Oxovanadium(IV) cyclam and bicyclam complexes: potential CXCR4 receptor antagonists.

ABSTRACT: Metal complexation can have a major influence on the antiviral and coreceptor binding properties of cyclam and bicyclam macrocycles. We report the synthesis of the vanadyl cyclam complexes [V((IV))O(cyclam)SO(4)] (1) and [V((IV))O(cyclam)Cl]Cl (2) and the analogous xylylbicyclam sulfato (3) and chlorido (4) complexes. The X-ray crystal structures of 1.1.33CH(3)OH and 2.CH(3)OH.1.5H(2)O show short V=O bonds (1.6093(19) and 1.599(3) A, respectively) with monodentate sulfate H-bonded to ring NH groups for 1, but a long V-Cl bond (2.650(12) A) for 2. The solid-state structures of 3 and 4 were compared to those of 1 and 2 using vanadium K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) data. These suggested that complex 4 was oligomeric and contained bridging chlorido ligands. Electron pa
