研究领域

For the past several years, we have studied the molecular basis of chromium toxicity. Specifically, we are interested in the structure and reactivity of chromium (V). We have synthesized a physiologically relevant oxochromium (V) complex of citrate and have demonstrated facile ligand exchange with picolinate. Our collaborative research with Professors Sandra and Gareth Eaton (University of Denver) and Professor Peter Lay (University of Sydney, Australia), has resulted in two major publications (Carruthers et al, Inorganic Chemistry, 1999, 38, 3529-3534; Cawich et al, Inorganic Chemistry, 2003, 42, 6458-6468; seven Regis students are co-authors). Currently, we are synthesizing new mixed chromium(III) complexes of citrate/picolinate. As chromium(III) has an undefined role in the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), our long-range goals are to develop collaborative research for the evaluation of the new chromium (III) complexes as potential dietary supplements. Our recent efforts are directed toward the understanding of the molecular basis of aryl diazonium ion toxicity. Aryl diazonium ions are known to induce hemolytic anemia and Heinz bodies in blood. We are currently extending our earlier published work on hemoglobin to electron transfer proteins such as cytochrome c and copper containing proteins (plastocyanin and cytochrome c oxidase). In order to test the outer-sphere (non-bonded) mechanism of electron transfer between ferrocytochrome c and aryl diazonium ions, we have determined the redox potential for a series of aryl diazonium ions by cyclic voltammetry (Mahapatro et al, 241st ACS National Meeting, Anaheim, CA, March 27-31, 2011) and have uncovered a role of the diazohydroxide (anti-diazotate) in the electron transfer reactions of substituted (p-nitro and p-cyano) aryl diazonium ions. Using nitroxyl (HNO) as a small molecule ligand at the oxygen binding site of cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV of the electron transport chain), presently we are investigating a novel duality in nitroxyl (HNO) redox chemistry -the self oxidation and reduction involving NO and NH2OH. Also, we are exploring the oxidation of biologically important thiols to disulfides by HNO.
