Abstract
The trypanocidal effects of aqueous gold(III) and palladium(II) and their metalloporphyrin derivatives on Trypanosoma brucei brucei growth in culture have been studied using an Alamar Blue indicator assay. All the experiments were conducted in the dark. As previously described for mercury(II), cadmium(II) and lead(II) porphyrins [Chem.-Biol. Interact. 139 (2002) 177], the toxicity of the metalloporphyrin complex of palladium(II) to T. b. brucei parasites was much higher compared to the aqueous free palladium(II) and free base porphyrin. Palladium(II) porphyrin, free palladium(II), and the free base porphyrin were trypanocidal to T. b. brucei at concentrations >1.5 x 10(-6), >6.1 x 10(-6) and >1.9 x 10(-5) M, respectively. While gold(III) porphyrin was effective against the parasites at concentrations >4.8 x 10(-6) M, its aqueous gold(III) was toxic at concentrations as low as 2.0 x 10(-7) M due to the generation of free radicals in the presence of this metal ion which enhanced its toxicity to the T. b. brucei parasites. Although some cell division was observed in some of the cells treated with palladium(II) porphyrin, some dividing cells had no nucleus due to unequal division and delivery of the nuclei into the daughter cells. ...Continue Reading
