Abstract
Influence of the metal center on hydrolysis of organometallic anticancer complexes containing an N-phenyl-2-pyridinecarbothioamide (PCA) ligand, [M(η6-p-cymene)(N-phenyl-2-pyridinecarbothioamide)Cl]+ (M = RuII, 1A, and OsII, 2A), as well as their N-fluorophenyl derivatives [M(η6-p-cymene)(N-fluorophenyl-2-pyridinecarbothioamide)Cl]+ (M = RuII, 1B, and OsII, 2B) have been investigated using the DFT method in aqueous medium. The activation energy barriers for the hydrolysis of 1A (21.5 kcal/mol) and 1B (20.7 kcal/mol) are found to be significantly lower than those of their corresponding osmium analogs 2A (28.6 kcal/mol) and 2B (27.5 kcal/mol). DFT evaluated results reveal the inertness of Os(II)-PCA complex toward the hydrolysis that rationalizes the experimental observations. However, the incorporation of fluoride substituent slightly decreases the activation energy for the hydrolysis of Ru(II)- and Os(II)-PCA. In addition, the interaction of hydrolyzed Ru(II)-PCAs (1AH and 1BH) and Os(II)-PCAs (2AH and 2BH) complexes with the histidine (Hist) have also been investigated. The aquated 1BH and 2BH show an enhanced propensity toward the interaction with histidine, and their activation Gibbs free energies are calculated to be 15.9 and 18.9 kcal/mol, respectively. ONIOM (QM/MM) study of the resulting aquated complexes inside histone protein shows the maximum stability of the 2BH complex having a binding energy of -43.6 kcal/mol.

Abstract
A series of nine RuII arene complexes bearing tridentate naphthoquinone-based N,O,O-ligands was synthesized and characterized. Aqueous stability and their hydrolysis mechanism were investigated via UV/vis photometry, HPLC-MS, and density functional theory calculations. Substituents with a positive inductive effect improved their stability at physiological pH (7.4) intensely, whereas substituents such as halogens accelerated hydrolysis and formation of dimeric pyrazolate and hydroxido bridged dimers. The observed cytotoxic profile is unusual, as complexes exhibited much higher cytotoxicity in SW480 colon cancer cells than in the broadly chemo- (incl. platinum-) sensitive CH1/PA-1 teratocarcinoma cells. This activity pattern as well as reduced or slightly enhanced ROS generation and the lack of DNA interactions indicate a mode of action different from established or previously investigated classes of metallodrugs.
