bromo-3-nitrophenyl)-porphyrin (TpBrNPP). The in vivo anti-inflammatory assays were tested on the acute and chronic TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate) induced ear edema. The in vitro anti-inflammatory assay was carried out using J774A.1 murine macrophages stimulated with LPS. All nitro-porphyrins decreased inflammation significantly in the acute model: 58.55% (TNPP), 67.49% (TpBrNPP), 67.49% (TpClNPP), and 71.32% (TpFNPP). TpFNPP (50 μM/ml) increased the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and decreased the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6 in macrophages activated with LPS, with similar activity than indomethacin (50 μM/ml). All porphyrins showed antinociceptive activity and lacked visible toxicity in the acute toxicity test. These results open the possibility of further studies to determine mechanisms of action, and study the influence of the structure on the activity of such compounds.

Synthesis of chiral porphyrins and their use in photochemical oxidation of carbonyl compounds

A series of chiral A4, A2B2, and AB 3 porphyrins bearing proline moieties at the meso-phenyl group has been synthesized. Photostability studies revealed that the number of L-proline units and their position on meso-phenyl rings strongly influence the decomposition rate of the catalyst. 5,10,15-Tris(mesityl)-20-(3- prolinanilidylphenyl)-21,23H-porphyrin is the most stable while porphyrin bearing four 3-prolinanilidylphenyl substituents completely decomposes in CHCl3 within 3 h. Singlet oxygen quantum yields of the conjugates were determined by measuring the peak areas of the NIR emission of 1O2 (1280 nm) generated by these compounds and compared to that generated by the reference standard TPP. Selected porphyrins were tested as catalysts in the photooxidation of carbonyl compounds at the α-position.

Synthesis and pharmacological screening of novel meso-substituted porphyrin analogs

A novel series of mesotetrakis[aryl]-21H,23H-porphyrin derivatives 2a-j was synthesized from the condensation of aldehyde derivatives 1a-j with pyrrole in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid. The synthesized porphyrins were considered as a model to stu

Effects of substituents on the photophysical properties of symmetrical porphyrins

Porphyrin compounds having groups that mimic the phenolic moiety of m- and p-isomers of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (THPP) have been synthesized along with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(heteroaryl) porphyrins bearing 2-thienyl and 5-thiazolyl groups. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, including fluorescence lifetime (τf) and quantum yield (Φf) measurements, were employed to characterize the singlet excited state of all compounds, using 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (H 2TPP) as a standard (Φf = 0.12 in DMF). The generation of singlet oxygen by each porphyrin photosensitizer was measured as the singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ), using H2TPP as a standard (ΦΔ = 0.64 in DMF). Partition coefficients were determined using 2-octanol as the organic phase and PBS solution as the aqueous phase. Fluorescence quantum yields ranged from 0.01 to 0.18 for all compounds, with heteroaryl porphyrins having the lowest values. Singlet oxygen quantum yields ranged from 0.40 to 0.65, with heteroaryl porphyrins having the highest values, showing them to be better sensitizers than m- and p-THPP. Log P values were all >1 showing higher solubility in the 2-octanol layer.

Efficient synthesis of meso-tetraarylporphyrins using i2 as catalyst and ibx as oxidant

meso-Tetraarylporphyrins are synthesized from pyrrole and substituted benzaldehydes by a catalytic amount of I2 as catalyst and o-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) as oxidant in two steps and one flask. The advantages of this method include the use of inexpensive and easily available catalyst, avoidance of heavy consumption of CH2Cl2, innocuous oxidant, and good yields.

Synthesis of calix[3]dipyrrins by a modified Lindsey protocol

(Figure Presented) Bowled over: Calix[3]dipyrrins were synthesized from pyrrole and aryl aldehyde precursors by the Lindsey protocol, modified by the presence of a small amount of water. These bowl-shaped macrocycles can accommodate three metal (M) ions such as NiII and CuII in a hexagonal M3O3 manner (see structure; Cu green, N blue, O red, C black).

Novel synthesis of meso-tetraarylporphyrins using CF3SO 2Cl under aerobic oxidation

meso-Tetraarylporphyrins are synthesized from pyrrole and aryl aldehydes cleanly and efficiently in one pot at room temperature using equimolar amount of CF3SO2Cl in the presence of air as oxidant. By this novel method 5,10,15,20-tetraarylporphyrins can be prepared in excellent yields.

Synthesis of meso-tetraarylporphyrins in air with silica chloride as catalyst

Meso-tetraarylporphyrins (14 examples) are prepared efficiently by condensation of pyrrole with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of silica chloride, followed by air oxidation. The method is compared with other published procedures.

Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5) mediated synthesis of tetraarylporphyrins

A new synthesis of porphyrins from pyrrole and substituted benzaldehydes is described, with PCl5 as catalyst. Aromatic aldehydes condense irreversibly with pyrrole in the presence of this catalyst, and aerobic oxidation of porphyrinogen provides functionalized porphyrins in yields of 20-65%.
