	abstract = {The water-soluble Ru-II acetylacetonato-sulfoxide complexes, cis-Ru(acac)(2)(DMSO)(2) (1) and Ru(acac)(2)(meso-BESE) (2), were synthesized (BESE = 1,2-bis(ethylsulfinyl)ethane = EtS(O)(CH2)(2)S(O)Et). Both complexes were characterized by H-1 and C-13{H-1} NMR, UV-Vis, and IR spectroscopies, as well as MS, elemental analysis, solution conductivity, and cyclic voltammetry, while the molecular structure of 2 was determined also by X-ray crystallography. All sulfoxide ligands are S-bonded. The complexes were tested against human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-435S) using an in vitro MTT assay, a colorimetric determination of cell viability; IC50 values of >2000 and 1500 +/- 100 muM were determined for 1 and 2, respectively, while cisplatin exhibits an IC50 value of 30 +/- 5 muM.

	abstract = {Inorganic arsenite is methylated by some, but not all, animal species to dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), The monomethyl compound containing arsenic in an oxidation state of +3 has been proposed as an intermediate. Using highly purified arsenic methyltransferase from rabbit liver and the partially purified enzyme from Chang human liver hepatocytes, the activity of methylarsonic acid (MMA(V)) and methylarsonous acid (MMA(III)) as a substrate has been characterized by Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The rabbit liver enzyme has a greater affinity for MMA(III) (K-m = 0.92 x 10(-5) M) than MMA(V) (K-m = 7.0 x 10(-5) M) since the smaller the K, the greater the affinity. In addition, a dithiol, reduced lipoic acid or dithiothreitol, appears to be more active than GSH in satisfying the thiol requirement of the enzyme. Although investigators have been unable to detect the arsenic methyltransferase in surgically removed human liver, its presence in Chang human hepatocytes now has been established. The K-m for MMA(III), 3.04 x 10(-6), using MMAIII methyltransferase from Chang human hepatocytes was not greatly different from that of the rabbit liver enzyme, (C) 1999 Academic Press.},

	abstract = {The pharmacokinetics of selected aluminum-hydroxypyridinone (Al-HP) complexes were determined in rats to better understand the relationship between their disposition and elimination parameters and the safety of HPs in the chelation therapy of Al intoxication. Five complexes were administered as i.v. bolus doses of Al-HP (0.25 mmol/kg Al-0.75 mmol/kg HP). The Al-HP steady state volumes of distribution ranged from 220 to 871 ml/kg, suggesting that each complex distributed out of the vascular compartment (which should have been approximate to 65 ml/kg). Systemic clearances ranged from 189 to 906 ml/h per kg. Elimination half-lives (t(1/2)) and mean residence times ranged from 0.36 to 0.84 and 0.52 to 1.20 h, respectively. The Al-CP20 complex had a short t(1/2) and a midrange volume of distribution. It demonstrated no apparent toxicity, whereas myoclonic seizures were observed after Al-CP22, Al-CP24 and Al-CP94 administration. The most appropriate choice for Al chelation among the HPs tested may be CP20. Characterization of the distribution and elimination of Al-HP complexes improves the understanding of potential toxicity that may be associated with HP therapy of Al intoxication.},
