Unlike reactivity of mono- and binuclear imine-copper(II) complexes toward melanoma cells via a tyrosinase-dependent mechanism. Chem Biol Interact 2019; 311:108789. [PMID: 31401089 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2019.108789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2019] [Revised: 07/24/2019] [Accepted: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
The cytotoxicity of a dinuclear imine-copper (II) complex 2, and its analogous mononuclear complex 1, toward different melanoma cells, particularly human SKMEL-05 and SKMEL-147, was investigated. Complex 2, a tyrosinase mimic, showed much higher activity in comparison to complex 1, and its reactivity was verified to be remarkably activated by UVB-light, while the mononuclear compound showed a small or negligible effect. Further, a significant dependence on the melanin content in the tumor cells, both from intrinsic pigmentation or stimulated by irradiation, was observed in the case of complex 2. Similar tests with keratinocytes and melanocytes indicated a much lower sensitivity to both copper (II) complexes, even after exposition to UV light. Clonogenic assays attested that the fractions of melanoma cells survival were much lower under treatment with complex 2 compared to complex 1, both with or without previous irradiation of the cells. The process also involves generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as verified by EPR spectroscopy, and by using fluorescence indicators. Autophagic assays indicated a remarkable formation of cytoplasmic vacuoles in melanomas treated with complex 2, while this effect was not observed in similar treatment with complex 1. Monitoring of specific protein LC3 corroborated the simultaneous occurrence of autophagy. A balance interplay between different modes of cell death, apoptosis and autophagy, occurs when melanomas were treated with the dinuclear complex 2, in contrast to the mononuclear complex 1. These results pointed out to different mechanisms of action of such complexes, depending on its nuclearity.

Abstract
Heterometallic titanocene-based compounds containing gold(I)-phosphane fragments have been extremely successful against renal cancer in vitro and in vivo. The exchange of phosphane by N-heterocyclic carbene ligands to improve or modulate their pharmacological profile afforded bimetallic complexes effective against prostate cancer, but less effective against renal cancer in vitro. Herein we report the synthesis of new bimetallic Ti-Au compounds by the incorporation of two previously reported highly active gold(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene fragments derived from 4,5-diarylimidazoles. The two new compounds [(η5 -C5 H5 )2 TiMe(μ-mba)Au(NHC)] (where NHC=1,3-dibenzyl-4,5-diphenylimidazol-2-ylidene, NHC-Bn 2 a; or 1,3-diethyl-4,5-diphenylimidazol-2-ylidene, NHC-Et 2 b) with the dual linker (-OC(O)-p-C6 H4 -S-) containing both a carboxylate and a thiolate group were evaluated in vitro against renal and prostate cancer cell lines. The compounds were found to be more cytotoxic than previously described Ti-Au compounds containing non-optimized gold(I)-N-heterocyclic fragments. We present studies to evaluate their effects on cell death pathways, migration, inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the PC3 prostate cancer cell line. The results show that the incorporation of a second metallic fragment such as titanocene into biologically active gold(I) compounds improves their pharmacological profile.

Abstract
Platinum-based drugs have revolutionized cancer care, but are unfortunately associated with various adverse effects. Meanwhile, natural product scaffolds exhibit multifarious bioactivities and serve as an attractive resource for cancer therapy development. Thus, the conjugation of natural product scaffolds to metal complexes becomes an attractive strategy to reduce the severe side effects arising from the use of metal bearing drugs. This review aims to highlight the recent examples of natural product-conjugated metal complexes as cancer therapies with enhanced selectivity and efficacy. We discuss the mechanisms and features of different conjugate complexes and present an outlook and perspective for the future of this field.

Abstract
Since the discovery of cisplatin and its potency in anticancer therapy, the development of metallodrugs has been an active area of research. The large choice of transition metals, oxidation states, coordinating ligands, and different geometries, allows for the design of metal-based agents with unique mechanisms of action. Many metallodrugs, such as titanium, ruthenium, gallium, tin, gold, and copper-based complexes have been found to have anticancer activities. However, biological application of these agents necessitates aqueous solubility and low systemic toxicity. This minireview highlights the emerging strategies to facilitate the in vivo application of metallodrugs, aimed at enhancing their solubility and bioavailability, as well as improving their delivery to tumor tissues. The focus is on encapsulating the metal-based complexes into nanocarriers or coupling to biomacromolecules, generating efficacious anticancer therapies. The delivery systems for complexes of platinum, ruthenium, copper, and iron are discussed with most recent examples.

Abstract
Non-small lung cell carcinoma has a high morbidity and mortality rates. The elective treatment for stage III and IV is cisplatinum that conveys serious toxic side effects. Vanadium compounds are metal molecules with proven antitumor activity that depends on its valence. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism of action of vanadium compounds is required. The aim of our study was to investigate the mechanisms of cell death induced by sodium metavanadate (NaVO3 [V(+5)]) and vanadyl sulfate (VOSO4 [(+4)]), both of which have reported apoptotic-inducing activity. We exposed the A549 cell line to various concentrations (0-100 μM) and to different exposure times to each compound and determined the cell viability and expression of caspases, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, Bcl2, Bax, FasL and NO. Our results showed that neither compounds modified the basal expression of caspases or pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins. The only change observed was the 12- and 14-fold significant increase in ROS production induced by NaVO3 and VOSO4 , respectively, at 100 μm concentrations after 48 hours. Our results suggest that classical apoptotic mechanisms are not related to the cell death induced by the vanadium compounds evaluated here, and showed that the higher ROS production was induced by the [(+4)] valence compound. It is possible that the difference will be secondary to its higher oxidative status and thus higher ROS production, which leads to higher cell damage. In conclusion, our results suggest that the efficacy of the cell death mechanisms induced by vanadium compounds differ depending on the valence of the compound.

Seleno-l-methionine and l-ascorbic acid differentiate the biological activity of doxorubicin and its metal complexes as a new anticancer drugs candidate. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2018; 48:141-148. [PMID: 29773172 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2018.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2017] [Revised: 03/16/2018] [Accepted: 03/23/2018] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
The most important problems of anti-cancer therapy include the toxicity of the drugs applied to healthy cells and the multi-drug cells resistance to chemotherapeutics. One of the most commonly used anticancer drugs is doxorubicin (DOX) used to treat certain leukemias and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, as well as bladder, breast, stomach, lung, ovarian, thyroid, multiple myeloma and other cancers. Preliminary studies showed that metal complex with DOX improve its cytostatic activity with changes in their molecular structure and distribution of electrons, resulting in a substantial change of its biological activity (including antitumor activity). Thus, there is a chance to receiving derivatives of DOX with low toxicity for the healthy body cells, thus increasing its therapeutic selectivity. In the present study we examined the influence of Mn, Mg, Fe, Co and Ni, seleno-l-methionine and vitamin C on biological activity of DOX in prokaryotic model - Escherichia coli RFM443, with plasmid transcriptional fusion of recA promoter and luxCDABE as a reporter gene. Cytotoxic potency of tested chemicals was calculated on the basis of the bacteria culture growth inhibition (GI%) values. Genotoxic properties were calculated on the basis of the fold increase (FI) of relative luminescence units (RLU) values compared to control. Obtained results showed that doxorubicin metal complexes particularly with Ni, Co and Fe increased the cyto- and genotoxic activities of DOX. Bacteria culture supplemented with SeMet and vitamin C differentiate the DOX and its metal complexes toxicity. It seems, that DOX-Ni, DOX-Fe and DOX-Co complexes could be potent cytostatic drug candidates. Moreover, we noticed different sensitivity of recA::luxCDABE for 3 h and 24 h cultures of bacteria strain. It suggests, that the potency of genetic construct reactivity- recA::luxCDABE in E. coli depends on the growth-phase of bacterial culture.

Abstract
Agents inducing both apoptosis and autophagic death can be effective chemotherapeutic drugs. In our present work, we synthesized two organometallic gold(III) complexes harboring C^N ligands that structurally resemble tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ): Cyc-Au-1 (AuL1Cl2, L1 = 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine) and Cyc-Au-2 (AuL2Cl2, L2 = methylenedioxyphenethylamine). In screening their in vitro activity, we found both gold complexes exhibited lower toxicity, lower resistance factors, and better anticancer activity than those of cisplatin. The organometallic gold(III) complexes accumulate in mitochondria and induce elevated ROS and an ER stress response through mitochondrial dysfunction. These effects ultimately result in simultaneous apoptosis and autophagy. Importantly, compared to cisplatin, Cyc-Au-2 exhibits lower toxicity and better anticancer activity in a murine tumor model. To the best of our knowledge, Cyc-Au-2 is the first organometallic Au(III) compound that induces apoptosis and autophagic death. On the basis of our results, we believe Cyc-Au-2 to be a promising anticancer agent or lead compound for further anticancer drug development.
