The ligation of gold(I) metalloamphiphiles with biomolecules is reported, using water-soluble AuI-N-alkynyl substituted maleimide complexes. For this purpose, two different polar ligands were applied: 1) a neutral, dendritic tetraethylene glycol-functionalized phosphane and 2) a charged, sulfonated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC). The retro Diels–Alder reaction of a furan-protected maleimide gold(I) complex, followed by cycloaddition with a diene-functionalized biotin under mild conditions leads to a novel gold(I) metalloamphiphile. The strong streptavidin–biotin binding affinity in buffered aqueous solution of the resulting biotin alkynyl gold(I) phosphane conjugate remains intact. The cytotoxicity of the biotinylated gold(I) complex against a T47D human breast cancer cell line is higher than for cisplatin.
Synthesis of L-Au(I)-CF2H Complexes and Their Application as Transmetalation Shuttles to the Difluoromethylation of Aryl Iodides

We describe herein two alternative protocols to efficiently prepare difluoromethylgold(I) complexes bearing ancillary ligands with different electronic and steric properties. LAu-OX (X = H andt-Bu) species, formed in the presence of base, have been identified as intermediate complexes involved in these transformations. The application of these compounds as “CF2H transmetalation shuttles” from gold to palladium has been demonstrated in a Pd-catalyzed difluoromethylation reaction of aryl iodides, in which the Au-to-Pd transfer of “CF2H” is feasible under stoichiometric conditions. These findings will pave the way for catalytic manifolds in gold chemistry.
Synthesis and Structure-Activity Relationship Study of Antimicrobial Auranofin against ESKAPE Pathogens

Auranofin, an FDA-approved arthritis drug, has recently been repurposed as a potential antimicrobial agent; it performed well against many Gram-positive bacteria, including multidrug resistant strains. It is, however, inactive toward Gram-negative bacteria, for which we are in dire need of new therapies. In this work, 40 auranofin analogues were synthesized by varying the structures of the thiol and phosphine ligands, and their activities were tested against ESKAPE pathogens. The study identified compounds that exhibited bacterial inhibition (MIC) and killing (MBC) activities up to 65 folds higher than that of auranofin, making them effective against Gram-negative pathogens. Both thiol and the phosphine structures influence the activities of the analogues. The trimethylphosphine and triethylphosphine ligands gave the highest activities against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, respectively. Our SAR study revealed that the thiol ligand is also very important, the structure of which can modulate the activities of the AuI complexes for both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Moreover, these analogues had mammalian cell toxicities either similar to or lower than that of auranofin.
