β¦ Synopsis
The respiration of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells is inhibited by 3-ethoxy-2-oxobutyraldehyde bis (thiosemicarbazanato) copper (II). State 3 oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria from tumor cells is also inhibited, with the effect more pronounced using glutamate or pyruvate-malate as substrates than with succinate. The disruption of oxidative phosphorylation in bovine heart mitochondria is qualitatively similar. The principal site of inhibition is in coupling site one, energetically between the electron transport site chain and the locus of uncoupling by 2,4-dinitrophenol. This appears to contain thiol groups which are oxidized by the complex. For a series of bis (thiosemicarbazonato) copper complexes, the extent of inhibition of heart mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is correlated with the reduction potentials of the complexes and with their in vitro cytotoxic effects against Walker 256 carcinoma tumor cells.

The i.r. spectra of bis(ethylenediamine) and bis(trimethylenediamine) complexes of Cu(II) have been measured in the wave number region of 4000-250 cm-t. Vibrational assignments have been made regarding the individual rings in both complexes. A normal coordinate analysis was performed using a modifie
The crystal structure of a copper(II) complex of 2acetylpyridine 3-piperidylthiosemicarbazone, [Cu(Acpip) 2 ], indicates a tridentate, monoanionic ligand (i. e., pyridine nitrogen, imine nitrogen and thiolato sulfur atoms) and a bidentate, monanionic ligand (i. e., imine nitrogen and thiolato sulfur
Several cyclic and acyclic enones and their ethylene ketals/acetals were reacted with dimethyl diazomalonate under bis(acetylacetonato)copper(II) catalysis. Cyclohex-2-en-I-one (1) yielded only C-H insertion products 2 and 3, whereas but-3-en-2-one gave a cyclopropane albeit in very low yield. The e
