Abstract
Three distinctive end group-containing organotin (IV) carboxylates complexes (YDCOOSn, CLCOOSn and BZCOOSn) were designed and synthesized. Together with theoretical calculations, a thorough examination was carried out to investigate the photophysical properties of these compounds. The cytotoxicity of the synthesized compounds was tested using normal cell line GES-1 and was assessed against four cancer cell lines (A549, Hela, H1299 and HepG2). The outcomes of the experiments demonstrated that these complexes had superior selectivity than cisplatin towards cancerous cells, particularly in the A549 cell line. BZCOOSn was selected as a candidate compound for additional research because it exhibited the lowest IC50 value and the most impressive inducing effect on cell death and G2/M phase arrest. Increased caspase-3 and -9 enzyme activity, a decline in mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), characteristic nuclear apoptotic morphology, and an accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were seen in A549 exposed to BZCOOSn. These findings demonstrated that BZCOOSn exhibited strong cytotoxicity by triggering cell death in A549 via the mitochondrial route. Furthermore, using the scratch wound healing assay, it was discovered that BZCOOSn reduced the migration of A549 cancerous cells. These data all pointed to BZCOOSn as a possible candidate for more research and development as a chemotherapeutic drug.

J Inorg Biochem 2024; 256:112571. [PMID: 38669912 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 04/18/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
In this paper, a series of cyclometalated bismuth(III) complexes bearing C,O-bidentate ligands were synthesized and characterized by techniques such as UV-vis, NMR, HRMS, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Meanwhile, their cytotoxicities against various human cell lines, including colon cancer cells (HCT-116), breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), lung cancer cells (A549), gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901), and normal embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293) were assessed in vitro. Compared with the clinical cisplatin, most of the synthesized complexes possessed significantly higher degrees of anticancer activity and selectivity, giving a selectivity index of up to 71.3. The structure-activity relationship study revealed that the anticancer performance of these bismuth(III) species depends on the factors of coordination environment surrounding the metal center, such as coordination number, coordination bonding strength, lone 6s2 electron pair stereoactivity. The Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay results suggested that the coordination environment-dependent cytotoxicity is ascribable to apoptosis. Western blot analysis confirmed the proposal, as evidenced by the down-regulating level of Bcl-2 and the activation of caspase-3. Furthermore, the representative complexes Bi1, Bi4, Bi6, and Bi8 exhibited relatively lower inhibitory efficiency on human ovarian cancer cells (A2780) than on its cisplatin-resistant daughter cells (A2780/cis), thus demonstrating that such compounds are capable of circumventing the cisplatin-induced resistance. This investigation elucidated the excellent anticancer performance of C,O-coordinated bismuth(III) complexes and established the correlation between cytotoxic activity and coordination chemistry, which provides a practical basis for in-depth designing and developing bismuth-based chemotherapeutics.

A Second Wind for Inorganic APIs: Leishmanicidal and Antileukemic Activity of Hydrated Bismuth Oxide Nanoparticles. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:874.

Abstract
American cutaneous leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania. Currently, meglumine antimoniate is the first-choice treatment for the disease. The limited efficacy and high toxicity of the drug results in the necessity to search for new active principles. Nanotechnology is gaining importance in the field, since it can provide better efficacy and lower toxicity of the drugs. The present study aimed to synthesize, characterize, and evaluate the in vitro leishmanicidal and antileukemic activity of bismuth nanoparticles (BiNPs). Promastigotes and amastigotes of L. (V.) guyanensis and L. (L.) amazonensis were exposed to BiNPs. The efficacy of the nanoparticles was determined by measurement of the parasite viability and the percentage of infected cells, while the cytotoxicity was characterized by the colorimetry. BiNPs did not induce cytotoxicity in murine peritoneal macrophages and showed better efficacy in inhibiting promastigotes (IC50 < 0.46 nM) and amastigotes of L. (L.) amazonensis. This is the first report on the leishmanicidal activity of Bi-based materials against L. (V.) guayanensis. BiNPs demonstrated significant cytotoxic activity against K562 and HL60 cells at all evaluated concentrations. While the nanoparticles also showed some cytotoxicity towards non-cancerous Vero cells, the effect was much lower compared to that on cancer cells. Treatment with BiNPs also had a significant effect on inhibiting and reducing colony formation in HL60 cells. These results indicate that bismuth nanoparticles have the potential for an inhibitory effect on the clonal expansion of cancer cells.

Immunomodulatory and Anticancer Effects of Fridericia chica Extract-Loaded Nanocapsules in Myeloid Leukemia. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:828. [PMID: 38931948 PMCID: PMC11207419 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Nanocapsules provide selective delivery and increase the bioavailability of bioactive compounds. In this study, we examined the anticancer and immunomodulatory potential of Fridericia chica (crajiru) extract encapsulated in nanocapsules targeting myeloid leukemias. Nanocapsules containing crajiru (nanocapsules-CRJ) were prepared via interfacial polymer deposition and solvent displacement. Size and polydispersity were measured by dynamic light scattering. Biological assays were performed on leukemia cell lines HL60 and K562 and on non-cancerous Vero cells and human PBMC. The anticancer activity was evaluated using cytotoxicity and clonogenic assays, while the immunomodulatory activity was evaluated by measuring the levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in PBMC supernatants treated with concentrations of nanocapsules-CRJ. Nanocapsules-CRJ exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against HL60 and K562 cells at concentrations ranging from 0.75 to 50 μg/mL, with the greatest reductions in cell viability observed at 50 μg/mL (p < 0.001 for HL60; p < 0.01 for K562), while not affecting non-cancerous Vero cells and human PBMCs. At concentrations of 25 μg/mL and 50 μg/mL, nanocapsules-CRJ reduced the formation of HL60 and K562 colonies by more than 90% (p < 0.0001). Additionally, at a concentration of 12 μg/mL, nanocapsules-CRJ induced the production of the cytokines IL-6 (p = 0.0002), IL-10 (p = 0.0005), IL-12 (p = 0.001), and TNF-α (p = 0.005), indicating their immunomodulatory potential. These findings suggest that nanocapsules-CRJ hold promise as a potential therapeutic agent with both cytotoxic and immunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
Contemporary pharmacology dating back to the late 19th/early 20th centuries has benefitted largely from the incorporation of metal complexes. Various biological attributes have been successfully realized using metal/metal complex-based drugs. Among anticancer, antimicrobial, and antiviral applications, anticancer applications have extracted the maximum benefit from the metal complex, Cisplatin. The following review has compiled the various antiviral benefits harnessed through inputs from metal complexes. As a result of exploiting the pharmacological aspects of metal complexes, the anti-COVID-19 deliverables have been summarized. The challenges ahead, the gaps in this research area, the need to improvise incorporating nanoaspects in metal complexes, and the need to test metal complex-based drugs in clinical trials have been discussed and deliberated. The pandemic shook the entire world and claimed quite a percentage of the global population. Metal complex-based drugs are already established for their antiviral property with respect to enveloped viruses and extrapolating them for COVID-19 can be an effective way to manipulate drug resistance and mutant issues that the current anti-COVID-19 drugs are facing.

Abstract
Controlling bioaerosols has become increasingly critical in affecting human health. Natural product treatment in the nano form is a potential method since it has lower toxicity than inorganic nanomaterials like silver nanoparticles. This research is important for the creation of a bioaerosol control system that is effective. Nanoparticles (NPs) are gradually being employed to use bacteria as a nonantibiotic substitute for treating bacterial infections. The present study looks at nanoparticles' antimicrobial properties, their method of action, their impact on drug-opposing bacteria, and the hazards connected with their operation as antimicrobial agents. The aspects that influence nanoparticle conduct in clinical settings, as well as their distinctive features and mode of action as antibacterial assistants, are thoroughly examined. Nanoparticles' action on bacterial cells is presently accepted by way of the introduction of oxidative stress induction, metal-ion release, and nonoxidative methods. Because many concurrent mechanisms of action against germs would necessitate multiple simultaneous gene modifications in the same bacterial cell for antibacterial protection to evolve, bacterial cells developing resistance to NPs is difficult. This review discusses the antimicrobial function of NPs against microbes and presents a comprehensive discussion of the bioaerosols: their origin, hazards, and their prevention. This state of the art method is dependent upon the use of personal protective gear against these bioaerosols. The benefit of the utmost significant categories of metal nanoparticles as antibacterial agents is given important consideration. The novelty of this review depends upon the antimicrobial properties of (a) silver (Ag), (b) zinc oxide (ZnO), and (c) copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles. The value-added features of these nanoparticles are discussed, as well as their physicochemical characterization and pharmacokinetics, including the toxicological danger they pose to people. Lastly, the effective role of nanomaterials and their future in human wellness is discussed.

Molecular Modes of Action of an Aqueous Nerium oleander Extract in Cancer Cells In Vitro and In Vivo. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28041871.

Abstract
Cancer drug resistance remains a major obstacle in clinical oncology. As most anticancer drugs are of natural origin, we investigated the anticancer potential of a standardized cold-water leaf extract from Nerium oleander L., termed Breastin. The phytochemical characterization by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and low- and high-resolution mass spectrometry revealed several monoglycosidic cardenolides as major constituents (adynerin, neritaloside, odoroside A, odoroside H, oleandrin, and vanderoside). Breastin inhibited the growth of 14 cell lines from hematopoietic tumors and 5 of 6 carcinomas. Remarkably, the cellular responsiveness of odoroside H and neritaloside was not correlated with all other classical drug resistance mechanisms, i.e., ATP-binding cassette transporters (ABCB1, ABCB5, ABCC1, ABCG2), oncogenes (EGFR, RAS), tumor suppressors (TP53, WT1), and others (GSTP1, HSP90, proliferation rate), in 59 tumor cell lines of the National Cancer Institute (NCI, USA), indicating that Breastin may indeed bypass drug resistance. COMPARE analyses with 153 anticancer agents in 74 tumor cell lines of the Oncotest panel revealed frequent correlations of Breastin with mitosis-inhibiting drugs. Using tubulin-GFP-transfected U2OS cells and confocal microscopy, it was found that the microtubule-disturbing effect of Breastin was comparable to that of the tubulin-depolymerizing drug paclitaxel. This result was verified by a tubulin polymerization assay in vitro and molecular docking in silico. Proteome profiling of 3171 proteins in the NCI panel revealed protein subsets whose expression significantly correlated with cellular responsiveness to odoroside H and neritaloside, indicating that protein expression profiles can be identified to predict the sensitivity or resistance of tumor cells to Breastin constituents. Breastin moderately inhibited breast cancer xenograft tumors in vivo. Remarkably, in contrast to what was observed with paclitaxel monotherapy, the combination of paclitaxel and Breastin prevented tumor relapse, indicating Breastin's potential for drug combination regimens.

Abstract
Understanding the causes of tumorigenesis and progression in triple-receptor negative breast cancer (TNBC) can help the design of novel and personalized therapies and prognostic assessments. Abnormal RNA modification is a recently discovered process in TNBC development. TNBC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas database were categorized according to the expression level of NAT10, which drives acetylation of cytidine in RNA to N(4)-acetylcytidine (ac4C) and affects mRNA stability. A total of 703 differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) were found between high- and low-expressed NAT10 groups in TNBC. Twenty of these lncRNAs were significantly associated with prognosis. Two breast cancer tissues and their paired normal tissues were sequenced at the whole genome level using acetylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (acRIP-seq) technology to identify acetylation features in TNBC, and 180 genes were significantly differentially ac4c acetylated in patients. We also analyzed the genome-wide lncRNA expression profile and constructed a co-expression network, containing 116 ac4C genes and 1080 lncRNAs. Three of these lncRNAs were prognostic risk lncRNAs affected by NAT10 and contained in the network. The corresponding reciprocal pairs were "LINC01614-COL3A1", "OIP5-AS1-USP8", and "RP5-908M14.9-TRIR". These results indicate that RNA ac4c acetylation involves lncRNAs and affects the tumor process and prognosis of TNBC. This will aid the prediction of drug targets and drug sensitivity.

Abstract
Three di-organotin(IV) complexes have been synthesized by the reaction of Schiff base di-acylhydrazone ligands bis(5-chlorosalicylaldehyde) adipoylhydrazone and R2SnCl2 [R = Me (1), Ph (2), n-Bu (3)]. Structures of all complexes were characterized by 1H, 13C, 119Sn NMR, elemental analysis, IR and mass spectrometry. Experimental results showed that the symmetric diacylhydrazone ligands coordinate the tin atom in a hexadentate form, where the tin atom shows a penta-coordination, in a distorted triangular bipyramid geometry. Using MTT method, in vitro cytotoxicity of three complexes was determined against three cancer cell lines (A549, HeLa, HepG-2). Studies reveal that complex 3 showed the strongest cytotoxic activity among the three complexes, which may be correlated with the generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Uptake of complex 3 into cells and promotion of reactive oxygen species were visualized by confocal fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a new octahedral Zr(IV) complex of oxygen-depleted N,O-type calixarene ligand comprising two distal-functionalized pyrazole rings have been reported. The cone shape and structure of the prepared complex were confirmed univocally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR studies. The Zr metal lies at 2.091 Å from the plane of the calixarene ring. This complex has been utilized as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of Biginelli adducts, bis(indolyl)methanes, and coumarins. This complex (Cl2Zr-calixarene) showed superior activity for these multicomponent reactions in comparison to the corresponding Ti(IV) and Zn(II) analogues. Ferrocene-appended bis(indolyl)methane, prepared using this catalyst, was also evaluated for its anticancer activity against the A-172 cell line.

Abstract
Some novel imine metal chelates with Cr3+, Mn2+, Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Cd2+ cations were produced from 2-acetylferrocene and 3-aminophenol. The new acetylferrocene azomethine ligand ((Z)-cyclopenta-1,3-dien-1-yl(2-(1-((3-hydroxyphenyl)imino)ethyl)cyclopenta-2,4-dien-1-yl)iron) and its metal ion chelates were constructed and elucidated using FT-IR, UV/Vis, 1HNMR, DTA/TGA, CHNClM studies, mass spectrometry and SEM analysis. According to the TGA/DTG investigation, the ferrocene moiety spontaneously disintegrates to liberate FeO. The morphology of the free acetylferrocene azomethine via SEM analysis was net-shaped with a size of 64.73 nm, which differed in Cd(II) complex to be a spongy shape with a size of 42.43 nm. The quantum chemical features of the azomethine ligand (HL) were computed, and its electronic and molecular structure was refined theoretically. The investigated acetylferrocene imine ligand behaves as bidinetate ligand towards the cations under study to form octahedral geometries in case of all complexes except in case of Zn2+ is tetrahedral. Various microorganisms were used to investigate the anti-pathogenic effects of the free acetylferrocene azomethine ligand and its metal chelates. Moreover, the prepared ligand and its metal complexes were tested for anticancer activity utilizing four different concentrations against the human breast cancer cell line (MCF7) and the normal melanocyte cell line (HBF4). Furthermore, the binding of 3-aminophenol, 2-acetylferrocene, HL, Mn2+, Cu2+, and Cd2+ metal chelates to the receptor of breast cancer mutant oxidoreductase was discovered using molecular docking (PDB ID: 3HB5).

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the anticancer effect and the underlying mechanisms of organoantimony (III) fluoride on MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. METHODS Five cancer and one normal cell line were treated with an organoantimony (III) compound 6-cyclohexyl-12-fluoro-5,6,7,12-tetrahydrodibenzo[c,f][1,5]azastibocine (denoted as C4). The cell viability was detected by MTT assay. Induction of cell death was determined by Hoechst 33342/PI staining and Annexin-V/PI staining. The effect of C4 on the necroptotic relative protein was determined by Western blot analysis. RESULTS Among the five cancer cell lines, C4 decreased the viability of MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and A2780/cisR, and showed less toxicity to normal human embryonic kidney cells. In breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, the C4 treatment induced the percentage of necrotic cell death as well as LDH releasing in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Moreover, C4 could increase the expression of phosphorylated RIPK3 and MLKL proteins. Overall, the C4 treatment resulted in reduction of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and accumulation ROS in MDA-MB-231 cells. CONCLUSION C4-induced necroptosis could be ascribed to glutathione depletion and ROS elevation in MDA-MB-231 cells. Our findings illustrate that C4 is a potential necroptosis inducer for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
MI-773 is a recently developed small-molecule inhibitor of the mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) proto-oncogene. Preclinical data on the anti-tumour activity of MI-773 are limited and indicate that tumour cell lines (CLs) with mutated TP53 are more resistant to MI-773 than wild type TP53. Here, we explored the compound's therapeutic potential in vitro using a panel of 274 annotated CLs derived from a diversity of tumours. MI-773 exhibited a pronounced selectivity and moderate potency, with anti-tumour activity in the sub-micromolar range in about 15% of the CLs. The most sensitive tumour types were melanoma, sarcoma, renal and gastric cancers, leukaemia, and lymphoma. A COMPARE analysis showed that the profile of MI-773 was similar to that of Nutlin-3a, the first potent inhibitor of p53-MDM2 interactions, and, in addition, had a superior potency. In contrast, it poorly correlates with profiles of compounds targeting the p53 pathway with another mechanism of action. OMICS analyses confirmed that MI-773 was primarily active in CLs with wild type TP53. In silico biomarker investigations revealed that the TP53 mutation status plus the aggregated expression levels of 11 genes involved in the p53 signalling pathway predicted sensitivity or resistance of CLs to inhibitors of p53-MDM2 interactions reliably. The results obtained for MI-773 could help to refine the selection of cancer patients for therapy.

Abstract
A strategy to improve the cancer therapies involves agents that cause the depletion of the endogenous antioxidant glutathione (GSH), increasing its efflux out of cells and inducing apoptosis in tumoral cells due to the presence of reactive oxygen species. It has been shown that Casiopeina copper complexes caused a dramatic intracellular GSH drop, forming disulfide bonds and reducing CuII to CuI. Herein, through the determination of the [CuII]-SH bond before reduction, we present evidence of the adduct between cysteine and one Casiopeina as an intermediate in the cystine formation and as a model to understand the anticancer activity of copper complexes. Evidence of such an intermediate has never been presented before.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With essential metals being studied and developed as anticancer agents, this study aims to explore the anticancer activity of Zn(II) arginine dithiocarbamate in the T47D and fibroblast cell lines. METHOD The Zn(II) arginine dithiocarbamate complex was prepared by the in situ method and characterized using infra-red spectroscopy, melting point, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction instruments. The complex compound was tested for its cytotoxicity to the T47D breast cancer and fibroblast cell lines. RESULTS The cytotoxicity of the Zn(II) arginine dithiocarbamate complex to the T47D breast cancer cell line obtained IC50 = 3.16 μg/mL, while cisplatin obtained IC50 = 28.18 μg/mL. The cytotoxicity of the Zn(II) arginine dithiocarbamate complex to fibroblast cells obtained IC50 = 8709.63 μg/mL. CONCLUSION The Zn(II) arginine dithiocarbamate complex has increased active cytotoxicity compared to cisplatin in inducing morphological changes in the T47D breast cancer cell line and is relatively non-toxic to fibroblast cells.

Abstract
Two new bismuth(III) complexes, [BiL1Cl2] (1) and [BiL2Cl2] (2), in which L1 is (2-hydroxy-4-6-di-tert-butylbenzyl-2-pyridylmethyl)amine and L2 is 2,4-diiodo-6-((pyridine-2-ylmethylamino)methyl)phenol, were synthesized and characterized by elemental and conductivity analyses, atomic absorption spectrometry, infrared and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The molecular structure of 1 reveals that the NN'O ligand forms a 1:1 complex with bismuth through coordination via the nitrogen of the aliphatic amine, the nitrogen of the pyridine ring and the oxygen of the phenolate. The coordination sphere is completed with two chloride anions in a distorted square pyramidal geometry. Bismuth exhibits the same coordination mode in compound 2. The cytotoxic activity of 1 and 2 was investigated in a chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line. The complexes are approximately three times more potent than the corresponding free ligands, with the IC50 values 0.30 and 0.38 μM for complex 1 and 2, respectively. To address the cellular mechanisms underlying cell demise, apoptosis was quantified by flow cytometry analysis. From 0.1 μM, both complexes induce apoptosis and there is a remarkable concentration-dependent increase in the population of cells in apoptosis. The complexes were also evaluated against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Both inhibited the bacterial growth in a concentration-dependent way, with remarkable activity in some of the tested strains, for example, complex 2 was more active than its free ligand against all bacterial strains and approximately fourteen times more potent against S. dysenteriae and S. typhimurium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The quest for strong, safe and cost-effective natural antiproliferative agents that could reduce cancer has been the focus now a days. In this regard, the organosulfur compounds from garlic (Allium sativum L.), like Diallyl Sulfide (DAS) and Diallyl Disulfide (DADS), have been shown to exhibit potent antiproliferative and anticancer properties in many studies. However, the potential of these compounds against viral oncoproteins in cervical cancer has not been fully elucidated yet. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to analyze the antiproliferative and apoptotic properties of DADS and DAS in HPV16+ human cervical cancer Caski cell line. METHODS Caski (cervical cancer cells) were cultured and followed by the treatment of various concentrations of organosulphur compounds (DADS and DAS), cell viability was measured by MTT assay. The apoptotic assay was performed by DAPI and Hoechst3342 staining. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was estimated by DCFDA staining protocol. The distributions of cell cycle and apoptosis (FITC-Annexin V assay) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Finally, gene expression analysis was performed via quantitative real time PCR. RESULTS Our results showed that DAS and DADS exerted a significant antiproliferative effect on Caski cells by reducing the cell viability and inducing a dose-related increment in intracellular ROS production along with apoptosis in Caski cells. DAS and DADS also induced cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase, which was supported by the downregulation of cyclin D1 and CDK4 and upregulation of CDK inhibitors p21WAF1/CIP1 and p27KIP1 in Caski cells. Additionally, DAS and DADS lead to the downregulation of viral oncogene E6 and E7 and restoration of p53 function. CONCLUSION Thus, this study confirms the efficacy of both the organosulfur compounds DADS and DAS against cervical cancer cells.

Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary malignant tumor of the adult central nervous system. It has high morbidity and poor survival. Myelin protein zero-like protein 1 (MPZL1) is a cell surface glycoprotein that activates numerous adhesion-dependent signaling pathways. MPZL1 plays important roles in human cancers that include metastatic process; however, it is not clear if MPZL1 plays a role in human glioma. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if silencing MPZL1 impacted the cell proliferative features of human glioma cells. First, MPZL1 expression was investigated in human glioma samples and tumor cell lines. Then the effects of small interfering RNA (siRNA)-targeting MPZL1 were analyzed on proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle progression, and invasion of human glioma cells. The results from this study demonstrated that MPZL1 was highly expressed in human glioma tissues and glioma cell lines. In addition, knockdown of MPZL1 significantly inhibited cell proliferation, colony formation, and invasiveness of glioma cells, and effectively induced cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase. Western blotting analysis indicated that silencing MPZL1 expression downregulated the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), WNT1, caspase-3, cyclin A1, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and upregulated p53. The results from this study suggest that MPZL1 might be a marker for tumors and could be a potential therapeutic target for human glioma.

Abstract
A novel Schiff base compound derived from the condensation of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with (1S,2S)-(-)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine in 2:1 M ratio was reported and investigated by elemental analyses, Fourier transform infrared and NMR spectroscopic studies, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Hirshfeld surface analyses were also carried out to measure the various intermolecular contacts controlling the supramolecular topology, suggesting the H···O (7.6%) contacts to be the most significant interactions, whereas the H···H (48.9%) and C···H (40.2%) interactions are less-significant. The data obtained from the energy calculations revealed the structure observed experimentally to be the most stable isomer and its energy being lower by 18.0441 kcal/mol than the less stable one. Density functional theory calculations were also carried out to analyze the natural charges, reactivity descriptors, and different intramolecular charge transfer interactions. The in vitro anticancer activity of the compound was evaluated by MTT assays against human colorectal cancer cells, HT-29 and SW620. The results showed that the compound has potential anticancer activity against these cells lines.

Abstract
Zn(II) is an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2's RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine are Zn(II) ionophores-this statement gives a curious mind a lot to think about. We show results of the first clinical trials on chloroquine (CQ) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the treatment of COVID-19, as well as earlier reports on the anticoronaviral properties of these two compounds and of Zn(II) itself. Other FDA-approved Zn(II) ionophores are given a decent amount of attention and are thought of as possible COVID-19 therapeutics.

Abstract
We report a protocol for the evaluation of theoretical half-wave potential (E1/2) using a set of 22 mixed chelate copper (II) complexes containing 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives as primary ligands, and acetylacetonate or glycinate as secondary ligands (formally from the Casiopeínas® family) for which accurate experimental values were determined in a 2/5 mixture of ethanol/water. We have calibrated the BP86, PBE, PBE0, B3LYP, M06-2X, and ω-B97XD functionals, using the Los Alamos LANL2DZ and Stuttgart-Köln SDDAll effective core potentials for the Cu and Fe atoms and the 6-311+G* basis set for the C, H, O, and N atoms. To address the solvent effects, we have saturated the first solvation shell with up to 9 water molecules for the explicit model and compared it with the Continuum Like-Polarizable Continuum Model (CPCM) implicit solvent scheme. We found that the PBE/LANL2DZ-6-311+G* protocol (with the CPCM implicit solvent scheme with an effective dielectric constant ε = 64.9121 for the 2/5 mixture of ethanol/water) yields the overall best performance. The theoretical values are compared with experimental data, three of which are reported here for the first time. We find good correlations between the theoretical and experimental E1/2 values for the 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives (R2 = 0.987, MAE = 86 mV) and 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives (R2 = 0.802, MAE = 58.4 mV). The correlation trends have been explained in terms of the copper atom's ability to be reduced in the presence of the ligands. The Gibbs free energy differences at 298 K obtained for the redox reactions show that the more flexible secondary ligands (acetylacetonate) lead to larger entropic contributions which, as expected, increase the average MAE values as compared with the more rigid ligands (glycine). The present protocol yields lower MAEs as compared with previous approaches for similar mixed and flexible Cu(II) complexes.

Abstract
The interpretation of in vitro cytotoxicity data of Cu(II)-1,10-phenanthroline (phen) complexes normally does not take into account the speciation that complexes undergo in cell incubation media and its implications in cellular uptake and mechanisms of action. We synthesize and test the activity of several distinct Cu(II)-phen compounds; up to 24 h of incubation, the cytotoxic activity differs for the Cu complexes and the corresponding free ligands, but for longer incubation times (e.g., 72 h), all compounds display similar activity. Combining the use of several spectroscopic, spectrometric, and electrochemical techniques, the speciation of Cu-phen compounds in cell incubation media is evaluated, indicating that the originally added complex almost totally decomposed and that Cu(II) and phen are mainly bound to bovine serum albumin. Several methods are used to disclose relationships between structure, activity, speciation in incubation media, cellular uptake, distribution of Cu in cells, and cytotoxicity. Contrary to what is reported in most studies, we conclude that interaction with cell components and cell death involves the separate action of Cu ions and phen molecules, not [Cu(phen)n] species. This conclusion should similarly apply to many other Cu-ligand systems reported to date.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates are the most commonly prescribed drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone illnesses. Some of them have also shown antiparasitic activity. In search of improving the pharmacological profile of commercial bisphosphonates, our group had previously developed first row transition metal complexes with N-containing bisphosphonates (NBPs). In this work, we extended our studies to heteroleptic palladium-NBP complexes including DNA intercalating polypyridyl co-ligands (NN) with the aim of obtaining potential multi-target species. Complexes of the formula [Pd(NBP)2(NN)]·2NaCl·xH2O with NBP = alendronate (ale) or pamidronate (pam) and NN = 1,10 phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) were synthesized and fully characterized. All the obtained compounds were much more active in vitro against T. cruzi (amastigote form) than the corresponding NBP ligands. In addition, complexes were nontoxic to mammalian cells up to 50-100 µM. Compounds with phen as ligand were 15 times more active than their bpy analogous. Related to the potential mechanism of action, all complexes were potent inhibitors of two parasitic enzymes of the isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway. No correlation between the anti-T. cruzi activity and the enzymatic inhibition results was observed. On the contrary, the high antiparasitic activity of phen-containing complexes could be related to their ability to interact with DNA in an intercalative-like mode. These rationally designed compounds are good candidates for further studies and good leaders for future drug developments. Four new palladium heteroleptic complexes with N-containing commercial bisphosphonates and DNA intercalating polypyridyl co-ligands were synthesized and fully characterized. All complexes displayed high anti-T. cruzi activity which could be related to the inhibition of the parasitic farnesyl diphosphate synthase enzyme but mainly to their ability to interact DNA.

Abstract
Background::
The discovery of cisplatin and the subsequent research revealed the importance
of dinitrogen-containing moiety for the anticancer action of metal complexes. Moreover, certain
diamine ligands alone display cytotoxicity that contributes to the overall activity of corresponding
complexes.
Objective::
To summarize the current knowledge on the anticancer efficacy, selectivity, and the mechanisms
of action of metal complexes with various types of diamine ligands.
Method::
The contribution of aliphatic acyclic, aliphatic cyclic, and aromatic diamine ligands to the
anticancer activity and selectivity/toxicity of metal complexes with different metal ions were analyzed
by comparison with organic ligand alone and/or conventional platinum-based chemotherapeutics.
Results::
The aliphatic acyclic diamine ligands are present mostly in complexes with platinum. Aliphatic
cyclic diamines are part of Pt(II), Ru(II) and Au(III) complexes, while aromatic diamine ligands
are found in Pt(II), Ru(II), Pd(II) and Ir(III) complexes. The type and oxidation state of metal ions
greatly influences the cytotoxicity of metal complexes with aliphatic acyclic diamine ligands. Lipophilicity
of organic ligands, dependent on alkyl-side chain length and structure, determines their cellular
uptake, with edda and eddp/eddip ligands being most useful in this regard. Aliphatic cyclic diamine
ligands improved the activity/toxicity ratio of oxaliplatin-type complexes. The complexes with aromatic
diamine ligands remain unexplored regarding their anticancer mechanism. The investigated complexes
mainly caused apoptotic or necrotic cell death.
Conclusion::
Metal complexes with diamine ligands are promising candidates for efficient and more
selective alternatives to conventional platinum-based chemotherapeutics. Further research is required to
reveal the chemico-physical properties and molecular mechanisms underlying their biological activity.

Abstract
A set of metal-organic trefoil knots (M-TKs) generated by metal-templated self-assembly of a simple pair of chelating ligands were well tolerated in vitro by non-cancer cells but were significantly more potent than cisplatin in both human cancer cells--including those resistant to cisplatin--and in zebrafish embryos. In cultured cells, M-TKs generated reactive oxygen species that triggered apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway without directly disrupting the cell-membrane or damaging nuclear DNA. The cytotoxicity and wide scope for structural variation of M-TKs indicate the potential of synthetic metal-organic knots as a new field of chemical space for pharmaceutical design and development.

Exploring the cytotoxic activity of new phenanthroline salicylaldimine Zn(II) complexes. J Inorg Biochem 2019; 198:110727. [PMID: 31195153 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2019.110727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Revised: 05/27/2019] [Accepted: 05/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Zinc(II) complexes bearing N-salicylideneglycinate (Sal-Gly) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or phenanthroline derivatives [NN = 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-amine-1,10-phenanthroline (amphen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen) and 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenanthroline] are synthesized. Complexes formulated as [Zn(NN)2(H2O)2]2+(NN = phen and amphen), are also prepared. The cytotoxicity of the compounds is evaluated towards a panel of human cancer cells: ovarian (A2780), breast (MCF7) and cervical (HeLa), as well as non-tumoral V79 fibroblasts. All compounds display higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin (IC50 = 22.5 ± 5.0 μM) towards ovarian cells, showing IC50values in the low micromolar range. Overall, all compounds show higher selectivity for the A2780 cells than for the non-tumoral cells and higher selectivity indexes (IC50(V79)/IC50(A2780) than cisplatin. [Zn(Sal-Gly)(NN)(H2O)] complexes induce caspase-dependent apoptosis in A2780 cells, except [Zn(Sal-Gly)(Bphen)(H2O)], one of the most cytotoxic of the series. The cellular uptake in the ovarian cells analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma mass spectrometry indicates different Zn distribution profiles. Transmission electronic microscopy shows mitochondria alterations and apoptotic features consistent with caspase activation; cells incubated with [Zn(Sal-Gly)(amphen)(H2O)] present additional nuclear membrane alterations in agreement with significant association with the nucleus. The increase of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation forms could be related to apoptosis induction. [Zn(NN)2(H2O)2]2+complexes have high ability to bind DNA through intercalation/groove binding, and circular dichroism data suggests that the main type of species that interact with DNA is [Zn(NN)]2+. Studies varying the % of fetal bovine serum (1-15%) in cell media show that albumin binding decreases the complex activity, indicating that distinct speciation of Zn- and phen-containing species in cell media may affect the cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Copper homeostasis is generally investigated focusing on a single component of the metallostasis network. Here we address several of the factors controlling the metallostasis for neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) upon treatment with 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (phendione) and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (cuproindione). These compounds bind and transport copper inside cells, exert their cytotoxic activity through the induction of oxidative stress, causing apoptosis and alteration of the cellular redox and copper homeostasis network. The intracellular pathway ensured by copper transporters (Ctr1, ATP7A), chaperones (CCS, ATOX, COX 17, Sco1, Sco2), small molecules (GSH) and transcription factors (p53) is scrutinised.

Abstract
A novel binuclear Cd complex (1) with hydrazone-based ligand was prepared and characterized by spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Complex 1 reveals a strong pro-apoptotic activity in both human, mammary adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7) and pancreatic AsPC-1 cancer stem cells (CSCs). While apoptosis undergoes mostly caspase-independent, 1 stimulates the activation of intrinsic pathway with noteworthy down regulation of caspase-8 activity in respect to non-treated controls. Distribution of cells over mitotic division indicates that 1 caused DNA damage in both cell lines, which is confirmed in DNA interaction studies. Compared to 1, cisplatin (CDDP) does not achieve cell death in 2D cultured AsPC-1 cells, while induces different pattern of cell cycle changes and caspase activation in 2D cultured MCF-7 cells, implying that these two compounds do not share similar mechanism of action. Additionally, 1 acts as a powerful inducer of mitochondrial superoxide production with dissipated trans-membrane potential in the majority of the treated cells already after 6 h of incubation. On 3D tumors, 1 displays a superior activity against CSC model, and at 100 μM induces disintegration of spheroids within 2 days of incubation. Fluorescence spectroscopy, along with molecular docking show that compound 1 binds to the minor groove of DNA. Compound 1 binds to the human serum albumin (HSA) showing that the HSA can effectively transport and store 1 in the human body. Thus, our current study strongly supports further investigations on antitumor activity of 1 as a drug candidate for the treatment of highly resistant pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
With the emergence of antibiotic resistance, the interest for antimicrobial agents has recently increased again in public health. Copper was recognized in 2008 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the first metallic antimicrobial agent. This led to many investigations of the various properties of copper as an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral agent. This review summarizes the latest findings about 'contact killing', the mechanism of action of copper nanoparticles and the different ways micro-organisms develop resistance to copper.

Abstract
Seven rhenium(I) complexes of the general formula fac-[Re(CO)3(NN)(OH2)]+ where NN = 2,2'-bipyridine (8), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (9), 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine (10), dimethyl 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylate (11), 1,10-phenanthroline (12), 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (13), or 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (14), were synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. With the exception of 11, all complexes exhibited 50% growth inhibitory concentration (IC50) values that were less than 20 μM in HeLa cells, indicating that these compounds represent a new potential class of anticancer agents. Complexes 9, 10, and 13 were as effective in cisplatin-resistant cells as wild-type cells, signifying that they circumvent cisplatin resistance. The mechanism of action of the most potent complex, 13, was explored further by leveraging its intrinsic luminescence properties to determine its intracellular localization. These studies indicated that 13 induces cytoplasmic vacuolization that is lysosomal in nature. Additional in vitro assays indicated that 13 induces cell death without causing an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species or depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Further studies revealed that the mode of cell death does not fall into one of the canonical categories such as apoptosis, necrosis, paraptosis, and autophagy, suggesting that a novel mode of action may be operative for this class of rhenium compounds. The in vivo biodistribution and metabolism of complex 13 and its 99mTc analogue 13* were also evaluated in naı̈ve mice. Complexes 13 and 13* exhibited comparable biodistribution profiles with both hepatic and renal excretion. High-performance liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS) analysis of mouse blood plasma and urine postadministration showed considerable metabolic stability of 13, rendering this potent complex suitable for in vivo applications. These studies have shown the biological properties of this class of compounds and demonstrated their potential as promising theranostic anticancer agents that can circumvent cisplatin resistance.

Abstract
The aim of this work is the identification of the structural effect of amino acid-Pd complex on DNA as an intracellular target which was studied using various spectroscopic techniques such as fluorescence, UV-visible and circular dichroism in combination with a molecular docking study. Hence, a novel water-soluble palladium complex, [Pd(phendione)(isopentylglycine)]NO3, has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic method. The anticancer activity of complex was investigated against human colon cancer cell line of HCT116 after 24 h of incubation using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. In addition, this complex was interacted with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) via positive cooperative interaction. The fluorescence data indicate that Pd complex is intercalated in DNA. These results were confirmed by circular dichroism spectra. The molecular docking results indicate that docking may be an appropriate method for the prediction and confirmation of experimental results. Complementary molecular docking results may be useful for the determination of the binding mechanism of DNA in pharmaceutical and biophysical studies providing new insight into the novel pharmacology and new solutions in the formulation of advanced oral drug delivery systems. Docking and spectroscopic studies show that new water-soluble Pd complex has anticancer activity and it can bind to DNA via intercalation and groove binding.

Abstract
The metal complexes designated by Casiopeínas® are mixed-ligand CuII-compounds some of them having promising antineoplastic properties. We report studies of binding of Cu(glycinato)(4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) (Cas-II-Gly (1)), Cu(acetylacetonato)(4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) (Cas-III-Ea (2)), Cu(glycinato)(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) (Cas-IV-Gly (3)) and Cu(acetylacetonato)(4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) (Cas-III-ia (4)) to human serum albumin (HSA) by circular dichroism (CD), Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results indicate that HSA may bind up to three molecules of the tested Casiopeínas. This is confirmed by inductively coupled plasma - atomic absorption spectroscopy measurements of samples of HSA-Casiopeínas after passing by adequate size-exclusion columns. The binding of Cas-II-Gly to HSA was also confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric experiments. In the physiological range of concentrations the Casiopeínas form 1:1 adducts with HSA, with conditional binding constants of ca. 1×109 (1), 4×107 (2), 1×106 (3) and 2×105 (4), values determined from the CD spectra measured, and the fluorescence emission spectra indicates that the binding takes place close to the Trp214 residue. Overall, the data confirm that these Casiopeínas may bind to HSA and may be transported in blood serum by this protein; this might allow some selective tumor targeting, particularly in the case of Cas-II-Gly. In this work we also discuss aspects associated to the reliability of the frequently used methodologies to determine binding constants based on the measurement of fluorescence emission spectra of solutions containing low concentrations of proteins such as HSA and BSA, by titrations with solutions of metal complexes.
