Full textAbstract:
A wide range of metals are transported in the body by the protein transferrin, including both essential metal ions and probably also metals used in therapeutic agents. The metal binding sites on transferrin contain tyrosine, histidine and aspartate ligands. This thesis is concerned with studies of the essential metal ion manganese, and with titanium, which is used in anticancer agents. In order to aid the characterisation of Mn(III) and Ti(IV) transferrins, the Mn(III) and Ti(IV) complexes with the model ligand ethylenebis[(a-hydroxyphenyl)glycine](H₄EHPG) have been studied. The Mn(III) complexes rac-Na[Mn(EHPG)].3H₂0 (1) and rac,mesoNa[Mn(EHPG)].H₂0 (2), have been prepared and their X-ray crystal structures determined. Complex 1 contains N(S,S)C(R,R) configurations at the N and C stereogenic centres, whilst in the unit cell of complex 2 there are two independent molecules, 2a (mesa) and 2b (rac), with N(R,R)C(S,R) and N(R,R)C(S,S) configurations, respectively. Enantiomers of each complex are also present. The Mn(III) centres have Jahn-Teller-distorted octahedral geometry, with two long bonds and four short bonds. ¹H NMR spectra of these high-spin d⁴ paramagnetic complexes are reported. These complexes give rise to similar ligand (phenolate)-tometal charge-transfer bands as Mn(III)-transferrin. Dissociation of Mn(III) from EHPG occurs below pH 3.4. The Ti(IV) complex of rac-[Ti(EHPG)(H₂0)].1113H₂0 (3) has also been prepared and the X-ray crystal structure determined. All previously-reported crystalline racEHPG metal complexes contain N(S,S)C(R,R), or N(R,R)C(S,S) isomers, whereas 3 unexpectedly contains the N(S,S)C(S,S) and N(R,R)C(R,R) forms. 2D NMR studies indicate that 3 has a similar structure in solution to that in the solid state. A ligand (phenolate)-to-metal charge transfer band was observed at 386 nm, similar to that seen for Ti(IV)-transferrin. Ti(IV)EHPG was stable at pH values down to 1, however, the complex decomposed above pH 7. Mn(III)-transferrin complexes were prepared by air oxidation of Mn(II) in the presence of transferrin. The oxidation state of manganese bound to transferrin was Abstract confirmed by K edge EXAFS. Analysis of the EXAFS data revealed that the metal centre is also Jahn-Teller distorted but with four long bonds and two short bonds, i.e. an inverse distortion to that seen in the Mn(III)EHPG model complexes. Attempts to prepare other Mn(III) complexes which might be suitable for studies of Mn transfer to proteins are described and include cyclam and bicyclam as ligands. The crystal structure of [Mn(cyclam)Ch]Cl₂H₂0 was determined, and contained two long axial Mn-Cl bonds of 2.5249 Å. This complex was shown by electronic absorption spectroscopy to undergo a complicated series of reactions in aqueous solution. K edge EXAFS measurements suggested that at least one Cl ligand dissociated from the complex in aqueous solution. The hydrolysis was shown to be inhibited by the presence of fluoride.

Full textAbstract:
L’un des principaux verrous scientifique rencontré au cours du développement de catalyseurs d’oxydation bio-inspirés concerne l’étape de réduction du métal pour permettre l’activation du dioxygène. Pour essayer de lever ce verrou, nous avons développé un système macromoléculaire composé d’un polymère hydrosoluble dans lequel deux types de cofacteurs sont incorporés ; (1) des cofacteurs redox capables de collecter des électrons issus d’un réducteur en solution, et (2) des cofacteurs catalytiques capables d’activer le dioxygène. De façon à permettre l’incorporation de ces cofacteurs au sein du polymère, ce dernier a été modifié avec différents groupement chimiques qui ont étés quantifiés par RMN du proton dans l’eau. Par ailleurs, la synthèse de différents complexes métalliques, connus pour être de bons catalyseurs d’oxydation, tels que des métalloporphyrines ou des complexes mononucléaire et binucléaire de fer et de cuivre, a été réalisée. Ces catalyseurs ont d’abord été étudiés avec H2O2 dans l’eau en présence ou en absence de polymère. En parallèle, l’incorporation de la FMN par interactions électrostatiques au sein du polymère a permis de générer un système capable de collecter les électrons de NADH en solution. Cette réduction s’est avérée 4 000 fois plus rapide que la réduction sans polymère modifié. Cette réductase artificielle (FMN+ PEI modifié) a ensuite été démontrée capable de réduire très efficacement les porphyrines de manganèse (III) ainsi que d’autres complexes métalliques. Au cours de l’étude, la capacité de ce système à séparer les électrons provenant de NADH a également été mis en avant. Finalement, cette réductase artificielle a été associée à différents catalyseurs métalliques afin d’étudier leur activité sur la réaction d’oxydation du thioanisole, ou d’autres substrats, par activation réductrice du dioxygèneA major scientific lock encountered during the development of bio-inspired oxidation catalysts is the metal reduction step to allow activation of dioxygen. In this optic, we have developped a macromolecular system composed of a water-soluble polymer in which two kinds of cofactors are incorporated; (1) redox cofactors capable of collecting electrons from a reducing agent in solution, and (2) catalytic cofactors capable of activating oxygen. In order to allow the incorporation of these co-factors within the polymer, the latter one has been modified by various chemical groups which have been quantified by proton NMR in water. Furthermore, the synthesis of various metal complexes, known as good oxidation catalysts, such as metalloporphyrins or mononuclear and dinuclear complexes of iron and copper was performed.These catalysts were first studied with H2O2 in water in the presence or the absence of polymer. In parallel, the incorporation of FMN by electrostatic interactions within the polymer has generated a system capable of collecting the electrons of NADH in solution. This reduction was found 4 000 times faster than the reduction without modified polymer. This artificial reductase (FMN + PEI modified) was then demonstrated to very efficiently reduce manganese porphyrins as well as other metal complexes. During this study, the ability of the system to split electron pairs collected from NADH has also been demonstrated. Finally, this artificial reductase has been associated with various metal catalysts in order to study their catalytic activity for various oxidation reaction using dioxygen

Full textAbstract:
N2O est le troisième plus important gaz à effet de serre ainsi qu’un des principaux gaz responsables de la dégradation de la couche d’ozone. Une approche bio-inspirée de la N2Oréductase (N2Or), enzyme réduisant N2O via un site actif comportant quatre ions cuivre pontés par un atome de soufre, aide au design de nouveaux systèmes. Six complexes à valences mixtes comportant un motif Cu2(µ-S) considéré comme minimum pour avoir une activité ont alors été synthétisés. Il a été démontré que la structure de ces centres métalliques est affectée par le solvant utilisé. Dans un solvant non coordinant comme l’acétone, tous les complexes possèdent une liaison intermétallique et une valence délocalisée à température ambiante. En revanche en solvant coordinant, la coordination de molécules d’acétonitrile rend impossible la formation de liaison intermétallique et localise la valence.Pour tester l’activité N2Or de ces complexes, un prototype permettant un bullage constant en cuve UV a été conçu. L’objectif est de mettre au point une réduction catalytique de N2O en utilisant un réducteur sacrificiel et une source de proton. Le gaz utilisé lors des tests semble cependant contenir une faible quantité de O2 empêchant la caractérisation des activités. Une optimisation visant à purifier N2O avant les tests est en cours.Par ailleurs, les réductions de O2 à deux électrons pour former H2O2 (un oxydant doux) et à quatre électrons pour former H2O (réaction utilisée dans les piles à combustibles) en font un domaine attractif. Il a été démontré que tous les complexes synthétisés lors de ces travaux sont capables de réduire catalytiquement O2 dans l’acétone et que seulement celui sans position échangeable est actif dans l’acétonitrile. Ce dernier a de plus montré une capacité à changer de sélectivité (H2O2 vs H2O) en fonction de la concentration en réducteur sacrificiel utiliséN2O is the third most important global warming gas and one of the most aggressive gas against ozone layer. A bio-inspired approach from N2Oreductase (N2Or), enzyme catalysing the two electron reduction of N2O with a four sulfur-bridged copper ions centre, helps for the design of new systems. Six mixed valent copper complexes containing the minimum Cu2(µ-S) core were then synthetized. It has been shown that these structures are affected by solvents in solution. Indeed, in a non-coordinating solvent like acetone, all these complexes have an intermetallic bond and a delocalized valence at room temperature. However in a coordinating solvent, the acetonitrile coordination makes it impossible to form a Cu-Cu bond and localize the valences.To test the N2Or activity, a prototype allowing a constant N2O bubbling in a UV cuve using a closed system was designed. The aim is to develop a catalytic reduction using sacrificial reductant and proton source. However, the gas bottle used for activity tests seems to contain a small amounts of O2 preventing results interpretation. The aim is now to optimize the prototype by adding a system that can purify N2O before activity tests.In a second time, the O2 reduction using two electrons to produce H2O2 (a soft oxidant) or four electron to produce H2O (useful in fuel cells) are of interest. It has been shown that all these new complexes are capable of catalytically reducing O2 in acetone and that only the one without exchangeable position can do it in acetonitrile. The latter has also demonstrate its ability to change its selectivity to produce H2O2 or H2O by changing the sacrificial reductant concentration. These results bring interesting insights for O2 activation with bio-inspired copper complexes

Full textAbstract:
Biomimetic chemistry is directed towards the simulation of enzymatic reactivity with synthetic analogues. In this thesis a quantum chemical method has been employed to study the mechanism of highly reactive iron-oxo complexes involved in oxygenation and chlorination of organic substrates. The aim of this research is to gain greater understanding for the reactivity paradigm of the iron-oxo group. One reaction deals with the conversion of cyclohexane into adipic acid, a key chemical in industrial chemistry, catalyzed by an iron(II)-porphyrin complex in the presence of dioxygen. This process constitutes a ’green’ alternative to conventional adipic acid production, and is thus of great interest to synthetic chemistry. Another reaction investigated herein regards the selective chlorination observed for a new group of non-heme iron enzymes. With help of theoretical modeling it was possible to propose a mechanism that explains the observed selectivity. It is furthermore demonstrated how a biomimetic iron complex simulates the enzymatic reactivity by a different mechanism. Other topics covered in this thesis regard the structure-reactivity relationship of a binuclear iron complex and the intradiol C-C bond cleavage of catechol catalyzed by an iron(III) complex.At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 1: Submitted. Paper 2: Accepted. Paper 3: Submitted.

Full textAbstract:
Material science is an interdisciplinary area of research, which in part, designs and characterizes new materials. Research is concerned with synthesis, structure, properties, and performance of materials. Discoveries in materials science have significant impact on future technologies, especially in nano-scale applications where the physical properties of nanomaterials are significantly different than their bulk counterparts. The work presented here discusses the use of ferritin, a hollow sphere-like biomolecule, which forms metal oxo-hydride nanoparticles inside its protein shell for uses as a bio-inorganic material.Ferritin is capable of forming and sequestering 8 nm metal-oxide nanoparticles within its 2 nm thick protein shell. A variety of metal-oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized inside ferritin. The work herein focuses on three distinct areas:1) Ferritin's light harvesting properties: namely band gaps. Discrepancies in the band gap energies for ferritin's native ferrihydrite mineral and non-native minerals have been previously reported. Through the use of optical absorption spectroscopy, I resolved the types of band gaps as well as the energy of these band gaps. I show that metal oxides in ferritin are indirect band gap semiconductors which also contain a direct transition. Modifications to the ferrihydrite mineral's band gaps are measured as a result of co-depositing anions into ferritin during iron loading. I demonstrate that these band gaps can be used to photocatalytically reduce gold ions in solution with titanium oxide nanoparticles in ferritin. 2) A new method for manganese mineral synthesis inside ferritin: Comproportionation between permanganate and Mn(II) forms new manganese oxide minerals inside ferritin that are different than traditional manganese oxide mineral synthesis. This reaction creates a MnO2, Mn2O3, or Mn3O4 mineral inside ferritin, depending on the synthesis conditions. 3) Ferritin as an energetic material: Ferritin is capable of sequestering various metals and anions into its interior. Perchlorate, an energetic anion, is sequestered through a co-deposition process during iron loading and is tested with energetic binding materials. Peroxide, which can be used as an oxidant, is also shown to be sequestered within apoferritin and combined with an aluminum based fuel for solid rocket propellants.

Full textAbstract:
Les adduits cuivre-oxygène dans les métallo-enzymes ont été proposés comme étant responsables de l'activation de liaisons C-H, processus qui ont un intérêt pour des applications industrielles potentielles. La première partie de ce travail est consacrée à une présentation de différentes mono-oxygénases à cuivre et de leurs complexes modèles. Récemment, des intermédiaires réactionnels ont émergé et parmi ceux-ci, des espèces de valence mixte CuIICuIII ont été proposées comme étant des espèces réactives clés pour l'activation de liaisons C-H fortes.Dans ce travail, à partir de ligands binucléants basés sur un espaceur 1,8-naphtyridine, la stabilisation et les caractérisations spectroscopiques de ce type d’intermédiaires à haut degré d’oxydation sont explorées. La préparation d’espèces Cu2:O2 à partir de l'activation du dioxygène par les complexes CuI2 est discutée. Deux complexes µ-ɳ2:ɳ2-peroxo-CuII2 ont été préparés à -80°C et caractérisés par différentes méthodes spectroscopiques associées à des calculs par la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité (DFT). A partir de nouveaux ligands dissymétriques possédant une fonction amide, nos tentatives pour contrôler la préparation des complexes binucléaires associés sont également présentées. Puis, les caractérisations des espèces à valence mixte CuIICuIII obtenues par mono-oxydation électronique des complexes CuII2 sont décrites (voltammétrie cyclique, résonance paramagnétique électronique, UV-visible, proche infrarouge et DFT).Enfin, ce travail est complété par l’étude de la réactivité des espèces CuIICuIII, pour lesquelles la littérature est presque inexistante. Lorsque des ligands stériquement encombrés sont utilisés dans les espèces à valence mixte, des oxydations intramoléculaires sont observées, alors que l’espèce CuIICuIII possédant un ligand moins encombré oxyde le toluène. Il est à noter que l'ajout d'une base rend le système catalytiqueCopper-oxygen adducts in enzymes have been proposed to be responsible for the activation of C-H bonds, a process that has industrial applications. The first part of this thesis is therefore dedicated to a discussion on various copper oxygenases and their model complexes. Recently, key reactive intermediates have emerged and among them mixed valent CuIICuIII species have been proposed to be responsible for strong C-H bond activation.In this work the stabilisation and spectroscopic characterisation of high valent intermediates using dinucleating ligands based on a 1,8-naphthyridine spacer are explored. The generation of Cu2:O2 species from the activation of O2 by CuI2 complexes is discussed. Two µ-ɳ2:ɳ2-peroxo-CuII2 complexes have been prepared at -80°C and characterised by spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT). Our attempts at generating dinuclear systems using new dissymmetric ligands with an amide function are also discussed. Finally the successful characterisation of mixed valent CuIICuIII species by mono-electronic oxidation of CuII2 complexes is described (cyclic voltammetry, electron paramagnetic resonance, UV-visible, near infrared and DFT).The last part focusses on probing the reactivity of CuIICuIII species, for which the literature is almost inexistent. When sterically congested ligands are used to support the mixed valent system, intramolecular aliphatic C-H oxidation was observed, whether as the CuIICuIII species supported by a less bulky ligand was able to oxidise toluene. Interestingly the addition of a base made the system catalytic

Full textAbstract:
Le superoxyde O2●- est une espèce réactive de l’oxygène produite par de nombreux métabolismes chez les espèces vivant en condition aérobie. Ses propriétés radicalaires font de O2●- une espèce très réactive capable d’endommager les macromolécules présentes dans les cellules, conduisant entre autre au stress oxydant et à de possibles troubles neurodégénératifs. Pour se protéger, la Nature utilise des enzymes, appelées superoxydes dismutases (SOD), qui sont chargées de catalyser la dismutation du superoxyde en oxygène et peroxyde d’hydrogène. La dernière qui fut découverte est la NiSOD qui comporte un ion nickel dans son site actif. Contrairement aux autres types de SOD, celle-ci n’est pas présente chez l’homme et ne l’est que chez certaines bactéries comme Chlamydiae. Ainsi, cibler la NiSOD est une méthode prometteuse pour le développement de nouveaux antibiotiques. De même, le développement de nouveaux complexes biomimétiques des SOD peut conduire à de nouveaux agents thérapeutiques contre les maladies liées au stress oxydant. Notre projet consiste à développer de nouveaux modèles actifs de la NiSOD, avec comme stratégie l’utilisation de ligands peptidiques. Les deux principaux objectifs sont (1) de développer des catalyseurs de type SOD, actifs dans l’eau, mais aussi (2) d’acquérir des informations supplémentaires sur le mécanisme mis en jeu lors de la catalyse par la NiSOD, afin de mettre en évidence les intermédiaires clés et les différences majeures entre la NiSOD et les autres SODs présentes chez l’homme. Nos résultats montrent qu’une bonne activité catalytique peut être obtenue même avec une sphère de coordination différente de celle de l’enzyme, et mettent en évidence des facteurs clés pour l’activité. De plus, des études mécanistiques tendent à montrer un mécanisme en sphère interne pour la réduction du superoxydeThe superoxide radical anion, O2●-, is generated by many life processes. Its radical properties make it a highly reactive species able to damage all macromolecules contributing to the pathogenesis of many diseases including neurodegenerative disorders. In order to protect cells against O2●-, Nature uses superoxide dismutases (SODs) which catalyze the dismutation of O2●- into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. The last discovered SOD contains a nickel cofactor. Importantly the NiSOD is found in several pathogenic bacteria but not in humans. Therefore targeting the NiSOD is a promising approach to develop antibiotics. Secondly, the development of novel SOD mimics may have potential uses as therapeutic agents in oxidative stress-related diseases. Our project aims at developing innovative active NiSOD mimics, based on the use of peptide-based ligands with two main objectives: (i) to develop efficient SOD like catalysts, active in water, displaying antioxidant properties for potential therapeutic applications and (ii) to contribute to the full understanding of the catalytic mechanism of the NiSOD to highlight the specific key elements that differentiate NiSOD from the human MnSOD for the design of potential antibiotics. Our results show that, even with a coordination sphere different from the one in the enzyme, a good catalytic activity can be obtained. Key elements for the activity are also determined. Moreover, mechanistic studies indicates an inner sphere mechanism for superoxide reduction

Full textAbstract:
Mes travaux de thèse ont consisté en l'élaboration de nouveaux catalyseurs répondant aux critères de la “chimie verte” dans le but de réaliser la catalyse asymétrique d'oxygénation de molécules organiques telles que les thioéthers et les alcènes. Ces nouveaux catalyseurs sont des hybrides bioinorganiques résultant de l'association d'une protéine et d'un complexe de fer. Notre choix s'est porté sur la protéine bactérienne NikA qui est capable de reconnaître le complexe Fe(EDTA). Nous avons synthétisé des complexes de fer possédant des ligands de type N2Py2 (deux amines et deux pyridines), un environnement propice pour avoir une chimie centrée sur le métal. Sur les amines, ont été greffés un ou deux groupements carboxyle pour permettre la reconnaissance avec NikA. Les études catalytiques menées sur ces complexes en oxydation d'alcènes et de thioéthers ont montré que la présence d'un seul groupement carboxyle altère peu l'activité du catalyseur, mais deux groupements carboxyle inhibent totalement la réactivité du complexe. L'obtention de la structure de l'un d'entre eux, ainsi que les analyses spectroscopiques nous ont montré des aspects singuliers de ces complexes, comme la coordination sur l'ion Fe(II) des groupements carboxyle par le carbonyle, et la formation de l'espèce Fe(II)Cl42-, en contre-ion, lorsque les complexes sont préparés à partir de Fe(II)Cl2. Les hybrides ont été testés en catalyse de sulfoxydation montrant une activité accrue sans (ou très peu) de production de sulfone, contrairement aux complexes correspondants avec lesquels autant de sulfoxyde que de sulfone se forme. En outre, nous avons observé au niveau de la structure cristallographique de certains des hybrides des configurations inédites pour ce type de complexes. Malheureusement, nous n'avons obtenu que de très faibles énantiosélectivités (ee = 11%). Pour pallier à ce problème, des expériences de mutagenèse dirigée, basées sur la structure cristallographique des hybrides et des études de docking, sont envisagées. Pour conclure, de nouvelles métalloenzymes artificielles ont été élaborées. Elles serviront de base pour de nouveaux systèmes plus optimisés.

Full textAbstract:
Use of arsenic-rich groundwater for crop irrigation can increase the arsenic (As) content in food crops and act as a carcinogen, compromising human health. Using aquatic plant based phytofiltration is a potential eco-technique for removing arsenic from water. The aquatic moss species Warnstorfia fluitans grows naturally in mining areas in northern Sweden, where high concentrations of arsenic occur in lakes and rivers. This species was selected as a model for field, climate chamber and greenhouse studies on factors governing arsenic removal and arsenic phytofiltration of irrigation water. The arsenic and silicon (Si) concentrations in soil, water and plant samples were measured by AAS (atomic absorption spectrophotometry), while arsenite and arsenate species were determined using AAS combined with high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with an anion exchange column. The arsenic content in grains of hybrid and local aromatic rice (Oryza sativa) cultivars with differing arsenic accumulation factor (AF) values was investigated in an arsenic hotspot in Bangladesh. The results showed that arsenic AF was important in identifying arsenic-safer rice cultivars for growing in an arsenic hotspot. The study based on silicon effect on arsenic uptake in lettuce showed that arsenic accumulation in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) could be reduced by silicon addition. The aquatic moss had good phytofiltration capacity, with fast arsenic removal of up to 82% from a medium with low arsenic concentration (1 µM). Extraction analysis showed that inorganic arsenic species were firmly bound inside moss tissue. Absorption of arsenic was relatively higher than adsorption in the moss. Regarding effects of different abiotic factors, plants were stressed at low pH (pH 2.5) and arsenic removal rate was lower from the medium, while arsenic efflux occurred in arsenate-treated medium at low (12°C) and high (30°C) temperature regimes. Besides these factors, low oxygenation increased the efficiency of arsenic removal from the medium. Finally, combining W. fluitans as a phytofilter with a lettuce crop on a constructed wetland significantly reduced the arsenic content in edible parts (leaves) of lettuce. Thus W. fluitans has great potential for use as an arsenic phytofilter in temperate regions.QC 20170323

Full textAbstract:
The development of Schiff base was a major step forward in the area of coordination chemistry. Schiff bases, a class of organic compounds, carry the imine or azomethine (>C=N–) functional group. Schiff bases played an influencing role in the development of coordination chemistry and were a key point in the development of inorganic, bioinorganic chemistry and optical materials. Schiff bases, widely used in inorganic, organic, and analytical chemistry, account for a significant portion of the more commonly employed classes of organic molecules. The ability of Schiff base ligands to form stable metal complexes with a wide range of transition and other metal ions makes them extremely useful. Condensation of a primary amine with an aldehyde or ketone yields a Schiff bases. In this chapter, we focused on introducing Schiff bases, classified them and their metal complexes, and discussed several synthesis methods, including conventional and green approaches. This chapter also elaborated on the industries’ applications, such as the food industry, agrochemical industry, dye industry, analytical chemistry, catalysis, energy storage, environmental, chemo-sensing, bio-sensing, and biomedical applications of novel Schiff bases and their metal complexes.

Nature is capable of building magnificently intricate and detailed structures out of otherwise boring materials such as calcium carbonate and silica. Anyone who has taken their children to see dinosaurs at a Natural History museum or visited natural wonders such as the Petrified Forest in Arizona are familiar with the natural process called fossilization by which the tissues of dead organisms are eventually replicated by objects of stone. Most living organisms (including humans) are critically dependent on more deliberate and controlled biomineralization phenomena that lead to the production of all hard tissues, including our teeth and bones, seashells and diatom skeletons, egg shells, and the magnetic nanoparticles that provide homing devices from bacteria to birds. All these processes are nothing more than specific examples of highly controlled nucleation and growth phenomena such as those described in generic terms in Chapter 7. At a molecular level, these processes are controlled by the same reaction mechanisms involving oxide surfaces, which were outlined in Chapter 6. However, biomineralization is orders of magnitude more sophisticated than standard nucleation and growth processes. The unique features of biomineralization involve the interplay between organic biomolecules and the nucleation and growth of inorganic phases such as oxides. This interplay is of critical importance in both biology and emerging nanotechnologies, providing specific examples that illustrate many of the concepts of oxide chemistry introduced in Chapters 5 through 7. In this chapter, we highlight the key concepts of biomineralization and provide examples of how researchers can now produce complex nanostructured oxides via biomimetic nucleation and growth strategies that replicate some of the key features used to make hard tissues in living systems. These strategies include the use of (1) molecular complexation and compartmentalization to control supersaturation levels, (2) specific ligands and surface structures to mediate nucleation phenomena, (3) hierarchical self-assembled organic architectures as templates for oxide formation, (4) functionalization to stimulate desired heterogeneous nucleation and growth processes on those templates, and (5) organic surfactants to manipulate both crystal-phase preferences and growth habits.

The restoration, the protection, or the creation of earthen buildings require improving the mechanical strength of the material. The first way to do that is to use inorganic additives, but these additives change the structural properties of earth and have a high carbon footprint. In contrast, the other way to consolidate is the use of organic additives such as vegetal derivatives that rearrange the minerals in the earth, with the lowest carbon footprint as they are from waste management. After preliminary tests with ten different organic additives from traditional recipes, we found that wheat starch improves the earth strength up to 50 %. In this study, we related the mechanical strengthening to the physicochemical interactions between clays and starch. We focus on three clays that represent the three main groups of clays: kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite. For this study, we mainly focused on compressive test and rheological tests. We showed that the improvement of the mechanical strength with starch is depending on clay nature and their chemistry. Then, we can recommend formulations based on the earth nature for new sustainable buildings. Furthermore, we can understand why it was an interesting way to use starch as a strengthening agent in traditional recipes and how it could be used to repair and protect buildings made of earthen material.

Semiconductor nanocrystals have unique optical properties due to quantum confinement effects, and a variety of promising approaches have been devised to interface the nanomaterials with biomolecules for bioimaging and therapeutic applications. Such bio-interface can be facilitated via a DNA template for nanoparticles as oligonucleotides can mediate the aqueous-phase nucleation and capping of semiconductor nanocrystals.[1,2] Here, we report a novel scheme of synthesizing fluorescent nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) using DNA aptamers and the use of this biotic/abiotic nanoparticle system for growth inhibition of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells for the first time. Particularly, we used two DNA sequences for this purpose, which have been developed as anti-cancer agents: 5-GGT GGT GGT GGT TGT GGT GGT GGT GG-3 (also called, AGRO) and 5-(GT)15-3.[3–5] This study may ultimately form the basis of unique nanoparticle-based therapeutics with the additional ability to optically report molecular recognition. Figure 1a shows the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GT- and AGRO-passivated PbS QD that fluoresce in the near IR, centered at approximately 980 nm. A typical synthesis procedure involves rapid addition of sodium sulfide in the mixture solution of DNA and Pb acetate at a molar ratio of 2:4:1. The resulting nanocrystals are washed to remove unreacted DNA and ions by adding mixture solution of NaCl and isopropanol, followed by centrifugation. The precipitated nanocrystals are collected and re-suspended in aqueous solution by mild sonication. Optical absorption measurements reveal that approximately 90 and 77% of GT and AGRO DNA is removed after the washing process. The particle size distribution in Figure 1b suggests that the GT sequence-capped PbS particles are primarily in 3–5 nm diameter range. These nanocrystals can be easily incorporated with mammalian cells and remain highly fluorescent in sub-cellular environments. Figure 1c serially presents an optical image of a MCF-7 cell and a PL image of the AGRO-capped QD incorporated with the cell. Figure 1. (a) Normalized fluorescence spectra of PbS QD synthesized with GT and AGRO sequences, which were previously developed as anti-cancer agents. The DNA-capped QD fluoresce in the near IR centered at ∼980 nm. (b) TEM image of GT-templated nanocrystals ranging 3–5 nm in diameter. (c) Optical image of an MCF-7 human breast cancer cell after a 12-hour exposure to aptamer-capped QD. (d) PL image of AGRO-QD incorporated with the cell, indicating that these nanocrystals remain highly fluorescent in sub-cellular environments. One immediate concern for interfacing inorganic nanocrystals with cells and tissue for labeling or therapeutics is their cytotoxicity. The nanoparticle cytotoxicity is primarily determined by material composition and surface chemistry, and QD are potentially toxic by generating reactive oxygen species or by leaching heavy metal ions when decomposed.[6] We examined the toxicity of aptamer-passivated nanocrystals with NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. The cells were exposed to PbS nanocrystals for 2 days before a standard MTT assay as shown in Figure 2, where there is no apparent cytotoxicity at these doses. In contrast, Pb acetate exerts statistically significant toxicity. This observation suggests a stable surface passivation by the DNA aptamers and the absence of appreciable Pb2+ leaching. Figure 2. Viability of 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells after a 2-day exposure to DNA aptamer-capped nanocrystals. There is no apparent dose-dependent toxicity, whereas a statistically significant reduction in cell viability is observed with Pb ions. Note that Pb acetate at 133 μM is equivalent to the Pb2+ amount that was used for PbS nanocrystal synthesis at maximum concentration. Error bars are standard deviations of independent experiments. *Statistically different from control (p<0.005). Finally, we examined if these cyto-compatible nanoparticle-aptamers remained therapeutically active for cancer cell growth inhibition. The MTT assay results in Figure 3a show significantly decreased growth of breast cancer cells incorporated with AGRO, GT, and the corresponding templated nanocrystals, as anticipated. In contrast, 5-(GC)15-3 and the QDs synthesized with the same sequence, which were used as negative controls along with zero-dose control cells, did not alter cell viability significantly. Here, we define the growth inhibition efficacy as (100 − cell viability) per DNA of a sample, because the DNA concentration is significantly decreased during the particle washing. The nanoparticle-aptamers demonstrate 3–4 times greater therapeutic activities compared to the corresponding aptamer drugs (Figure 3b). We speculate that when a nanoparticle-aptamer is internalized by the cancer cells, it forms an intracellular complex with nucleolin and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) essential modulator, thereby inhibiting NF-κB activation that would cause transcription of proliferation and anti-apoptotic genes.[7] The nanoparticle-aptamers may more effectively block the pathways for creating anti-apoptotic genes or facilitate the cellular delivery of aptamers via nanoparticle uptake. Our additional investigation indicates that the same DNA capping chemistry can be utilized to produce aptamer-mediated Fe3O4 nanocrystals, which may be potentially useful in MRI and therapeutics, considering their magnetic properties and biocompatibility. In summary, the nanoparticle-based therapeutic schemes developed here should be valuable in developing a multifunctional drug delivery and imaging agent for biological systems. Figure 3.
