Abstract

Reactions between the nitrosyl iron complex with N-ethylthiourea ligands {Fe[SC(NH2)-(NHEt)]2(NO)2}+Cl•{Fe[SC(NH2)(NHEt)]Cl(NO)2}0 (complex 1) and hemoglobin under aerobic and anaerobic conditions were studied. It was found that the protein stabilizes the complex, making it a more prolonged nitric oxide (NO) donor, namely, the rate of NO generation in the systems with oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin (determined from the kinetics of accumulation of methemoglobin and nitrosylated hemoglobin) is lower than in an aqueous buffer solution. According to EPR spectroscopy data, rotation of paramagnetic centers in the reaction mixture is hindered due to the binding of complex 1 to the protein molecule. In the system with oxyhemoglobin, the effect of oxygen on the decomposition of complex 1 was also taken into account. According to quantum chemical calculations and EPR spectroscopy data, both the cationic and neutral fragments of the title complex decompose in aqueous solution in the presence of oxygen. The decomposition pathways are proposed. The observed effects provide a prolonged action of complex 1 as a NO donor, which can increase its potential pharmacological efficacy.
