Solid State Structures of Cadmium Complexes with Relevance for Biological Systems

Abstract: This chapter provides a review of the literature on structural information from crystal structures determined by X-ray diffractometry of cadmium(II) complexes containing ligands of potential biological interest. These ligands fall into three broad classes, (i) those containing N-donors such as purine or pyrimidine bases and derivatives of adenine, guanine or cytosine, (ii) those containing carboxylate groups such as α-amino acids, in particular the twenty essential ones, the water soluble vitamins (B-complex) … Show more

“…It prefers forming stable complexes with soft donor atoms, such as S, N and O (Andersen 1984 ). In fact, Cd exhibits coordination numbers varying from three to eight in complexes with nucleobases, proteins, phosphoric groups, lipids, amino acids, sugars, vitamins, and thiols (Carballo et al 2013 ), amongst others. In humans, Cd complexation with thiol groups [in cysteine and glutathione (GSH)] is of particular importance in its toxicology and pathophysiological effects.…”

“…metallothionein (MT)] and estrogen receptor, but it also interacts at low affinity with zinc-finger proteins, iron-binding proteins, and various low- and high-molecular weight plasma proteins (reviewed in Maret and Moulis 2013 ; Moulis 2010 ; Thévenod and Wolff 2016 ). Moreover, Cd forms complexes with a variety of organic molecules with relevance to biological systems (Carballo et al 2013 ), including sugar residues, nucleobases (Sigel et al 2013 ), amino acids, and peptides (Sovago and Varnagy 2013 ).…”

“…Structures with nucleobases, amino acids and vitamins have also been determined. 46 Cadmium complexes share similar coordination geometries with zinc complexes, adopting a tetrahedral coordination when possible. Although not shown to be biologically important, known coordination chemistry indicates a biological affinity and similarity to zinc.…”
