Synthesis, crystal structure and bioactivity of manganese complexes with asymmetric chiral Schiff base

Synthesis, crystal structure and bioactivity of manganese complexes with asymmetric chiral Schiff base
A couple of chiral unsymmtrical Schiff base ligands, (1R,2R) (−)chxn (salH) (naftalH) and (1S,2S) (−)chxn (salH) (naftalH) had been synthesized by the condensation of salicylaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with two isomers of (1R,2R)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamin and (1S,2S)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamin, respectively. At the same time, two manganese complexes have been synthesized and fully characterized by FT-IR spectrum, elemental analyses, single crystal X-ray diffraction. The interaction of the two Mn (III) complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by spectroscopic techniques. The result reveals that the complexes can strongly quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA through a static quenching mechanism. The binding constant and binding mode has been determined. The secondary structure and the amino acid residues microenvironment of BSA change in the presence of these complexes. SOD-like activity and ABTS free radical scavenging ability were also studied. The antioxidant capacity of the compounds showed that the complexes and their corresponding BSA adducts showed some SOD activity. The results of ABTS free radical scavenging showed that the activity of the BSA adduct was more obvious than that of the complex.
