Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although several treatment regimens for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), trouble is still ongoing that relapse of disease after therapies in both pediatric and adult patients. Hence, the demand for new alternative therapeutics that are antiproliferative for cancer cells but do not harm healthy cells in treatments is increasing day by day. This study aimed to investigate whether succinic acid show anti-proliferative and apoptotic effect of on T-ALL cell lines. METHODS Time and dose-dependent effects of succinic acid on T-ALL cell lines were determined by using WST-1, caspase-3/ bicinchoninic acid (BCA), and Annexin V-Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) assays. We included the MRC-5 cell line in our study as a healthy control group. RESULTS Based on our findings, 25 and 50 mmol dosages of succinic acid has shown an apoptotic effect on T-ALL cell lines for 48 h treatment. Also, it has shown that after 48 h exposure of 25 and 50 mmol dosages of succinic acid has no significant cytotoxic effect in healthy MRC-5 cells. Apoptotic activity of succinic acid on CCRF-CEM cell line was caspase-3 dependent but not for MOLT-4. As a consequence, succinic acid was found to effect for T-ALL treatment in vitro and might also enlighten new study fields for different cancer experiments.

Equilibria in Aqueous Cobalt(II)-Reduced Schiff Base N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)alanine System: Chemical Characterization, Kinetic Analysis, Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Properties. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25153462. [PMID: 32751474 PMCID: PMC7436002 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25153462] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Revised: 07/27/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study describes the coordination properties of a reduced Schiff base, N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)alanine, towards cobalt(II) using potentiometric as well as spectroscopic (UV-Vis and ESI-MS) methods. The results indicate the formation of six mononuclear complexes showing high stability in aqueous solution. Coordination occurs in the {O−phenolic,N,O−carboxyl} and {N,O−carboxyl} chelation modes, depending on the degree of ligand deprotonation. Examination of the complexation equilibria at pH ca 7, which is important from a biological point of view, allowed to identify two species: [CoL] and [CoL2H]−. The kinetic analysis showed a structural change of those cobalt(II) complexes from octahedral to tetrahedral in accordance with a first-order time relationship. The antimicrobial properties of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)alanine, cobalt(II) nitrate and of the Co(II) – ligand complexes were determined against Gram-positive bacteria (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis), Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori) and a fungal strain (Candida). The results indicate that the complexes are more active for more strains than the ligand alone. Nevertheless, the complexes induce a higher decrease in the metabolic activity of cells but without damage to nuclei. Tetrahedral structures show stronger anti-cellular toxicity than octahedral complexes, which is most likely due to the higher accessibility of the cobalt(II) center.

Abstract
We have prepared six thiosemicarbazone ligands and synthesized the corresponding Ga(iii) complexes. The antitumor activity of the ligand increases with its lipophilicity, and the antitumor activity of the Ga(iii) complexes is affected by the ligands. Since C6 has the highest anticancer proliferative activity (0.14 ± 0.01 μM) against HepG-2 (Human hepatocarcinoma cell line), we characterized its structure by X-ray single crystal diffraction and explored its antiproliferation mechanism. Anti-tumor mechanism results show that Ga(iii) complex (C6) promoted HepG-2 cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase by regulating the expression of cell cycle-associated proteins (Cdk 2, cyclin A and cyclin E). Ga(iii) complex (C6) promotes apoptosis by consuming intracellular iron, enhancing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), activating caspase-3/9, releasing cytochromes and apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (apaf-1).

Abstract
Water-soluble porphyrins are considered promising drug candidates for photodynamic therapy (PDT). This study investigated the PDT activity of a new water-soluble, anionic porphyrin (1-Zn), which possesses four negative charges. The photodynamic anticancer activity of 1-Zn was investigated by the MTT assay, with mTHPC as a positive control. The cellular distribution was determined by fluorescence microscopy. Holographic and phase contrast images were recorded after 1-Zn treatment with a HoloMonitor™ M3 instrument. The inhibition of A549 cell growth achieved by inducing apoptosis was investigated by flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. DNA damage was investigated by the comet assay. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was also measured by western blot assays. 1-Zn had better phototoxicity against A549 cells than HeLa and HepG2 cancer cells. Interestingly, 1-Zn was clearly located almost entirely in the cell cytoplasmic region/organelles. The late apoptotic population was less than 1.0% at baseline in the untreated and only light-treated cells and increased to 40.5% after 1-Zn treatment and irradiation (P < 0.05). 1-Zn triggered significant ROS generation after irradiation, causing ΔΨm disruption (P < 0.01) and DNA damage. 1-Zn induced A549 cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. In addition, 1-Zn bound in the groove of DNA via an outside binding mode by pi-pi stacking and hydrogen bonding. 1-Zn exhibits good photonuclease activity and might serve as a potential photosensitizer (PS) for lung cancer cells.
