Abstract
A series of novel Ga(III)-pyridine carboxylates ([Ga(Pic)3]·H2O (GaPic; HPic = picolinic acid), H3O[Ga(Dpic)2]·H2O (GaDpic; H2Dpic = dipicolinic acid), [Ga(Chel)(H2O)(OH)]2·4H2O (GaChel; H2Chel = chelidamic acid) and [Ga(Cldpic)(H2O)(OH)]2 (GaCldpic; H2Cldpic = 4-chlorodipicolinic acid)) have been synthesized by simple one-step procedure. Vibrational spectroscopy (mid-IR), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction confirmed complexes molecular structure, inter and intramolecular interactions and their influence to spectral and thermal properties. Moreover, complex species speciation was described in Ga(III)-HPic and Ga(III)-H2Dpic systems by potentiometry and 1H NMR spectroscopy and mononuclear complex species were determined; [Ga(Pic)2]+ (logβ021 = 16.23(6)), [Ga(Pic)3] (logβ031 = 20.86(2)), [Ga(Dpic)2]- (logβ021 = 15.42(9)) and [Ga(Dpic)2(OH)]2- (logβ-121 = 11.08(4)). To confirm the complexes stability in 1% DMSO (primary solvent for biological testing), timescale 1H NMR spectra were measured (immediately after dissolution up to 96 h). Antimicrobial activity evaluated by IC50 (0.05 mM) is significant for GaDpic and GaCldpic against difficult to treat and multi-resistant P. aeruginosa. On the other hand, the GaPic complex is most effective against Jurkat, MDA-MB-231 and A2058 cancer cell lines and significantly also decreases the HepG2 cancer cells viability at 75 and 100 μM concentrations in a relatively short time (up to 48 h). In addition, fluorescence measurements have been used to elucidate bovine serum albumin binding activity between ligands, Ga(III) complexes and bovine serum albumin.

Abstract
Since the accidental discovery of the anticancer properties of cisplatin more than half a century ago, significant efforts by the broad scientific community have been and are currently being invested into the search for metal complexes with antitumor activity. Coordination compounds of transition metals such as platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru) and gold (Au) have proven their effectiveness as diagnostic and/or antiproliferative agents. In recent years, experimental work on the potential applications of elements including lanthanum (La) and the post-transition metal gallium (Ga) in the field of oncology has been gaining traction. The authors of the present review article aim to help the reader "catch up" with some of the latest developments in the vast subject of coordination compounds in oncology. Herewith is offered a review of the published scientific literature on anticancer coordination compounds of Pt, Ru, Au, Ga and La that has been released over the past three years with the hope readers find the following article informative and helpful.

Insights of metal 8-hydroxylquinolinol complexes as the potential anticancer drugs. J Inorg Biochem 2023; 238:112051.

Abstract
8-Hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives, which belong to a well-known class of quinoline based drugs with varied biological activities, have been extensively explored for the treatments of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, neurodegenerative diseases and other life-threatening diseases. In virtue of the existence of bicyclic heterocyclic scaffold, their bidentate chelators can further bind to metal ions via O- and N-donors from 8-hydroxylquinolinol skeletons to yield a variety of metal 8-hydroxylquinolinol complexes appealing as the anticancer drugs with low toxicity, due to their better biological effects and higher anticancer activities than free 8-hydroxylquinolinol ligands and cis-diammine-dichloro-platinum. The present review summarizes the recent developments in the syntheses, crystal structures, and anticancer activities of metal 8-hydroxylquinolinol complexes, attempting to discover a correlation between their structures and anticancer activities, and to provide an evidence for their potential application perspectives. It means to offer the helpful and meaningful guidance for the researchers in the future syntheses of new and highly efficient anticancer metal 8-hydroxylquinolinol complexes based drugs.

Abstract
Six new copper(II) complexes were prepared: [Cu(ClBrQ)2] (1a, 1b), [Cu(ClBrQ)2]·1/2 diox (2) (diox = 1,4-dioxane), [Cu(BrQ)2] (3), [Cu(dNQ)2] (4), [Cu(dNQ)2(DMF)2] (5) and [Cu(ClNQ)2] (6), where HClBrQ is 5-chloro-7-bromo-8-hydroxyquinoline, HBrQ is 7-bromo-8-hydroxyquinoline, HClNQ is 5-chloro-7-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline and HdNQ is 5,7-dinitro-8-hydroxyquinoline. Prepared compounds were characterised by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and by X-ray structural analysis. Structural analysis revealed that all complexes are molecular. Square planar coordination of copper atoms in [Cu(XQ)2] (XQ = ClBrQ (1a, 1b), BrQ (3) and ClNQ (6)) and tetragonal bipyramidal coordination in [Cu(dNQ)2(DMF)2] (5) complexes were observed. In these four complexes, bidentate chelate coordination of XQ ligands via oxygen and nitrogen atoms was found. Hydrogen bonds stabilizing the structure were observed in [Cu(dNQ)2(DMF)2] (5) and [Cu(ClNQ)2] (6), no other nonbonding interactions were noticed in all five structures. The stability of the complexes in DMSO and DMSO/water was evaluated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Cytotoxic activity of the complexes and ligands was tested against MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HCT116, CaCo2, HeLa, A549 and Jurkat cancer cell lines. The selectivity of the complexes was verified on a noncancerous Cos-7 cell line. Antiproliferative activity of the prepared complexes was very low in comparison with cisplatin, except complex 3; however, its activity was not selective and was similar to the activity of its ligand HBrQ. Antibacterial potential was observed only with ligand HClNQ. Radical scavenging experiments revealed relatively high antioxidant activity of complex 3 against ABTS radical.

Gallium(III) Complex with Cloxyquin Ligands Induces Ferroptosis in Cancer Cells and Is a Potent Agent against Both Differentiated and Tumorigenic Cancer Stem Rhabdomyosarcoma Cells. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2022; 2022:3095749. [PMID: 35502218 PMCID: PMC9056256 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3095749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
In this work, gallium(III) complex with cloxyquin (5-chloro-8-quinolinol, HClQ) ligands is shown to effectively inhibit proliferation of rhabdomyosarcoma cells, the frequent, aggressive, and poorly treatable cancer of children. It offers striking selectivity to cancer cells compared to noncancerous human fibroblasts. The data reveal that the complex induces ferroptosis in rhabdomyosarcoma cells, likely due to interfering with iron metabolism. Importantly, it can kill both bulk and stem rhabdomyosarcoma cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first compound based on metal other than Fe capable of inducing ferroptosis in cancer cells.
