Abstract
The interaction of SeCN with a new gold-based antiarthritic drug auranofin (Et3PAuSATg, where SATg- = 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranosato-S) in aqueous methanol has been studied by 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy. It is observed that SeCN- releases both ligands (i.e., SATg- and Et3P) to form [ATgS-Au-CN]- and [Et3P-Au-SeCN]. These newly generated species undergo further disproportionation and decomposition to generate species such as [(Et3P)2Au]+, [Au(CN)2]-, Et3PO and metallic selenium. The formation of [(Et3P)2Au]+ and [Au(CN)2]- is found to be much faster for Et3PAuNO3 than for Et3PAuSATg when reacted with SeCN-. Exchange between unlabelled CN- of Au(CN)2- and labelled Se13CN- was observed without selenium being precipitated from Se13CN-.
