Novel Re(I) Complexes as Potential Selective Theranostic Agents in Cancer Cells and In Vivo in Caenorhabditis elegans Tumoral Strains. J Med Chem 2024; 67:7891-7910. [PMID: 38451016 PMCID: PMC11129195 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.3c01869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
A series of rhenium(I) complexes of the type fac-[Re(CO)3(N^N)L]0/+, Re1-Re9, was synthesized, where N^N = benzimidazole-derived bidentate ligand with an ester functionality and L = chloride or pyridine-type ligand. The new compounds demonstrated potent activity toward ovarian A2780 cancer cells. The most active complexes, Re7-Re9, incorporating 4-NMe2py, exhibited remarkable activity in 3D HeLa spheroids. The emission in the red region of Re9, which contains an electron-deficient benzothiazole moiety, allowed its operability as a bioimaging tool for in vitro and in vivo visualization. Re9 effectivity was tested in two different C. elegans tumoral strains, JK1466 and MT2124, to broaden the oncogenic pathways studied. The results showed that Re9 was able to reduce the tumor growth in both strains by increasing the ROS production inside the cells. Moreover, the selectivity of the compound toward cancerous cells was remarkable as it did not affect neither the development nor the progeny of the nematodes.

Abstract
Due to their favorable chemical features, Re and Tc complexes have been widely used for the development of new therapeutic agents and imaging probes to solve problems of biomedical relevance. This review provides an update of the most relevant research efforts towards the development of novel cancer theranostic agents using Re and Tc-based compounds interacting with specific DNA structures. This includes a variety of homometallic complexes, namely those containing M(CO)3 (M=Re, Tc) moieties, that exhibit different modes of interaction with DNA, such as covalent binding, intercalation, groove binding or G-quadruplex DNA binding. Additionally, heterometallic complexes, designed to potentiate synergistic effects of different metal centers to improve DNA-targeting, cytotoxicity and fluorescence properties, are also reviewed. Particular attention is also given to 99m Tc- and 188 Re-labeled oligonucleotides that have been widely explored to develop imaging and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals through the in vivo hybridization with a specific complementary DNA or RNA target sequence to provide useful molecular tools in precision medicine for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Finally, the need for further improvement of DNA-targeted Re and Tc-based compounds as potential therapeutic and diagnostic agents is highlighted, and future directions are discussed.

Abstract
A series of Ru(II) and Ir(III) based photoluminescent complexes were synthesised that incorporate an ancillary 2,2'-bipyridine ligand adorned with either one or two pendant N-methyl imidazolium groups. These complexes have been fully characterised by an array of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. One Ir(III) example was unequivocally structurally characterised in the solid state using single crystal X-ray diffraction confirming the proposed formulation and coordination sphere. These complexes were then transformed into their heterometallic, Au(I)-containing, analogues in two steps to yield either bi- or trimetallic complexes that integrate {Au(PPh3)}+ units. X-ray diffraction was used to corroborate the solid state structure of the hetero bimetallic complex, based upon a Ru(II)-Au(I) species. The heterometallic complexes all displayed red photoluminescent features (λem = 616-629 nm) that were consistent with the parent Ru(II) or Ir(III) lumophores in each case. The modulation of the emission from the Ru(II)-Au(I) complexes was much more strongly evident than for the Ir(III)-Au(I) analogues, which is ascribed to the inherent differences in the specific triplet excited state character of the emitting states within each heterometallic species.

Abstract
This study aims to probe into new series of heterobimetallic PtII-AuI complexes with a general formula of [Pt(p-MeC6H4)(dfppy)(μ-dppm)Au(NHC)]OTf, NHC = IPr, 2; IMes, 3; dfppy = 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridinate; dppm = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane, which are the resultant of the reaction between [Pt(p-MeC6H4)(dfppy)(κ1-dppm)], 1, with [AuCl(NHC)], NHC = IPr, B; IMes, C, in the presence of [Ag(OTf)]. In the heterobimetallic complexes, the dppm ligand is settled between both metals as an unsymmetrical bridging ligand. Several techniques are employed to characterize the resulting compounds. Moreover, the photophysical properties of the complexes are investigated by means of UV-vis and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Furthermore, the experimental study is enriched by ab initio calculations (density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT)) to assess the role of Pt and Au moieties in the observed optical properties. It is revealed that 1-3 is luminescent in the solid state and solution at different temperatures. In addition, the achieved results indicate the emissive properties of 1-3 are originated from a mixed 3IL/3MLCT excited state with major contribution of intraligand charge transfer (dfppy). A comparative study is conducted into the cytotoxic activities of starting materials and 1-3 against different human cancer cell lines such as the pancreas (MIA-PaCa2), breast (MDA-MB-231), cervix (HeLa), and noncancerous breast epithelial cell line (MCF-10A). The achieved results suggest the heterobimetallic PtII-AuI species as optimal compounds that signify the existence of cooperative and synergistic effects in their structures. The complex 3 is considered as the most cytotoxic compound with the maximum selectivity index in our screened complex series. Moreover, it is disclosed that 3 effectively causes cell death by inducing apoptosis in MIA-PaCa2 cells. Furthermore, the finding results by fluorescent cell microscopy manifest cytoplasmic staining of 3 rather than nucleus.

Abstract
Around 10 million fatalities were recorded worldwide in 2020 due to cancer and statistical projections estimate the number to increase by 60% in 2040. With such a substantial rise in the global cancer burden, the disease will continue to impose a huge socio-economic burden on society. Currently, the most widely used clinical treatment modality is cytotoxic chemotherapy using platinum drugs which is used to treat variety of cancers. Despite its clinical success, critical challenges like resistance, off-target side effects and cancer variability often reduce its overall therapeutic efficiency. These challenges require faster diagnosis, simultaneous therapy and a more personalized approach toward cancer management. To this end, small-molecule ‘theranostic’ agents have presented a viable solution combining diagnosis and therapy into a single platform. In this review, we present a summary of recent efforts in the design and optimization of metal-based small-molecule ‘theranostic’ anticancer agents. Importantly, we highlight the advantages of a theranostic candidate over the purely therapeutic or diagnostic agent in terms of evaluation of its biological properties.

Abstract
A series of trinuclear μ3-vinylidene ReFePt clusters were synthesized by the application of two approaches: (i) reactions of the binuclear RePt μ-vinylidene complexes with Fe2(CO)9; (ii) ligand substitution or exchange reactions at the Pt atom in the synthesized ReFePt clusters. The molecular structures of CpReFePt(μ3-CCHPh)(CO)5[P(OEt)3]L [L = CO; P(OEt)3] were determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The obtained compounds were studied by IR and 1H, 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic study revealed that the clusters CpReFePt(μ3-CCHPh)(CO)5[P(OEt)3]L [L = CO; P(OEt)3] and CpReFePt(μ3-CCHPh)(CO)6[P(OPri)3] undergo isomerization upon dissolution, resulting in three isomers with different positions of the μ3-vinylidene ligand over the ReFePt core. The redox properties of the clusters were studied by electrochemical methods. The relatively stable cation-radicals obtained by chemical oxidation of CpReFePt(μ3-CCHPh)(CO)6[P(OPri)3] and CpReFePt(μ3-CCHPh)(CO)5[P(OEt)3]2 with ferrocenium tetrafluoroborate were characterized by EPR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The photophysical and photochemical properties of two Pt(IV)Re(I) conjugates were studied via both experimental and computational methods. Both conjugates exhibit modest photocytotoxicity against ovarian cancer cells. X-ray fluorescence microscopy showed that Pt and Re colocalize in cells whether they had been irradiated or not. This work demonstrates the potential of photoactivated multilimetallic agents for combating cancer.

Abstract
Co(II) complexes having a ferrocene-based curcuminoid (Fc-curH) ligand viz. [Co(L)2(Fc-cur)]ClO4 (1, 2), where L is phenanthroline base, namely, 1,10-phenanthroline (phen in 1) and dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz in 2) have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated as photochemotherapeutic agents in vitro. The corresponding Co(II) complexes of the naturally occurring polyphenol curcumin (curH), namely, [Co(L)2(cur)]ClO4 (3, 4), where L is phen (in 3) and dppz (in 4) were synthesized and their photo-induced anticancer activities compared with their ferrocene containing counterparts 1 and 2. The Co(II) acetylacetonato complex viz. [Co(phen)2(acac)]ClO4 (5) was structurally characterized through X-ray crystallography and used as control for cellular experiments. The Co(II) complexes having ferrocene-based curcuminoid are remarkably stable at physiological condition with higher lipophilicity compared to their curcumin analogues. The complexes display significant binding propensity to calf thymus (ct) DNA and human serum albumin (HSA). The complexes 1-4 display remarkable visible light induced cytotoxicity with the ferrocenyl analogues showing more phototoxic index (PI). The Co(II) curcumin complexes localize in the nucleus and mitochondria of A549 cells. The primary cell death mechanism is believed to be apoptotic in nature induced by light assisted generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).Graphic abstract.

Abstract
The optical and biological properties of 2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)benzothiazole cycloplatinated complexes featuring bioactive ligands ([{Pt(Me 2 N-pbt)(C 6 F 5 )}L] [L = Me 2 N-pbtH 1 , p -dpbH (4-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid) 2 , o -dpbH (2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid) 3) , [Pt(Me 2 N-pbt)( o -dpb)] 4 , [{Pt(Me 2 N-pbt)(C 6 F 5 )} 2 (µ-PR n P)] [PR 4 P = O(CH 2 CH 2 OC(O)C 6 H 4 PPh 2 ) 2 5 , PR 12 P = O{(CH 2 CH 2 O) 3 C(O)C 6 H 4 PPh 2 } 2 6 ] are presented. Complexes 1-6 display 1 ILCT and metal perturbed 3 ILCT dual emissions. The ratio between both bands is excitation dependent, accomplishing warm-white emissions for 2 , 5 and 6 . The phosphorescent emission is lost in aerated solutions owing to photoinduced electron transfer to 3 O 2 and formation of 1 O 2 , as confirmed in complexes 2 and 4 . They also exhibit photoinduced phosphorescence enhancement in non-degassed DMSO, due to local oxidation of DMSO by sensitized 1 O 2 , which causes a local degassing. Me 2 N-pbtH and the complexes exhibit specific accumulation in the Golgi apparatus although only 2 , 3 and 6 were active against A549 and HeLa cancer cell lines, being 6 highly selective respect to nontumoral cells. The potential photodynamic property of these complexes was demonstrated with complex 4 .

Abstract
This article provides an overview of the various research approaches we have explored in recent years to improve metal-based agents for cancer or infection treatments. Although cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin remain the cornerstones in tumor chemotherapy, the discovery and approval of novel inorganic anticancer drugs is a very slow process. Analogously, although a few promising inorganic drugs have found clinical application against parasitic or bacterial infections, their use remains relatively limited. Moreover, the discovery process is often affected by small therapeutic enhancements that are not attractive for the pharmaceutical industry. However, the availability of increasing mechanistic information for the modes of action of established inorganic drugs is fueling the exploration of various approaches for developing effective inorganic chemotherapy agents. Through a series of examples, some from our own research experience, we focus our attention on a number of promising strategies, including (1) drug repurposing, (2) the simple modification of the chemical structures of approved metal-based drugs, (3) testing novel drug combinations, and (4) newly synthesized complexes coupling different anticancer drugs. Accordingly, we aim to suggest and summarize a series of reliable approaches that are exploitable for the development of improved and innovative treatments.

Abstract
Three near-infrared (NIR-I) optical theranostic systems were synthesized, characterized and studied in vitro and in vivo. These original homo-bimetallic gold(I)-based aza-BODIPY complexes proved to be trackable through near-infrared optical imaging in cells and in mice. They display anti-proliferative properties in micromolar range against human and murine cancer cell lines (4T1, MDA-MB-231, CT26, and SW480). Moreover, the injection of the most promising theranostic agent in CT26 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice induced a significant anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
Heterometallic drugs are emerging as a great alternative to conventional metallodrugs. Careful selection of different metallic fragments makes possible to enhance not only the therapeutic potential by a synergistic effect, but also to incorpore key features like traceability. Drugs that integrate traceability and therapy in one system are known as theranostic agents. In cancer research, theranostic agents are becoming increasingly important. They deliver crucial information regarding their biological interplay that can ultimately be used for optimization. The well-established therapeutic potential of PtII -, RuII - and AuI -based drugs combined with the outstanding optical properties of d6 transition metal complexes grant the delivery of traceable metallodrugs. These species can be easily fine-tuned through modification of their respective ligands to provide a new generation of drugs.

Abstract
A straightforward modification route to obtain mono- and di-substituted anthroyl ester bridge functionalized dinuclear Au(I) bis-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes is presented. The functionalization can be achieved starting from a hydroxyl-functionalized ligand precursor followed by transmetallation of the corresponding Ag complex or via esterification of the hydroxyl-functionalized gold complex. The compounds are characterized by NMR-spectroscopy, ESI-MS, elemental analysis and SC-XRD. The mono-ester Au complex shows quantum yields around 18%. In contrast, the corresponding syn-di-ester Au complex, exhibits significantly lower quantum yields of around 8%. Due to insufficient water solubility of the di-ester, only the mono-ester complex has been tested regarding its antiproliferative activity against HeLa- (cervix) and MCF-7- (breast) cancer cell lines and a healthy fibroblast cell line (V79). IC50 values of 7.26 μM in the HeLa cell line and 7.92 μM in the MCF-7 cell line along with selectivity indices of 8.8 (HeLa) and 8.0 (MCF-7) are obtained. These selectivity indices are significantly higher than those obtained for the reference drugs cisplatin or auranofin.

Abstract
In this work, the synthesis of interesting urea derivatives 5 based on 1,4-dihydropyridines 3 is described for the first time. Considering that both families exhibit potential as drugs to treat various diseases, their activity as anticancer agents has been evaluated in HeLa (cervix), Jurkat (leukaemia) and A549 (lung) cancer cell lines as well as on healthy mice in vivo. In general, whereas 1,4-dihydropyridines show a moderate cytotoxic activity, their urea analogues cause an extraordinary increase in their antiproliferative activity, specially towards HeLa cells. Because of the chiral nature of these compounds, enantiomerically enriched samples were also tested, showing different cytotoxic activity than the racemic mixture. Although the reason is not clear, it could be caused by a complex amalgam of physical and chemical contributions. The studied compounds also exhibit luminescent properties, which allow performing a biodistribution study in cancer cells. They have emission maxima between 420 and 471 nm, being the urea derivatives in general red shifted. Emission quenching was observed for those compounds containing a nitro group (3e,f and 5e,f). Fluorescence microscopy showed that 1,4-dihydropyridines 3a and 3g localised in the lysosomes, in contrast to the urea derivatives 5h that accumulated in the cell membrane. This different distribution could be key to explain the differences found in the cytotoxic activity and in the mechanism of action. Interestingly, a preliminary in vivo study regarding the acute toxicity of some of these compounds on healthy mice has been conducted, using a concentration up to 7200 times higher than the corresponding IC50 value. No downgrade in the welfare of the tested mice was observed, which could support their use in preclinical tumour models.

Abstract
In this study, we designed and synthesized four novel multi-nuclear silver complexes (1-4) coordinated with pyrazole- or pyridine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. The crystal structures of the silver-NHC complexes were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. In vitro assays showed that the silver-NHC complexes effectively killed a broad range of cancer cells after short-term drug exposure, serving as fast-acting cytotoxic agents. Of note, in cisplatin-resistant A549 cancer cells, the silver complexes were not cross-resistant with the clinically used cisplatin agent. Detailed mechanistic studies revealed that complex 2 triggered caspase-independent cell necrosis associated with intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) depletion. By exploiting a facile nano-assembly process, silver-NHC complexes 1, 2 and 4 were successfully integrated into the hydrophobic cores of amphiphilic matrices (DSPE-PEG2K), enabling systemic injection. The silver complex-loaded nanotherapeutics (1-NPs, 2-NPs, and 4-NPs) showed high safety margins with reduced systemic drug toxicities relative to cisplatin in animals. Furthermore, in a xenograft model of human colorectal cancer, the administration of the nanotherapeutics resulted in a marked inhibition of tumor progression.

Abstract
The two independent and N N ^ coordination sites of a newly synthesized bis[2-(hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole] platform have been exploited to prepare four monometallic neutral ()PtII complexes carrying DMSO, pyridine, triphenylphosphine, or N-heterocyclic carbene as the fourth ligand. Then, the second N N ^ coordination site was used to introduce an IR-active rhenium tricarbonyl entity, affording the four corresponding heterobimetallic neutral PtII /ReI complexes, as well as a cationic PtII /ReI derivative. X-ray crystallographic studies showed that distortion of the organic platform occurred to accommodate the coordination geometry of both metal centers. No ligand exchange or transchelation occurred upon incubation of the PtII complexes in aqueous environment or in the presence of FeIII , respectively. The antiproliferative activity of the ligand and complexes was first screened on the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Then, the IC50 values of the most active candidates were determined on a wider panel of human cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and A2780), as well as on a nontumorigenic cell line (MCF-10A). Low micromolar activities were reached for the complexes carrying a DMSO ligand, making them the first examples of highly active, but hydrolytically stable, PtII complexes. Finally, the characteristic mid-IR signature of the {Re(CO)3 } fragment in the Pt/Re heterobimetallic complexes was used to quantify their uptake in breast cancer cells.

Abstract
Diverse iridium peptide bioconjugates and the corresponding iridium/gold bimetallic complexes have been synthesized starting from a cyclometallated carboxylic acid substituted IrIII complex [Ir(ppy)2 (Phen-5-COO)] by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The selected peptide sequences were an enkephalin derivative Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu together with the propargyl-substituted species Tyr-Gly-Pgl-Phe-Leu to allow gold coordination (Pgl: propyrgyl-glycine, HC≡C-Gly), and a specific short peptide, Ala-Cys-Ala-Phen, containing a cysteine residue. Introduction of the gold center has been achieved via a click reaction with the alkynyl group leading to an organometallic Au-C(triazole) species, or by direct coordination to the sulfur atom of the cysteine. The photophysical properties of these species revealed predominantly an emission originating from the Ir complex, using mixed metal-to-ligand and ligand-to-ligand charge transfer excited states of triplet multiplicity. The formation of the peptide bioconjugates caused a systematic redshift of the emission profiles. Lysosomal accumulation was observed for all the complexes, in contrast to the expected mitochondrial accumulation triggered by the gold complexes. Only the cysteine-containing Ir/Au bioconjugate displayed cytotoxic activity. The absence of activity may be related to the lack of endosomal/lysosomal escape for the cationic peptide conjugates. Interestingly, the different coordination sphere of the gold atom may play a crucial role, as the Au-S(cysteine) bond may be more readily cleaved in a biological environment than the Au-C(triazole) bond, and thus the Au fragment could be released from or trapped in the lysosomes, respectively. This work represents a starting point in the development of bimetallic peptide bioconjugates as theranostics and in the knowledge of factors that contribute to anti-proliferative activity.

Abstract
A series of neutral and cationic heterotrimetallic complexes of the type fac-[Re(CO)3(bipy(CC)2-(AuL)2)X]n, where bipy(CC)2 is 4,4'-alkynyl-2,2'-bipyridine; L is either triphenylphosphine (PPh3), [1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene] (IPr), or tert-butyl isocyanide (CNtBu); and X is a chloride (n = 0) or acetonitrile (n = 1), were synthesized and characterized together with their Re(I) precursors, i.e., fac-[Re(CO)3(bipy(CC)2)X]n. X-ray diffraction of complexes 1, 3, and 6 corroborated the expected octahedral and linear distribution of the ligands along the Re(I) and Au(I) centers, respectively. Luminescent studies showed that all the complexes displayed a broad emission band centered between 565 and 680 nm, corresponding to a 3MLCT from the Re(I) to the diimine derivative. The presence of the gold fragment coordinated to the diimine ligand shifted in all cases the emission maxima toward higher energies. Such an emission difference could be potentially used for assessing the precise moment of interaction of the probe with the biological target if the gold fragment is implicated. Antiproliferative studies in cancer cells, A549 (lung cancer) and HeLa (cervix cancer), showed a generalized selectivity toward HeLa cells for those heterotrimetallic species incubated at longer times (72 vs 24 h). ICP-MS spectrometry revealed the greater cell internalization of cationic vs neutral species. Preliminary fluorescence microscopy experiments showed a different behavior of the complexes in HeLa and A549 cell lines. Whereas the complexes in A549 were randomly distributed in the outside of the cell, those incubated with HeLa cells were located close to the cellular membrane, suggesting some type of interaction, and possibly explaining their cellular selectivity when it comes to the antiproliferative activity displayed in the different cell lines.

Abstract
We demonstrate the synthesis and characterization of a new class of late transition metal-aluminum heterobimetallic complexes. A bridging ligand which both chelates the transition metal and binds the aluminum via an alkoxide was employed to impart stability to the bimetallic system. Novel rhodium-aluminum heterobimetallic complexes Rh(DPPE)(DPPP-O-AliBu2Cl) and Rh(DPPP-O-AliBu2)(DPPP-O-AliBu2Cl) are synthesized and spectroscopically characterized.

Abstract
1,2,3-Triazol-5-ylidene (trz) complexes of gold(i) containing a ferrocenyl substituent on the C4-position of the trz ring were synthesized to yield the neutral heterobimetallic gold(i) trz chlorido (2), gold(i) trz phenyl (3), and the cationic gold(i) trz triphenylphospine (5) complexes. In order to compare the effect of silver(i) as central metal vs. gold(i), [Ag(trz)2]+ (4) was also prepared, while variation of the C4-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene substituent from a ferrocenyl to a phenyl group was done to prepare the monometallic analogue of 5, namely the cationic Au(i) trz triphenylphosphine complex 6. The complexes were characterised with spectroscopic and electrochemical methods, and the single crystal X-ray structures of 2-6 were determined. NMR stability studies of 5 as a representative example of the series of complexes were performed to confirm the stability of the complexes in the solvent dimethylsulfoxide and in aqueous solution. The anti-cancer potential of 5 was evaluated against the lung cancer cell lines A549 and H1975, and the human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293) was used as a non-cancer model. IC50 values of 0.89, 0.23 and 5.43 μM, respectively, were obtained for A549, H1975 and HEK-293, respectively, indicating the activity and selectivity of 5 for cancer cells. Fluorescence microscopy experiments as a preliminary mode-of-action study evidenced an apoptotic cell death mechanism rather than necrotic cell death.
