Coordination Chemistry Of N,N’- Azodoxides, Lakshmi Balaraman
Coordination Chemistry Of N,N’- Azodoxides, Lakshmi Balaraman
ETD Archive
The coordination chemistry of nitric oxide (NO) with transition metals has been extensively investigated, but that of organic NO derivatives as ligands less so. Some nitrosoalkanes RNO and nitrosoarenes ArNO are in equilibrium with dimeric species known as N,N'–azodioxides, R(O)NN(O)R or Ar(O)NN(O)Ar. The cis diastereomers of azodioxides have been proposed to act as bidentate chelating ligands for both main-group and transition metals, but only three azodioxide complexes, a dicationic iron (II) complex, a neutral scandium (III) complex, and a dicationic calcium (II) complex, have thus far been structurally characterized before our work in this area. The delocalized π system of …

Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (ATTM) is an important compound in bioinorganic chemistry, with medicinal applications. Metal complexes of sulfur-containing ligands have been widely used as building block in biology and inorganic chemistry. This project aims to increase the number of Mo-S and W-S complexes that may contribute to fields such as bioinorganic and medicinal chemistry, by the preparation of heterometallic complexes containing both Mo or S and a metal of the first transition series. The homobimetallic complex anion salts (Et4N)2[Mo2(S)2(μ-S)2(edt)2] (1) and (Et4N)2[W2(S)2(μ-S)2(edt)2] (2) have been prepared from ATTM and ammonium tetrathiotungstate (ATTW) in order to start our work. The overnight treatment …

Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry is an advanced analytical technique that offers high sensitivity and specificity and has been increasingly used for analysis of a wide variety of compounds including clinically and pharmacologically relevant molecules. In this dissertation we describe qualitative and quantitative liquid chromatographic mass spectrometric methods to analyze both small molecules and larger macromolecules that provide useful insights into diagnosis and management of several diseases. An LCMS(/MS) analytical method includes extraction of analytes of interest from the matrix followed by liquid chromatographic separation and mass spectrometric detection. Chapter I describes pre-analytical workflows and sample pretreatment techniques and theories underlying LC-MS …
Development Of An Spr Method To Monitor The Chemical Interaction Of Dna With A Small Reactive Molecule: Peroxynitrite As An Example, Divya Sharma
ETD Archive
Peroxynitrite is an anion with the formula ONOO-. It is an unstable structural isomer of nitrate, NO3-. Although its conjugate acid (ONOOH) is highly reactive, it is quite relatively stable in basic solutions. Generation of peroxynitrite in-vivo occurs through the diffusion-controlled reaction between superoxide anion and nitric oxide free radical. It is a strong oxidizing and nitrating agent, and its formation has been correlated with many pathological conditions. Because of its oxidizing properties, peroxynitrite can damage a wide array of molecules in cells, including DNA and proteins. Reactions of peroxynitrite with DNA, proteins, and lipids, trigger a wide array of …

In this dissertation work, a semi-quantitative assay using a lipidomics approach and an absolute quantitative assay using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques were developed (LC-MS). In the lipidomics approach, ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography in tandem with quadrupole time of flight (UHPLC-QTOF) mass spectrometry was used to profile, compare and quantitate the human plasma lipids in Alzheimer’s disease subjects (AD) and normal cognitive controls (NCCs). The purpose of this study is to identify potential plasma lipid markers of AD and to explore the relationships between AD and lipid pathways in humans by using bioinformatic tools. The plasma samples of study subjects were …
