null (Ed.)The water reactivity of the boroauride complex ([Au(B 2 P 2 )][K(18-c-6)]; (B 2 P 2 , 9,10-bis(2-(diisopropylphosphino)-phenyl)-9,10-dihydroboranthrene) and its corresponding two-electron oxidized complex, Au(B 2 P 2 )Cl, are presented. Au(B 2 P 2 )Cl is tolerant to H 2 O and forms the hydroxide complex Au(B 2 P 2 )OH in the presence of H 2 O and triethylamine. [Au(B 2 P 2 )]Cl and [Au(B 2 P 2 )]OH are poor Lewis acids as judged by the Gutmann–Becket method, with [Au(B 2 P 2 )]OH displaying facile hydroxide exchange between B atoms of the DBA ring as evidenced by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy. The reduced boroauride complex [Au(B 2 P 2 )] − reacts with 1 equivalent of H 2 O to produce a hydride/hydroxide product, [Au(B 2 P 2 )(H)(OH)] − , that rapidly evolves H 2 upon further H 2 O reaction to yield the dihydroxide compound, [Au(B 2 P 2 )(OH) 2 ] − . [Au(B 2 P 2 )]Cl can be regenerated from [Au(B 2 P 2 )(OH) 2 ] − via HCl·Et 2 O, providing a synthetic cycle for H 2 evolution from H 2 O enabled by O–H oxidative addition at a diboraanthracene unit.more » « less

Key points Accumulation of inorganic phosphate (P
i ) may contribute to muscle fatigue by precipitating calcium salts inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Neither direct demonstration of this process nor definition of the entry pathway of Pi into SR are fully established.We showed that P
i promoted Ca2+ release at concentrations below 10 mm and decreased it at higher concentrations. This decrease correlated well with that of [Ca2+ ]SR .Pre‐treatment of permeabilized myofibres with 2 m
m Cl− channel blocker 9‐anthracenecarboxylic acid (9AC) inhibited both effects of Pi .The biphasic dependence of Ca
2+ release on [Pi ] is explained by a direct effect of Pi acting on the SR Ca2+ release channel, combined with the intra‐SR precipitation of Ca2+ salts. The effects of 9AC demonstrate that Pi enters the SR via a Cl− pathway of an as‐yet‐undefined molecular nature.Abstract Fatiguing exercise causes hydrolysis of phosphocreatine, increasing the intracellular concentration of inorganic phosphate (P
i ). Pi diffuses into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) where it is believed to form insoluble Ca2+ salts, thus contributing to the impairment of Ca2+ release. Information on the Pi entrance pathway is still lacking. In amphibian muscles endowed with isoform 3 of the RyR channel, Ca2+ spark frequency is correlated with the Ca2+ load of the SR and can be used to monitor this variable. We studied the effects of Pi on Ca2+ sparks in permeabilized fibres of the frog. Relative event frequency (f /f ref ) rose with increasing [Pi ], reaching 2.54 ± 1.6 at 5 mm, and then decreased monotonically, reaching 0.09 ± 0.03 at [Pi ] = 80 mm . Measurement of [Ca2+ ]SR confirmed a decrease correlated with spark frequency at high [Pi ]. A large [Ca2+ ]SR surge was observed upon Pi removal. Anion channels are a putative path for Pi into the SR. We tested the effect of the chloride channel blocker 9‐anthracenecarboxylic acid (9AC) on Pi entrance. 9AC (400 µm) applied to the cytoplasm produced a non‐significant increase in spark frequency and reduced the Pi effects on this parameter. Fibre treatment with 2 mm 9AC in the presence of high cytoplasmic Mg2+ suppressed the effects of Pi on [Ca2+ ]SR and spark frequency up to 55 mm [Pi ]. These results suggest that chloride channels (or transporters) provide the main pathway of inorganic phosphate into the SR and confirm that Pi impairs Ca2+ release by accumulating and precipitating with Ca2+ inside the SR, thus contributing to myogenic fatigue. -
Key points Vascular oxidative stress increases with advancing age.
We hypothesized that resistance vessels develop resilience to oxidative stress to protect functional integrity and tested this hypothesis by exposing isolated pressurized superior epigastric arteries (SEAs) of old and young mice to H2O2.
H2O2‐induced death was greater in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) than endothelial cells (ECs) and lower in SEAs from old
vs . young mice; the rise in vessel wall [Ca2+]iinduced by H2O2was attenuated with ageing, as was the decline in noradrenergic vasoconstriction; genetic deletion of IL‐10 mimicked the effects of advanced age on cell survival.Inhibiting NO synthase or scavenging peroxynitrite reduced SMC death; endothelial denudation or inhibiting gap junctions increased SMC death; delocalization of cytochrome C activated caspases 9 and 3 to induce apoptosis.
Vascular cells develop resilience to H2O2during ageing by preventing Ca2+overload and endothelial integrity promotes SMC survival.
Abstract Advanced age is associated with elevated oxidative stress and can protect the endothelium from cell death induced by H2O2. Whether such protection occurs for intact vessels or differs between smooth muscle cell (SMC) and endothelial cell (EC) layers is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that ageing protects SMCs and ECs during acute exposure to H2O2(200 µ
m , 50 min). Mouse superior epigastric arteries (SEAs; diameter, ∼150 µm) were isolated and pressurized to 100 cmH2O at 37˚C. For SEAs from young (4 months) mice, H2O2killed 57% of SMCs and 11% of ECs in malesvs . 8% and 2%, respectively, in females. Therefore, SEAs from males were studied to resolve the effect of ageing and experimental interventions. For old (24 months) mice, SMC death was reduced to 10% with diminished accumulation of [Ca2+]iin the vessel wall during H2O2exposure. In young mice, genetic deletion of IL‐10 mimicked the protective effect of ageing on cell death and [Ca2+]iaccumulation. Whereas endothelial denudation or gap junction inhibition (carbenoxolone; 100 µm ) increased SMC death, inhibiting NO synthase (l ‐NAME, 100 µm ) or scavenging peroxynitrite (FeTPPS, 5 µm ) reduced SMC death along with [Ca2+]i. Despite NO toxicity via peroxynitrite formation, endothelial integrity protects SMCs. Caspase inhibition (Z‐VAD‐FMK, 50 µm ) attenuated cell death with immunostaining for annexin V, cytochrome C, and caspases 3 and 9 pointing to induction of intrinsic apoptosis during H2O2exposure. We conclude that advanced age reduces Ca2+influx that triggers apoptosis, thereby promoting resilience of the vascular wall during oxidative stress. -
null (Ed.)Ligand-based mixed valent (MV) complexes of Al( iii ) incorporating electron donating (ED) and electron withdrawing (EW) substituents on bis(imino)pyridine ligands (I 2 P) have been prepared. The MV states containing EW groups are both assigned as Class II/III, and those with ED functional groups are Class III and Class II/III in the (I 2 P − )(I 2 P 2− )Al and [(I 2 P 2− )(I 2 P 3− )Al] 2− charge states, respectively. No abrupt changes in delocalization are observed with ED and EW groups and from this we infer that ligand and metal valence p-orbitals are well-matched in energy and the absence of LMCT and MLCT bands supports the delocalized electronic structures. The MV ligand charge states (I 2 P − )(I 2 P 2− )Al and [(I 2 P 2− )(I 2 P 3− )Al] 2− show intervalence charge transfer (IVCT) transitions in the regions 6850–7740 and 7410–9780 cm −1 , respectively. Alkali metal cations in solution had no effect on the IVCT bands of [(I 2 P 2− )(I 2 P 3− )Al] 2− complexes containing –PhNMe 2 or –PhF 5 substituents. Minor localization of charge in [(I 2 P 2− )(I 2 P 3− )Al] 2− was observed when –PhOMe substituents are included.more » « less
