RESUMO

Nitric oxide activity in chemistry and biology is not yet fully discovered. There are more than 5,000 papers alone on this subject each year. A lot more work needs to be done in this area. For people in biology who want to study how nitric oxide works in different systems, they need some kind of model compound to release nitric oxide to help them do their pharmacokinetic studies. Nitric oxide (NO) is very important, there is a great need in the scientific society to have a compound that can release it. There are many applications. By investigating the nitric oxide releasing kinetics, we will know if it can be applied to any of these activities such as controlling cardiovascular relaxation, blood pressure or cancer growth. We have synthesized and characterized cis-[RuCl(NO)(bpy)2](PF6)2 and trans-[RuCl(NO)(bpy)2](PF6)2. We found that cis-[RuCl(NO)(bpy)2](PF6)2 show by cyclic voltammetry E1/2= 0,21 V vs Fe ;UV-vis(298nm,332nm); FTIR:νNO= 1930 cm-1 and trans-[RuCl(NO)(bpy)2](PF6)2 show by cyclic voltammetry E1/2= 0,19 V vs Fe ;UV-vis(298nm,312nm); FTIR:νNO= 1921 cm-1. The development of delivery systems for nitric oxide release from nitrosyl ruthenium complexes could be discussed with particular reference to the products of unmet medical needs. A proper understanding of the properties of the NO donor molecule in a drug delivery system is essential before an appropriate use in clinical therapy. We have studied the physical and chemical properties of cis/trans-[RuCl(bpy)2NO](PF6)2 in a water/oil emulsion (W/O) and evaluate release rates of nitric oxide encapsulated in internal aqueous phase. The cis/trans-[RuCl(bpy)2NO]2+ release was also studied with a cellulose membrane, which show non-linear behavior with rate of 4,53x10-4 mol/cm2 for cis-[RuCl(bpy)2NO]2+ and 3,33x10-4 mol/cm2 for trans-[RuCl(bpy)2NO]2+. The transdermal permeation and skin accumulation of is/trans-[RuCl(bpy)2NO]2+ on the percutaneous penetration was also studied through pig skin. Data showed that UV-vis absorber exhibited increases in skin accumulation when is formulated in emulsions in free form for both isomers. Those results showed that the complexes were mainly accumulated on epidermis. We also found by UV-visible and using a NO sensor that the cis/trans-[RuCl(bpy)2NO]2+ can release NO by electro-reduction in aqueous solution or in W/O emulsion when a potential of 0.0 V vs Ag/AgCl was applied. Those results suggest us that a W/O emulsion system bearing nitrosyl ruthenium complex could successfully be used in the development of long acting nitric oxide release system.
