title: Ruthenium(III) triazacyclononane dithiocarbamate, pyridinecarboxylate, or aminocarboxylate complexes as scavengers of nitric oxide.
abstract: The preparation of a series of [Ru(III)(tacn)(eta(2)-dtc)(eta(1)-dtc)][PF(6)] (tacn = 1,4,7-triazacyclononane; dtc = dimethyldithiocarbamate, diethyldithiocarbamate, pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate, l-prolinedithiocarbamate, l-prolinemethyl ester dithiocarbamate, l-N-methylisoleucinedithiocarbamate) complexes, 5-11, is described. Complex 5 reacts with NO to form the ruthenium nitrosyl complex 12. A series of [Ru(III)(tacn)(pyc)Cl][PF(6)] (pyc = 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid, 2,4- and 2,6-pyridinecarboxylic acid) complexes, 14-16, were prepared along with [Ru(III)(tacn)(mida)][PF(6)] (mida = N-methyliminodiacetic acid), 13, and [Ru(III)(Hnota)Cl], 17, (Hnota = 1-acetic acid-4,7-bismethylcarboxylate-1,4,7-triazacyclononane). Complexes 5-17 were evaluated for use as NO scavengers in an in vitro assay using RAW264 murine macrophage cells. [Ru(III)(tacn)(eta(2)-dtc)(eta(1)-dtc)][PF(6)] complexes 5-11 are very efficient NO scavengers in this assay.
