Abstract
Four Ag(I) complexes with mefenamato and nitrogen heterocyclic ligands, [Ag(2-apy)(mef)]2 (1), [Ag(3-apy)(mef)] (2), [Ag2(tmpyz)(mef)2] (3), and {[Ag(4,4'-bipy)(mef)]2(CH3CN)1.5(H2O)2}n (4), (mef = mefenamato, 2-apy = 2-aminopyridine, 3-apy = 3-aminopyridine, tmpyz = 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine), were synthesized and characterized. The interactions of these complexes with BSA were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, which indicated that these complexes quench the fluorescence of BSA by a static mechanism. The fluorescence data also indicated that the complexes showed good affinity for BSA, and one binding site on BSA was suitable for the complexes. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the four complexes against human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HepG-2, A549, and MDA-MB-468) and one normal cell line (HTR-8) was evaluated by the MTT assay. Complex 1 displayed high cytotoxic activity against A549 cells. Further studies revealed that complex 1 could enhance the intracellular levels of ROS (reactive oxygen species) in A549 cells, cause cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase, and induce apoptosis in A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Induction of mitochondrial toxicity by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): The ultimate trade-off governing the therapeutic merits and demerits of these wonder drugs. Biochem Pharmacol 2024:116283. [PMID: 38750902 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2024.116283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are most extensively used over-the-counter FDA-approved analgesic medicines for treating inflammation, musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, pyrexia and menstrual cramps. Moreover, aspirin is widely used against cardiovascular complications. Owing to their non-addictive nature, NSAIDs are also commissioned as safer opioid-sparing alternatives in acute trauma and post-surgical treatments. In fact, therapeutic spectrum of NSAIDs is expanding. These "wonder-drugs" are now repurposed against lung diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, fungal infections and most notably cancer, due to their efficacy against chemoresistance, radio-resistance and cancer stem cells. However, prolonged NSAID treatment accompany several adverse effects. Mechanistically, apart from cyclooxygenase inhibition, NSAIDs directly target mitochondria to induce cell death. Interestingly, there are also incidences of dose-dependent effects where NSAIDs are found to improve mitochondrial health thereby suggesting plausible mitohormesis. While mitochondria-targeted effects of NSAIDs are discretely studied, a comprehensive account emphasizing the multiple dimensions in which NSAIDs affect mitochondrial structure-function integrity, leading to cell death, is lacking. This review discusses the current understanding of NSAID-mitochondria interactions in the pathophysiological background. This is essential for assessing the risk-benefit trade-offs of NSAIDs for judiciously strategizing NSAID-based approaches to manage pain and inflammation as well as formulating effective anti-cancer strategies. We also discuss recent developments constituting selective mitochondria-targeted NSAIDs including theranostics, mitocans, chimeric small molecules, prodrugs and nanomedicines that rationally optimize safer application of NSAIDs. Thus, we present a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic merits and demerits of NSAIDs with mitochondria at its cross roads. This would help in NSAID-based disease management research and drug development.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation plays a crucial role in carcinogenesis. High levels of serum prostaglandin E2 and tissue overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) have been described in breast, urinary, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancers as being involved in tumor initiation, promotion, progression, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are prescribed for several medical conditions to not only decrease pain and fever but also reduce inflammation by inhibiting COX and its product synthesis. To date, significant efforts have been made to better understand and clarify the interplay between cancer development, inflammation, and NSAIDs with a view toward addressing their potential for cancer management. This review provides readers with an overview of the potential use of NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors for breast cancer treatment, highlighting pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo studies employed to evaluate the efficacy of NSAIDs and their use in combination with other antineoplastic drugs.

Abstract
Two copper(I) polymorphs of formula [Cu(SALH)(TPP)3] (1a and 1b) were prepared by the conjugation of the Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) salicylic acid (SALH2) with the mitochondriotropic agent triphenylphosphine (TPP) via metal ion. For comparison, the isomorph [Ag(SALH)(TPP)3] (2) was prepared. The conjugates 1a, 1b and 2 were characterized by melting point (m.p.), Attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). The crystal structures of 1a, 1b and 2 were confirmed by X-ray diffraction crystallography (XRD). The ex vivo binding affinity of 1-2 towards CT (calf thymus)-DNA was studied by UV, fluorescence, viscosity and DNA Thermal Denaturation studies. Their inhibitory activity against lipoxygenase (LOX) (an enzyme which is mainly located in the mitochondrion) was determined. The in vitro activity of 1-2 was evaluated against human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 (hormone depended (HD)) and MDA-MB 281 (hormone independent (HI)) cells. Compounds 1-2 inhibit stronger than cisplatin the cancerous cells. The molecular mechanism of action of 1-2 was suspected by the MCF-7 cells morphology and confirmed by DNA fragmentation, Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB) Staining and mitochondrial membrane permeabilization tests.

Abstract
The low water solubility of aspirin (ASPH) is well known, creating research challenges regarding both its composition and its delivery. Therefore, the development of new aspirin-based formulations that are water soluble is a research, technological, and financial issue. With the aim to improve the water solubility of ASPH, the micelle of formula SLS@ASPH (SLS = Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) was formed. The Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) of SLS in the presence of ASPH was determined by ultrasonic velocity, complementary, and transient birefringence measurements. The SLS@ASPH was characterized by the melting point (m.p.), attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (FT-IR-ATR), and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) in a solid state and in a solution by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The SLS/ASPH molar ratio was determined to be 5/1 in SLS@ASPH. The inhibitory activity of SLS@ASPH towards lipoxygenase (LOX), an enzyme that takes part in the inflammation mechanism, was studied. The inhibitory activity of SLS@ASPH against LOX is 3.5-fold stronger than that of free SLS. The in vitro toxicity of the SLS@ASPH was tested on immortalized human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells.

Abstract
Two silver(I) complexes with biologically relevant heterocyclic ligands, pyrrole and furan-2- carboxylic acid, were synthesized and their composition was confirmed using elemental, spectral, thermal and structural analyses. The {[Ag(Py2c)]}n (AgPy2c, Py2c = pyrrole-2-carboxylate) and {[Ag(Fu2c)]}n (AgFu2c, Fu2c = furan-2-carboxylate) solubility and stability in biological test stock solution were confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The X-ray analysis has enabled us to determine typical argentophilic interactions and bridging carboxylate coordination mode of both ligands. Potentiometric data analysis by BSTAC program resulted in the determination of the stability constant of only one species, i.e., the ML (M = Ag+, L = Fu2c-), log βML = 0.59 ± 0.04. Antimicrobial and anticancer tests were performed against selected microorganisms and cell lines with new silver(I) complexes and compared with AgSD (silver(I) sulfadiazine) and cisplatin. From their microbial toxicity point of view, selectivity was determined against lactobacilli (AgPy2c is 8× more effective against S. aureus and E. coli and AgFu2c is 8× more effective against E. coli and 4× against S. aureus). AgFu2c significant anticancer activity was determined against Jurkat cell lines (IC50 = 8.00 μM) and was similar to cisPt (IC50 = 6.3 μM) similarly to its selectivity (SI (AgFu2c) = 7.3, SI (cisPt) = 6.4, SI = selectivity index). In addition, cell cycle arrest was observed already in the Sub-G0 phase during a flow cytometry experiment. To evaluate the AgPy2c and AgFu2c bioavailability we also discuss their Lipinski's Rule of Five.

Their hydrophilicity was adjusted by their dispersion into sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), forming SLS@1-4. 1-4 and SLS@1-4 were characterized by their spectral data and X-ray crystallography. They inhibit the proliferation of human breast adenocarcinoma cells MCF-7 (hormone-dependent (HD)) and MDA-MB-231 (hormone-independent (HI)). X-ray fluorescence reveals the Ag cellular uptake. The in vitro and in vivo nongenotoxicity was confirmed with micronucleus (MN), Artemia salina, and Allium cepa assays. Their mechanism of action was studied by cell morphology, DNA fragmentation, acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) staining, cell cycle arrest, mitochondrial membrane permeabilization tests, DNA binding affinity, and LOX inhibitory activity and was rationalized by regression analysis.

Abstract
We demonstrate a single-step ultrasonic in situ complexation of salicylic acid during the growth of Fe3O4-reduced graphene oxide nanoparticles (∼10 nm) to improve the antioxidant and antiproliferative effects of pristine drug molecules. These nanoparticles have a precisely defined electronic molecular structure with salicylic acid ligands specifically complexed to Fe(III)/Fe(II) sites, four orders of magnitude larger electric surface potential, and enzymatic activity modulated by ascorbic acid molecules. The diminishing efficiency of hydroxyl radicals by Fe3O4-rGO-SA nanoparticles is tenfold higher than that by pristine salicylic acid in the electro-Fenton process. The H+ production of these nanoparticles can be switched by the interaction with ascorbic acid ligands and cause the redox deactivation of iron or enhanced antioxidation, where rGO plays an important role in enhanced charge transfer catalysis. Fe3O4-rGO-SA nanoparticles are nontoxic to erythrocytes, i.e., human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but surpassingly inhibit the growth of three cancer cell lines, HeLa, HepG2, and HT29, with respect to pristine salicylic acid molecules.

Abstract
Three silver(I) dipeptide complexes [Ag(GlyGly)]n(NO3)n (AgGlyGly), [Ag2(GlyAla)(NO3)2]n (AgGlyAla) and [Ag2(HGlyAsp)(NO3)]n (AgGlyAsp) were prepared, investigated and characterized by vibrational spectroscopy (mid-IR), elemental and thermogravimetric analysis and mass spectrometry. For AgGlyGly, X-ray crystallography was also performed. Their stability in biological testing media was verified by time-dependent NMR measurements. Their in vitro antimicrobial activity was evaluated against selected pathogenic microorganisms. Moreover, the influence of silver(I) dipeptide complexes on microbial film formation was described. Further, the cytotoxicity of the complexes against selected cancer cells (BLM, MDA-MB-231, HeLa, HCT116, MCF-7 and Jurkat) and fibroblasts (BJ-5ta) using a colorimetric MTS assay was tested, and the selectivity index (SI) was identified. The mechanism of action of Ag(I) dipeptide complexes was elucidated and discussed by the study in terms of their binding affinity toward the CT DNA, the ability to cleave the DNA and the ability to influence numbers of cells within each cell cycle phase. The new silver(I) dipeptide complexes are able to bind into DNA by noncovalent interaction, and the topoisomerase I inhibition study showed that the studied complexes inhibit its activity at a concentration of 15 μM.

Abstract
Two zinc(ii)-NSAID complexes [(phendione)ZnII(NPR)2(H2O)2] (1) and [(phendione)ZnII(MFN)2] (2) (HNPR = naproxen and HMFN = mefenamic acid) of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione (phendione) were isolated and characterized to evaluate their potential as anti-cancer agents. Each of the complexes contains two equivalents of NSAID per zinc(ii)-phendione unit. The complexes are stable in solution under cell culture conditions. Cytotoxic assay on the human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) reveals that the anti-proliferative activity of phendione is retained in both the complexes. The anti-inflammatory properties of NSAIDs are also preserved in the metal complexes as evident from the PGE2 assay. Both 1 and 2 exhibit selective COX-1 inhibition at a low concentration. Furthermore, the zinc(ii)-naproxen complex (1) disrupts the intercellular bridges displaying in vitro delay in cellular migration and down-regulation of EMT-related genes. The mechanistic studies indicate that the ternary complexes are more active compared to cisplatin and have the potential to overcome cisplatin resistance in MDA MB 231 cells. These findings demonstrate that the zinc(ii)-NSAID complexes are worthy of further in vivo studies for their promising anti-tumor potential.

Abstract
The in vivo toxicity of new metallodrugs either as Small Bioactive Molecules (SBAMs) or Conjugates of Metals with Drugs (CoMeDs) or their hydrogels such as with hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA) (pHEMA@SBAMs or pHEMA@CoMeDs) are evaluated by the brine shrimp assay. Thus individuals of Artemia salina larvae are incubated in saline solutions with SBAMs, CoMeDs, pHEMA@SBAMs or pHEMA@CoMeDs or without for 24 h. The toxicity is then determined in terms of the mortality rate of brine shrimp larvae. Brine shrimp assay is a low cost, safe, no required feeding during the assay, while it requiring only a small amount of the tested agent.

Novel silver glycinate conjugate with 3D polymeric intermolecular self-assembly architecture; an antiproliferative agent which induces apoptosis on human breast cancer cells. J Inorg Biochem 2021; 216:111351. [PMID: 33461021 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2020.111351] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2020] [Revised: 12/20/2020] [Accepted: 12/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023]
Abstract
The new water soluble silver(I) complex of glycine (GlyH) with formula [Ag3(Gly)2NO3]n (AGGLY) was synthesized. The compound was characterized by melting point (m.p.), Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-,13C NMR) spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystallography. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of AGGLY against human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines: MCF-7 (hormone depended (HD)) and MDA-MB-231 (hormone independent (HI)) was determined. For comparison other adenocarcinoma cells such as human cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa) cells and lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549) were also screened. AGGLY inhibits both breast cancer cell lines stronger than cisplatin. On the contrary, AGGLY, exhibits lower toxicity against fetal lung fibroblast (MRC-5) cells than cisplatin. Its genotoxicity against MRC-5 cells was detected from the presence or absence of micronucleus using fluorescence microscopy, while the in vivo genotoxicity was evaluated using Allium cepa model. The MCF-7 cells morphology suggests apoptotic pathway for their death. The apoptotic pathway was confirmed by cell cycle arrest, Acridine Orange/Ethidium Bromide (AO/EB) Staining, and permeabilization of the mitochondrial membrane tests. The molecular mechanism of action was further studied by the binding affinity of AGGLY towards the calf thymus (CT) DNA.

Abstract
Novel silver(i) aminoacidate complexes {[Ag(HVal)(H2O)(NO3)]}n (AgVal) and {[Ag3(HAsp)2(NO3)]}n·nH2O (AgAsp) were prepared, investigated and fully characterized by vibrational spectroscopy (mid-IR), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry. Their stability in D2O and PBS buffer was verified by time-dependent 1H and 13C NMR measurements. Their in vitro antibacterial activity (against pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus CCM4223, Escherichia coli CCM4787) and that against probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum CCM7102 and Lactobacillus reuteri (L26) were determined and potential dosing concentration was evaluated. The cytotoxicity of both the complexes against intestinal porcine epithelial (IPEC-1) and human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma (CaCo-2) cell lines was determined using the colorimetric MTT assay and against human metastatic melanoma (A2058), human pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PaTu 8902), human cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa), human colorectal carcinoma (HCT116), human leukaemic T cell lymphoma (Jurkat), and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) using colorimetric MTS assay. The selectivity index (SI) was identified for intestinal cancer (CaCo-2) and healthy (IPEC-1) cells. The mechanism of action of AgVal and AgAsp was further elucidated and discussed by the study of their binding affinity toward the CT DNA, the ability to cleave the supercoiled form of pUC19 DNA and the ability to influence numbers of cells within each cell cycle.

Abstract
The search for anticancer metal-based drugs alternative to platinum derivatives could not exclude zinc derivatives due to the importance of this metal for the correct functioning of the human body. Zinc, the second most abundant trace element in the human body, is one of the most important micro-elements essential for human physiology. Its ubiquity in thousands of proteins and enzymes is related to its chemical features, in particular its lack of redox activity and its ability to support different coordination geometries and to promote fast ligands exchange. Analogously to other trace elements, the impairment of its homeostasis can lead to various diseases and in some cases can be also related to cancer development. However, in addition to its physiological role, zinc can have beneficial therapeutic and preventive effects on infectious diseases and, compared to other metal-based drugs, Zn(II) complexes generally exert lower toxicity and offer few side effects. Zinc derivatives have been proposed as antitumor agents and, among the great number of zinc coordination complexes which have been described so far, this review focuses on the design, synthesis and biological studies of zinc complexes comprising N-donor ligands and that have been reported within the last five years.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies in women and often accompanied by inflammatory processes. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) plays a vital role in the progression of BC, correlating with the expression of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). Overexpression of PD-L1 contributes to the immune escape of cancer cells, and its blockade would stimulate anticancer immunity. Two multispecific platinum(IV) complexes DNP and NP were prepared using non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug naproxen (NPX) as axial ligand(s) to inhibit the BC cells. DNP exhibited high cytotoxicity and antiinflammatory properties superior over NP, cisplatin and NPX; moreover, it displayed potent antitumor activity and almost no general toxicity in mice bearing triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Mechanistic studies revealed that DNP could downregulate the expression of COX-2 and PD-L1 in vitro and vivo, inhibit the secretion of prostaglandin, reduce the expression of BC-associated protein BRD4 and phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (Erk1/2), and block the oncogene c-Myc in BC cells. These findings demonstrate that DNP is capable of intervening in inflammatory, immune, and metastatic processes of BC, thus presenting a new mechanism of action for anticancer platinum(IV) complexes. The multispecificity offers a special superiority for DNP to treat TNBC by combining chemotherapy and immunotherapy in one molecule.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most prominent, frequently diagnosed and leading cause of death among women. Estrogen is an agonist of estrogen receptor alpha (ER-α), expressed in mammary glands and is responsible for initiating many signalling pathways that lead to differentiation and development of breast tissue. Any mutations in these signalling pathways result in irregular growth of mammary tissue, leading to the development of tumour or cancer. All these observations attract the attention of researchers to antagonize ER-α receptor either by developing selective estrogen receptor modulators or by selective estrogen receptor degraders. Therefore, this article provides a brief overview of various factors that are responsible for provoking breast cancer in women and design strategies recently used by the various research groups across the world for antagonizing or demodulating ER-α.

Abstract
Four new dicyanoargentate(I)-based complexes 1-4 were synthesized from certain metal ions with a tetradentate ligand [N, N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) -ethylenediamine; N-bishydeten] and determined by diverse procedures (elemental, thermal, FT-IR, ESI-MS for 1-3 and, magnetic susceptibility and EPR for 1, and 2) including crystal analysis of 4. The crystal method revealed that complex 4 has a sandwich-type like polymeric chemical structure with layers formed by [Cd(N-bishydeten)2]2+ cations and [Ag(CN)2]- anions. The complexes were further characterized by fluorescence and UV spectroscopy to determine their physicochemical features. The complexes displayed a DNA binding activity within the same range as found for cisplatin, in addition to their strong stability in the presence of the physiological buffer system. The complexes were also investigated for pharmacological properties like interaction with DNA/Bovine serum albumin, anticancer and antibacterial activities. Physicochemical studies of DNA with the complexes suggested that the interaction mode between them are possibly both intercalative and groove binding types. These spectroscopic measurements also show that there may be a binding tendency between BSA and the complexes via hydrogen or Van der Waals bonds. The viability tests demonstrated that all the complexes exhibited antibacterial (1-4) and anticancer effects (2-4) toward ten diverse bacterial strains and three tumor cells (HT-29 colon adenocarcinoma, HeLa cervical cancer, and C6 glioma), respectively.

Abstract
1,2-Bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpa) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (bpe) were used for the synthesis of polynuclear silver(I) complexes, {[Ag(bpa)]NO3}n (1), {[Ag(bpa)2]CF3SO3 .H2O}n (2) and {[Ag(bpe)]CF3SO3}n (3). In complexes 1-3, the corresponding nitrogen-containing heterocycle acts as a bridging ligand between two Ag(I) ions. In vitro antimicrobial activity of these complexes, along with the ligands used for their synthesis, was evaluated against the broad panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi. The silver(I) complexes 1-3 showed selectivity towards Candida spp. and Gram-negative Escherichia coli in comparison to the other investigated bacterial strains, effectively inhibiting the growth of four different Candida species with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) between 2.5 and 25 μg/mL and the growth of E. coli, with MIC value being 12.5 μg/mL. Importantly, complex 2 significantly reduced C. albicans filamentation, an essential process for its pathogenesis. Antiproliferative effect on the normal human lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5 was also evaluated with the aim of determining the therapeutic potential of the complexes 1-3. The interactions of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied to evaluate their binding activities towards these biomolecules for possible insights on their mode of action.

Abstract
Synergistic effects and promising anticancer activities encourage the combination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with metallodrugs. Here, we discuss the interactions of an organometallic complex consisting of an acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) moiety attached to a PtII center via an alkenol linker in a Zeise's salt-type coordination (ASA-buten-PtCl3) with model peptides angiotensin 1 (AT), substance P (Sub P), and ubiquitin (UQ). Top-down mass spectrometry experiments show that the amino acid involved in the initial binding to the metal complex controls the coordination sphere of PtII in the adducts. The strong trans labilizing effect of the coordinating sulfur atom in Met causes fast release of the organic moiety and leads to the formation of dimers and oligomers in the case of Sub P. In contrast, interactions with nitrogen donors in AT result in stable adducts containing the intact ASA-buten-PtII complex. UQ forms two sets of PtII adducts, only one of them retains the ASA moiety, which is presumably the result of an unexpected binding geometry. Importantly, UQ is additionally acetylated at various Ser and Lys residues by the ASA-buten-PtCl3 complex. Control experiments with ASA are negative. This is the first example of concomitant platination and acetylation of a peptide with an ASA metal complex.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with more than 1.7 million diagnoses worldwide per annum. Metastatic breast cancer remains incurable, and the presence of triple-negative phenotypes makes targeted treatment impossible. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), most commonly associated with the metabolism of xenobiotic ligands, has emerged as a promising biological target for the treatment of this deadly disease. Ligands for the AhR can be classed as exogenous or endogenous and may have agonistic or antagonistic activity. It has been well reported that agonistic ligands may have potent and selective growth inhibition activity in a number of oncogenic cell lines, and one (aminoflavone) has progressed to phase I clinical trials for breast cancer sufferers. In this study, we examine the current state of the literature in this area and elucidate the promising advances that are being made in hijacking the cytosolic-to-nuclear pathway of the AhR for the possible future treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
The in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity of new metallodrugs either as Small Bioactive Molecules (SBAMs) or Conjugates of Metals with Drugs (CoMeDs) is evaluated by the micronucleus test and the Allium cepa assay, respectively. Fetal lung fibroblast cells (MRC-5), normal human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) and immortalized human keratinocytes cells (HaCaT) were incubated with solutions of SBAMs or CoMeDs at their IC50 values for 48 h (the concentration of a compound which is required to inhibit the cells growth by 50% in relation to the non-treated cells). The micronucleus abundance percentage towards the corresponding one, of the non-treated cells indicates the in vitro genotoxicity of the formulations. The in vivo Allium cepa test comprises the exposing of the plant Allium cepa roots to an SBAMs or a CoMeDs solution for 48 h. The percentages of the mitotic index, the chromosome aberrations, the nuclear abnormalities and the presence of the micronucleus are calculated indicating the in vivo genotoxicity of the agent.

Abstract
The conjugation of diclofenac (DICLH), a Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID), with biocides such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and triphenylphosphine (TPP), through silver(I) ions, results into the chemical [Agn(DICL)n(L)m]k (L = DMSO and n = 2, m = 2, k = infinite (1); L = TPP and n = 1, m = 2, k = 1 (2)). The compounds were characterized by m.p., FT-IR, UV-vis and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The crystal and molecular structures of 1-2 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of 1-2 against the human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cells MCF-7 (hormone dependent) and MDA-MB-231 (hormone independent) reveals that the 1 inhibits the MCF-7 rather than the MDA-MB-231 cells, suggesting hormone mimetic behaviour. Compound 2 inhibits both cancerous cell lines, stronger than cisplatin. Both compounds inhibit MCF-7 cells migration. Compounds 1-2, exhibit, lower toxicity against fetal lung fibroblast (MRC-5) cells than cisplatin. Their genotoxicity was evaluated on MRC-5 cells. The molecular mechanism of 1-2 against MCF-7 cells was clarified by (i) their cell cycle arrest study (ii) their mitochondrial membrane permeability (iii) their binding affinity towards Calf Thymus (CT)-DNA and (iv) their inhibitory activity against the enzyme lipoxygenase (LOX). Regression analysis of the data obtained for [Ag(NSAID)(Ar3P)m] (NSAID = p‑hydroxy‑benzoic acid (p-HO-BZAH), salicylic acid (SALH2), aspirin (ASPH), naproxen (NAPRH), nimesulide (NIMH); L = TPP, Tri(p‑tolyl)phosphine (TPTP), Tri(o‑tolyl)phosphine (TOTP), Tri(m‑tolyl)phosphine (TMTP); m = 2 or 3) and [Ag(DICL)2(DMSO)2]k (k = infinite) was performed. Considering the biological results (IC50) as dependent variable a theoretical equation is obtained for these compounds. The calculated IC50 values are compared satisfactorily with the corresponding experimental inhibitory activity of the complexes.
