A few ruthenium based metal carbonyl complexes, e.g. CORM-2 and CORM-3, have therapeutic activity attributed to their ability to deliver CO to biological targets. In this work, a series of related complexes with the formula [Ru(CO)3Cl2L] (L = DMSO (3), l-H3CSO(CH2)2CH(NH2)CO2H) (6a); d,l-H3CSO(CH2)2CH(NH2)CO2H (6b); 3-NC5H4(CH2)2SO3Na (7); 4-NC5H4(CH2)2SO3Na (8); PTA (9); DAPTA (10); H3CS(CH2)2CH(OH)CO2H (11); CNCMe2CO2Me (12); CNCMeEtCO2Me (13); CN(c-C3H4)CO2Et) (14)) were designed, synthesized and studied. The effects of L on their stability, CO release profile, cytotoxicity and anti-inflammatory properties are described. The stability in aqueous solution depends on the nature of L as shown using HPLC and LC-MS studies. The isocyanide derivatives are the least stable complexes, and the S-bound methionine oxide derivative is the more stable one. The complexes do not release CO gas to the headspace, but release CO2 instead. X-ray diffraction of crystals of the model protein Hen Egg White Lysozyme soaked with 6b (4UWN) and 8 (4UWV) shows the addition of RuII(CO)(H2O)4 at the His15 binding site. Soakings with 7 (4UWU) produced the metallacarboxylate [Ru(COOH)(CO)(H2O)3]+ bound to the His15 site. The aqueous chemistry of these complexes is governed by the water-gas shift reaction initiated with the nucleophilic attack of HO- on coordinated CO. DFT calculations show this addition to be essentially barrierless. The complexes have low cytotoxicity and low hemolytic indices. Following i.v. administration of CORM-3, the in vivo bio-distribution of CO differs from that obtained with CO inhalation or with heme oxygenase stimulation. A mechanism for CO transport and delivery from these complexes is proposed. This journal is

Page/Page column 14-15, (2019/12/04)
The following invention regards a process of demethylating a methyl ester of methionine or its hydroxy analog and producing methane thiol as a side-product. The methionine and its hydroxy analog are suitable as an animal feed additive and as a food additive. The methane thiol may be consumed in a hydrothiolation step such as in a step of preparing the methyl ester of methio- nine or its hydroxy analog from from methyl vinyl glycolate.
