Abstract
The current article reports the investigation of three new Ni(II) complexes with ONS-donor dithiocarbazate ligands: [Ni(L1)PPh3] (1), [Ni(L2)PPh3] (2), and [Ni(L2)Py] (3). Single-crystal X-ray analyses revealed mononuclear complexes with a distorted square planar geometry and the metal centers coordinated with a doubly deprotonated dithiocarbazate ligand and coligand pyridine or triphenylphosphine. The non-covalent interactions were investigated by the Hirshfeld surface and the results revealed that the strongest interactions were π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions and non-classical hydrogen bonds C-H···H and C-H···N. Physicochemical and spectroscopic methods indicate the same structures in the solid state and solution. The toxicity effects of the free ligands and Ni(II) complexes were tested on the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and non-malignant breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values, indicating that the compounds were potent in inhibiting cell growth, were obtained for both cell lines at three distinct time points. While inhibitory effects were evident in both malignant and non-malignant cells, all three complexes demonstrated lower IC50 values for malignant breast cell lines than their non-malignant counterparts, suggesting a stronger impact on cancerous cell lines. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed showing the complex (2) as a promising candidate for further therapeutic exploration.

Abstract
A series of novel macroacyclic Schiff base ligands and their Cu (II) complexes were synthesised via reacting dicarbonyls of varying chain lengths with S-methyl dithiocarbazate (SMDTC) and S-benzyl dithiocarbazate (SBDTC) followed by coordination with Cu (II) ions. X-ray crystal structures were obtained for compound 4, an SBDTC-diacetyl analogue, and Cu7, an SMDTC-hexanedione Cu (II) complex. Anticancer evaluation of the compounds showed that Cu1, an SMDTC-glyoxal complex, demonstrated the highest cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells with IC50 values of 1.7 µM and 1.4 µM, respectively. There was no clear pattern observed between the effect of chain length and cytotoxic activity; however, SMDTC-derived analogues were more active than SBDTC-derived analogues against MDA-MB-231 cells. The antibacterial assay showed that K. rhizophila was the most susceptible bacteria to the compounds, followed by S. aureus. Compound 4 and the SMDTC-derived analogues 3, 5, Cu7 and Cu9 possessed the highest antibacterial activity. These active analogues were further assessed, whereby 3 possessed the highest antibacterial activity with an MIC of <24.4 µg/mL against K. rhizophila and S. aureus. Further antibacterial studies showed that at least compounds 4 and 5 were bactericidal. Thus, Cu1 and 3 were the most promising anticancer and antibacterial agents, respectively.

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 reaction of the Ru(PPh3 )3 Cl2 with HL1-3 -OH (-OH stands for the oxime hydroxyl group; HL1 -OH=diacetylmonoxime-S-benzyldithiocarbazonate; HL2 -OH=diacetylmonoxime-S-(4-methyl)benzyldithiocarbazonate; and HL3 -OH=diacetylmonoxime-S-(4-chloro)benzyl-dithiocarbazonate) gives three new ruthenium complexes [RuII (L1-3 -H)(PPh3 )2 Cl] (1-3) (-H stands for imine hydrogen) coordinated with dithiocarbazate imine as the final products. All ruthenium(II) complexes (1-3) have been characterized by elemental (CHNS) analyses, IR, UV-vis, NMR (1 H, 13 C, and 31 P) spectroscopy, HR-ESI-MS spectrometry and also, the structure of 1-2 was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The solution/aqueous stability, hydrophobicity, DNA interactions, and cell viability studies of 1-3 against HeLa, HT-29, and NIH-3T3 cell lines were performed. Cell viability results suggested 3 being the most cytotoxic of the series with IC50 6.9±0.2 μM against HeLa cells. Further, an apoptotic mechanism of cell death was confirmed by cell cycle analysis and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining techniques. In this regard, the live cell confocal microscopy results revealed that compounds primarily target the mitochondria against HeLa, and HT-29 cell lines. Moreover, these ruthenium complexes elevate the ROS level by inducing mitochondria targeting apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
Schiff bases are mentioned as strongly important molecular scaffolds of industrial and medicinal purposes. Due to wide range applications of carbazate derivatives herein synthesis and characterization of a new Schiff base ligand, (E)-ethyl 2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazinecarboxylate and 4-(nitrobenzaldehyde)ethylcarbazate are reported. The compound was characterized on the basis of experimental and density functional theory calculations (using the B3LYP and 6-31 G(d,p)formalism combination). Among characterization techniques elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis and NMR spectroscopic evaluations were mainly employed to carry out the formulation of the compound. In addition to computational validation of characterization other significant molecular parameters were also evaluated including geometry optimization, frontier molecular orbital analysis (FMO) and Columbic interaction of different constituent atoms of the title compound. A good agreement has been found between DFT and experimental outcomes confined to prove the structure of the compound. Moreover, molecular docking and antimicrobial studies have proven the Schiff base as an effective bioactive compound.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Non-platinum-metal complexes show great potential as anticancer agents. Herein, a series of dithiocarbazate non-Pt-metal complexes, including [FeIII(L)2]·Cl·2H2O 1, [CoIII(L)2]·NO3·2.5H2O 2, [NiII(L)2] 3, and [ZnII(L)2] 4, have been designed and evaluated for their efficacy as antineoplastic agents. Among them, complex 2 exhibited higher anticancer efficacy than complexes 1, 3, 4, and cisplatin against several cancer cell lines. Hemolysis assays revealed that complex 2 showed comparable hemolysis with cisplatin. In vivo anticancer evaluations showed that complex 2 could retard tumor xenograft growth effectively with low systemic toxicity. Further studies revealed that complex 2 suppressed cancer cells by triggering multiple mechanisms involving the simultaneous inhibition of mitochondria and glycolytic bioenergetics. Overall, our study provides new insights into the anticancer mechanism of Co complexes, which can be used as a good strategy to overcome the flexibility of cancer cells to chemotherapy adaptation.

Abstract
Organometallic compounds are increasingly recognized as promising anticancer and antibiotic drug candidates. Among the transition metal ions investigated for these purposes, rhenium occupies a special role. Its tri- and dicarbonyl complexes, in particular, attract continuous attention due to their relative ease of preparation, stability and unique photophysical and luminescent properties that allow the combination of diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, thereby permitting, e.g., molecules to be tracked within cells. In this review, we discuss the anticancer and antibiotic properties of rhenium tri- and dicarbonyl complexes described in the last seven years, mainly in terms of their structural variations and in vitro efficacy. Given the abundant literature available, the focus is initially directed on tricarbonyl complexes of rhenium. Dicarbonyl species of the metal ion, which are slowly gaining momentum, are discussed in the second part in terms of future perspective for the possible developments in the field.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to screen the anticancer activity and mechanisms of action of Cu(II)-acylhydrazone complex [Cu(HL)(H2 O)](NO3 )⋅H2 O, (CuHL), to find a potential novel agent for breast chemotherapies. Cytotoxicity studies on MCF7 cells demonstrated that CuHL has stronger anticancer properties than cisplatin over breast cancer cell models. Computational simulations showed that CuHL could interact in the minor groove of the DNA dodecamer, inducing a significant genotoxic effect on both cancer cells from 0.5 to 1 μM. In this sense, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations showed that the compound could interact with 20S proteasome subunits. Also, cell proteasome experiments using breast cancer cells revealed that the complex can inhibit proteasomal activity. Moreover, CuHL induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells at very low micromolar concentrations (0.5-2.5 μM) and displayed relevant anticancer activity over spheroids derived from MCF7 cells. Ultimately, CuHL diminished the number of mammospheres formed, disturbing their morphology and size.

Abstract
Background Methicillin-resistance S. aureus (MRSA) possesses the ability to resist multiple antibiotics and form biofilm. Currently, vancomycin remains the last drug of choice for treatment of MRSA infection. The emergence of vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) has necessitated the development of new therapeutic agents against MRSA. In this study, the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of two copper-complexes derived from Schiff base (SBDs) were tested individually, and in combination with oxacillin (OXA) and vancomycin (VAN) against reference strains methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The toxicity of the SBDs was also evaluated on a non-cancerous mammalian cell line. Methods The antimicrobial activity was tested against the planktonic S. aureus cells using the microdilution broth assay, while the antibiofilm activity were evaluated using the crystal violet and resazurin assays. The cytotoxicity of the SBDs was assessed on MRC5 (normal lung tissue), using the MTT assay. Results The individual SBDs showed significant reduction of biomass and metabolic activity in both S. aureus strains. Combinations of the SBDs with OXA and VAN were mainly additive against the planktonic cells and cells in the biofilm. Both the compounds showed moderate toxicity against the MRC5 cell line. The selectivity index suggested that the compounds were more cytotoxic to S. aureus than the normal cells. Conclusion Both the SBD compounds demonstrated promising antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities and have the potential to be further developed as an antimicrobial agent against infections caused by MRSA.

Abstract
We report here the synthesis, crystal structure, characterization and anticancer activity of a copper(ii)-hydrazone complex, [Cu(MeBHoVa)(H2O)2](NO3) (for short, CuHL), against human breast cancer cells on monolayer (2D) and spheroids/mammospheres (3D). The solid-state molecular structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The conformational space was searched and geometries were optimized both in the gas phase and including solvent effects by computational methods based on DFT. The compound has been characterized in the solid state and in solution by spectroscopic (FTIR, Raman, UV-vis) methods. The results were compared with those obtained for the hydrazone ligand and complemented with DFT calculations. Cell viability assays on MCF7 (IC50(CuHL) = 1.7 ± 0.1 μM, IC50(CDDP) = 42.0 ± 3.2 μM) and MDA-MB-231 (IC50(CuHL) = 1.6 ± 0.1 μM, IC50(CDDP) = 131.0 ± 18 μM) demonstrated that the complex displays higher antitumor activity than cisplatin (CDDP) on 2D and 3D human breast cancer cell models. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations showed that CuHL could interacts with DNA, inducing a significant genotoxic effect on both breast cancer cells from 0.5 to 1 μM. On the other hand, CuHL increases the ROS production and induces cell programmed death on breast cancer cells at very low micromolar concentrations (0.5-1.0 μM). Moreover, the compound decreased the amount of breast CSCs on MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells reducing the percentage of CD44+/CD24-/low cells from 0.5 to 1.5 μM. In addition, CuHL overcame CDDP with an IC50 value 65-fold lower against breast multicellular spheroids ((IC50(CuHL) = 2.2 ± 0.3 μM, IC50(CDDP) = 125 ± 4.5 μM)). Finally, CuHL reduced mammosphere formation capacity, hence affecting the size and number of mammospheres and showing that the complex exhibits antitumor properties on monolayer (2D) and spheroids (3D) derived from human breast cancer cells.

Abstract
In our continued efforts to develop metal based therapeutic agents, we have synthesized a novel copper(II) complex, [{Cu(hpdbal-sbdt)}2] (2) tethered with a biocompatible ONS2- donor backbone [H2hpdbal-sbdt] (1) [H2hpdbal-sbdt is a tridentate ligand derived from S-benzyldithiocarbazate (Hsbdt) and 2-hydroxy-5-(phenyldiazenyl)benzaldehyde (Hhpdbal)]. The metal complex (2) was characterized using attenuated total reflection-infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetric (TG-DSC) analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and elemental (CHNS) analysis. The antineoplastic ability of copper complex was evaluated in vitro against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells. MTT assay results showed that the copper complex exhibited significant growth inhibition of HeLa cells with an IC50 value of 4.46 μM and this value was compared with reported standards. Cytotoxicity of the copper complex towards human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293) was also evaluated. The potentially active copper complex was studied for its solution state stability at a pH range of 3-9. Following this, the interactive behaviour of the bioactive copper complex with a drug transporter protein (BSA) was deciphered through multi-spectrosopic investigations like steady-state fluorescence, three-dimensional fluorescence, deconvoluted-IR and UV-Visible techniques.

Abstract
Copper complexes have the potential to be developed as targeted therapy for cancer because cancer cells take up larger amounts of copper than normal cells. Copper complex Cu(SBCM)2 has been reported to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis towards triple-negative breast cancer cells. Nevertheless, its effect towards other breast cancer subtypes has not been explored. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of Cu(SBCM)2 towards oestrogen-receptor positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Growth inhibition of Cu(SBCM)2 towards MCF-7 and human non-cancerous MCF-10A breast cells was determined by MTT assay. Morphological changes of Cu(SBCM)2-treated-MCF-7 cells were observed under an inverted microscope. Annexin V/PI apoptosis assay and cell cycle analysis were evaluated by flow cytometry. The expression of wild-type p53 protein was evaluated by Western blot analysis. The intracellular ROS levels of MCF-7 treated with Cu(SBCM)2 were detected using DCFH-DA under a fluorescence microscope. The cells were then co-treated with Cu(SBCM)2 and antioxidants to evaluate the involvement of ROS in the cytotoxicity of Cu(SBCM)2. Docking studies of Cu(SBCM)2 with DNA, DNA topoisomerase I, and human ribonucleotide reductase were also performed. The growth of MCF-7 cells was inhibited by Cu(SBCM)2 in a dose-dependent manner with less toxicity towards MCF-10A cells. It was found that Cu(SBCM)2 induced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, possibly via a p53 pathway. Induction of intracellular ROS was not detected in MCF-7 cells. Interestingly, antioxidants enhance the cytotoxicity of Cu(SBCM)2 towards MCF-7 cells. DNA topoisomerase I may be the most likely target that accounts for the cytotoxicity of Cu(SBCM)2. Cu(SBCM)2 binds to DNA topoisomerase I, which, in turn, induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, possibly via p53 signalling pathway.![]()

Abstract
Copper complexes have been widely studied for the anti-tumour application as cancer cells are reported to take up greater amounts of copper than normal cells. Preliminary study revealed that the newly synthesised copper complex [Cu(SBCM)2] displayed marked anti-proliferative towards triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Therefore, Cu(SBCM)2 has great potential to be developed as an agent for the management of breast cancer. The present study was carried out to investigate the mode of cell death induced by Cu(SBCM)2 towards MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. The inhibitory and morphological changes of MDA-MB-231 cells treated with Cu(SBCM)2 was determined by using MTT assay and inverted light microscope, respectively. The safety profile of Cu(SBCM)2 was also evaluated towards human dermal fibroblast (HDF) normal cells. Confirmation of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest were determined by flow cytometry analysis. The expression of p53, Bax, Bcl-2 and MMP2 protein were detected with western blot analysis. Cu(SBCM)2 significantly inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner with GI50 18.7 ± 3.06 µM. Indeed, Cu(SBCM)2 was less toxic towards HDF normal cells with GI50 31.8 ± 4.0 µM. Morphological study revealed that Cu(SBCM)2-treated MDA-MB-231 cells experienced cellular shrinkage, membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation and formation of apoptotic bodies, suggesting that Cu(SBCM)2 induced apoptosis in the cells, which was confirmed by Annexin-V/PI flow cytometry analysis. It was also found that Cu(SBCM)2 induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest towards MDA-MB-231 cells. The induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in the present study is possibly due to the down-regulation of the mutant p53 and MMP2 protein. In conclusion, Cu(SBCM)2 can be developed as a targeted therapy for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.
