Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent that is clinically approved to fight both carcinomas and sarcomas. It has relatively high efficiency in treating ovarian cancers and metastatic testicular cancers. It is generally accepted that the major mechanism of cisplatin anti-cancer action is DNA damage. However, cisplatin is also effective in metastatic cancers and should, therefore, affect slow-cycling cancer stem cells in some way. In this review, we focused on the alternative effects of cisplatin that can support a good therapeutic response. First, attention was paid to the effects of cisplatin at the cellular level such as changes in intracellular pH and cellular mechanical properties. Alternative cellular targets of cisplatin, and the effects of cisplatin on cancer cell metabolism and ER stress were also discussed. Furthermore, the impacts of cisplatin on the tumor microenvironment and in the whole organism context were reviewed. In this review, we try to reveal possible causes of the unexpected effectiveness of this anti-cancer drug.

Abstract
The synthesis and structural characterization of novel platinum complexes ([PtII(Pz)2Cl2] - C1, C2 and C3) featuring diphenyl-pyrazole derived ligands: para-fluorophenyl and para-substituted phenyl (CH3, F and Cl for L1, L2 and L3, respectively) were reported and it was also evaluated their potential antitumor activity. The elemental, molar conductivity and thermogravimetric analysis combined with FTIR, UV-vis, NMR and mass spectrometry are in agreement with the chemical structure indicated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The antiproliferative activities were assessed against tumor (B16F10 and 4T1) and non-tumor (BHK21) cell lines, and the cytotoxicity of the compounds was strongly increased after metal complexation displaying promising activity. It was also assessed the ability of extracellular bovine serum albumin (BSA) and glutathione (GSH) to decrease the cytotoxicity of the complexes against B16F10. It was highlighted that only the C3 activity was not disturbed in those conditions, being confirmed by flow cytometry using Anexin-V/PI to evaluate interferences in the apoptosis process, even it was not predicted by molecular docking simulations. The interaction of the synthesized compounds with calf-thymus DNA (ctDNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was also investigated through spectrophotometric assays and molecular docking simulations, indicating that C1 and C2 presented better interaction with the biomacromolecules than the corresponding ligands. In addition, agarose gel electrophoresis with plasmid DNA revealed that C1-C3 are capable of interaction with DNA and modify its electrophoretic mobility.

Abstract
Cisplatin can directly bind to the RING finger domain of MDM2, leading to the zinc-release and protein unfolding. Consequently, cisplatin inhibits the MDM2-mediated ubiquitination, which is the molecular basis of p53 activation. This work provides insight into the cisplatin-induced p53-elevation that is involved in cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Targeted anticancer prodrugs that can be controllably activated are highly desired for personalized precision medicine in cancer therapy. Such prodrugs with unique action modes are also promising to overcome drug resistance. Herein, we report coumaplatin, an oxaliplatin-based and photocaged Pt(IV) prodrug, to realize nuclear accumulation along with "on-demand" activation. This prodrug is based on a Pt(IV) complex that can be efficiently photoactivated via water oxidation without the requirement of a reducing agent. Coumaplatin accumulates very efficiently in the nucleoli, and upon photoactivation, this prodrug exhibits a level of photocytotoxicity up to 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of oxaliplatin. Unexpectedly, this prodrug presents strikingly enhanced tumor penetration ability and utilizes a distinct action mode to overcome drug resistance; i.e., coumaplatin but not oxaliplatin induces cell senescence, p53-independent cell death, and immunogenic cell death along with T cell activation. Our findings not only provide a novel strategy for the rational design of controllably activated and nucleolus-targeted Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs but also demonstrate that accumulating conventional platinum drugs to the nucleus is a practical way to change its canonical mechanism of action and to achieve reduced resistance.

Abstract
RAS-RAF pathway presents a valuable target for the cancer treatment due to its important roles in the regulation of tumor proliferation, apoptosis and the obtained resistance. To explore such target a RAS/CRAF interference agent, was therefore conjugated with Pt(IV) prodrugs via ester bond, resulting in total eleven multifunctional Pt(IV) complexes. The complexes could target genomic DNA and disrupt the signaling transduction from RAS protein to CRAF so that block the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Experiments in vitro indicated that all of the Pt(IV) complexes showed potent anti-tumor activity with IC50 values ranged from 8 nM to 22.55 μM, which were significantly improved as compared with cisplatin (CDDP) whose IC50 values ranged from 5.45 μM to 9.05 μM. Among them, 26 exerted the best anti-tumor activity in vitro, which not only exhibited excellent cytotoxicity against normal tumor cells, but also against CDDP-resistance cell lines (e.g. A549/CDDP and SKOV-3/CDDP). Importantly, 26 only showed little effect on normal cell lines such as HUEVC and LO2. Besides, the following biological mechanisms studies demonstrated that 26 could efficiently enter. A549 cells, significantly arrest cell cycle at G2/M phase, disrupt the signaling pathway and trigger endogenous caspase apoptosis pathway. Furthermore, results of a xenograft subcutaneous model of A549 tumor showed that 26 could effectively decrease tumor growth rates without causing loss of bodyweight.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Because of its high recurrence rate and heterogeneity, effective treatment for advanced stage of HCC is currently lacking. There are accumulating evidences showing the therapeutic potential of pharmacologic vitamin C (VC) on HCC. However, the metabolic basis underlying the anticancer property of VC remains to be elucidated. In this study, we used a high-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics technique to assess the global metabolic changes in HCC cells following VC treatment. In addition, the HCC cells were also treated with oxaliplatin (OXA) to explore the potential synergistic effect induced by the combined VC and OXA treatment. The current metabolomics data suggested different mechanisms of OXA and VC in modulating cell growth and metabolism. In general, VC treatment led to inhibition of energy metabolism via NAD+ depletion and amino acid deprivation. On the other hand, OXA caused significant perturbation in phospholipid biosynthesis and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis pathways. The current results highlighted glutathione metabolism, and pathways related to succinate and choline may play central roles in conferring the combined effect between OXA and VC. Taken together, this study provided metabolic evidence of VC and OXA in treating HCC and may contribute toward the potential application of combined VC and OXA as complementary HCC therapies.

Abstract
Four new heteroleptic silver(I) complexes with the general formula [Ag(L1-4)(nap)] (1-4), where L1-4 = 2-(1-(4-substitutedphenyl)ethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide and nap = naproxen, have been synthesized and characterized. The geometric parameters determined from density functional theory and UV-Vis studies indicate distorted tetrahedral geometry around silver(I) ion. Fourier transform infrared (FT IR) spectra evidenced asymmetric bidentate coordination mode of carboxyl oxygen atoms of naproxen with silver(I) ion. The complexes are stable for 72 h and biocompatibility was analysed towards normal human dermal fibroblast cells, which showed non-toxic nature up to 100 ng/ml. In vitro anti-proliferative activity of the complexes by MTT assay was tested against three human cancerous cell lines and one non-tumorigenic human breast epithelial cell line (MCF-10a) in which the complex 4 exhibited enhanced activity. The morphological changes observed by acridine orange/ethidium bromide and Hoechst 33258 staining method reveal apoptosis-inducing ability of the complexes. The molecular docking studies suggest hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and π-pair interactions with the active site of epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 and lipoxygenase receptors.

Abstract
Over time platinum-based anticancer drugs have dominated the market, but their side effects significantly impact the quality of life of patients. Alternative treatments are being developed all over the world. The titanocene and auranofin families of compounds, discovered through an empirical search for other metal-based therapeutics, hold tremendous promise to improve the outcomes of cancer treatment. Herein we present a historical perspective of these compounds and review current efforts focused on the evolution of their ligands to improve their physiological solution stability, cancer selectivity, and antiproliferative performance, guided by a clear understanding of the coordination chemistry and aqueous speciation of the metal ions, of the cytotoxic mechanism of action of the compounds, and the external factors that limit their therapeutic potential. Newer members of these families of compounds and their combination in novel bimetallic complexes are the result of years of scientific research. We believe that this review can have a positive impact in the development and understanding of the metal-based drugs of gold, titanium, and beyond.

Abstract
On account of the acquired drug resistance, the potency of cisplatin-based chemotherapy is far from satisfactory in rectal cancer. Increasing evidence has highlighted the crucial function of aberrantly expressed lncRNAs on the cisplatin resistance in multiple cancers. This research was the first attempt to decipher the underlying function and mechanism of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 461 (LINC00461) in rectal cancer and also its relation to cisplatin resistance of rectal cancer. Data from this study revealed that LINC00461 expression was upregulated in rectal cancer cells. LINC00461 depletion restrained rectal cancer progression and sensitized rectal cancer cells to cisplatin. Molecular mechanism assays testified that LINC00461 bound with miR-593-5p. Besides, miR-593-5p upregulation improved the sensitivity of rectal cancer cells to cisplatin. Additionally, cyclin D1 (CCND1) was manifested to be a downstream target of miR-593-5p. Furthermore, CCND1 upregulation could reverse the effect of LINC00461 downregulation on rectal cancer progression and cisplatin resistance of rectal cancer. To sum up, LINC00461 mediates cisplatin resistance of rectal cancer by targeting miR-593-5p/CCND1 axis, shedding new light on the treatment of rectal cancer.

Abstract
Background Cancer is a disease with an enormous worldwide impact. One of the fatal complications in cancer patients are bacterial opportunistic infections. The use of chemotherapeutic drugs made cancer remission more frequent and prolonged patient survival, but, increased the risk of infections. Purpose Address the current problem with growing pandemic cancer and considering high risks of complications with bacterial infections, the present study synthesized novel dendritic assembly of silver (Ag)-platinum (Pt) nanoparticles. Methods Nanoparticles were characterized by TEM analysis, and the composition was confirmed by EDX. Bacterial studies were performed for Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram-negative multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli. Cell experiments were performed with two different cancer cell lines, glioblastoma and melanoma to determine anticancer activity. Finally, cytotoxicity with fibroblast was tested. Results The TEM analysis of silver-platinum (AgPt) nanoparticles showed dendrimer shape nanoparticles with a mean size of 42 ± 11nm. Elemental composition was analyzed by EDX, confirming the presence of both Ag and Pt metals. The synthesized nanoparticles significantly inhibited the growth of medically important pathogenic, Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram-negative multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli. Bactericidal effect of AgPt nanoparticles had greater effectiveness than silver nanoparticles. MTS assay revealed a selective and dose-dependent anticancer activity of AgPt nanoparticles over cancer cell lines glioblastoma and melanoma in the 10–250 µg/mL concentration range. Cytotoxicity experiments with fibroblast cells showed no side effects of nanoparticles against healthy cells at a range of concentrations from 10–50 µg/mL. Conclusion The newly synthesized AgPt nanoparticles have a promising future as a potent anticancer agent with antibacterial properties.

[PMID: 31931771 PMCID: PMC6958770 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-019-1035-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Accepted: 12/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the acquired drug resistance, the potency of cisplatin-based chemotherapy is limited in lung cancer, which is a big obstacle in clinical treatment of lung cancer. Abundant evidence has revealed that circular RNAs (circRNAs) exerted facilitating or suppressive function on the tumorigenesis of multiple cancers. The oncogenic role of circ-ABCB10 in breast cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma has been validated in recent researches. However, the regulatory mechanism of circ-ABCB10 and its relation to cellular sensitivity to cisplatin in lung cancer is poorly understood. METHODS The expression and characteristic of circ-ABCB10 were analyzed by RT-qPCR and nucleic acid electrophoresis. CCK-8, colony formation, TUNEL and transwell assays were applied to probe the role of FOXD3-AS1 in lung cancer. The interactions of miR-556-3p with circ-ABCB10 and AK4 were testified by luciferase reporter and RIP assays. RESULTS Circ-ABCB10 was markedly upregulated and featured with loop structure in lung cancer. Circ-ABCB10 depletion suppresses lung cancer progression and sensitizes lung cancer cells to cisplatin. Molecular mechanism assays manifested that circ-ABCB10 bound with miR-556-3p and negatively modulated miR-556-3p expression. Additionally, AK4 was testified to be the downstream target of miR-556-3p. More importantly, rescue assays clarified that upregulation of AK4 could reverse the cisplatin-sensitizing and tumor-suppressing effect of circ-ABCB10 knockdown on lung cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS Circ-ABCB10 knockdown enhances sensitivity of lung cancer cells to cisplatin by targeting miR-556-3p/AK4 axis.

Abstract
Site-specific recognition of DNA modification or the formation of noncanonical structures has important applications in molecular biology, disease diagnosis, and gene expression analysis. In this study, we introduce a guanine-guided sensing tool using a terbium(III)-platinum(II) complex (TPC) as a time-resolved luminescence probe to site-specifically recognize DNA modification and i-motif formation in aqueous solution. The probe is composed of a TbIII center as the luminescent reporter and two PtII units as the receptor for guanine (G) nucleobase. TPC exhibits remarkable reaction selectivity for guanine nucleotides over other nucleotides, giving rise to a significant increase in luminescence. The luminescence enhancement of TPC is mainly attributed to an energy transfer from G base to the TbIII center after the specific coordination of PtII with N7 of guanine (N7-G), which would be facilitated by the phosphates through promoting the departure of coordinated water and bringing G closer to TbIIIvia noncovalent interactions. Based on such sensing feature, the enhanced luminescence of TPC sensitized by G nucleotides can correspondingly decrease upon N7-G modifications of DNA or i-motif formation through constructing simple guanine-guided sensing tools. This probe would provide a useful strategy for site-specific recognition of DNA for extensive purposes.

Abstract
Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds of natural origin. They are extensively studied within drug discovery programs due to their wide ranging biological activities such as antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitumor, neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties. The ability of flavonoids to coordinate with metal atoms has provided new leads for drug discovery programs, with better pharmacological activities and clinical profiles than the parent flavonoids. In this review, the enhanced antioxidant and anticancer activities of flavonoid metal complexes versus the parent flavonoids are discussed. Possible mechanisms of action for the metal complexes, such as DNA binding and apoptosis induction, are also presented alongside an overview of the synthesis of the metal complexes, and the different techniques used for their characterization.

Abstract
Background DNA damage repair is an important mechanism of platinum resistance. HOXB7 is one member of HOX family genes, which are essential developmental regulators and frequently dysregulated in cancer. Recently, its relevance in chemotherapy resistance and DNA damage repair has also been addressed. However, little is known regarding the association between HOXB7 and chemotherapy resistance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Methods The association between HOXB7 expression detected by immunohistochemisty and tumor regression grade (TRG) and long‐term survival was analyzed in 143 ESCC patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. CCK8 assay was used to examine the effect of cisplatin in a panel of four ESCC cell lines. A stable cell strain with HOXB7 knockdown of KYSE150 and KYSE450 was established to explore the effect on cisplatin sensitivity. The interaction of HOXB7 with Ku70, Ku80 and DNA‐PKcs was determined by GST‐pull down, coimmunoprecipitation and immunofluorescent colocalization. Finally, we investigated whether disrupting HOXB7 function by a synthetic peptide HXR9 blocking the formation of HOXB7/PBX could enhance cisplatin sensitivity in vitro and in vivo. Results High expression of HOXB7 was associated with cisplatin resistance and worse chemotherapy efficacy. HOXB7 knockdown reinforced cisplatin sensitivity. It was identified that HOXB7 interacts with Ku70, Ku80 and DNA‐PKcs. HOXB7 knockdown was related to the downregulation of Ku70, Ku80 and DNA‐PKcs as well as arrested cell cycle in S phase. HOXB7 inhibition by HXR9 had a synergistic effect to improve cisplatin sensitivity. Conclusion HOXB7 may be a biomarker for the prediction of chemoresistance of ESCC and serves as a promising therapeutic target.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP) is one of the most important chemotherapeutic drugs in modern oncology. However, its use is limited by severe toxicities, which impair life quality after cancer. Here, we investigated the role of organic cation transporters (OCT) in mediating toxicities associated with chronic (twice the week for 4 weeks) low-dose (4 mg/kg body weight) CDDP treatment (resembling therapeutic protocols in patients) of wild-type (WT) mice and mice with OCT genetic deletion (OCT1/2-/-). Functional and molecular analysis showed that OCT1/2-/- mice are partially protected from CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity and peripheral neurotoxicity, whereas ototoxicity was not detectable. Surprisingly, proteomic analysis of the kidneys demonstrated that genetic deletion of OCT1/2 itself was associated with significant changes in expression of proinflammatory and profibrotic proteins which are part of an OCT-associated protein network. This signature directly regulated by OCT consisted of three classes of proteins, viz., profibrotic proteins, proinflammatory proteins, and nutrient sensing molecules. Consistent with functional protection, CDDP-induced proteome changes were more severe in WT mice than in OCT1/2-/- mice. Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis demonstrated that the presence of OCT was not associated with higher renal platinum concentrations. Taken together, these results redefine the role of OCT from passive membrane transporters to active modulators of cell signaling in the kidney.

Abstract
The cell nucleus-targeted delivery of therapeutic agents plays a critical role in cancer therapy, since the biological target of many anticancer therapeutics is the cell nucleus. However, multiple physiological barriers limit the delivery efficiency of free drugs, resulting in unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. Herein, thioketal crosslinked polyphosphoester-based nanoparticles with a tumor acidity (pHe )-sensitive transactivator of transcription (TAT) peptide (DA-masked TAT-decorating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive Ce6/DOX-loaded hyperbranched nanoparticles (D TRCD)) are explored for cascade nucleus-targeted drug delivery. Following administration, D TRCD experiences prolonged circulation by masking the targeting effect of its TAT peptide and then achieves enhanced tumor cell uptake and improved translocation into the perinuclear region by reactivating the TAT targeting capability in tumor tissue. Subsequently, ROS generated by D TRCD under 660 nm laser not only disrupts the nuclear membrane to allow entry into the nuclei but also triggers intracellular release of the payload in the nuclei. As evidenced by in vivo experiments, such pHe /photo dual-sensitive polymeric nanocarriers offer remarkable therapeutic effects, efficiently suppressing tumor growth. This multistage cascade nucleus-targeted drug delivery concept provides new avenues to develop nucleus-targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Combination chemotherapy has attracted more and more attention in the field of anticancer treatment. Herein, a synergetic targeted combination chemotherapy of doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin in breast cancer was realized by HER2 antibody-decorated nanoparticles assembled from aldehyde hyaluronic acid (AHA) and hydroxyethyl chitosan (HECS). Cisplatin and DOX were successively conjugated onto AHA through chelation and Schiff's base reaction, respectively, forming DOX/cisplatin-loaded AHA inner core. The core was sequentially complexed with HECS and targeting HER2 antibody-conjugated AHA. The formed near-spherical nanoplatform had an average size of ∼160 nm and a zeta potential of -28 mV and displayed pH-responsive surface charge reversal and drug release behaviors. HER2 receptor-mediated active targeting significantly enhanced the cellular uptake of nanoplatform. Importantly, DOX and cisplatin exhibited a synergistic cell-killing effect in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. These results clearly indicate that the novel nanoplatform is promising for synergistic combination chemotherapy of breast cancer.

Abstract
2,6-Bis(thiazol-2-yl)pyridines functionalized with 9-anthryl (L1), 9-phenanthryl (L2), and 1-pyrenyl (L3) groups were used for the preparation of [Pt(Ln)Cl]CF3SO3 (1-3). The constitution of the Pt(ii) complexes was determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, HR-MS spectrometry, elemental analysis and X-ray analysis (for (1)). The electrochemical and photophysical properties of [Pt(Ln)Cl]CF3SO3 were compared with the behaviour of the Pt(ii) complexes with aryl-substituted 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligands. What is noteworthy is that the coordination ability of dtpy toward the Pt(ii) centre was investigated for the first time. All complexes were tested in vitro by MTS assay on four tumor cell lines, A2780 (ovarian carcinoma), HTC116 (colon rectal carcinoma), MCF7 (breast adenocarcinoma), and PC3 (prostate carcinoma) and on normal primary fibroblasts. Compounds (1-3) showed a dose dependent antiproliferative effect in the A2780 cell line with (3) > (2) > (1) and this loss of A2780 cell viability was due to a combination of an apoptotic cell death mechanism via mitochondria and autophagic cell death. Exposure to IC50 concentration of (2) induced an increase in the number of apoptotic nuclei and a depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane which is consistent with the induction of apoptosis while exposure to IC50 concentration of (3) showed an increase in the apoptotic nuclei with a slight hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial membrane that might indicate an initial step of apoptosis induction. The complexes (2) and (3) induce an increase in the production of intracellular ROS which is associated with the trigger of the apoptotic pathways. The ROS production was augmented by the presence of oxidants and correlated with an increase of oxygen radicals. The IC50 of (2) and (3) (4.4 μM and 2.9 μM, respectively) was similar to the IC50 of cisplatin (3.4 μM) in the A2780 cell line, which together with their low cytotoxicity in normal fibroblasts, demonstrates their potential for further studies.

Abstract
Tamoxifen (TAM) is a first generation-SERM administered for hormone receptor-positive (HER+) breast cancer in both pre- and post-menopausal patients and may undergo metabolic activation in organisms that share similar receptors and thus face comparable mechanisms of response. The present study aimed to assess whether environmental trace concentrations of TAM are bioavailable to the filter feeder M. galloprovincialis (100 ng L-1) and to the deposit feeder N. diversicolor (0.5, 10, 25 and 100 ng L-1) after 14 days of exposure. Behavioural impairment (burrowing kinetic), neurotoxicity (AChE activity), endocrine disruption by alkali-labile phosphate (ALP) content, oxidative stress (SOD, CAT, GPXs activities), biotransformation (GST activity), oxidative damage (LPO) and genotoxicity (DNA damage) were assessed. Moreover, this study also pertained to compare TAM cytotoxicity effects to mussels and targeted human (i.e. immortalized retinal pigment epithelium - RPE; and human transformed endothelial cells - HeLa) cell lines, in a range of concentrations from 0.5 ng L-1 to 50 μg L-1. In polychaetes N. diversicolor, TAM exerted remarkable oxidative stress and damage at the lowest concentration (0.5 ng L-1), whereas significant genotoxicity was reported at the highest exposure level (100 ng L-1). In mussels M. galloprovincialis, 100 ng L-1 TAM caused endocrine disruption in males, neurotoxicity, and an induction in GST activity and LPO byproducts in gills, corroborating in genotoxicity over the exposure days. Although cytotoxicity assays conducted with mussel haemocytes following in vivo exposure was not effective, in vitro exposure showed to be a feasible alternative, with comparable sensitivity to human cell line (HeLa).

Abstract
Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the mainstay of cancer treatment. Conventional chemotherapeutic agents do not distinguish between normal and neoplastic cells. This leads to severe toxic side effects, which may necessitate the discontinuation of treatment in some patients. Recent research has identified key molecular events in the initiation and progression of cancer, promoting the design of targeted therapies to selectively kill tumor cells while sparing normal cells. Although, the side effects of such drugs are typically milder than conventional chemotherapies, some off-target effects still occur. Another serious challenge with all chemotherapies is the acquisition of chemoresistance upon prolonged exposure to the drug. Therefore, identifying supplementary agents that sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis and help minimize drug resistance would be valuable for improving patient tolerance and response to chemotherapy. The use of effective supplementary agents provides a twofold advantage in combination with standard chemotherapy. First, by augmenting the activity of the chemotherapeutic drug it can lower the dose needed to kill tumor cells and decrease the incidence and severity of treatment-limiting side effects. Second, adjuvant therapies that lower the effective dose of chemotherapy may delay/prevent the development of chemoresistance in tumors. Capsaicinoids, a major class of phytochemical compounds isolated from chili peppers, have been shown to improve the efficacy of several anti-cancer drugs in cell culture and animal models. The present chapter summarizes the current knowledge about the chemosensitizing activity of capsaicinoids with conventional and targeted chemotherapeutic drugs, highlighting the potential use of capsaicinoids in novel combination therapies to improve the therapeutic indices of conventional and targeted chemotherapeutic drugs in human cancers.

Abstract
New palladacyclopentadienyl complexes with bis-N-heterocyclic carbenes as spectator ligands have been synthesized and exhaustively characterized. The crystal structure of complex 1a has been also determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Their in vitro cytotoxicity and that of other palladacyclopentadienyl derivatives coordinating different ancillary ligands has been determined against different cancer cell lines. Many complexes have shown an antiproliferative activity toward tumor cells often definitely better than cisplatin, whereas they have resulted practically inactive against the non-cancer MRC-5 cell line. The mechanism of action of bis-NHC derivative 1a, particularly active against ovarian cancer cell lines was studied in depth. Through a longitudinally analysis, it is shown that compound 1a induces apoptosis via DNA damage and release of cytochrome C. We propose compound 1a as a powerful and specific drug for the therapy of a deadly disease such as high grade serous ovarian cancer.

Abstract
In order to make a progress in discovering a new agents for chemotherapy with improved properties and bearing in mind the fact that substituted 3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones belong to a class of biologically active compounds, series of novel 1,5-diaryl-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones were synthesized and characterized by spectral (UV-Vis, IR, NMR, ESI-MS), X-ray and elemental analysis. All compounds were examined for their cytotoxic effect on human cancer cell lines HeLa and MDA-MB 231 and normal fibroblasts (MRC-5). Four compounds, 3-hydroxy-1-(p-tolyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D10), 3-hydroxy-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D13), 3-hydroxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D14), and 3-hydroxy-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(2-thienylcarbonyl)-5-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-2-one (D15), that showed the highest cytotoxicity against malignant cells and the best selectivity towards normal cells were selected for further experiments. Results obtained by investigating mechanisms of cytotoxic activity suggest that selected 3-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one derivatives in HeLa cells induce apoptosis that is associated with S phase arrest (D13, D15, and D10) or unrelated to cell cycle distribution (D14). Additionally, to better understand their suitability for potential use as anticancer medicaments we studied the interactions between biomacromolecules (DNA or BSA) and D13 and D15. The results indicated that D13 and D15 have great affinity to displace EB from the EB-DNA complex through intercalation [Ksv = (3.7 ± 0.1) and (3.4 ± 0.1) × 103 M-1, respectively], an intercalative mode also confirmed through viscosity measurements. Ka values, obtained as result of fluorescence titration of BSA with D13 and D15 [Ka = (4.2 ± 0.2) and (2.6 ± 0.2) × 105 M, respectively], support the fact that a significant amount of the tested compounds could be transported and distributed through the cells. In addition, by DNA and BSA molecular docking study for D13, D14 and D15 is determined and predicted the binding mode and the interaction region.

Abstract
As FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agents, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and 5-fluorouracil are widely used in clinic but limited by severe side-effects. To ameliorate their respective defects, a series of "dual-prodrug" by linking oxoplatin and 5-FU were designed and synthesized. The assembled compounds 10-17, named Fuplatin, exhibited much higher cytotoxicity against the tested cancer cells while lower cytotoxicity toward the human normal lung cells than free drugs or their combinations. Among them, 14 enhanced cellular accumulation with 62- and 825-fold amount of oxaliplatin and 8 at 9 h, respectively, significantly induced DNA damage and cell apoptosis, and inhibited migration and invasion in HCT-116 cells. Compound 14 arrested the cell cycle at S and G2 phases and up-regulated thymidylate synthase and p53, consistent with the results of the combination, suggesting 14 adopted a collaborative mode of 5-FU and oxaliplatin to kill cancer cells. In vivo, compound 14 showed high antitumor effect and no observable toxicity in NOD/SCID mice bearing HCT-116 tumors.

Abstract
The study is focused on the synthesis of a novel complex of ibuprofen and Platinum(II). The formation of the product was characterized through analytical tools including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry as well as density functional theory. Using the continuous variation method, the stoichiometry of Pt(HIb)2(Cl)2 binding on DNA (ct-DNA) determines as a single class of binding. Based on the results of Stern-Volmer analysis on the fluorescence quenching data, the quenching mechanism was determined to be static in nature. The studies indicated that the complex could bind DNA molecules via groove binding for four major reasons. Initially, the complex-DNA binding constant determined based on spectrophotometric data were found to be comparable to those of groove-binding drugs. In addition, the competitive fluorimetric based on the applications of Hoechst 33258 proved the ability of Pt(HIb)2(Cl)2 to displace with Hoechst in its DNA-bounded form, reflecting the competition between Pt(HIb)2(Cl)2 and Hoechst for groove binding. Further, no considerable changes were observed in the intensity of the methylene blue (MB)-DNA system after adding the Pt(HIb)2(Cl)2 complex, reflecting the stability of MB molecules in the DNA helix and a non-intercalative bonds of Pt(HIb)2(Cl)2 interaction on DNA. Finally, minor changes in the viscosity of DNA in the presence of Pt(HIb)2(Cl)2, indicated that changes in the length of DNA in the presence of the complex are negligible, supporting the assumption of DNA groove-binding. Also induced CD spectral changes and docking simulations were in favor of the groove mechanism for the Pt(HIb)2(Cl)2-DNA binding.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Cisplatin or (SP-4-2)-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II) is one of the most potential and widely used drugs for the treatment of various solid cancers such as testicular, ovarian, head and neck, bladder, lung, cervical cancer, melanoma, lymphomas and several others. Cisplatin exerts anticancer activity via multiple mechanisms but its most acceptable mechanism involves generation of DNA lesions by interacting with purine bases on DNA followed by activation of several signal transduction pathways which finally lead to apoptosis. However, side effects and drug resistance are the two inherent challenges of cisplatin which limit its application and effectiveness. Reduction of drug accumulation inside cancer cells, inactivation of drug by reacting with glutathione and metallothioneins and faster repairing of DNA lesions are responsible for cisplatin resistance. To minimize cisplatin side effects and resistance, combination therapies are used and have proven more effective to defect cancers. This article highlights a systematic description on cisplatin which includes a brief history, synthesis, action mechanism, resistance, uses, side effects and modulation of side effects. It also briefly describes development of platinum drugs from very small cisplatin complex to very large next generation nanocarriers conjugated platinum complexes.

Abstract
The photoinduced ligand exchange reaction of Ru(II) complexes in aqueous solution was studied using density functional theory (DFT). The optimized structures of the lowest triplet state of cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CH3CN)2]2+ (bpy = bipyridine), cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NH3)2]2+, and their monoaqua complexes were analyzed. The metal-centered (3MC) structure was lower than the metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3MLCT) structure for cis-[Ru(bpy)2(CH3CN)2]2+, whereas the 3MLCT structure was lower than the 3MC structure for cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NH3)2]2+. Such a difference would correlate with the higher quantum yield of the former complex. For the monoaqua complexes, the most stable local minimum structure was the 3MC structure, in which the Ru-OH2O and Ru-Nbpy ( trans to the oxygen) bonds were elongated. Therefore, the dissociation of the H2O ligand would be preferred to that of the CH3CN (or NH3) ligand from the monoaqua intermediate, which might result in the reformation of the monoaqua intermediate, and thus, the formation of the bis-aqua product would take a longer time than that of the monoaqua intermediate.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the dinucleating ligands 1,2-bis(2-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)phenoxy)ethane (L1) and 1,2-bis(2-(1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1, 10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)phenoxy)hexane (L2) and their dinuclear complexes [Pt2(L1)Cl4] (1) and [Pt2(L2)Cl4] (2) and the in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes against HeLa, HepG2, and MCF-7 cell lines are reported. Ligand L1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with the space group Pbca. The complexes 1 and 2 undergo aquation following first-order kinetics. The MTT and trypan blue assays indicate higher cytotoxicity of the complexes towards the HepG2 and MCF-7 cell lines compared to cisplatin. The AO/EB assay and flow cytometry by Annexin V alexa fluor®488/PI double staining assay demonstrate distinct morphological changes of apoptosis in a dose dependent manner. The cell cycle analysis shows a marked decrease in the DNA content in the G0/G1 phase with an increase in the G2/M phase on increasing the concentration of the complexes. The potential of the complexes as anticancer agents is demonstrated by their antiproliferative activity on the cell lines. The complexes interact with the major groove of DNA through H-bonding between the imidazole N-H protons and the nucleotide residues DC`21/N4 (cytosine) for complex 1 and DT`7/O2 (thymine) and DT`19/O2 (thymine) for complex 2, with the binding energy of - 1.98 and - 4.45 kcal/mol, respectively. Dinuclear Pt(II) complexes of imidazophenanthroline-based dinucleating ligands exhibit antiproliferative activity against HeLa, HepG2, and MCF-7 cell lines.

Abstract
Although platinum-based anticancer drugs prevail in cancer treatment, their clinical applications are limited by the severe side effects as well as their ineffectiveness against drug resistant cancers. A precise combination of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapy can synergistically improve the therapeutic outcome and thereby may overcome drug resistance through a multipronged assault. Herein, we employ the well-defined cavity of a discrete organoplatinum(II) metallacage (M) to encapsulate octaethylporphine (OEP), a photosensitizer, forming a dual-functionalized system M⊃OEP that is wrapped into the hydrophobic core of the nanoparticles (MNPs) self-assembled from an amphiphilic diblock copolymer. Using a copper-free click reaction, a targeting ligand is conjugated on the surface of the MNPs, aiming to specifically deliver a chemotherapeutic drug and a photosensitizer to cancer cells. Benefiting from the enhanced permeability and retention effect and active targeting capability, high tumor accumulation of MNPs is achieved, leading to an improved therapeutic outcome and reduced side effects. In vivo studies demonstrate that the combination of chemotherapy and PDT exhibits a superior antitumor performance against a drug-resistant tumor model attributed to their synergistic anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
In this study, we developed and validated a new proposed parameter quantifying the interaction strength between natural and/or synthetic molecules with paramagnetic metal ions. The Metal ion Recognition Index, Miri, is a quantitative parameter to describe the proton environment and to define their involvement in the inner and/or outer sphere of the paramagnetic metal ion. The method is based on the analysis of NMR proton spin-lattice relaxation rates of a specific ligand in both the diamagnetic and paramagnetic conditions. The proposed procedure is also useful to calculate the ligand proton spin-lattice relaxation rate in the paramagnetic bound conditions, which is typically very difficult to determine experimentally. Miri was used to compare the ligand proton involvement toward different paramagnetic species, in particular the Copper(II)-Piroxicam system. Copper(II)-Piroxicam complex is one of the most active anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic species. Miri provides an opportunity to improve our knowledge of metal-ligand complexes that play a fundamental role in bioinorganic interactions.

Abstract
Recently, the incidence of lung cancer is generally rising along with air pollution and smoking, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for nearly 85% among all lung cancer diagnoses. With the development of chemotherapy, the drug resistance rate of common platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs (like cisplatin) is gradually increased, which seriously affects the chemotherapy efficiency and survival rate of patients. In this study, polyethylenimine caged platinum nanoclusters (PEI-caged Pt NCs) were proposed as a new chemotherapeutic agent to apply in the treatment of NSCLC, choosing the classical cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP cells and normal A549 cells as targets. It was found that our Pt NCs-based chemotherapeutic drugs showed its preferable therapeutic effect in cisplatin-resistant NSCLC through the results of confocal microscopic images, cell counting kit-8 test, cell apoptosis assay and western blot. Most importantly, in the cisplatin-resistance A549/DDP cells, this kind of agents could enter the nucleus obviously, and emerged a superior inhibitory and apoptotic effects than A549 via activating p53 protein and the related signaling pathways. Comparing with the traditional chemotherapy drugs, these Pt NCs-based chemotherapeutic agents exhibit great potential and advantages in the treatment and diagnosis of NSCLC regardless of the therapeutic effect or toxic side effects, especially the drug resistance.

Abstract
This work investigates how the luminescent ruthenium-nitrite complexes cis-[Ru(py-bodipy)(dcbpy)2(NO2)](PF6) (I) and cis-[Ru(py-bodipy)(dcbpy-aminopropyl-β-lactose)2(NO2)](PF6) (II) behave toward the melanoma cancer cell line B16F10. The chemical structure and purity of the synthesized complexes were analyzed by UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopy, MALDI, HPLC, and 1H NMR. Spectrofluorescence helped to determine the fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes of each of these complexes. In vitro MTT cell viability assay on B16F10 cancer cells revealed that the complexes possibly have a tumoricidal role. The metal-nitrite complexes evidenced the dichotomous NO nature: at high concentration, NO exerted a tumoricidal effect, whereas cancer cells grew at low NO concentration. Flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy aided cellular uptake calculation. Cell staining followed by fluorescence microscopy associated with organelle markers such as DAPI and Rhodamine 123 detected preferential intracellular localization of the ruthenium-nitrite py-bodipy and aminopropyl lactose derivative ruthenium complex in mitochondria. Thus, the cytotoxicity of compounds (I) and (II) against B16F10 cancer cell line show concentration-dependent results. The present studies suggest that nitric oxide ruthenium derivative compounds could be new potential chemotherapeutic agents against cytotoxic cells.

Abstract
Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), an immunosuppressive enzyme, can involve in immune evasion and tumor tolerance. TDO inhibitors can boost the efficacy of chemotherapeutics by promoting immunity. Herein, a strategy to introduce a TDO inhibitor into Pt(IV) complexes for reversing tumor immune suppression was adopted. A mono-modified Pt(IV) complex, 3, displayed significant antitumor activity against human liver cancer cells. Flow cytometry study revealed that complex 3 could induce cell death via a mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis pathway and arrest the cell cycle at S phase. Furthermore, complex 3 was effective to enhance T-cell immune responses by inhibiting the TDO enzyme expression to block the kynurenine production and inactivating the downstream of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR).

Abstract
Electrochemotherapy is an established local ablative method used for the treatment of different tumor types, including tumors of the head and neck area. Clinical studies have demonstrated a lower response rate of tumors that recur in pre-irradiated area. The aim of the present study was to explore the response of experimentally induced radioresistant cells and tumors to electrochemotherapy with cisplatin or bleomycin. The radioresistant cells (FaDu-RR) were established by fractionated irradiation of parental human squamous cell carcinoma cell line, FaDu. We compared the 2 cell lines in response to chemotherapy and electrochemotherapy with cisplatin or bleomycin in vitro and in vivo. Using specific mass spectrometry-based analytical methods we determined the difference in the uptake of chemotherapeutics in tumors after electrochemotherapy. Additionally, we compared the capacity of the cells to repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) after exposure to the drugs used in electrochemotherapy with the γH2AX foci resolution determined by immunofluorescence microscopy. Our results indicate radio- and cisplatin cross-resistance, confirmed with the lower response rate of radioresistant tumors after electrochemotherapy with cisplatin. On the other hand, the sensitivity to electrochemotherapy with bleomycin was similar in both cell lines and tumors. While the uptake of chemotherapeutics after electrochemotherapy was comparable in both tumor models, there was a difference between the cell lines in capacity to repair DNA DSB-the radioresistant cells had a lower level of DSB and faster DNA repair rate after exposure to both, cisplatin or bleomycin. Due to the higher complete response rate after electrochemotherapy with bleomycin than with cisplatin, we conclude that the results favor bleomycin-over cisplatin-based electrochemotherapy for treatment of radioresistant tumors and/or tumors that regrow after radiotherapy.
