The Cu2+ complex of a novel 3-hydroxy-4-pyridinone was synthesized and characterized by IR and X-ray crystallog., showing the ability of these compds. to chelate potentially toxic metal ions. An MTT cytotoxicity assay of a selected glycosylated compd. showed a relatively low toxicity of IC50 = 570 {\textpm} 90 μM in a human breast cancer cell line. The pyridinone glycosides could be cleaved by a broad specificity beta-glycosidase, Agrobacterium sp.β-glucosidase, and for one compd. kcat and Km were detd. to be 19.8 s-1 and 1.52 mM, resp. Trolox Equiv. Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC) values were detd. for the free pyridinones, indicating the good antioxidant properties of these compds. Metal-Aβ1-40 aggregates with zinc and copper were resolubilized by the non-glycosylated pyridinone ligands.
