Presentation Transcript

  1. Development of a Photochromic Nitroxyl Delivery System David Spivey Mentor: Dr. Kevin P. Schultz Goucher College

  2. Nitroxyl (HNO) • HNO has been found to have pharmacological effects: • Positive cardiac inotropy • Vasodilation • Inhibits breast cancer tumor growth • Potential therapeutic agent for heart disease • Downside: highly unstable in physiological conditions

  3. Current HNO Donors • A stable and controllable nitroxyl donor is needed to further study its therapeutic benefits and potential usefulness as a drug

  4. Chromism • A process that induces a reversible color change in compounds • Types of chromism: • Photochromism - color change caused by light • Thermochromism - color change caused by heat • Electrochromism - color change caused by an electrical current • Solvatochromism - color change caused by solvent polarity • Tribochromism - color change caused by mechanical friction

  5. Photochromism • The reversible transformation of a chemical species between two forms by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation, where the two forms have different absorption spectra. • Electrocyclic ring closing reaction

  6. Diene Synthesis

  7. Nitroxyl Binding and Release

  8. UV/Vis Studies of Photochromic Transformation • First compound used produced results indicative of degradation

  9. UV/Vis of New Compound

  10. Photostationary State • The equilibrium chemical composition under a specific kind of electromagnetic radiation

  11. Parallel vs. Antiparallel UV light

  12. Monitoring Closing by NMR Open form After 10 min of irradiation

  13. Isolation of Closed Isomer

  14. Nitroxyl Release • Tried heating open ring form in xylene/water at 140° C

  15. Future Plans • Optimize retro-Diels Alder reaction and HNO release • Optimize side groups to obtain a higher percent in the closed conformation
