On Phosphine-containing Gold(I) Complexes in Solution and Their Biological Application
摘要
Abstract
Some transformations involving AuCl(PPh3) in CH3CN/H2O solution are considered and compared with data known for auranofin. The reaction with GSH leads to the formation of binuclear complex (GSH)[Au(PPh3)]2 (at CGSH/CAu < 0.5) or mononuclear complex Au(GSH)(PPh3) (CGSH/CAu > 0.5); PPh3 substitution is not observed. The reaction with BSA leads to Cl– substitution. A cyclic voltammetry study showed the presence of several peaks of irreversible oxidation of AuCl(PPh3) and complexes with GSH.
