Abstract
A general and practical methodology for the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of multifunctional tetrasubstituted allylic amines and azides based on iodoamination of ferrocene-containing allenylphosphonates with anilines and sodium azide is described. A tetrasubstituted olefin moiety, as well as an iodine atom, a phosphonate, and a ferrocene group, are installed to the allylic amine motif simultaneously in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
Fatalities caused by infectious diseases (i.e., diseases caused by parasite, bacteria, and viruses) have become reinstated as a major public health threat globally. Factors such as antimicrobial resistance and viral complications are the key contributors to the death numbers. As a result, new compounds with structural diversity classes are critical for controlling the virulence of pathogens that are multi-drug resistant. Derivatization of bio-active organic molecules with organometallic synthons is a promising strategy for modifying the inherent and enhanced properties of biomolecules. Due to their redox chemistry, bioactivity, and structural diversity, organometallic moieties make excellent candidates for lead structures in drug development. Furthermore, organometallic compounds open an array of potential in therapy that existing organic molecules lack, i.e., their ability to fulfill drug availability and resolve the frequent succumbing of organic molecules to drug resistance. Additionally, metal complexes have the potential towards metal-specific modes of action, preventing bacteria from developing resistance mechanisms. This review's main contribution is to provide a thorough account of the biological efficacy (in vitro and in vitro) of metal-based complexes against infectious diseases. This resource can also be utilized in conjunction with corresponding journals on metal-based complexes investigated against infectious diseases.

Abstract
Deep ultraviolet (DUV) resonance Raman experiments are performed, investigating the novel, promising antimalarial ferroquine (FQ). Two buffered aqueous solutions with pH values of 5.13 and 7.00 are used, simulating the acidic and neutral conditions inside a parasite's digestive vacuole and cytosol, respectively. To imitate the different polarities of the membranes and interior, the buffer's 1,4-dioxane content was increased. These experimental conditions should mimic the transport of the drug inside malaria-infected erythrocytes through parasitophorous membranes. Supporting density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the drug's micro-speciation were performed, which could be nicely assigned to shifts in the peak positions of resonantly enhanced high-wavenumber Raman signals at λexc = 257 nm. FQ is fully protonated in polar mixtures like the host interior and the parasite's cytoplasm or digestive vacuole (DV) and is only present as a free base in nonpolar ones, such as the host's and parasitophorous membranes. Additionally, the limit of detection (LoD) of FQ at vacuolic pH values was determined using DUV excitation wavelengths at 244 and 257 nm. By applying the resonant laser line at λexc = 257 nm, a minimal FQ concentration of 3.1 μM was detected, whereas the pre-resonant excitation wavelength 244 nm provides an LoD of 6.9 μM. These values were all up to one order of magnitude lower than the concentration found for the food vacuole of a parasitized erythrocyte.

Abstract
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), Chagas disease or American Trypanosomiasis (CD), and leishmaniases are protozoan infections produced by trypanosomatid parasites belonging to the kinetoplastid order and they constitute an urgent global health problem. In fact, there is an urgent need of more efficient and less toxic chemotherapy for these diseases. Medicinal inorganic chemistry currently offers an attractive option for the rational design of new drugs and, in particular, antiparasitic ones. In this sense, one of the main strategies for the design of metal-based antiparasitic compounds has been the coordination of an organic ligand with known or potential biological activity, to a metal centre or an organometallic core. Classical metal coordination complexes or organometallic compounds could be designed as multifunctional agents joining, in a single molecule, different chemical species that could affect different parasitic targets. This review is focused on the rational design of palladium(II) and platinum(II) compounds with bioactive ligands as prospective drugs against trypanosomatid parasites that has been conducted by our group during the last 20 years.

Abstract
In the search for a more effective chemotherapy for the treatment of Human African Trypanosomiasis, a disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the development of ferrocenyl compounds has arisen as a promising strategy. In this work, five new Pd-Fe heterobimetallic [PdII(L)(dppf)](PF6) compounds, including 8-hydroxyquinolyl derivatives HL1-HL5 as bioactive ligands and dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene as the organometallic co-ligand, were synthesized and fully characterized in the solid state and in solution. Molecular structures of three compounds were solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The compounds displayed submicromolar or micromolar IC50 values against bloodstream T. brucei (IC50: 0.33-1.2 μM), and good selectivity towards the pathogen (SI: 4-102) with respect to mammalian macrophages (cell line J774). The new Pd complexes proved to be 2-fold to 45-fold more potent than the drug nifurtimox but most of them are less active than their Pt analogues. Potential molecular targets were studied. The complexes interact with DNA but they do not alter the intracellular thiol-redox homeostasis of the parasite. In order to understand and predict the main structural determinants on the anti-T. brucei activity, a search of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) was performed including all the [M(L)(dppf)](PF6) complexes, where M = Pd(ii) or Pt(ii), currently and previously developed by us. The correlation obtained shows the relevance of the electronic effects, the lipophilicity and the type of metal. According to the QSAR study, compounds with electron-withdrawing ligands, higher lipophilicity and harboring Pt would result in higher T. brucei cytotoxicity. From the whole series of [M(L)(dppf)](PF6) compounds developed, where M = Pt(ii) or Pd(ii) and HL = 8-hydroxyquinolyl derivatives, Pt-dppf-L4 (IC50 = 0.14 μM, SI = 48) was selected to perform an exploratory pre-clinical study in infected mice. This hit compound lacks acute toxicity when applied to animals in the dose/regimen described and exerts an anti-proliferative effect on parasites, which extends animal survival but is not curative.

Abstract
Milk is an attractive lipid-based formulation for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs to pediatric populations. We recently observed that solubilization of artefenomel (OZ439) during in vitro intestinal lipolysis was driven by digestion of triglycerides in full-cream bovine milk, reflecting the ability of milk to act as an enabling formulation in the clinic. However, when OZ439 was co-administered with a second antimalarial drug, ferroquine (FQ) the exposure of OZ439 was reduced. The current study therefore aimed to understand the impact of the presence of FQ on the solubilization of OZ439 in milk during in vitro intestinal digestion. Synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering was used for in situ monitoring of drug solubilization (inferred via decreases in the intensity of drug diffraction peaks) and polymorphic transformations that occurred during the course of digestion. Quantification of the amount of each drug solubilized over time and analysis of their distributions across the separated phases of digested milk were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The results show that FQ reduced the solubilization of OZ439 during milk digestion, which may be due to competitive binding of FQ to the digested milk products. Interactions between the protonated FQ-H+ and ionized liberated free fatty acids resulted in the formation of amorphous salts, which removes the low-energy crystalline state as a barrier to dissolution of FQ, while inhibiting the solubilization of OZ439. We conclude that although milk could enhance the solubilization of poorly water-soluble OZ439 during in vitro digestion principally due to the formation of fatty acids, the solubilization efficiency was reduced by the presence of FQ by competition for the available fatty acids. Assessment of the solubilization of both drugs during digestion of fixed-dose combination lipid formulations (such as milk) is important and may rationalize changes in bioavailability when compared to that of the individual drugs in the same formulation.

Abstract
Searching for prospective agents against infectious diseases, four new ferrocenyl derivatives, [M(L)(dppf)4](PF6), with M = Pd(II) or Pt(II), dppf = 1,1'-bis(dipheny1phosphino) ferrocene and HL = tropolone (HTrop) or hinokitiol (HHino), were synthesized and characterized. Complexes and ligands were evaluated against the bloodstream form of T. brucei, L. infantum amastigotes, M. tuberculosis (MTB) sensitive strain and MTB clinical isolates. Complexes showed a significant increase of the anti-T. brucei activity with respect to the free ligands (>28- and >46-fold for Trop and 6- and 22-fold for Hino coordinated to Pt-dppf and Pd-dppf, respectively), yielding IC50 values < 5 μM. The complexes proved to be more potent than the antitrypanosomal drug Nifurtimox. The new ferrocenyl derivatives were more selective towards the parasite than the free ligands. The Pt compounds were less toxic on J774 murine macrophages (mammalian cell model), than the Pd ones, showing selectivity index values (SI = IC50 murine macrophage/IC50T. brucei) up to 23. Generation of the {M-dppf} compounds lead to a slightly positive impact on the anti-leishmanial potency. Although the ferrocenyl derivatives were more active on sensitive MTB than the free ligands (MIC90 = 9.88-14.73 μM), they showed low selectivity towards the pathogen. Related to the mechanism of action, the antiparasitic effect cannot be ascribed to an interference of the compounds with the thiol-redox homeostasis of the pathogen. Fluorescence measurements pointed at DNA as a probable target of the new compounds. [Pt(Trop)(dppf)](PF6) and [Pt(Hino)(dppf)](PF6) could be considered prospective anti-T. brucei agents that deserve further research.

Characterization of the Activities of Dinuclear Thiolato-Bridged Arene Ruthenium Complexes against Toxoplasma gondii. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2017; 61:AAC.01031-17.

Abstract
The in vitro effects of 18 dinuclear thiolato-bridged arene ruthenium complexes (1 monohiolato compound, 4 dithiolato compounds, and 13 trithiolato compounds), originally designed as anticancer agents, on the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii grown in human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) host cells were studied. Some trithiolato compounds exhibited antiparasitic efficacy at concentrations of 250 nM and below. Among those, complex 1 and complex 2 inhibited T. gondii proliferation with 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of 34 and 62 nM, respectively, and they did not affect HFFs at dosages of 200 μM or above, resulting in selectivity indices of >23,000. The IC50s of complex 9 were 1.2 nM for T. gondii and above 5 μM for HFFs. Transmission electron microscopy detected ultrastructural alterations in the matrix of the parasite mitochondria at the early stages of treatment, followed by a more pronounced destruction of tachyzoites. However, none of the three compounds applied at 250 nM for 15 days was parasiticidal. By affinity chromatography using complex 9 coupled to epoxy-activated Sepharose followed by mass spectrometry, T. gondii translation elongation factor 1α and two ribosomal proteins, RPS18 and RPL27, were identified to be potential binding proteins. In conclusion, organometallic ruthenium complexes exhibit promising activities against Toxoplasma, and the potential mechanisms of action of these compounds as well as their prospective applications for the treatment of toxoplasmosis are discussed.

Abstract
In search of prospective agents against infectious diseases, 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene pyridine-2-thiolato-1-oxide M(ii) hexafluorophosphate compounds [M(mpo)(dppf)](PF6), where M = palladium or platinum, were synthesized and fully characterized in the solid state and in solution using experimental and DFT computational techniques. The compounds are isomorphous and the M(ii) transition metal ions are in a nearly planar trapezoidal cis-coordination bound to the pyridine-2-thiolato-1-oxide (mpo) and to the 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene molecules, both acting as bidentate ligands. Both compounds showed high cytotoxic activity on Trypanosoma cruzi and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and acceptable selectivities towards MTB, but good to excellent selectivity index values as anti-T. cruzi compounds. The inclusion of the ferrocene moiety (dppf ligand) improved the selectivity towards the parasite when compared to the previously reported [M(mpo)2] complexes. Related to the probable mechanism of action of the complexes, molecular docking studies on modelled T. cruzi NADH-fumarate reductase (TcFR) predicted that both be very good inhibitors of the enzyme. The effect of the compounds on the enzyme activity was experimentally confirmed using T. cruzi protein extracts. According to all obtained results, both [M(mpo)(dppf)](PF6) compounds could be considered prospective anti-trypanosomal agents that deserve further research.

Abstract
The photophysical properties of [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br (L-N3 =2-azido-N,N-bis[(quinolin-2-yl)methyl]ethanamine), which could not be localized in cancer cells by fluorescence microscopy, have been revisited in order to evaluate its use as a luminescent probe in a biological environment. The Re(I) complex displays concentration-dependent residual fluorescence besides the expected phosphorescence, and the nature of the emitting excited states have been evaluated by DFT and time-dependent (TD) DFT methods. The results show that fluorescence occurs from a (1) LC/MLCT state, whereas phosphorescence mainly stems from a (3) LC state, in contrast to previous assignments. We found that our luminescent probe, [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br, exhibits an interesting cytotoxic activity in the low micromolar range in various cancer cell lines. Several biochemical assays were performed to unveil the cytotoxic mechanism of the organometallic Re(I) bisquinoline complex. [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br was found to be stable in human plasma indicating that [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br itself and not a decomposition product is responsible for the observed cytotoxicity. Addition of [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br to MCF-7 breast cancer cells grown on a biosensor chip micro-bioreactor immediately led to reduced cellular respiration and increased glycolysis, indicating a large shift in cellular metabolism and inhibition of mitochondrial activity. Further analysis of respiration of isolated mitochondria clearly showed that mitochondrial respiratory activity was a direct target of [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br and involved two modes of action, namely increased respiration at lower concentrations, potentially through increased proton transport through the inner mitochondrial membrane, and efficient blocking of respiration at higher concentrations. Thus, we believe that the direct targeting of mitochondria in cells by [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br is responsible for the anticancer activity.

Abstract
Malaria remains a major international health challenge. Resistance to a number of existing drugs and evidence of the emergence of artemisinin resistance has emphasized the need for new antimalarials. A new approach has been the preparation of dual-function compounds that include a chloroquine-like antimalarial group and a group that resembles a chloroquine chemosensitizer. This article reviews the recent discovery of such dual-function antimalarials that are proposed to target both hemozoin formation and the chloroquine resistance transporter, PfCRT. These are discussed in relation to the mechanism of action of 4-aminoquinolines, chloroquine resistance and resistance reversal.

Abstract
Speciation of ferriprotoporphyrin IX, Fe(III)PPIX, in aqueous solution is complex. Despite the use of its characteristic spectroscopic features for identification, the theoretical basis of the unique UV-visible absorbance spectrum of μ-[Fe(III)PPIX](2)O has not been explored. To investigate this and to establish a structural and spectroscopic model for Fe(III)PPIX species, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were undertaken for H(2)O-Fe(III)PPIX and μ-[Fe(III)PPIX](2)O. The models agreed with related Fe(III)porphyrin crystal structures and reproduced vibrational spectra well. The UV-visible absorbance spectra of H(2)O-Fe(III)PPIX and μ-[Fe(III)PPIX](2)O were calculated using time-dependent DFT and reproduced major features of the experimental spectra of both. Transitions contributing to calculated excitations have been identified. The features of the electronic spectrum calculated for μ-[Fe(III)PPIX](2)O were attributed to delocalization of electron density between the two porphyrin rings of the dimer, the weaker ligand field of the axial ligand, and antiferromagnetic coupling of the Fe(III) centers. Room temperature magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra have been recorded and are shown to be useful in distinguishing between these two Fe(III)PPIX species. Bands underlying major spectroscopic features were identified through simultaneous deconvolution of UV-visible and MCD spectra. Computed UV-visible spectra were compared to deconvoluted spectra. Interpretation of the prominent bands of H(2)O-Fe(III)PPIX largely conforms to previous literature. Owing to the weak paramagnetism of μ-[Fe(III)PPIX](2)O at room temperature and the larger number of underlying excitations, interpretation of its experimental UV-visible spectrum was necessarily tentative. Nonetheless, comparison with the calculated spectra of antiferromagnetically coupled and paramagnetic forms of the μ-oxo dimer of Fe(III)porphine suggested that the composition of the Soret band involves a mixture of π→π* and π→d(π) charge transfer transitions. The Q-band and charge transfer bands appear to amalgamate into a mixed low energy envelope consisting of excitations with heavily admixed π→π* and charge transfer transitions.
