Abstract
The organometallic compounds are prospective candidates in the row of developing metallochemotherapeutics with the aim of overcoming the limitations of platinum drugs. In order to explore the anticancer properties of organometallic compounds with the natural medicines, two Ru(II)-p-cymene complexes containing the natural products, viz., 6-gingerol (6G) and benzylated-6-gingerdione (B-6GD) have been synthesized and characterized well. The phenolic group of the Ru(6G) complex facilitates its higher cell-free antioxidant activity than its analogue complex. Also, the same complex shows higher cytotoxicity toward A549 lung and HeLa-S3 cervical cancer cells than the Ru(B-6GD) complex but lower cytotoxicity toward A2058 metastatic melanoma cancer cells. Both complexes are shown to easily accumulate in melanoma cancer cells, and their degree of cytotoxicity in the same cells is found to be positively correlated with cell uptake. The cytotoxicity of complexes arises from their intracellular activity, mainly due to the induction of singlet oxygen production in cancer cells. The subcellular fractionation study shows that mitochondria and ER-Golgi membranes might be their predominant targets. Also, the mechanistic investigation revealed that Ru(B-6GD) induces caspase-dependent non-apoptotic cell death whereas Ru(6G) can induce caspase-independent non-apoptotic cell death. Furthermore, both complexes are found to moderately alter the adhesion properties of cancer cells, which is beneficial for antimetastatic treatment. Despite the potential pharmacological activity, Ru(6G) is encapsulated into polymer-supported liposomes to reduce its toxicity and further improve its anticancer potency. The π-conjugated yne-ene chain of polydiacetylene aids in the development of a stable nanoformulation, which achieved a slow release of the complex. Most importantly, the cancer cell uptake of the liposome-encapsulated Ru(6G) complex is 20 times enhanced and the total ROS formation in cancer cells is significantly increased compared to the non-encapsulated complex. However, the nanoformulation does not alter the antimetastatic potency of the encapsulated complex.

Abstract
An important challenge in the field of anticancer chemotherapy is the search for new species to overcome the resistance of standard drugs. An interesting approach is to link bioactive ligands to metal fragments. In this work, we have synthesized a set of p-cymene-Ru or cyclopentadienyl-M (M = Rh, Ir) complexes with four chrysin-derived pro-ligands with different -OR substituents at position 7 of ring A. The introduction of a piperidine ring on chrysin led to the highly cytotoxic pro-ligand HL4 and its metal complexes L4-M (SW480 and A549 cell lines, cytotoxic order: L4-Ir > L4-Ru ≈ L4-Rh). HL4 and its complexes induce apoptosis and can overcome cis-platinum resistance. However, HL4 turns out to be more cytotoxic in healthy than in tumor cells in contrast to its metal complexes which displayed higher selectivity than cisplatin towards cancer cells. All L4-M complexes interact with double stranded DNA. Nonetheless, the influence of the metal is clear because only complex L4-Ir causes DNA cleavage, through the generation of highly reactive oxygen species (1O2). This result supports the hypothesis of a potential dual mechanism consisting of two different chemical pathways: DNA binding and ROS generation. This behavior provides this complex with a great effectivity in terms of cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs are most likely the most successful group of bioinorganic compounds. Their apparent disadvantages have led to the development of anticancer compounds of other noble metals, resulting in several ruthenium-based drugs which have entered clinical trials on oncological patients. Besides ruthenium, numerous rhodium complexes have been recently reported as highly potent antiproliferative agents against various human cancer cells, making them potential alternatives to Pt- and Ru-based metallodrugs. In this review, half-sandwich Rh(III) complexes are overviewed. Many representatives show higher in vitro potency than and different mechanisms of action (MoA) from the conventional anticancer metallodrugs (cisplatin in most cases) or clinically studied Ru drug candidates. Furthermore, some of the reviewed Rh(III) arenyl complexes are also anticancer in vivo. Pioneer anticancer organorhodium compounds as well as the recent advances in the field are discussed properly, and adequate attention is paid to their anticancer activity, solution behaviour and various processes connected with their MoA. In summary, this work summarizes the types of compounds and the most important biological results obtained in the field of anticancer half-sandwich Rh complexes.

Abstract
Hypoxia activated Co(III) complexes as prodrugs may provide with a selective delivery of cytotoxic or antibacterial compounds. Whithin this field sixteen novel Co(III) ternary complexes with the general formula [Co(4N)(flav)](ClO4)2, where 4N = tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) or tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (tpa) and flav = deprotonated form of differently substituted flavonols have been synthesized, characterized, and their cytotoxicity assayed under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Molecular structures of two free flavonols and seven complexes are also reported. In all the complexes the bioligands exhibited the expected (O,O) coordination mode and the complexes showed a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Cyclic voltammetric studies revealed that both the substituents of the flavonoles and the type of 4N donor ligands had an impact on the reduction potential of the complex. The ones containing tren demonstrated significantly higher stability than the tpa analogues, making these former compounds promising candidates for the development of hypoxia-activated prodrug complexes. Tpa complexes showed higher activity against both selected human cancer cell lines (A549, A431) than their free ligand flavonols, indicating that the anticancer activity of the bioligand can be enhanced upon complexation. However, slight hypoxia-selectivity was found only for a tren complex (11) with moderate cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Our goal was to explore the possible interactions of the potential metallodrug (η5-Cp*)Rh(III) complexes with histidine containing biomolecules (peptides/proteins) in order to understand the most important thermodynamic factors influencing the biospeciation and biotransformation of (η5-Cp*)Rh(III) complexes. To this end, here we report systematic solution thermodynamic and solution structural study on the interaction of (η5-Cp*)Rh(III) cation with histidine containing peptides and their constituents ((N-methyl)imidazole, GGA-OH, GGH-OH, histidine-amide, HGG-OH, GHG-NH2), based on extensive 1H NMR, ESI-MS and potentiometric investigations. The comparative evaluation of our data indicated that (η5-Cp*)Rh(III) cation is able to induce the deprotonation of amide nitrogen well below pH 7. Consequently, at physiological pH the peptides are coordinated to Rh(III) by tridentate manner, with the participation of amide nitrogen. At pH 7.4 the (η5-Cp*)Rh(III) binding affinity of peptides follow the order GGA-OH < < GGH-OH < < histidine-amide < HGG-OH < GHG-NH2, i.e. the observed binding strength essentially depends on the presence and position of histidine within the peptide sequence. We also performed computational study on the possible solution structures of complexes present at near physiological pH. At pH 7.4 all histidine containing peptides form ternary complexes with strongly coordinating (N,N) bidentate ligands (ethylenediamine or bipyridyl), in which the peptides are monodentately coordinated to Rh(III) through their imidazole N1‑nitrogens. In addition, the strongest chelators histidine-amide, HGG-OH and GHG-NH2 are also able to displace these powerful bidentate ligands from the coordination sphere of Rh(III).

Abstract
A series of homoleptic and heteroleptic bismuth(III) flavonolate complexes derived from six flavonols of varying substitution have been synthesised and structurally characterised. The complexes were evaluated for antibacterial activity towards several problematic Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE)) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria. The cell viability of COS-7 (monkey kidney) cells treated with the bismuth flavonolates was also studied to determine the effect of the complexes on mammalian cells. The heteroleptic complexes [BiPh(L)2 ] (in which L=flavonolate) showed good antibacterial activity towards all of the bacteria but reduced COS-7 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner. The homoleptic complexes [Bi(L)3 ] exhibited activity towards the Gram-positive bacteria and showed low toxicity towards the mammalian cell line. Bismuth uptake studies in VRE and COS-7 cells treated with the bismuth flavonolate complexes indicated that Bi accumulation is influenced by both the substitution of the flavonolate ligands and the degree of substitution at the bismuth centre.

Abstract
The design of multi-targeted drugs has gained considerable interest in the last decade thanks to their advantages in the treatment of different diseases, including cancer. The simultaneous inhibition of selected targets from cancerous cells to induce their death represents an attractive objective for the medicinal chemist in order to enhance the efficiency of chemotherapy. In the present work, several alkynyl gold(I) phosphane complexes derived from 3-hydroxyflavones active against three human cancer cell lines, colorectal adenocarcinoma Caco-2/TC7, breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 and hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2, have been synthesized and characterized. Moreover, these compounds display high selective index values towards differentiated Caco-2 cells, which are considered as a model of non-cancerous cells. The antiproliferative effect of the most active complexes [Au(L2b)PPh3] (3b) and [Au(L2c)PTA] (4c) on Caco-2 cells, seems to be mediated by the inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-1/2 and alteration of the activities of the redox enzymes thioredoxin reductase and glutathione reductase. Both complexes triggered cell death by apoptosis, alterations in cell cycle progression and increased of ROS production. These results provide support for the suggestion that multi-targeting approach involving the interaction with cyclooxygenase-1/2 and the redox enzymes that increases ROS production, enhances cell death in vitro. All these results indicate that complexes [Au(L2b)PPh3] and [Au(L2c)PTA] are promising antiproliferative agents for further anticancer drug development.

Abstract
RuII(η6-arene) compounds carrying bioactive flavonol ligands have shown promising anticancer activity against tumor cells via a multitargeting mode of action, i.e., through interaction with DNA and inhibition of topoisomerase IIα. By introducing a novel arene ligand based on the amino acid l-phenylalanine (Phe), we aimed to alter the pharmacological properties of the complexes. We report here a series of novel RuII(η6-arene)Cl complexes with different substituents on the phenyl ring of the flavonol which should maintain the multitargeting capability of the parent η6- p-cymene (cym) complexes. Studies with selected examples revealed stability in aqueous solution after quickly forming aqua complexes but rapid decomposition in pure DMSO. The reactions with protein and DNA models proceeded quickly and resulted in cleavage of the flavonol or adduct formation, respectively. The compounds were found to be cytotoxic with significant antiproliferative activity in cancer cells with IC50 values in the low μM range, while not following the same trends as observed for the cym analogues. Notably, the cellular accumulation of the new derivatives was significantly higher than for their respective cym complexes, and they induced DNA damage in a manner similar to that of cisplatin but to a lesser extent.

Abstract
A series of half-sandwich pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium(III) and iridium(III) complexes [Cp*M(DBM/HDB/AVB)Cl] and [Cp*M(DBM/HDB/AVB)(PTA)][SO3CF3], where Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, the proligands DBMH = dibenzoylmethane, HDBH = o-hydroxydibenzoylmethane, AVBH = avobenzone, and PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane, is reported. All the complexes were characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and DFT calculations. Five of the complexes have also been characterized in the solid-state by X-ray crystallography. The cytotoxicity of the complexes has been evaluated against human ovarian A2780 and A2780cisR cell lines and, with the only exception of complexes 1 and 2 that display a negligible cytotoxicity, exhibit moderate cytotoxicity toward both cancer cell lines. However, the complexes do not show cancer cell selectivity with respect to human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells.
