Abstract
Heteroleptic metal complexes containing CuII, CoII, and ZnII, incorporating curcumin and a Schiff base ligand (L), were synthesized and characterized, and their antifungal activity was evaluated. Their antifungal activities were investigated individually and in combination with fluconazole. Utilizing various analytical techniques such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, NMR, ESI-MS, TGA-DTG, elemental analyses, conductance, and magnetic susceptibility measurements, complex C1 ([Cu(Cur)LCl(H2O)]) was assigned a distorted octahedral geometry, while complexes C2 ([Co(Cur)LCl(H2O)]) and C3 ([Zn(Cur)LCl(H2O)]) were assigned octahedral geometries. Among these complexes, C2 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against both FLC-susceptible and resistant strains of Candida albicans. Furthermore, C2 demonstrated candidicidal activity and synergistic interactions with fluconazole, effectively inhibiting the growth and survival of both FLC-resistant and FLC-sensitive C. albicans strains. The complex displayed a dose-dependent inhibition of drug efflux pumps in FLC-resistant C. albicans strains, indicating its potential to disrupt the cell membrane of these strains. The significant role of membrane efflux transporters in the development of antifungal drug resistance within Candida species has been extensively documented and our findings indicate that complex C2 specifically targets this crucial factor, thereby playing a pivotal role in mitigating drug resistance in C. albicans.

Abstract
Two acylhydrazone based zinc(II) complexes [Zn(HL)2Cl2(CH3OH)2] (Zn1) and [ZnL(AC)]2 (Zn2) were synthesized from 3-(1-(salicyloylhydrazono)ethyl) pyridine (HL). Single crystal X-ray structure analyses showed that complexes Zn1 and Zn2 have a zero-dimensional monomer or dimer structure. Antiproliferative activity studies revealed that Zn1 and Zn2 are both more effective against A549 cells than cisplatin. The results of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation assay on A549 cells showed that both Zn1 and Zn2 induced apoptosis through ROS accumulation. The apoptosis-inducing and cell cycle arrest effects of Zn1 and Zn2 on A549 cells indicated that the antitumor effect was achieved through apoptosis induction and inhibition of DNA synthesis by blocking the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. What's more, the results of wound-healing assay showed that Zn1 and Zn2 could inhibit the migration of A549 cells. Western blot analysis further demonstrated that Zn1 and Zn2 induced cell apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway, in which process, the expression level of cytochrome C, cleaved-PARP, cleaved-caspase 3 and cleaved-caspase 9 proteins increased while pro-caspase 3 and pro-caspase 9 expression decreased. In vivo anticancer evaluation demonstrated that both Zn1 and Zn2 complexes effectively inhibited tumor growth without causing significant toxicity in systemic organs.

Abstract
Three new ONNO-donor tetradentate unsymmetrical salen ligands were synthesized by using o-phenyl diamine with substituted salicylaldehydes followed by a two-step reaction methodology. These three ligands by reaction with Cu(OAc)2.4H2O produced three new monomeric Cu(II) complexes, [CuII(L1-3)] (1-3). Elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, NMR, and HR-ESI-MS techniques were used to analyze and characterize all the synthesized ligands and their corresponding metal complexes. Molecular structures of 1-3 were confirmed by the single-crystal-XRD analysis. Furthermore, the DNA binding ability of these complexes was checked through UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and also by circular dichroism studies. All the complexes were found to show an intercalation mode of binding with the Kb value in the range of 104-105 M-1. Finally, 1-3 was tested against two malignant (HeLa and A549) and non-cancerous (NIH-3T3) cell lines to check their in vitro antiproliferative activities. Among all, 1 is the most cytotoxic of the series having IC50 values of 5.7 ± 0.9 and 6.0 ± 0.3 μM against HeLa and A549 cell lines, respectively. This result is also consistent with the DNA binding order. Furthermore, the apoptotic mode of cell death of all the complexes was also evaluated by DAPI, AO/EB, and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assays.

Abstract
A series of chelated metal complexes, [Co(LI)2] (1), [Ni(LI)2] (2), [Cu(LI)2] (3) [Co(LII)2] (4), [Ni(LII)2] (5) and [Cu(LII)2] (6) were designed and synthesized from newly synthesized Schiff bases, LI = 2-((E)-(5-(4-fluorophenyl)isoxazol-3-ylimino)methyl)-5-methylphenol and LII = 2-((E)-(5-(4-fluorophenyl)isoxazol-3-ylimino)methyl)-4-chlorophenol. The synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), electronic spectroscopy (UV-Vis), infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), magnetic susceptibility (µeff), electron spin resonance spectroscopy (ESR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and powder X-ray diffraction analysis (P-XRD). The spectral investigations have been clearly suggested 1:2 (metal: ligand) stoichiometric complexes with square planar geometrical arrangement around the metal ion. The thermal gravimmetric analysis (TGA) of these complexes indicates greater thermal stability and various steps involved in thermal decomposition of metal complexes. The binding ability between these metal complexes and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated by UV-Vis, fluorescence spectroscopy and viscometric experiments, which disclosed that, the complexes interacted to CT-DNA via an intercalation binding mode. The cleavage property of metal complexes against pBR322 DNA has been explored by gel electrophoresis technique mediated by UV-illumination and H2O2, showed momentous cleavage activity. Antioxidant activity of all complexes was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging experiment and showed prominent antioxidant activity. Further, the antibacterial and antifungal activities of all compounds were screened against bacterial and fungal strains via in-vitro disc diffusion method. These studies revealed that the complexes showed comparatively more antimicrobial activity than free ligands against tested microbial strains.

Abstract
Non-platinum metal-based complexes have good potential for cancer treatment. Here, we designed and synthesized five hydrazone copper(II) complexes, [Cu2(HL)2Cl2] 1A, [Cu2(HL)2(NO3)H2O]·NO3 2A, [Cu2(HL)2Br2] 3A, [Cu(L)pyridine] 1B and [Cu(HL)(pyridine)Br] 3B, and evaluated their anti-lung cancer activities. MTT experiments revealed that these copper(II) complexes exhibit higher anticancer activity than cisplatin. Mechanism studies revealed that complex 3A induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest, and induced cell apoptosis via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction. Scratch wound healing assay was also performed, revealing that complex 3A have good anti-cell migration activity. Hemolysis assays showed good blood biocompatibility of complex 3A. Furthermore, complex 3A can significantly inhibit the proliferation of A549 3D tumor spheroid. An in vivo anticancer study showed that complex 3A could delays the growth of A549 tumor xenografts with lower systemic toxicity. These results highlight the great possibility of developing highly active copper complexes as anti-lung cancer agents.

Abstract
Sulphur containing compounds possess a great deal of interest due to wide range of beneficial activities towards biotic species. This work also deals with the study of biological examination of newly synthesized sulphur containing Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes derived from (E)-4-(phenylimino)-3-((E)-1-(phenylimino)ethyl)pent-2-ene-1-thiol Schiff bases. Moreover, the DNA nuclease efficiency of the synthesized metal complexes is studied by UV absorption studies, Fluorescence studies, Viscosity and CV titrations which confirm the intercalative mode of binding. Pharmacokinetic studies and drug like activity of these compounds are screened with the help of SWISS ADME online freeware. Their morphological nature is corroborated by various spectral techniques. Optimized geometry and biologically accessible nature of the synthesized compounds are investigated by Gaussian 09 W software. Interestingly, molecular docking studies are carried out against cancer DNA and 6J10 cancer cell. Anti-inflammatory and in vitro antioxidant activities have been studied to validate the theoretical prediction. Based on these preliminary pharmacological activities, the in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo antitumor activities are examined using MCF-7, HeLa, Hep-2, HepG-2 and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cell lines. All the above examinations reveal that the nitro substituted transition metal complexes possess higher biological bustle.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Over the last few decades, an alarming rise in the percentage of individuals with cancer and those with multi-resistant illnesses has forced researchers to explore possibilities for novel therapeutic approaches. Numerous medications currently exist to treat various disorders, and the development of small molecules as anticancer agents has considerable potential. However, the widespread prevalence of resistance to multiple drugs in cancer indicates that it is necessary to discover novel and promising compounds with ideal characteristics that could overcome the multidrug resistance issue. The utilisation of metallo-drugs has served as a productive anticancer chemotherapeutic method, and this approach may be implemented for combating multi-resistant tumours more successfully. Schiff bases have been receiving a lot of attention as a group of compounds due to their adaptable metal chelating abilities, innate biologic properties, and versatility to tweak the structure to optimise it for a specific biological purpose. The biological relevance of Schiff base and related complexes, notably their anticancer effects, has increased in their popularity as bio-inorganic chemistry has progressed. As a result of learning about Schiff bases antitumor efficacy against multiple cancer cell lines and their complexes, researchers are motivated to develop novel, side-effect-free anticancer treatments. According to study reports from the past ten years, we are still seeking a powerful anticancer contender. This study highlights the potential of Schiff bases, a broad class of chemical molecules, as potent anticancer agents. In combination with other anticancer strategies, they enhance the efficacy of treatment by elevating the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy, surmounting drug resistance, and promoting targeted therapy. Schiff bases also cause cancer cell DNA repair, improve immunotherapy, prevent angiogenesis, cause apoptosis, and lessen the side effects of chemotherapy. The present review explores the development of potential Schiff base and their d and f block metal complexes as anticancer agents against various cancer cell lines.

Abstract
In the current study, one new quercetin-based Zn(II) complex [Zn(Qr)(CNNCN)(H2O)2] (Complex 1) which is developed by condensation of quercetin with ZnCl2 in the presence of NaN(CN)2 and Cu(II) complex [Cu(Qr)N3(CH3OH)(H2O)] (complex 2) which is developed by the condensation reaction of quercetin and CuCl2 in presence of NaN3, are thoroughly examined in relation to their use in biomedicine. The results of several spectroscopic studied confirm the structure of both the complexes and the Density Functional Theory (DFT) study helps to optimize the structure of complex 1 and 2. After completion of the identification process, DNA and Human Serum Albumin (HSA) binding efficacy of both the investigated complexes are performed by implementing a long range of biophysical studies and a thorough analysis of the results unveils that complex 1 has better interaction efficacy with the macromolecules than complex 2. The binding efficacy of complex 1 is comparatively higher towards both macromolecules because of its pure groove binding mode during interaction with DNA and the presence of an extra H-bond during connection with HSA. The experimental host-guest binding results is fully validated by molecular docking study. Interestingly complex 1 shows better antioxidant properties than complex 2, as well as quercetin, and it has strong anticancer property with minimal damage to normal cells, which is proved by the MTT assay study. Better DNA and HSA binding efficacy of 1 may be the reason for the better anticancer property of complex 1.

Abstract
Due to the abundant and promising biological activities of aromatic hydrazones, it is of great significance to study the biological activities of their metal complexes for the research and development of metal-based drugs. In this review, we focus on the metal complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrazones, which still do not receive much attention, and summarize the studies related to their biological activities. Although the large number of metal complexes in phenylhydrazone prevent them all from being summarized, the significant value of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons themselves (such as naphthalene and anthracene) as pharmacophores are also considered. Therefore, the bioactivities of the metal complexes of naphthylhydrazone and anthrahydrazone are focused on, and the recent research progress on the metal complexes of anthrahydrazone by the authors is also included. In terms of biological activities, these complexes mainly show antibacterial and anticancer activities, along with less bioactivities. The present review demonstrates that the structural design and bioactivities of these complexes are fundamental, which also indicates a certain structure-activity relationship (SAR) in some substructural areas. However, a systematic and comprehensive conclusion of the SAR is still not available, which suggests that more attention should be paid to the bioactivities of the metal complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrazones since their potential in structural design and biological activity remains to be explored. We hope that this review will attract more researchers to devote their interest and energy into this promising area.

Abstract
A novel series of metal(II) complexes (1-5) [MII(L)2]{Where M = Cu (1), Co (2), Mn (3), Ni (4) and Zn (5)} constructed from 2-(4-morpholinobenzylideneamino)phenol Schiff base ligand (HL) in a 1:2 M ratio and the spectral and analytical results put forward square planar geometry. Spectro-electrochemical, hydrodynamic, gel electrophoresis, and DNA binding/cleavage results for all the compounds demonstrate that complex (1) had excellent DNA binding/cleavage properties compared to other compounds. The observation also suggests that test compounds could intercalate with DNA, and the biothermodynamic property more strongly supports the stabilizing of the double helix DNA with the complexes. BSA binding constant results show that complex (1) exposes the best binding property via a static mode, which is further confirmed by FRET calculations. The DFT calculations and docking results for all compounds towards DNA, BSA and SARS-CoV-19 main protease (3CLPro), reveal the binding energies were in the range of -7.8 to -9.4, -6.6 to -10.2 and - 6.1 - -8.2 kcal/mol for all test compounds respectively. In this case, complexes showed favorable binding energies compared to free ligand, which stimulates further studies aimed at validating the predicted activity as well as contributing to tackling the current and future viral pandemics. The in-vitro antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer results for all compounds revealed that copper complex (1) has better activity compared to others. This might result in an effective anticancer drug for future research, which is especially promising since the observed experimental results for all cases were in close agreement with the theoretical calculations.

Abstract
The use of iron-nickel alloy nanoparticles (Fe-Ni ANPs) is increasing daily in various fields. People are increasingly exposed to these nanoparticles for occupational and environmental reasons. Our study determined some of the effects of Fe-Ni ANP exposure and impacts on human health at the cellular level. The cytotoxic and genotoxic potentials of Fe-Ni ANPs were investigated by XTT, clonogenic, comet, and GammaH2AX analyses using Beas-2B cells. Annexin V, multicaspase, and cell cycle arrest methods were used to understand the apoptotic mechanism of action. The intracellular ROS method was used to determine the primary mechanism that leads to cytotoxic and genotoxic activity. The Fe-Ni ANPs showed cytotoxic activity with the XTT and clonogenic methods: they had genotoxic potential, as demonstrated via genotoxicity methods. It was determined that the cytotoxic effect was realized by the caspase-dependent apoptotic pathway, and the cells were stopped at the G0/G1 stage by Fe-Ni ANPs. Increased intracellular ROS due to Fe-Ni ANPs led to cytotoxic, genotoxic, and apoptotic activity. Potential risks to human health due to Fe-Ni ANPs were then demonstrated at the cellular level.

Abstract
Background. Beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptide is a widely recognized pathological marker of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Salidroside and Hedysari Radix polysaccharide (HRP) were extracted from Chinese herb medicine Rhodiola rosea L and Hedysarum polybotrys Hand-Mazz, respectively. The neuroprotective effects and mechanisms of the combination of salidroside and Hedysari Radix polysaccharide (CSH) against Aβ25–35 induced neurotoxicity remain unclear. Objective. This study aims to investigate the neuroprotective effects and pharmacological mechanisms of CSH on Aβ25–35-induced HT22 cells. Materials and Methods. HT22 cells were pretreated with various concentrations of salidroside or HRP for 24 h, followed by exposed to 20 μm Aβ25–35 in the presence of salidroside or RHP for another 24 h. In a CSH protective assay, HT22 cells were pretreated with 40 μm salidroside and 20 μg/mL HRP for 24 h. The cell viability assay, cell morphology observation, determination of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and cell apoptosis rate were performed. The mRNA expression of protein kinase C-beta (PKCβ), Bax, and Bcl-2 were measured by qRT-PCR. The protein expression levels of cleaved caspase-3, Cyt-C, PKCβ, phospho-ERK1/2, Bax, and Bcl-2 were measured by Western blot. Results. CSH treatment increased cell viability, MMP, and decreased ROS generation in Aβ25–35-induced HT22 cells. PKCβ and Bcl-2 mRNA expression were elevated by CSH while Bax was decreased. CSH increased the protein expression levels of PKCβ, Bcl-2, and phospho-ERK1/2, and decreased those of Bax, Cyt-C, and cleaved caspase-3. Conclusions. CSH treatment have protective effects against Aβ25–35-induced cytotoxicity through decreasing ROS levels, increasing MMP, inhibiting early apoptosis, and regulating PKC/ERK pathway in HT22 cells. CSH may be a potential therapeutic agent for treating or preventing neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
In this study, 13 transition metal complexes, namely, [Cu(L1H)(H2O)2]·(H2O)·NO3 (1), [Cu(LnH2)2]·(NO3)·(H2O)2 (2, n = 2; 3, n = 3; 4, n = 4; 5, n = 5), [Co(LnH)2]2·(H2O)0.5 (6, n = 2; 7, n = 3; 8, n = 4; 9, n = 5), [Cu(L6H)0.5(L10H)0.5(phen)]·(CH3OH)0.25 (10), [Cu(L11H) (phen)]4·(H2O)9 (11), [Cu(L8H)0.27(L12H)0.73(phen)]4·(H2O)5.5(CH3OH) (12), and [Cu(L9H) (phen)]3·(H2O)7·(CH3OH) (13), were synthesized using Schiff base ligands and characterized by elemental analysis (EA), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD). Compared with complexes 1-9, complexes 10-13 displayed stronger cytotoxic activities against the tested A549/DDP cancer cells (IC50 = 0.97-3.31 μM), with differences greater than one order of magnitude. Moreover, complexes 11 and 13 could induce apoptosis and autophagy in A549/DDP cells via the mitochondrial dysfunction pathway that affects the regulation of autophagy- and mitochondrial-related proteins. Importantly, the results indicate that the two novel salicylaldehyde Schiff base analogs, 11 and 13, exhibited pronounced and selective activity against A549/DDP xenografts in vivo.

Abstract
In this paper, the previously synthesized Cu(II) complex ([CuL1(N3)
(CH3OH)]BF4) with N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-2-(2-(1-(thiazol-2-yl)ethylidene)-
hydrazinyl)ethan-1-aminium chloride, has been characterized and its
biological activity has been studied in detail. The Cu(II) complex consists
of ligand coordinated in a deprotonated, formally neutral zwitter-ionic
form, via NNO atoms, one azido ligand and one methanol molecule. The Cu(II)
complex was selected due to results of the cytotoxic activity, the brine
shrimp test and DPPH radical scavenging activity, which were previously
performed. The effects of Cu(II) complex on cell cycle phase distribution of
cervical adenocarcinoma HeLa cells were investigated in order to examine
the mechanisms of its anticancer activity. The measurement of intracellular
ROS levels in HeLa and HaCaT cell lines were evaluated in order to explore
their possible generation and the role in cytotoxic activity. The possible
anti-invasive and anti-angiogenic properties of Cu(II) complex were
evaluated. DNA binding experiments, including fluorescence displacement
study and DNA cleavage experiments, were performed in order to obtain
information on the type of DNA-metal complex interactions.

Abstract
Abstract
Schiff bases are in the field of medicinal and material chemistry for a long time. There are several advancements from time to time towards facile synthesis and potential applications. As medicines they have been applied as organic molecules as well as their metal complexes. The activities of metal complexes have been found to increase due to increase lipophilicity in comparison to the corresponding free ligand. Besides simple coordination compounds they have been applied as ionic liquid (IL)- supported and IL-tagged species with far enhanced efficiency. Among metal complexes recent advancement deals with photodynamic therapy to treat a number of tumors with fewer side effects. Schiff bases are efficient ligands and their complexes with almost all metal ions are reported. This mini-review article deals with complexes of Schiff bases with biologically compatible metal ions, Co(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Ag(I), Pt(II) and their potential uses to combat cancerous cells. Strong hopes are associated with photodynamic therapy and IL-tagged and IL-supported Schiff bases and their complexes.

Abstract
Copper homeostasis is strictly regulated by protein transporters and chaperones, to allow its correct distribution and avoid uncontrolled redox reactions. Several studies address copper as involved in cancer development and spreading (epithelial to mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis). However, being endogenous and displaying a tremendous potential to generate free radicals, copper is a perfect candidate, once opportunely complexed, to be used as a drug in cancer therapy with low adverse effects. Copper ions can be modulated by the organic counterpart, after complexed to their metalcore, either in redox potential or geometry and consequently reactivity. During the last four decades, many copper complexes were studied regarding their reactivity toward cancer cells, and many of them could be a drug choice for phase II and III in cancer therapy. Also, there is promising evidence of using 64Cu in nanoparticles as radiopharmaceuticals for both positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and treatment of hypoxic tumors. However, few compounds have gone beyond testing in animal models, and none of them got the status of a drug for cancer chemotherapy. The main challenge is their solubility in physiological buffers and their different and non-predictable mechanism of action. Moreover, it is difficult to rationalize a structure-based activity for drug design and delivery. In this review, we describe the role of copper in cancer, the effects of copper-complexes on tumor cell death mechanisms, and point to the new copper complexes applicable as drugs, suggesting that they may represent at least one component of a multi-action combination in cancer therapy.

Abstract
In this study, we proposed to design effective multi-target anticancer agents based on the chelation of nontoxic metals with ligands that possess anticancer activity. In total, five Sn(ii) pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes are synthesized and their activities are tested. Among these complexes, C5 is found to show the highest cytotoxicity on investigating their structure-activity relationships. In addition, C5 not only exhibits an effective inhibitory effect against tumor growth in vivo, but also suppresses angiogenesis and restricts the metastasis of cancer cells in vitro. Multiple mechanisms underlie the antitumor effect of C5, and they include acting against DNA, inducing apoptosis, and inhibiting the activities of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL protein, metalloproteinase MMP2 and topoisomerase II.

Abstract
Our previously reported copper-based complexes of tropolone show nice antitumor effects, but with high cytotoxicity to normal cells, which is presumably caused by copper ions. Here, we managed to achieve this challenge by using other 3D metals to replace copper ions. We thus prepared four mononuclear 3D metal complexes [M(phen)L2] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, and Zn for 1-4, respectively). Complexes 1 and 4 show selectivity on different cancer cell lines with much lower cytotoxicity to normal cells than cisplatin. The anticancer effects for complexes 2 and 3 on the tested cancer cell lines are very poor. It revealed a tuning effect of different metal ions on the anticancer activities with those for Mn(II) and Zn(II) being much higher than those for Co(II) and Ni(II) in this system. Among them, complex 1 presents a best anticancer effect on HeLa cells comparable to cisplatin. It overcame the afore-mentioned shortage of high cytotoxicity to normal cells for the reported Cu(II) complexes. It revealed from the mechanistic studies that complex 1 mainly induces apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species, releasing Ca2+, and activating Caspase 9 and proapoptotic gene Bax.

Abstract
In this review we compare and discuss results of compounds already reported as anticancer agents based on isatin-derivatives, metalated as well as non-metallated. Isatin compounds can be obtained from plants, marine animals, and is also found in human fluids as a metabolite of amino acids. Its derivatives include imines, hydrazones, thiosemicarbazones, among others, already focused on numerous anticancer studies. Some of them have entered in pre-clinical and clinical tests as antiangiogenic compounds or inhibitors of crucial proteins. As free ligands or coordinated to metal ions, such isatin derivatives showed promising antiproliferative properties against different cancer cells, targeting different biomolecules or organelles. Binding to metal ions usually improves its biological properties, indicating a modulation by the metal and by the ligand in a synergistic process. They also reveal diverse mechanisms of action, being able of binding DNA, generating reactive species that cause oxidative damage, and inhibiting selected proteins. Strategies used to improve the efficiency and selectivity of these compounds comprise structural modification of the ligands, metalation with different ions, syntheses of mononuclear and dinuclear species, and use of inserted or anchored compounds in selected drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Copper is an essential trace element with vital roles in many metalloenzymes; it is also prominent among nonplatinum anticancer metallodrugs. Copper-based complexes are endogenously biocompatible, tenfold more potent than cisplatin, exhibit fewer adverse effects, and have a wide therapeutic window. In cancer biology, copper acts as an antitumor agent by inhibiting cancer via multiple pathways. Herein, we present an overview of advances in copper complexes as 'lead' antitumor drug candidates, and in understanding their biochemical and pharmacological pathways over the past 5 years. This review will help to develop more efficacious therapeutics to improve clinical outcomes for cancer treatments.

Abstract
Ten coumarin-3-formamido derivatives, N-benzyl-coumarin-3-carboxamide (2), N-fluorobenzyl-coumarin-3-carboxamide (3-5), N-methoxybenzyl-coumarin-3-carboxamide (6-8), N-((1-methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)methyl)-coumarin-3-carboxamide (9), N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)-coumarin-3-carboxamide (10), and N-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-coumarin-3-carboxamide (11), were synthesized and characterized. Compound 5 crystallizes in a monoclinic system P21 /c space group with four chemical formulas in a unit cell; molecules of compound 5 are self-assembled into a two-dimensional supramolecular structure by intermolecular hydrogen bonds and C⋯C π stacking. The potential anticancer effects of these compounds on HeLa (cervical carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast), A549 (lung), HepG2 (liver), and human umbilical vein (HUVEC) cells were examined. Compared with compounds 1-8 and 10-11, compound 9 exhibits potent in vitro cytotoxicity against HeLa cells and lower cytotoxicity against normal cells. Therefore, further in-depth investigations of compound 9 were performed. Absorption titration experiments and fluorescence spectroscopy studies suggested that compound 9 binds to DNA through the intercalation mode.

Abstract
Three aroylhydrazone ligands ((Z)-N'-([2,2'-bithiophen]-5-ylmethylene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide, HL1; (Z)-N'-([2,2'-bithiophen]-5-ylmethylene)-3-hydroxybenzohydrazide, HL2; and (Z)-N'-([2,2'-bithiophen]-5-ylmethylene)-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide, HL3) and their complexes with nickel (Ni(L1)2, 1; Ni(L2)2, 2; Ni(L3)2∙DMF, 3) were synthesized and characterized by ESI-MS, NMR, IR, UV-vis and elemental analysis techniques. The molecular structure of ligand (HL2) and complexes 1-3 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The single crystal X-ray structure of complexes 1-3 showed a distorted square planar geometry around the metal center, and the ligands adopt a bidentate chelating mode. The interaction of calf thymus (ctDNA) with nickel(II) complexes was explored using absorption, emission spectrum, viscosity, and circular dichroism methods. These complexes exhibited moderate affinity for ctDNA through groove binding modes. The most efficient DNA binder was complex 2. The interaction of the complexes with DNA has also been supported by molecular docking study and molecular dynamics simulation. An in vitro cytotoxicity study of the complexes found low activity against human cervical (Hela) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines, with the best results for complex 2, where IC50 values are 86 μM and 92 μM respectively.

Abstract
A series of new three heteroleptic complexes of the general formula [Ln(Cn)(TMEDA)Cl(OH2)]·2Cl·xH2O, (where Ln = La(III), Er(III) and Yb(III), Cn = cocaine and TMEDA = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) were synthesized, structurally characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic methods, molar conductivity and mass spectrometry. Thermal properties of the synthesized complexes and their kinetic thermodynamic parameters were studied. Theoretical calculations including geometry optimization, electronic structure and electronic and thermal energies were carried out using DFT and TD-DFT calculations at B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory and the different quantum chemical parameters were calculated. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of the newly synthesized complexes was assessed by MTT assay on MCF-7 and HepG-2 cancer cell lines. Yb(III) complex showed promising cytotoxic activity comparable to that of cisplatin on both cell lines with minimum effect on human normal cells. Further molecular mechanistic investigations showed that Yb(III) complex is an apoptotic inducer as it raises the caspase-3 and caspase-9 cellular level in the MCF-7 cell line. Furthermore, it showed an elevating effect on the level of the tumor suppressor nuclear proteins P21 and P27 concentrations in MCF-7 cells. Moreover, Yb(III) complex hindered the cellular scavenger system of the reactive oxygen species through reducing the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) cellular level imperiling MCF-7 cells by unmanageable oxidative stress. In addition to its cytotoxic effect, Yb(III) complex showed antimetastatic properties as it decreased the cellular levels of matrix metalloproteinases MMP-3 and MMP-9. These results showed that the Yb(III) complex is a promising cytotoxic metal-based agent that exerts its action through various molecular mechanisms with minimum effects on normal cells and with additional antimetastatic properties.

Abstract
Three novel copper(ii) complexes, Cu(L1)2 (1), Cu(L2)2·2DMF (2), and Cu(L3)2·2DMF (3), were synthesized using three aroylhydrazone ligands, (E)-2-hydroxy-N'-(1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene)benzohydrazide (HL1), (E)-3-hydroxy-N'-(1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene)benzohydrazide (HL2) and (E)-4-hydroxy-N'-(1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene)benzohydrazide (HL3). The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (IR), and Ultraviolet-visible light (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The X-ray crystal structures of the complexes all possess a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Both an absorption spectral titration and a competitive binding assay (ethidium bromide, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), and methyl green) revealed that complexes 2 and 3 bind readily to calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) through intercalative and minor groove binding modes. Complexes 2 and 3 also exhibited oxidative cleavage of supercoiled plasmid DNA (pUC19) in the presence of ascorbic acid as an activator. Cytotoxicity studies showed that complexes 2 and 3 possessed high cytotoxicities toward the HeLa human cervical cancer cell line, but weak toxicities toward the L929 normal mouse fibroblast cell line. We therefore have reason to believe that complexes 2 and 3 both show potential as promising anticancer candidate drugs.
