Abstract
The potential use of organoruthenium complexes as anticancer drugs is well known. Herein, a family of activatable tethered ruthenium(II) arene complexes of general formula [Ru{η6 :κ1 -C6 H5 (C6 H4 )NH2 }(XY)]n+ (closed tether ring) bearing different chelating XY ligands (XY=aliphatic diamine, phenylenediamine, oxalato, bis(phosphino)ethane) is reported. The activation of these complexes (closed- to open-tether conversion) occurs in methanol and DMSO at different rates and to different reaction extents at equilibrium. Most importantly, RuII -complex activation (cleavage of the Ru-Ntether bond) occurs in aqueous solution at high proton concentration (upon Ntether protonation). The activation dynamics can be modulated by rational variation of the XY chelating ligand. The electron-donating capability and steric hindrance of XY have a direct impact on the reactivity of the Ru-N bond, and XY=N,N'-dimethyl-, N,N'-diethyl-, and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine afford complexes that are more prone to activation. Such activation in acidic media is fully reversible, and proton concentration also governs the deactivation rate, that is, tether-ring closure slows down with decreasing pH. Interaction of a closed-tether complex and its open-tether counterpart with 5'-guanosine monophosphate revealed selectivity of the active (open) complex towards interaction with nucleobases. This work presents ruthenium tether complexes as exceptional pH-dependent switches with potential applications in cancer research.

Abstract
Monofunctional platinum(II) complexes of formulation cis-[Pt(NH3)2(L)Cl](NO3), where L is an imidazole base conjugated to 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) with emissive (L1 in 1) and nonemissive (L2 in 2) moieties were prepared and characterized, and their singlet oxygen-mediated photoinduced cytotoxicity was studied. The 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm) complex 3 was prepared as a control and for structural characterization by X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1 and 2 showed strong visible absorption bands at 500 nm (ε = 2.7 × 104 M-1 cm-1) and 540 nm (1.4 × 104 M-1 cm-1). Complex 1 is emissive with a band at 510 nm (ΦF = 0.09) in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide/Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (pH 7.2). Singlet oxygen generation upon photoirradiation with visible light (400-700 nm) was evidenced from 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran titration experiments showing significant photosensitizing ability of the BODIPY complexes. Both 1 and 2 were remarkably photocytotoxic in visible light (400-700 nm, 10 J cm-2) in skin keratinocyte HaCaT and breast cancer MCF-7 cells giving IC50 values in nanomolar concentration. The complexes were, however, essentially nontoxic to the cells in the dark (IC50 > 80 μM). Complex 2 having a diiodo-BODIPY unit is nonemissive but an efficient photosensitizer with high singlet oxygen generation ability in visible light (400-700 nm). Confocal microscopy using the emissive complex 1 showed significant mitochondrial localization of the complex. Cell death via apoptotic pathway was observed from the Annexin-V-FITC/PI assay. The formation of Pt-DNA adducts was evidenced from the binding experiments of the complexes 1 and 2 with 9-ethylguanine as a model nucleobase from 1H NMR and mass spectral studies.

Abstract
Repetitive DNA sequences are ubiquitous in life, and changes in the number of repeats often have various physiological and pathological implications. DNA repeats are capable of interchanging between different noncanonical and canonical conformations in a dynamic fashion, causing configurational slippage that often leads to repeat expansion associated with neurological diseases. In this report, we used single-molecule spectroscopy together with biophysical analyses to demonstrate the parity-dependent hairpin structural polymorphism of TGGAA repeat DNA. We found that the DNA adopted two configurations depending on the repeat number parity (even or odd). Transitions between these two configurations were also observed for longer repeats. In addition, the ability to modulate this transition was found to be enhanced by divalent ions. Based on the atomic structure, we propose a local seeding model where the kinked GGA motifs in the stem region of TGGAA repeat DNA act as hot spots to facilitate the transition between the two configurations, which may give rise to disease-associated repeat expansion.

Abstract
Structural properties of plasmid DNA and model lipid membrane treated with newly synthesized platinum(II) complex cis-[PtCl2{P(CH2CH2COOH)3}2] (cis-DTCEP for short) were studied and compared with effects of anticancer drug cisplatin, cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] (cis-DDP for short). Time Correlated Single Photon Counting Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (TCSPC-FCS) was employed to study interactions between those platinum complexes and DNA. The TCSPC-FCS results suggest that bonding of cis-DTCEP derivative to DNA leads to plasmid strain realignment towards much more compact structure than in the case of cis-DDP. Application of both differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy to platinum complexes/DPPC showed that cis-DTCEP slightly increases the phospholipid’s main phase transition temperature resulting in decreased fluidity of the model membrane. The newly investigated compound—similarly to cis-DDP—interacts mainly with the DPPC head group however not only by the means of electrostatic forces: this compound probably enters into hydrophilic region of the lipid bilayer and forms hydrogen bonds with COO groups of glycerol and PO2− group of DPPC.

Abstract
The investigation of the linkage isomers of biologically essential and kinetically labile metal complexes in aqueous solutions poses a challenge, as these microspecies cannot be separately studied. Therefore, derivatives are commonly used to initially determine the stability or spectral characteristics of at least one of the isomers. Here we directly detect the isomers, describe the metal ion coordination sphere, speciation and thermodynamic parameters by a synergistic application of temperature dependent EPR and CD spectroscopic measurements in copper(ii)-dipeptide systems including His-Gly and His-Ala ligands. The ΔH = (-23 ± 4) kJ mol-1 value of the standard enthalpy change corresponding to the peptide-type to histamine-type isomerisation equilibrium of the [CuL]+ complex was corroborated by several techniques. The preferential coordination of the side-chains was observed at lower temperatures, whereas, metal-binding of the backbone atoms became favourable upon increasing temperature. This study exemplifies the necessity of using temperature dependent multiple methodologies for a reliable description of similar systems for upstream applications.

Abstract
Cisplatin as a chief chemotherapy has nephro-toxicity and so we have tried to develop a novel antitumor drug based on a combination of cobalt metal ion with an organic moiety. The antitumor activity of the complex was tested in vitro and in vivo against murine Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). Antioxidant capacity and nucleic acids content were determined. Cobalt(ii) diacetyl monoxime-2-hydrazinopyridine complex significantly diminished tumor load. It decreased the tumor proliferation rate and obviously increased the life span of EAC-bearing mice. It reversed the haematological parameters back towards normal, reduced liver enzymes and urea, and increased albumin and total protein. Antioxidant parameters levels were reversed towards normal. An assessment was conducted by comparing these results with those obtained using the standard drug, cisplatin. The results suggest that the cobalt complex can be considered as a potent anticancer agent as it showed appreciable antitumor activity in EAC-bearing mice that was almost analogous to that of the reference standard, cisplatin.

Abstract
Reaction of {[Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl]2(μ-Cl)2} (1) with aminomethylphosphane derived from morpholine (P{CH2N(CH2CH2)2O}3 (A), PPh2{CH2N(CH2CH2)2O} (B)) or piperazine (P{CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3}3 (C), PPh2{CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3} (D)) results in four new piano stool ruthenium(II) coordination compounds: [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(A)] (2A), [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(B)] (2B), [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(C)] (2C) and [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(D)] (2D). Every complex was fully characterized using spectroscopic methods (1H, 13C{1H}, 31P{1H} NMR and ESI-MS), elemental analysis, X-ray single crystal diffraction and DFT calculations. Preliminary studies of in vitro cytotoxicity on the A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma) and MCF7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) cell lines revealed 2A-2D activity in the same order of magnitude as in the case of cisplatin. Additionally, the study confirmed the ability of 2A-2D to interact with DNA helix and transferrin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising anti-tumor treatment strategy. Photosensitizer is one of the most important components of PDT. In this work, the anticancer activities of PDT mediated by six new ruthenium porphyrin complexes were screened. The mechanisms of the most efficacious candidate were investigated. METHODS Photocytotoxicity of the six porphyrins was tested. The most promising complex, Rup-03, was further investigated using Geimsa staining, which indirectly detects reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subcellular localization. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cell apoptosis, DNA fragmentation, c-Myc gene expression, and telomerase activities were also assayed. RESULTS Rup-03 and Rup-04 had the lowest IC50 values. Rup-03 had an IC50 value of 29.5±2.3μM in HepG2 cells and 59.0±6.1μM in RAW264.7 cells, while Rup-04 had an IC50 value of 40.0±3.8μM in SGC-7901 cells. The complexes also induced cellular morphological changes and impaired cellular ability to scavenge ROS, and accumulated preferentially in mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Rup-03 reduced MMP levels, induced apoptosis, and repressed both c-Myc mRNA expression and telomerase activity in HepG2 cells. CONCLUSIONS Among six candidates, Rup-03-mediated PDT is most effective against HepG2 and RAW264.7, with a similar efficacy as that of Rup-04-mediated PDT against SGC-7901 cells. Repression of ROS scavenging activities and c-Myc expression, which mediated DNA damage-induced cell apoptosis and repression of telomerase activity, respectively, were found to be involved in the anticancer mechanisms of Rup-03.

Abstract
The synthesis of water-soluble SN38 derivatives is presented, and their stability in solutions used during drug development studies has been investigated. A preliminary study of mechanism of action of 9-aminomethyl SN38 is presented. Using NMR techniques, the interaction of the oligomer d(GCGATCGC)2 is studied, showing that the terminal GC base pairs are the main site of interaction. Using pulsed field gradient spin echo and mass spectroscopy, evidence of a spontaneous alkylation reaction of the DNA oligomer with SN38 derivatives is presented. A proposed mechanism of reaction is suggested. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) has been widely used as a chemotherapeutic agent for solid tumors. The most common side effect of CDDP is nephrotoxicity, and many efforts have been made in the laboratory and the clinic to employ candidate adjuvants to CDDP to minimize this adverse influence. Many synthetic and herbal antioxidants as well as trace elements have been investigated for this purpose in recent years and a variety of positive and negative results have been yielded. However, no definitive supplement has so far been proposed to prevent CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity; however, this condition is gender related and the sex hormone estrogen may protect the kidney against CDDP damage. In this review, the results of research related to the effect of different synthetic and herbal antioxidants supplements are presented and discussed with suggestions included for future work.

Abstract
Three novel copper(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) complexes of lapachol (Lap) containing 110-phenanthroline (phen) ligand, [M(Lap)2(phen)] (M=Cu(II), 1, Co(II), 2, and Ni(II), 3), have been synthesized and characterized using, elemental analysis and spectroscopic studies. Their interactions with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) were investigated using viscosity, thermal denaturation, circular dichorism, fluorescence quenching, and electronic absorption spectroscopy. The DNA cleavage abilities of 1-3 have been studied, where cleavage activity of copper complex 1 is more than the complexes 2 and 3. The in vitro cytotoxic potential of the complexes 1-3 against human cervical carcinoma (HeLa), human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2), and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells indicated their promising antitumor activity with quite low IC50 values in the range of .15-2.41 μM, which are lower than those of cisplatin.

Abstract
A new class of tricyclic heterocycles 4H-benzo[g][1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-c][1,4]oxazocines was synthesized through a Knoevenagel condensation/azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction cascade in one-pot operation. These eight membered ring containing heterocycles exhibited moderately high anticancer activity against four cancer cell lines; human cervix cancer cell line (HeLa), human prostate cancer cell line (DU145), human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and human breast adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line (MDA-MB-231). Our results indicate that these compounds have a weak cytotoxic effect on normal human mammary epithelial cell line (MCF-10A). Cell cycle and apoptosis assay indicate that they inhibit the cell cycle at the G2/M phase and induce apoptosis. Through the RED100 assay, it is evident that they have potential to inhibit pBR 322 plasmid DNA cleavage by BamH1. UV-visible, fluorescence titration and viscosity studies suggested that these compounds possess DNA binding affinity.

Abstract
Ferulago macrocarpa (Fenzl) Boiss., is an endemic medicinal herb of Iran. In this study a dihydrofuranocoumarin called grandivittin (GRA) was separate and purified from Ferulago macrocarpa (Fenzl) Boiss, and characterized by (1)H NMR and Mass spectroscopic methods. The electrochemical behavior of GRA was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The interaction of GRA with calf thymus double strand deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA), was evaluated by CV, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), fluorescence, UV-Vis, FT-IR and molecular modeling methods. The thermodynamic parameters of GRA-DNA complex were measured and reported as: ΔH = 15.04 kJ mol(-1), ΔS = 105.54 J mol(-1) and ΔG = -15.62 kJ mol(-1). Docking simulation was performed to investigate the probable binding mode of GRA to various DNA, too. The polymerase extension study was performed using real-time PCR to confirm the inhibitory effect of GRA on polymerase extension activity as a mirror of binding to ct-DNA. However, all data showed that the grooves binding especially minor groove between GRA and ct-DNA is more predominant rather than other binding modes.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer chemoresistance, both intrinsic and acquired, is the main obstacle in improving the outcome of anticancer therapies. Therefore the development of new treatment strategies, including the use of new compounds that can support the standard therapeutics is required. Among many candidates, nitric oxide (NO) donors, agents with multivalent targeted activities in cancer cells, are worth considering. The aim of this study was evaluation of SPER/NO and DETA/NO ability to enhance cisplatin cytotoxicity against different ovarian cancer cell lines. Obtained data indicate that NO donors action varies between different cancer cell lines and is strongest in low aggressive and cisplatin sensitive cells. While statistically significant, the enhancement of cisplatin cytotoxicity by NO donors is of low magnitude. The rise in the percentage of late apoptotic/necrotic ovarian cancer cells may suggest that NO donors enhancement action might be based on the cellular ATP depletion. Nevertheless, no significant impact of the NO donors, cisplatin or their combination on the expressions of ABCB1, BIRC5 and PTEN genes has been found. Although our data puts the therapeutical potential of NO donors to aid cisplatin action in question it may also point out at the further approach to utilize these compounds in therapies.

Abstract
Addition of aminomethylphosphane P{CH2N(CH2CH2)2O}3 (), PPh2{CH2N(CH2CH2)2O} () or PPh2{CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH2CH3} () to a methanolic solution of RuCl3 results in reduction of ruthenium(iii) ions giving finally ttt-[RuCl2()2] (), ttt-[RuCl2()2] () and ttt-[RuCl2()2] (). The synthesized complexes are the first examples of ruthenium(ii) coordination compounds possessing aminomethylphosphanes chelating via phosphorus and nitrogen atoms. They were fully characterized (NMR, ESI-MS, IR, elemental analysis, X-ray crystallography). Preliminary studies of the in vitro cytotoxicity on the A549 cell line (human lung adenocarcinoma) and interactions with human serum proteins (albumin and apotransferrin) showed moderate activity of the complexes. Interestingly, the P,N-chelation leads to formation of strained 4-membered Ru-P-C-N-Ru rings, which in the case of and undergo opening in the presence of CH3CN, which results in rearrangement to ctc-[RuCl2()2(CH3CN)2] () and ctc-[RuCl2()2(CH3CN)2] ().

Abstract
Contrary to what was believed for many years, cis-PtI2(NH3)2, the diiodido analogue of cisplatin, displays high in vitro antiproliferative activity toward a set of tumour cell lines, overcoming resistance to cisplatin in a platinum-resistant cancer cell line. In the context of a general reappraisal of iodinated Pt(ii) derivatives, aiming at a more systematic evaluation of their chemical and biological profiles, here we report on the reactivity of cis-PtI2(NH3)2 with selected DNA model systems, in single, double strand or G-quadruplex form, using cisplatin as a control. A combined approach has been exploited in this study, including circular dichroism (CD), UV-visible spectroscopy and electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analyses. The data reveal that cis-PtI2(NH3)2 shows an overall reactivity towards the investigated oligonucleotides significantly higher than cisplatin.

Abstract
Three new ruthenium(II)-arene complexes, namely [(η(6)-p-cymene)Ru(Me2dppz)Cl]PF6 (1), [(η(6)-benzene)Ru(Me2dppz)Cl]PF6 (2) and [(η(6)-p-cymene)Ru(aip)Cl]PF6 (3) (Me2dppz=11,12-dimethyldipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine; aip=2-(9-anthryl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f] [1,10] phenanthroline) have been synthesized and characterized using different spectroscopic techniques including elemental analysis. The complexes were found to be well soluble and stable in DMSO. The biological activity of the three complexes was tested in three different human cancer cell lines (A549, MDA-MB-231 and HeLa) and in one human non-cancerous cell line (MRC-5). Complexes 1 and 3, carrying η(6)-p-cymene as the arene ligand, were shown to be toxic in all cell lines in the low micromolar/subnanomolar range, with complex 1 being the most cytotoxic complex of the series. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that complex 1 caused concentration- and time-dependent arrest of the cell cycle in G2-M and S phases in HeLa cells. This event is followed by the accumulation of the sub-G1 DNA content after 48h, in levels higher than cisplatin and in the absence of phosphatidylserine externalization. Fluorescent microscopy and acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining revealed that complex 1 induced both apoptotic and necrotic cell morphology characteristics. Drug-accumulation and DNA-binding studies performed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in HeLa cells showed that the total ruthenium uptake increased in a time- and concentration-dependent manner, and that complex 1 accumulated more efficiently than cisplatin at equimolar concentrations. The introduction of a Me2dppz ligand into the ruthenium(II)-p-cymene scaffold was found to allow the discovery of a strongly cytotoxic complex with significantly higher cellular uptake and DNA-binding properties than cisplatin.

Abstract
Electron capture dissociation (ECD) is a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method that utilizes the interaction of ions and electrons. Its unique ability to preserve labile bonds distinguishes it from conventional threshold-based MS/MS methods, the most important of which is collision-induced dissociation (CID). During the last decade, ECD has opened up several new venues in protein analyses, for example top-down sequencing, identification of post-translational modifications, and characterization of protein-protein interactions. In recent years, a number of related dissociation techniques, so-called ExD techniques, particularly electron transfer dissociation (ETD), electron detachment dissociation (EDD), electron induced dissociation (EID), and negative electron transfer dissociation (NETD), have emerged and have extended the application range of ion-electron dissociations further. Importantly, ExD techniques have been applied beyond protein analyses, which is the focus of the current paper. This short introduction describes the application of ExD to small and medium-sized molecules and reviews important applications to natural products, biomedical compounds, synthetic molecules, crude oils, and environmental toxins.

Abstract
One of the major advances in medical science has been the development of antimicrobials; however, a consequence of their widespread use has been the emergence of drug-resistant populations of microorganisms. There is clearly a need for the development of new antimicrobials--but more importantly, there is the need for the development of new classes of antimicrobials, rather than drugs based upon analogues of known scaffolds. Due to the success of the platinum anticancer agents, there has been considerable interest in the development of therapeutic agents based upon other transition metals--and in particular ruthenium(II/III) complexes, due to their well known interaction with DNA. There have been many studies of the anticancer properties and cellular localisation of a range of ruthenium complexes in eukaryotic cells over the last decade. However, only very recently has there been significant interest in their antimicrobial properties. This review highlights the types of ruthenium complexes that have exhibited significant antimicrobial activity and discusses the relationship between chemical structure and biological processing--including site(s) of intracellular accumulation--of the ruthenium complexes in both bacterial and eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) are promising anticancer drugs, which inhibit proliferation of a wide variety of cancer cells including breast carcinoma cells. In the present study, we investigated the influence of valproic acid (VPA) and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA, vorinostat), alone or in combination with cisplatin (CDDP) on proliferation, induction of apoptosis and cell cycle progression in MCF7, T47D and MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma cell lines. The type of interaction between HDIs and CDDP was determined by an isobolographic analysis. The isobolographic analysis is a very precise and rigorous pharmacodynamic method, to determine the presence of synergism, addition or antagonism between different drugs with using variety of fixed dose ratios. Our experiments show that the combinations of CDDP with SAHA or VPA at a fixed-ratio of 1:1 exerted additive interaction in the viability of MCF7 cells, while in T47D cells there was a tendency to synergy. In contrast, sub-additive (antagonistic) interaction was observed for the combination of CDDP with VPA in MDA-MB-231 “triple-negative” (i.e. estrogen receptor negative, progesterone receptor negative, and HER-2 negative) human breast cancer cells, whereas combination of CDDP with SAHA in the same MDA-MB-231 cell line yielded additive interaction. Additionally, combined HDIs/CDDP treatment resulted in increase in apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in all tested breast cancer cell lines in comparison with a single therapy. In conclusion, the additive interaction of CDDP with SAHA or VPA suggests that HDIs could be combined with CDDP in order to optimize treatment regimen in some human breast cancers.

Abstract
The Os(II) arene anticancer complex [(η(6)-bip)Os(en)Cl](+) (Os1-Cl; where bip = biphenyl, and en = ethylenediamine) binds strongly to DNA. Here we investigate reactions between Os1-Cl and the self-complementary 12-mer oligonucleotide 5'-TAGTAATTACTA-3' (DNA12) using ultra high resolution Fourier Transform-Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Identification of the specific sites of DNA osmiation with {(η(6)-bip)Os(en)}(2+) was made possible by the use of Electron Detachment Dissociation (EDD) which produced a wide range of assignable osmiated MS/MS fragments. In contrast, the more commonly used CAD and IRMPD techniques produced fragments which lose the bound osmium. These studies reveal that not only is guanine G3 a strong binding site for {(η(6)-bip)Os(en)}(2+) but, unexpectedly, so too is cytosine C10. Interestingly, the G3/C10 di-osmiated adduct of DNA12 also formed readily but did not undergo such facile fragmentation by EDD, perhaps due to folding induced by van der Waal's interactions of the bound osmium arene species. These new insights into osmium arene DNA adducts should prove valuable for the design of new organometallic drugs and contribute to understanding the lack of cross resistance of this organometallic anticancer complex with cisplatin.

Abstract
Worldwide research groups are searching for anticancer compounds, many of them are organometalic complexes having platinum group metals as their active centers. Most commonly used cytostatics from this group are cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin. Cisplatin was used fot the first time in 1978, from this time many platinum derivatives were created. In this review we present biological properties and probable future clinical use of platinum, gold, silver, iridium and ruthenium derivatives. Gold derivative Auranofin has been studied extensively. Action of silver nanoparticles on different cell lines was analysed. Iridium isotopes are commonly used in brachyterapy. Ruthenium compound new anti-tumour metastasis inhibitor (NAMI-A) is used in managing lung cancer metastases. Electroporation of another ruthenium based compound KP1339 was also studied. Most of described complexes have antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties. Further studies need to be made. Nevertheless noble metal based chemotherapheutics and compounds seem to be an interesting direction of research.

Abstract
Cisplatin and its platinum (Pt) (II) derivatives play a key role in the fight against various human cancers such as testicular, ovarian, head and neck, lung tumors. However, their application in clinic is limited due to dose- dependent toxicities and acquired drug resistances, which have prompted extensive research effort toward the development of more effective Pt (II) delivery strategies. The synthesis of Pt (IV) complex is one such an area of intense research fields, which involves their in vivo conversion into active Pt (II) molecules under the reducing intracellular environment, and has demonstrated encouraging preclinical and clinical outcomes. Compared with Pt (II) complexes, Pt (IV) complexes not only exhibit an increased stability and reduced side effects, but also facilitate the intravenous-to-oral switch in cancer chemotherapy. The overview briefly analyzes statuses of Pt (II) complex that are in clinical use, and then focuses on the development of Pt (IV) complexes. Finally, recent advances in Pt (IV) complexes in combination with nanocarriers are highlighted, addressing the shortcomings of Pt (IV) complexes, such as their instability in blood and irreversibly binding to plasma proteins and nonspecific distribution, and taking advantage of passive and active targeting effect to improve Pt (II) anticancer therapy.

Abstract
While cisplatin (CP) is still one of the world's bestselling anticancer drugs, its intravenous administration is inherently associated with severe, dose limiting toxic side-effects. Although the molecular basis of the latter are not well understood, biochemical transformations of CP in blood and the interaction of the generated platinum species with plasma proteins likely play a critical role since these processes will ultimately determine which platinum-species reach the intended tumor cells as well as non-target cells. Compared to healthy subjects, cancer patients often have decreased plasma human serum albumin (HSA) concentrations. Little, however, is known about how the plasma HSA concentration will affect the metabolism of CP. To gain insight, we obtained blood plasma from healthy adults (n = 20, 42 ± 4 g HSA per L) and pediatric cancer patients (n = 11, 26 ± 7 g HSA per L). After the incubation of plasma at 37 °C, a pharmacologically relevant dose of CP was added and the Pt-distribution therein was determined by size-exclusion chromatography coupled on-line to an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer. At the 2 h time point, a 5.9% increase of toxic CP-derived hydrolysis products was detected in pediatric cancer patient plasma, while 9.8% less platinum was protein bound compared to plasma from healthy controls. These in vitro results suggest that the elevated concentration of highly reactive free CP-derived hydrolysis products in plasma may cause the toxic side-effects in cancer patients. More importantly, the deliberate increase of the plasma HSA concentration in cancer patients prior to CP treatment would represent a simple strategy to possibly alleviate the fraction of patients that suffer from drug induced toxic side-effects.

Abstract
We report the synthesis, characterization, and antiproliferative activity of 15 iridium(III) half-sandwich complexes of the type [(η5-Cp*)Ir(2-(R'-phenyl)-R-pyridine)Cl] bearing either an electron-donating (-OH, -CH2OH, -CH3) or electron-withdrawing (-F, -CHO, -NO2) group at various positions on the 2-phenylpyridine (2-PhPy) chelating ligand giving rise to six sets of structural isomers. The X-ray crystal structures of [(η5-Cp*)Ir(2-(2'-fluorophenyl)pyridine)Cl] (1) and [(η5-Cp*)Ir(2-(4'-fluorophenyl)pyridine)Cl] (2) exhibit the expected "piano-stool" configuration. DFT calculations showed that substituents caused only localized effects on the electrostatic potential surface of the chelating 2-PhPy ligand of the complexes. Hydrolysis of all complexes is rapid, but readily reversed by addition of NaCl. The complexes show preferential binding to 9-ethylguanine over 9-methyladenine and are active catalysts for the oxidation of NADH to NAD+. Antiproliferative activity experiments in A2780 ovarian, MCF-7 breast, A549 lung, and HCT116 colon cancer cell lines showed IC50 values ranging from 1 to 89 μM, with the most potent complex, [(η5-Cp*)Ir(2-(2'-methylphenyl)pyridine)Cl] (13) (A2780 IC50 = 1.18 μM), being 10× more active than the parent, [(η5-Cp*)Ir(2-phenylpyridine)Cl], and 2× more active than [(η5-CpxPh)Ir(2-phenylpyridine)Cl]. Intriguingly, contrasting biological activities are observed between structural isomers despite exhibiting similar chemical reactivity. For pairs of structural isomers both the nature and position of the functional group can affect the hydrophobicity of the complex. An increase in hydrophobicity resulted in enhanced cellular-iridium accumulation in A2780 ovarian cells, which generally gave rise to an increase in potency. The structural isomers [(η5-Cp*)Ir(2-(4'-fluorophenyl)pyridine)Cl] (2) and [(η5-Cp*)Ir(2-phenyl-5-fluoropyridine)Cl] (4) preferentially localized in the cytosol > membrane and particulate > nucleus > cytoskeleton. This work highlights the strong dependence of biological behavior on the nature and position of the substituent on the chelating ligand and shows how this class of organometallic anticancer complexes can be fine-tuned to increase their potency without using extended cyclopentadienyl systems.

Abstract
The family of anticancer complexes that include the transition metal copper known as Casiopeínas® shows promising results. Two of these complexes are currently in clinical trials. The interaction of these compounds with DNA has been observed experimentally and several hypotheses regarding the mechanism of action have been developed, and these include the generation of reactive oxygen species, phosphate hydrolysis and/or base-pair intercalation. To advance in the understanding on how these ligands interact with DNA, we present a molecular dynamics study of 21 Casiopeínas with a DNA dodecamer using 10 μs of simulation time for each compound. All the complexes were manually inserted into the minor groove as the starting point of the simulations. The binding energy of each complex and the observed representative type of interaction between the ligand and the DNA is reported. With this extended sampling time, we found that four of the compounds spontaneously flipped open a base pair and moved inside the resulting cavity and four compounds formed stacking interactions with the terminal base pairs. The complexes that formed the intercalation pocket led to more stable interactions.

Abstract
In 1913 Alfred Werner received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work that was of great importance for the development of coordination chemistry. In the years that followed numerous complexes consisting of metal ions and organic ligands were isolated, thus building a strong connection between inorganic and organic chemistry. Coordination compounds have many interesting properties which find diverse applications in numerous aspects of human life. Fourteeen contributions were received for this Special Issue covering very different aspects of metal complexes and their practical applications. The highest number of manuscripts deals with the biological activity of complexes which might potentially be used in the clinical practice. Authors have tested their cytotoxicity, antibacterial activity and enzyme inhibition. Their optical properties were studied in view of their potential use in photodynamic therapy. Moreover, optical properties could also be used for bioanalysis. It is also known that metal complexes are useful catalysts and a few such examples are also described herein. Many other interesting properties and facts about the isolated and described complexes are also reported (radioactivity, design of metal-organic frameworks, etc.).

Abstract
The potential carrier role of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and its interactions with oxaliplatin were studied using various spectroscopic techniques (fluorescence, UV-visible, and circular dichroism (CD)) in an aqueous medium at two temperatures of 25 and 37 °C in combination with a molecular docking study. Fluorescence measurements have shown that the observed quenching is a combination of static and dynamic quenching with a predominant contribution of static mode. The presence of a single binding site located in the internal cavity of the β-barrel of β-LG was confirmed by molecular docking calculations. Thermodynamic data as well as molecular docking indicated that the hydrophobic interactions dominate in the binding site. Results of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) measurements in combination with docking results imply that resonance energy transfer occurs between β-LG and its ligand oxaliplatin. Additionally, CD results revealed that oxaliplatin binding has no influence on the β-LG structure. The molecular docking results indicate that docking may be an appropriate method for the prediction and confirmation of experimental results. Complementary molecular docking results may be useful for the determination of the binding mechanism of proteins such as β-LG in pharmaceutical and biophysical studies providing new insight in the novel pharmacology and new solutions in the formulation of advanced oral drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Benzyl-substituted metallocarbene compounds synthesised by our group and others during the past 5 years give a new perspective on their activity as antibiotic and antitumoral drugs. N-heterocyclic carbenes containing an imidazole core were functionalised and their transition metal complexes (M = Ag, Au, Cu, Ru) have shown promising antibacterial as well as anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. IC50 values in the nanomolar region or antibacterial activity comparable to conventional antibiotics lead the way towards novel drug candidates.
