The aqueous chemistry <strong>of</strong> the organometallic cation [Re(CO)3(H2O)3] + has received much attention<br />

over the past decade, due to its relevance to the design <strong>of</strong> 186/188 Re radiopharmaceuticals as well as its<br />

ability to act as a surrogate for the chemistry <strong>of</strong> [ 99m Tc(CO)3] + . In many cases, these investigations<br />

have focused on reactions between biomolecules and [Re(CO)3(H2O)3] + . The attractiveness <strong>of</strong> this<br />

low-valent precursor results from its particularly high thermodynamic stability, that is, high<br />

substitution stability <strong>of</strong> CO ligands and substitution lability <strong>of</strong> water molecules, which can be easily<br />

replaced by a variety <strong>of</strong> mono, bis, and tridentate ligands <strong>of</strong> different size, shape, and donor atom sets. 1<br />

Here we report the synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation <strong>of</strong> new rhenium(I) complex<br />

with ferulic acid (3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid, C10H10O4). Ferulic acid is a<br />

phenolic acid <strong>of</strong> low toxicity, it can be absorbed and easily metabolized in the human body. Ferulic<br />

acid has been reported to have many physiological functions, including antioxidant, antiinflammatory,<br />

antithrombosis, and anticancer activities. 2 Because <strong>of</strong> these properties and its low<br />

toxicity, we decided to study interaction between trans-ferulic acid and [Re(CO)3(H2O)3] + cation, and<br />

possibility <strong>of</strong> using phenolic acid – rhenium(I) complexes in biomedicine. The corresponding complex<br />

was synthesized in a stepwise manner from [Re(CO)3(H2O)3]Br and trans-ferulic acid in methanol.<br />

The compound has been characterized by 1 H NMR, ESI-MS and IR spectroscopy. Crystal structure<br />

and biological activity <strong>of</strong> the corresponding complex will be discussed.<br />
