| Abstract | Two probes consisting of $vitamin B_{12}$ (CNCbl) conjugated to Gd chelates by esterification of the ribose 5′-OH moiety, Gd–DTPA–CNCbl (1; DTPA=diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentaacetic acid) and Gd–TTHA–CNCbl (2; TTHA=triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′′,N′′′-hexaacetic acid), have been synthesised and characterised. The crystal structure of a dimeric form of 1, obtained by crystallisation with an excess of $GdCl_{3},$ has been determined. The kinetics of binding to and dissociation from transcobalamin II show that 1 and 2 maintain high-affinity binding to the $vitamin B_{12}$ transport protein. Complex 2 is very stable with respect to $Gd^{3+}$ release owing to the saturated co-ordination of the $Gd^{3+}$ ion by four amino and five carboxylate groups. Hydrolysis of the ester functionality occurs on the time scale of several hours. The lack of saturation and the possible involvement of the ester functionality in co-ordination result in lower stability of 1 towards hydrolysis and in a considerable release of $Gd^{3+}$ in vitro. $Gd^{3+}$ ions released from 1 are avidly taken up by the K562 tumour cells to an extent corresponding to approximately $10^{10} Gd^{3+}$ per cell. The internalisation of toxic $Gd^{3+}$ ions causes a marked decrease in cell viability as assessed by Trypan blue and WST-1 tests. On the contrary, the experiments with the more stable 2 did not show any significant cell internalisation of $Gd^{3+}$ ions and any influence on cell viability. The results point to new avenues of in situ generation of cytotoxic pathways based on the release of toxic $Gd^{3+}$ ions by $vitamin B_{12}$ bioconjugates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
