Abstract
As the most frequent and deadly type of cancer in women, breast cancer has a high propensity to spread to the brain, bones, lymph nodes, and lungs. The discovery of cisplatin marked the beginning of the development of anticancer metal-based medications, although the drug's severe side effects have limited its usage in clinical settings. The remarkable antimetastatic and anticancer activity of different ruthenium complexes such as NAMI-A, KP1019, KP1339, etc. reported in the 1980s has bolstered the discovery of ruthenium complexes with various types of ligands for anticancer applications. The review meticulously elucidates the cytotoxic and antimetastatic potential of reported ruthenium complexes against breast cancer cells. Notably, arene-based and cyclometalated ruthenium complexes emerge as standout candidates, showcasing remarkable potency with notably low IC50 values. These findings underscore the promising therapeutic avenues offered by ruthenium-based compounds, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by conventional treatments in refractory or aggressive breast cancer subtypes. Moreover, the review comprehensively integrates a spectrum of ruthenium complexes, spanning traditional metal complexes to nano-based formulations and light-activated variants, underscoring the versatility and adaptability of ruthenium chemistry in breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Methods for producing drugs directly at the cancer site, particularly using bioorthogonal metal catalysts, are being explored to mitigate the side effects of therapy. Albumin-based artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) catalyze reactions in living mice while protecting the catalyst in the hydrophobic pocket. Here, we describe the in situ preparation and application of biocompatible tumor-targeting ArMs using circulating albumin, which is abundant in the bloodstream. The ArM was formed using blood albumin through the intravenous injection of ruthenium conjugated with an albumin-binding ligand; the tumor-targeting unit was conjugated to the ArM using its catalytic activity, and the ArM was transported to the cancer site. The delivered ArM catalyzed a second tagging reaction of the proapoptotic peptide on the cancer surface, successfully suppressing cancer proliferation. This approach, which efficiently leveraged the persisting reactivity twice in vivo, holds promise for future in vivo metal-catalyzed drug synthesis utilizing endogenous albumin.

Abstract
Nanomedicines often rely on noncovalent self-assembly and encapsulation for drug loading and delivery. However, challenges such as reproducibility issues due to the multicomponent nature, off-target activation caused by premature drug release, and complex pharmacokinetics arising from assembly dissociation have hindered their clinical translation. In this study, we introduce an innovative design concept termed single molecular nanomedicine (SMNM) based on macrocyclic carrier-drug conjugates. Through the covalent linkage of two chemotherapy drugs to a hypoxia-cleavable macrocyclic carrier, azocalix[4]arene, we obtained two self-included complexes to serve as SMNMs. The intramolecular inclusion feature of the SMNMs has not only demonstrated comprehensive shielding and protection for the drugs but also effectively prevented off-target drug leakage, thereby significantly reducing their side effects and enhancing their antitumor therapeutic efficacy. Additionally, the attributes of being a single component and molecularly dispersed confer advantages such as ease of preparation and good reproducibility for SMNMs, which is desirable for clinical applications.

Abstract
Dysregulation of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) signaling has been associated with breast cancer, yet employing FGFR-targeted delivery systems to improve the efficacy of cytotoxic agents is still sparsely exploited. Herein, we report four new bi-functional ruthenium-peptide conjugates (RuPCs) with FGFR-targeting and pH-dependent releasing abilities, envisioning the selective delivery of cytotoxic Ru complexes to FGFR(+)-breast cancer cells, and controlled activation at the acidic tumoral microenvironment. The antiproliferative potential of the RuPCs and free Ru complexes was evaluated in four breast cancer cell lines with different FGFR expression levels (SKBR-3, MDA-MB-134-VI, MCF-7, and MDA-MB-231) and in human dermal fibroblasts (HDF), at pH 6.8 and pH 7.4 aimed at mimicking the tumor microenvironment and normal tissues/bloodstream pHs, respectively. The RuPCs showed higher cytotoxicity in cells with higher level of FGFR expression at acidic pH. Additionally, RuPCs showed up to 6-fold higher activity in the FGFR(+) breast cancer lines compared to the normal cell line. The release profile of Ru complexes from RuPCs corroborates the antiproliferative effects observed. Remarkably, the cytotoxicity and releasing ability of RuPCs were shown to be strongly dependent on the conjugation of the peptide position in the Ru complex. Complementary molecular dynamic simulations and computational calculations were performed to help interpret these findings at the molecular level. In summary, we identified a lead bi-functional RuPC that holds strong potential as a FGFR-targeted chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract
The use of benzimidazole-based trinuclear ruthenium(II)-arene complexes (1-3) to selectively target the rare cancer rhabdomyosarcoma is reported. Preliminary cytotoxic evaluations of the ruthenium complexes in an eight-cancer cell line panel revealed enhanced, selective cytotoxicity toward rhabdomyosarcoma cells (RMS). The trinuclear complex 1 was noted to show superior short- and long-term cytotoxicity in RMS cell lines and enhanced selectivity relative to cisplatin. Remarkably, 1 inhibits the migration of metastatic RMS cells and maintains superior activity in a 3D multicellular spheroid model in comparison to that of the clinically used cisplatin. Mechanistic insights reveal that 1 effectively induces genomic DNA damage, initiates autophagy, and prompts the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways in RMS cells. To the best of our knowledge, 1 is the first trinuclear ruthenium(II) arene complex to selectively kill RMS cells in 2D and 3D cell cultures.

Abstract
The employment of antibodies as a targeted drug delivery vehicle has proven successful which is exemplified by the emergence of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, ADCs are not without their shortcomings. Improvements may be made to the ADC platform by decoupling the cytotoxic drug from the delivery vehicle and conjugating an organometallic catalyst in its place. The resulting protein-metal catalyst conjugate was designed to uncage the masked cytotoxin administered as a separate entity. Macropinocytosis of albumin by cancerous cells suggests the potential of albumin acting as the tumor-targeting delivery vehicle. Herein reported are the first preparation and demonstration of ruthenium catalysts with cyclopentadienyl and quinoline-based ligands conjugated to albumin. The effective uncaging abilities were demonstrated on allyloxy carbamate (alloc)-protected rhodamine 110 and doxorubicin, providing a promising catalytic scaffold for the advancement of selective drug delivery methods in the future.

Abstract
Despite metal-based photosensitizers showing great potential in photodynamic therapy for tumor treatment, the application of the photosensitizers is intrinsically limited by their poor cancer-targeting properties. Herein, we reported a metal-based photosensitizer-bacteria hybrid, Ir-HEcN, via covalent labeling of an iridium(III) photosensitizer to the surface of genetically engineered bacteria. Due to its intrinsic self-propelled motility and hypoxia tropism, Ir-HEcN selectively targets and penetrates deeply into tumor tissues. Importantly, Ir-HEcN is capable of inducing pyroptosis and immunogenic cell death of tumor cells under irradiation, thereby remarkably evoking anti-tumor innate and adaptive immune responses in vivo and leading to the regression of solid tumors via combinational photodynamic therapy and immunotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, Ir-HEcN is the first metal complex decorated bacteria for enhanced photodynamic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal catalysis, a class of catalytic reactions that are mediated by abiotic metals and proceed in biological environments without interfering with native biochemical reactions, has gained ever-increasing momentum in prodrug delivery over the past few decades. Albeit great progress has been attained in developing new bioorthogonal catalytic reactions and optimizing the catalytic performance of transition metal catalysts (TMCs), the use of TMCs to activate chemotherapeutics at the site of interest in vivo remains a challenging endeavor. To translate the bioorthogonal catalysis-mediated prodrug activation paradigm from flasks to animals, TMCs with targeting capability and stimulus-responsive behavior have been well-designed to perform chemical transformations in a controlled manner within highly complex biochemical systems, rendering on-demand drug activation to mitigate off-target toxicity. Here, we review the recent advances in the development of controllable bioorthogonal catalysis systems, with an emphasis on different strategies for engineering TMCs to achieve precise control over prodrug activation. Furthermore, we outline the envisaged challenges and discuss future directions of controllable bioorthogonal catalysis for disease therapy.

Abstract
Checkpoint inhibitors have been used with chemotherapy to improve antitumor efficacy. However, overcoming the immunosuppressive effect of chemotherapeutics remains a challenge. We report a nanobody-catalyst conjugate Ru-PD-L1 by fusing a ruthenium catalyst to an anti-PD-L1 nanobody. After administration of Ru-PD-L1 and a doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug, Ru-PD-L1 disrupts the PD-L1/PD-1 interaction and catalyzes the uncaging of the DOX prodrug. The spatially confined release of DOX reduces its systemic toxicity and leads to immunogenic cell death (ICD). The induced ICD triggers antitumor immune responses, which are further amplified by PD-L1 blockade to elicit synergistic chemo-immunotherapy, substantially increasing the number of tumor-infiltrating T-cells by 49.7% compared with the controls, thereby exhibiting high antitumor activity and low cytotoxicity in murine models. The combinational treatment could inhibit the growth of mice tumors by 67.7% compared to the control group. This combinational approach circumvents the negative immunogenic effects of chemotherapeutics and provides a potential chemo-immunotherapy strategy for human cancer treatment.

Abstract
Due to rising resistance, new antibacterial strategies are needed, including methods for targeted antibiotic release. As targeting vectors, chelating molecules called siderophores that are released by bacteria to acquire iron have been investigated for conjugation to antibacterials, leading to the clinically approved drug cefiderocol. The use of small-molecule catalysts for prodrug activation within cells has shown promise in recent years, and here we investigate siderophore-linked ruthenium catalysts for the activation of antibacterial prodrugs within cells. Moxifloxacin-based prodrugs were synthesised, and their catalyst-mediated activation was demonstrated under anaerobic, biologically relevant conditions. In the absence of catalyst, decreased antibacterial activities were observed compared to moxifloxacin versus Escherichia coli K12 (BW25113). A series of siderophore-linked ruthenium catalysts were investigated for prodrug activation, all of which displayed a combinative antibacterial effect with the prodrug, whereas a representative example displayed little toxicity against mammalian cell lines. By employing complementary bacterial growth assays, conjugates containing siderophore units based on catechol and azotochelin were found to be most promising for intracellular prodrug activation.

Abstract
Three-dimensional nondestructive, nanoresolution, and in situ visualization of protein spatial localization in a large, thick single cell remains challenging. In this study, we designed a multifunctional iron oxide (Fe@BFK) nanoprobe that possesses fluorescence and hard X-ray imaging signals. This probe can specifically target the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein and help optimize the label condition and selection of suitable samples for X-ray imaging. Combining 30 nm resolution synchrotron radiation hard X-ray nanocomputed tomography and the X-ray-sensitive Fe@BFK nanoprobe, a 3D localization of HER2 on SK-BR-3 cells was obtained for the first time. HER2 was mainly localized and cluster-distributed on the cell membrane with a heterogeneous pattern. This study provides a novel method for the in situ and nondestructive synchrotron radiation imaging of the desired protein localization in large, thick cells and evaluation of the true cellular distribution of a nanoprobe with high resolution.

Abstract
The development of organometallic catalysis has greatly expanded the synthetic chemist toolbox compared to only exploiting "classical" organic chemistry. Although more widely used in organic solvents, metal-based catalysts have also emerged as efficient tools for developing organic transformations in water, thus paving the way for further development of bio-compatible reactions. However, performing metal-catalysed reactions within living cells or organisms induces additional constraints to the design of reactions and catalysts. In particular, metal complexes must exhibit good efficiency in complex aqueous media at low concentrations, good cell specificity, good cellular uptake and low toxicity. In this review, we focus on the presentation of discrete metal complexes that catalyse or photocatalyse reactions within living cells or living organisms. We describe the different reaction designs that have proved to be successful under these conditions, which involve very few metals (Ir, Pd, Ru, Pt, Cu, Au, and Fe) and range from in cellulo deprotection/decaging/activation of fluorophores, drugs, proteins and DNA to in cellulo synthesis of active molecules, and protein and organelle labelling. We also present developments in bio-compatible photo-activatable catalysts, which represent a very recent emerging area of research and some prospects in the field.

Abstract
As a burgeoning bioorthogonal reaction, the fluoride-mediated desilylation is capable of prodrug activation. However, due to the reactions lack of cell selectivity and unitary therapy modality, this strongly impedes their biomedical applications. Herein, we construct a cancer cell-selective biomimetic metal-organic framework (MOF)-F platform for prodrug activation and enhanced synergistic chemodynamic therapy (CDT). With cancer cell membranes camouflage, the designed biomimetic nanocatalyst displays preferential accumulation to homotypic cancer cells. Then, pH-responsive nanocatalyst releases fluoride ions and ferric ions. For activation of our designed prodrug tert-butyldimethyl silyl (TBS)-hydroxycamptothecin (TBSO-CPT), fluoride ions can desilylate TBS and cleave the designed silyl ether linker to synthesize the OH-CPT (10-hydroxycamptothecin) drug molecule, which effectively kills cancer cells. Intriguingly, the bioorthogonal-synthesized OH-CPT drug upregulates intracellular H2O2 by activating nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX), amplifying the released iron induced Fenton reaction for synergistic CDT. Both in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate our strategy presents a versatile fluoride-activated bioorthogonal catalyst for cancer cell-selective drug synthesis. Our work may accelerate the biomedical applications of fluoride-activated bioorthogonal chemistry.
