Abstract
A series of mononuclear non-oxido vanadium(IV) complexes, [VIV(L1-4)2] (1-4), featuring tridentate bi-negative ONS chelating S-alkyl/aryl-substituted dithiocarbazate ligands H2L1-4, are reported. All the synthesized non-oxido VIV compounds are characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy (IR, UV-vis, and EPR), ESI-MS, as well as electrochemical techniques (cyclic voltammetry). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1-3 reveal that the mononuclear non-oxido VIV complexes show distorted octahedral (1 and 2) or trigonal prismatic (3) arrangement around the non-oxido VIV center. EPR and DFT data indicate the coexistence of mer and fac isomers in solution, and ESI-MS results suggest a partial oxidation of [VIV(L1-4)2] to [VV(L1-4)2]+ and [VVO2(L1-4)]-; therefore, all these three complexes are plausible active species. Complexes 1-4 interact with bovine serum albumin (BSA) with a moderate binding affinity, and docking calculations reveal non-covalent interactions with different regions of BSA, particularly with Tyr, Lys, Arg, and Thr residues. In vitro cytotoxic activity of all complexes is assayed against the HT-29 (colon cancer) and HeLa (cervical cancer) cells and compared with the NIH-3T3 (mouse embryonic fibroblast) normal cell line by MTT assay and DAPI staining. The results suggest that complexes 1-4 are cytotoxic in nature and induce cell death in the cancer cell lines by apoptosis and that a mixture of VIV, VV, and VVO2 species could be responsible for the biological activity.

Abstract
The interaction of VIVO2+ ion and five VIVOL2 compounds with potential pharmacological application, where L indicates maltolate (ma), kojate (koj), acetylacetonate (acac), 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1 H)-pyridinonate (dhp), and l-mimosinate (mim), with ubiquitin (Ub) was studied by EPR, ESI-MS, and computational (docking and DFT) methods. The free metal ion VIVO2+ interacts with Glu, Asp, His, Thr, and Leu residues, but the most stable sites (named 1 and 2) involve the coordination of (Glu16, Glu18) and (Glu24, Asp52). In the system with VIVOL2 compounds, the type of binding depends on the vanadium concentration. When the concentration is in the mM range, the binding occurs with cis-VOL2(H2O), L = ma, koj, dhp, and mim, or with VO(acac)2: in the first case, the equatorial coordination of His68, Glu16, Glu18, or Asp21 residues yields species with formula n[VOL2]-Ub where n = 2-3, while with VO(acac)2 only noncovalent surface interactions are revealed. When the concentration of V is on the order of micromolar, the mono-chelated species VOL(H2O)2+ with L = ma, koj, acac, dhp, and mim, favored by the hydrolysis, interact with Ub, and adducts with composition n[VOL]-Ub ( n = 1-2) are observed with the contemporaneous coordination of (Glu18, Asp21) or (Glu16, Glu18), and (Glu24, Asp52) or (Glu51, Asp52) donors. The results of this work suggest that the combined application of spectroscopic, spectrometric, and computational techniques allow the complete characterization of the ternary systems formed by a V compound and a model protein such as ubiquitin. The same approach can be applied, eventually changing the spectroscopic/spectrometric techniques, to study the interaction of other metal species with other proteins.

Abstract
Quinolone derivatives are among the most commonly prescribed antibacterials in the world and could also attract interest as organic ligands in the design of metal complexes with potential pharmacological activity. In this study, five compounds, belonging to the first (nalidixic acid or Hnal), second (ciprofloxacin or Hcip, and norfloxacin or Hnor) and third generation (levofloxacin or Hlev, and sparfloxacin or Hspar) of quinolones, were used as ligands to bind the VIVO2+ ion. In aqueous solution, mono- and bis-chelated species were formed as a function of pH, with cis-[VOHxL2(H2O)]x+ and [VOHxL2]x+, x = 0-2, being the major complexes at pH 7.4. DFT calculations indicate that the most stable isomers are the octahedral OC-6-32 and the square pyramidal SPY-5-12, in equilibrium with each other. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case that an equilibrium between a penta-coordinated square pyramidal complex and a hexa-coordinated octahedral complex is observed in solution for ligands forming six-membered chelated rings. Nalidixic acid forms the solid compound [VO(nal)2(H2O)], to which a cis-octahedral geometry was assigned. The interaction with 1-methylimidazole (MeIm) causes a shift of the equilibrium SPY-5 + H2O ⇄ OC-6 toward the right after the formation of cis-[VOHxL2(MeIm)]x+, where MeIm replaces an equatorial water ligand. The study of the systems containing [VO(nal)2(H2O)] and the serum proteins - albumin (HSA), apo-transferrin (apo-hTf) and holo-transferrin (holo-hTf) - indicates that HSA and holo-hTf form the mixed species {VO(nal)2}y(HSA) and {VO(nal)2}y(holo-hTf), where y = 1-3 denotes the number of VO(nal)2 moieties bound to accessible histidines (His105, His367, His510 for HSA, and His25, His349, His606 for holo-hTf), whereas apo-hTf yields VO(nal)2(apo-hTf) with the coordination of the His289 residue only. Docking calculations suggest that the specific conformation of apo-hTf and the steric hindrance of the cis-VO(nal)2 moiety interfere with its interaction with all the surface His residues and the formation of a hydrogen bond network which could stabilize the binding sites.

Abstract
The first report on the anti-cancer activity of the compound Metvan, [VIVO(Me2phen)2(SO4)], where Me2phen is 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, dates back to 2001. Although it was immediately identified as one of the most promising multitargeted anti-cancer V compounds, no development on the medical experimentation was carried out. One of the possible reasons is the lack of information on its speciation in aqueous solution and its thermodynamic stability, factors which influence the transport in the blood and the final form which reaches the target organs. To fill this gap, in this work the speciation of Metvan in aqueous solution and human blood was studied by instrumental (EPR, electronic absorption spectroscopy, ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS), analytical (pH-potentiometry) and computational (DFT) methods. The results suggested that Metvan transforms at physiological pH into the hydrolytic species cis-[VO(Me2phen)2(OH)]+ and that both citrate and proteins (transferrin and albumin in the blood serum, and hemoglobin in the erythrocytes) form mixed complexes, denoted [VO(Me2phen)(citrH-1)]2- and VO-Me2phen-Protein with the probable binding of His-N donors. The measurements with erythrocytes suggest that Metvan is able to cross their membrane forming mixed species VO-Me2phen-Hb. The redox stability in cell culture medium was also examined, showing that ca. 60% is oxidized to VV after 5 h. Overall, the speciation of Metvan in the blood mainly depends on the V concentration: when it is larger than 50 μM, [VO(Me2phen)(citrH-1)]2- and VO-Me2phen-Protein are the major species, while for concentrations lower than 10 μM, (VO)(hTf) is formed and Me2phen is lost. Therefore, it is plausible that the pharmacological activity of Metvan could be due to the synergic action of free Me2phen, and VIVO and VVO/VVO2 species.

Abstract
The interaction of the potential anti-tumor agent vanadocene dichloride ([Cp2VCl2] or VDC) with some relevant bioligands of the cytosol such as proteins (Hb), amino acids (glycine and histidine), NADH derivatives (NADH, NADPH, NAD(+) and NADP(+)), reductants (GSH and ascorbic acid), phosphates (HPO4(2-), P2O7(4-), cAMP, AMP, ADP and ATP) and carboxylate derivatives (lactate) and its uptake by red blood cells were studied. The results indicated that [Cp2VCl2] transforms at physiological pH into [Cp2V(OH)2] and that only HPO4(2-), P2O7(4-), lactate, ATP and ADP form mixed species with the [Cp2V](2+) moiety replacing the two hydroxide ions. EPR and electronic absorption spectroscopy, agarose gel electrophoresis and spin trapping measurements allow excluding any direct interaction and/or intercalation with DNA and the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Fenton-like reactions. Uptake experiments by erythrocytes suggested that VDC crosses the membrane and enters inside the cells, whereas 'bare' V(IV) transforms into V(IV)O species with loss of the two cyclopentadienyl rings. This transformation in the cellular environment could be related to the mechanism of action of VDC.

Abstract
This study presents an implementation of the protein-ligand docking program GOLD and a generalizable method to predict the binding site and orientation of potential vanadium drugs. Particularly, theoretical methods were applied to the study of the interaction of two VIVO complexes with antidiabetic activity, [VIVO(pic)2(H2O)] and [VIVO(ma)2(H2O)], where pic is picolinate and ma is maltolate, with lysozyme (Lyz) for which electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy suggests the binding of the moieties VO(pic)2 and VO(ma)2 through a carboxylate group of an amino acid residue (Asp or Glu). The work is divided in three parts: (1) the generation of a new series of parameters in GOLD program for vanadium compounds and the validation of the method on five X-ray structures of VIVO and VV species bound to proteins; (2) the prediction of the binding site and enantiomeric preference of [VO(pic)2(H2O)] to lysozyme, for which the X-ray diffraction analysis displays the interaction of a unique isomer (i.e., OC-6-23-Δ) through Asp52 residue, and the subsequent refinement of the results with quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics methods; (3) the application of the same approach to the interaction of [VO(ma)2(H2O)] with lysozyme. The results show that convenient implementation of protein-ligand docking programs allows for satisfactorily reproducing X-ray structures of metal complexes that interact with only one coordination site with proteins and predicting with blind procedures relevant low-energy binding modes. The results also demonstrate that the combination of docking methods with spectroscopic data could represent a new tool to predict (metal complex)-protein interactions and have a general applicability in this field, including for paramagnetic species.

Abstract
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the (51)V hyperfine coupling (HFC) tensor A have been completed for 20 "bare" V(IV) complexes with different donor sets, electric charges, and coordination geometries. Calculations were performed with ORCA and Gaussian software, using functionals BP86, TPSS0, B1LYP, PBE0, B3LYP, B3P, B3PW, O3LYP, BHandHLYP, BHandH, and B2PLYP. Among the basis sets, 6-311g(d,p), 6-311++g(d,p), VTZ, cc-pVTZ, def2-TZVPP, and the "core properties" CP(PPP) were tested. The experimental Aiso and Ai (where i = x or z, depending on the geometry and electronic structure of V(IV) complex) were compared with the values calculated by DFT methods. The results indicated that, based on the mean absolute percentage deviation (MAPD), the best functional to predict Aiso or Ai is the double hybrid B2PLYP. With this functional and the basis set VTZ, it is possible to predict the Aiso and Az of the EPR spectrum of amavadin with deviations of -1.1% and -2.0% from the experimental values. The results allowed us to divide the spectra of nonoxido V(IV) compounds in three types-called "type 1", "type 2", and "type 3", characterized by different composition of the singly occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) and relationship between the values of Ax, Ay, and Az. For "type 1" spectra, Az ≫ Ax ≈ Ay and Az is in the range of (135-155) × 10(-4) cm(-1); for "type 2" spectra, Ax ≈ Ay ≫ Az and Ax ≈ Ay are in the range of (90-120) × 10(-4) cm(-1); and for the intermediate spectra of "type 3", Az > Ay > Ax or Ax > Ay > Az, with Az or Ax values in the range of (120-135) × 10(-4) cm(-1). The electronic structure of the V(IV) species was also discussed, and the results showed that the values of Ax or Az are correlated with the percent contribution of V-dxy orbital in the SOMO. Similarly to V(IV)O species, for amavadin the SOMO is based mainly on the V-dxy orbital, and this accounts for the large experimental value of Az (153 × 10(-4) cm(-1)).

Behavior of the potential antitumor V(IV)O complexes formed by flavonoid ligands. 3. Antioxidant properties and radical production capability. J Inorg Biochem 2016; 161:18-26. [PMID: 27184413 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2016.04.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2015] [Revised: 04/12/2016] [Accepted: 04/18/2016] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
The radical production capability and the antioxidant properties of some V(IV)O complexes formed by flavonoid ligands were examined. In particular, the bis-chelated species of quercetin (que), [VO(que)2](2-), and morin (mor), [VO(mor)2], were evaluated for their capability to reduce the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and produce the hydroxyl radical (•)OH by Fenton-like reactions, where the reducing agent is V(IV)O(2+). The results were compared with those displayed by other V(IV)O complexes, such as [VO(H2O)5](2+), [VO(acac)2] (acac=acetylacetonate) and [VO(cat)2](2-) (cat=catecholate). The capability of the V(IV)O flavonoids complexes to reduce DPPH is much larger than that of the V(IV)O species formed by non-antioxidant ligands and it is due mainly to the flavonoid molecule. Through the 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) spin trapping assay of the hydroxyl radical it was possible to demonstrate that in acidic solution V(IV)O(2+) has an effectiveness in producing (•)OH radicals comparable to that of Fe(2+). When V(IV)O complexes of flavonoids were taken into account, the amount of hydroxyl radicals produced in Fenton-like reactions depends on the specific structure of the ligand and on their capability to reduce H2O2 to give (•)OH. Both the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under physiological conditions by V(IV)O complexes of flavonoid ligands and their radical scavenging capability can be put in relationship with their antitumor effectiveness and it could be possible to modulate these actions by changing the features of the flavonoid coordinated to the V(IV)O(2+) ion, such as the entity, nature and position of the substituents and the number of phenolic groups.

Abstract
A series of mononuclear non-oxido vanadium(IV) [V(IV)(L(1-4))2] (1-4), oxidoethoxido vanadium(V) [V(V)O(L(1-4))(OEt)] (5-8), and dinuclear μ-oxidodioxidodivanadium(V) [V(V)2O3(L(1))2] (9) complexes with tridentate aroylazine ligands are reported [H2L(1) = 2-furoylazine of 2-hydroxy-1-acetonaphthone, H2L(2) = 2-thiophenoylazine of 2-hydroxy-1-acetonaphthone, H2L(3) = 1-naphthoylazine of 2-hydroxy-1-acetonaphthone, H2L(4) = 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoylazine of 2-hydroxy-1-acetonaphthone]. The complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, by various spectroscopic techniques, and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (for 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9). The non-oxido V(IV) complexes (1-4) are quite stable in open air as well as in solution, and DFT calculations allow predicting EPR and UV-vis spectra and the electronic structure. The solution behavior of the [V(V)O(L(1-4))(OEt)] compounds (5-8) is studied confirming the formation of at least two different types of V(V) species in solution, monomeric corresponding to 5-8, and μ-oxidodioxidodivanadium [V(V)2O3(L(1-4))2] compounds. The μ-oxidodioxidodivanadium compound [V(V)2O3(L(1))2] (9), generated from the corresponding mononuclear complex [V(V)O(L(1))(OEt)] (5), is characterized in solution and in the solid state. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of the non-oxido vanadium(IV) compounds (2 and 3) show a N2O4 binding set and a trigonal prismatic geometry, and those of the V(V)O complexes 5, 6, and 8 and the μ-oxidodioxidodivanadium(V) (9) reveal that the metal center is in a distorted square pyramidal geometry with O4N binding sets. For the μ-oxidodioxidodivanadium species in equilibrium with 5-8 in CH2Cl2, no mixed-valence complexes are detected by chronocoulometric and EPR studies. However, upon progressive transfer of two electrons, two distinct monomeric V(IV)O species are detected and characterized by EPR spectroscopy and DFT calculations.

Abstract
The biotransformation in the plasma and red blood cells of two potential antitumor V(IV)O complexes formed by flavonoid ligands (quercetin or que and morin or mor) and their sulfonic derivatives (quercetin-5'-sulfonic acid or que(S) and morin-5'-sulfonic acid or mor(S)) was studied by spectroscopic (EPR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) and computational (DFT, Density Functional Theory) methods. Que and que(S) form with V(IV)O stable complexes, and in the systems with apo-transferrin (apo-hTf) and albumin (HSA) VO(que)2 and VO(que(S))2 remain unchanged. VO(mor)2 and VO(mor(S))2 undergo displacement reactions to give the partial formation of (VO)x(HSA) and (VO)(apo-hTf)/(VO)2(apo-hTf); moreover, mor(S) forms with apo-transferrin and albumin mixed species VO-mor(S)-apo-hTf and VO-mor(S)-HSA. In the systems with apo-hTf and HSA anisotropic EPR spectra at room temperature are detected in which the protein is not directly coordinated to V(IV)O(2+) ion. This is explained assuming that the bis-chelated complexes interact strongly with the proteins through a network of hydrogen bonds with the polar groups present on the protein surface. It is suggested that this "indirect" transport of V(IV)O species could be common to all the species containing ligands which can interact with the blood proteins. Uptake experiments by red blood cells were also carried out, using vanadium concentration of 5.0×10(-4)M and incubation time in the range 0-160min. VO(que)2/VO(que(S))2 and VO(mor)2/VO(mor(S))2 cross the erythrocytes membrane and in the cytosol VO(que)2/VO(que(S))2 do not transform, whereas VO(mor)2/VO(mor(S))2 give the partial formation of mixed species with hemoglobin (Hb) and other V(IV)O complexes.

Abstract
Oxidovanadium(IV) complexes with 5-cyanopyridine-2-carboxylic acid (HpicCN), 3,5-difluoropyridine-2-carboxylic acid (HpicFF), 3-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid (H2hypic), and pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (Hprz) have been synthesized and characterized in the solid state and aqueous solution through elemental analysis, IR and EPR spectroscopy, potentiometric titrations, and DFT simulations. The crystal structures of the complexes (OC-6-23)-[VO(picCN)2(H2O)]·2H2O (1·2H2O), (OC-6-24)-[VO(picCN)2(H2O)]·4H2O (2·4H2O), (OC-6-24)-Na[VO(Hhypic)3]·H2O (4), and two enantiomers of (OC-6-24)-[VO(prz)2(H2O)] (Λ-5 and Δ-5) have been determined also by X-ray crystallography. 1 presents the first crystallographic evidence for the formation of a OC-6-23 isomer for bis(picolinato) V(IV)O complexes, whereas 2, 4, and 5 possess the more common OC-6-24 arrangement. The strength order of the ligands is H2hypic ≫ HpicCN > Hprz > HpicFF, and this results in a different behavior at pH 7.40. In organic and aqueous solution the three isomers OC-6-23, OC-6-24, and OC-6-42 are formed, and this is confirmed by DFT simulations. In all the systems with apo-transferrin (VO)2(apo-hTf) is the main species in solution, with the hydrolytic V(IV)O species becoming more important with lowering the strength of the ligand. In the systems with albumin, (VO)(x)HSA (x = 5, 6) coexists with VOL2(HSA) and VOL(HSA)(H2O) when L = picCN, prz, with [VO(Hhypic)(hypic)](-), [VO(hypic)2](2-), and [(VO)4(μ-hypic)4(H2O)4] when H2hypic is studied, and with the hydrolytic V(IV)O species when HpicFF is examined. Finally, the consequence of the hydrolysis on the binding of V(IV)O(2+) to the blood proteins, the possible uptake of V species by the cells, and the possible relationship with the insulin-enhancing activity are discussed.

Abstract
This study presents the first systematic investigation of the anti-diabetic properties of non-oxido V(IV) complexes. In particular, the insulin-mimetic activity of [V(IV)(taci)2](4+), [V(IV)(inoH-3)2](2-), [V(IV)(dhab)2], [V(IV)(hyph(Ph))2], [V(IV)(cat)3](2-) and [V(IV)(pdbh)2]--where taci is 1,3,5-triamino-1,3,5-trideoxy-cis-inositol, ino is cis-inositol, H2dhab is 2,2'-dihydroxyazobenzene, H2hyph(Ph) is 3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole, H2cat is catechol and H2pdbh is pentan-2,4-dione benzoylhydrazone--was evaluated in terms of free fatty acid (FFA) release. Among the six compounds examined, only [V(IV)(pdbh)2], [V(IV)(cat)3](2-) and [V(IV)(hyph(Ph))2], which at the physiological pH convert to the corresponding V(IV)O complexes, were found to exhibit a significant insulin-mimetic activity compared to VOSO4. In contrast, [V(taci)2](4+), [V(inoH-3)2](2-) and [V(dhab)2], which at pH 7.4 keep their 'bare' non-oxido structure, did not cause any inhibition of FFA. The results, therefore, suggest that a V(IV)O functionality is necessary for vanadium complexes to exhibit anti-diabetic effects. This agrees with the notion that the biotransformations of V compounds in the organism are more important than the nature of the species.

Abstract
The interaction of V(IV)O(2+) ion with hemoglobin (Hb) was studied with the combined application of spectroscopic (EPR), spectrophotometric (UV-vis), and computational (DFT methods) techniques. Binding of Hb to V(IV)O(2+) in vitro was proved, and three unspecific sites (named α, β, and γ) were characterized, with the probable coordination of His-N, Asp-O(-), and Glu-O(-) donors. The value of log β for (VO)Hb is 10.4, significantly lower than for human serum apo-transferrin (hTf). In the systems with V(IV)O potential antidiabetic compounds, mixed species cis-VOL2(Hb) (L = maltolate (ma), 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinonate (dhp)) are observed with equatorial binding of an accessible His residue, whereas no ternary complexes are observed with acetylacetonate (acac). The experiments of uptake of [VO(ma)2], [VO(dhp)2], and [VO(acac)2] by red blood cells indicate that the neutral compounds penetrate the erythrocyte membrane through passive diffusion, and percent amounts higher than 50% are found in the intracellular medium. The biotransformation of [VO(ma)2], [VO(dhp)2], and [VO(acac)2] inside the red blood cells was proved. [VO(dhp)2] transforms quantitatively in cis-VO(dhp)2(Hb), [VO(ma)2] in cis-VO(ma)2(Hb), and cis-VO(ma)2(Cys-S(-)), with the equatorial coordination of a thiolate-S(-) of GSH or of a membrane protein, and [VO(acac)2] in the binary species (VO)xHb and two V(IV)O complexes with formulation VO(L(1),L(2)) and VO(L(3),L(4)), where L(1), L(2), L(3), and L(4) are red blood cell bioligands. The results indicate that, in the studies on the transport of a potential pharmacologically active V species, the interaction with red blood cells and Hb cannot be neglected, that a distribution between the erythrocytes and plasma is achieved, and that these processes can significantly influence the effectiveness of a V drug.

Abstract
The interaction of VO(2+) ion and four insulin-enhancing compounds, [VO(ma)2], [VO(dhp)2], [VO(acac)2], and cis-[VO(pic)2(H2O)], where Hma, Hdhp, Hacac, and Hpic are maltol, 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridinone, acetylacetone, and picolinic acid, with holo-transferrin (holo-hTf) was studied through the combined application of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and density functional theory (DFT) methods. Since in holo-hTf all of the specific binding sites of transferrin are saturated by Fe(3+) ions, VO(2+) can interact with surface sites (here named sites C), probably via the coordination of His-N, Asp-COO(-), and Glu-COO(-) donors. In the ternary systems with the insulin-enhancing compounds, mixed species are observed with Hma, Hdhp, and Hpic with the formation of VOL2(holo-hTf), explained through the interaction of cis-[VOL2(H2O)] (L = ma, dhp) or cis-[VOL2(OH)](-) (L = pic) with an accessible His residue that replaces the monodentate H2O or OH(-) ligand. The residues of His-289, His-349, His-473, and His-606 seem the most probable candidates for the complexation of the cis-VOL2 moiety. The lack of a ternary complex with Hacac was attributed to the square-pyramidal structure of [VO(acac)2], which does not possess equatorial sites that can be replaced by the surface His-N. Since holo-transferrin is recognized by the transferrin receptor, the formation of ternary complexes between VO(2+) ion, a ligand L(-), and holo-hTf may be a way to transport vanadium compounds inside the cells.
