Abstract
Copper is one of the common among the heavy metal pollution in Chinese herbal medicine (CHM). So, it is essential to develop rapid and accurate testing method to quantify the Cu2+ content in CHM. Herein, we prepared a coordination-based near-infrared fluorescent probe (NRh6G-FA) by introducing a hemicyanine dye in rhodamine 6G scaffold. NRh6G-FA had a high sensitivity, anti-interference performance, fast response (within 60 s), visualization (from light yellow to green) for Cu2+ and excellent sensing performance for the detection of Cu2+ at low concentrations (LOD = 0.225 μM). The most likely mechanism was verified on the basis of Job's plot, ESI-HRMS and DFT calculations. NRh6G-FA could be successfully applied for the detection and "naked eye" recognition of Cu2+ in CHM samples. Moreover, NRh6G-FA was used to visualize Cu2+ in living MCF-7 cells by confocal fluorescence imaging.

Abstract
Lung malignancy is a major worldwide issue that occurs due to the dysregulation of various growth factors. Lung cancer has no apparent signs in the early stages, which makes it harder to catch it in time and leads to a higher fatality rate. So, the goal of this work was to create and analyze a novel chemical molecule called 4-nitro acetophenone thiosemicarbazone (4-NAPTSc) against the lung cancer cell line A549 and human non-tumorigenic lung epithelial cell line BAES-2B. The ligand was synthesized by refluxing the reaction mixture of 4-nitro acetophenone and thiosemicarbazide and was further characterized by UV, FTIR, and 1H and 13C NMR and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) study. Cytotoxicity assay/MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl))2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the compound. Epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR), polo-like kinase-1 (PLK1), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) were chosen as the target proteins for molecular docking to find potential ligand binding sites and inhibit their function. A novel yellow-colored crystalline solid has been synthesized. 4-NAPTSc had an IC50 of 2.93 μg/mL against the A549 lung cancer cells. When the dosage is increased from 5 to 15 μg/mL along with time, the cell viability falls. Docking results showed that the compound binds with the targeted proteins' amino acid residues, and the likeness profile of the compound is also favorable. This study reveals that the compound has the potential for further investigation and can be used in multitargeted cancer therapies.

Abstract
Cisplatin remains the most widely used chemotherapeutic agent in cancer treatment; however, its inherent drawbacks have fueled the development of novel metalloanticancer drugs. In this study, two novel Cu(II) complexes (Cu1 and Cu2) were designed and synthesized. Notably, these Cu(II) complexes showed higher cytotoxicity against HL-7402 cells than cisplatin. Moreover, Cu(II) complexes significantly inhibited liver cancer growth in a xenograft model. A mechanism study revealed that the Cu(II) complexes reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential of cancer cells, produced excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), induced mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage, and ultimately facilitated cancer cell apoptosis.

Abstract
The development of copper(II) thiosemicarbazone complexes as potential anticancer agents, possessing dual functionality as inhibitors of R2 ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) and tubulin polymerization by binding at the colchicine site, presents a promising avenue for enhancing therapeutic effectiveness. Herein, we describe the syntheses and physicochemical characterization of four isomeric proligands H2L3-H2L6, with the methylmorpholine substituent at pertinent positions of the pyridine ring, along with their corresponding Cu(II) complexes 3-6. Evidently, the position of the morpholine moiety and the copper(II) complex formation have marked effects on the in vitro antiproliferative activity in human uterine sarcoma MES-SA cells and the multidrug-resistant derivative MES-SA/Dx5 cells. Activity correlated strongly with quenching of the tyrosyl radical (Y•) of mouse R2 RNR protein, inhibition of RNR activity in the cancer cells, and inhibition of tubulin polymerization. Insights into the mechanism of antiproliferative activity, supported by experimental results and molecular modeling calculations, are presented.

Abstract
Due to the antitumor properties, Zn(II) complexes have attracted more and more attention. Herein, three novel tetranuclear Zn(II) complexes 1-3 based on dihydrazone pyrimidine derivatives H2L1-H2L3 were synthesized and characterized using IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, XRD, TG and elemental analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that 1-3 all displayed a [2 × 2] grid-like topology. The stability in solution, lipophilicity, confocal imaging and antitumor activities were investigated. Complexes 1-3 displayed high structural stability, membrane permeability and different lipophilicities. They can target mitochondria due to the cation charge. The MTT assay indicated that all of them exhibited stronger antiproliferative activity than the corresponding derivatives H2L1-H2L3 and the well-known cisplatin against all the selected tumor cells (BGC-823, BEL-7402, MCF-7 and A549), with IC50 values ranging from 2.83 μM to 7.97 μM. AO/EB double staining, flow cytometry and ROS detection suggested that complexes 1 and 2 could induce BGC-823 apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. UV-Vis spectra, CD spectra, viscosity analysis and molecular docking revealed that complexes 1 and 2 interact with DNA mainly via partial intercalation and groove binding. Tetranuclear [2 × 2] grid-like Zn(II) complexes have the potential to be promising antitumor agents in the future.

Abstract
The present study describes synthesizing a novel series of polyfunctionalized pyridine congeners 1-18 and assessed for cytotoxic efficacies versus HCT-116, MCF-7, and HepG-2 among one non-cancerous BJ-1 human normal cell. Most compounds were precisely potent anticancer candidate drugs. The molecular impact of the most active compounds 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 17 was evaluated after MCF-7 treatment. The gene expression of pro- and ant-apoptosis markers P53, Bax, Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 as well as VEGFR-2 and HER2 were determined. Compounds 13 and 15 induced upregulation of pro-apoptosis of P53, Bax, Caspase-3 and downregulation of anti-apoptosis Bcl-2 gene. However, compound 15 showed higher effect compared to 13 and respective control. Moreover, a slight reduction in HER2 gene expression was detected due to compound 15 treatment, while VEGFR-2 gene was upregulated. In agreement, the immunoblotting analysis showed higher accumulation of P53, Bax, Caspase-3 proteins and of decrease the Bcl-2 protein levels. Furthermore, docking studies united with molecular dynamic simulation exposed compounds 13 and 15 fitting in the middle of the active site at the interface linking the ATP binding site and the allosteric hydrophobic binding pocket. Finally, we performed Petra/Osiris/ Molinspiration (POM) analysis for the newly synthesized compounds. The evaluation of primary in silico parameters revealed significant differences among individual polyfunctionalized pyridine compounds, highlighting the most promising candidates. These preliminary results may help in coordinating and initiating other research projects focused on polyfunctionalized pyridine compounds, especially those with predicted bioactivity, low toxicity, optimal ADME parameters, and promising perspectives.

Abstract
Telomerase can overcome replicative senescence by elongation of telomeres but is also a specific element in most cancer cells. It is expressed more vastly than any other tumor marker. Telomerase as a tumor target inducing replicative immortality can be overcome by only one other mechanism: alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). This limits the probability to develop resistance to treatments. Moreover, telomerase inhibition offers some degree of specificity with a low risk of toxicity in normal cells. Nevertheless, only one telomerase antagonist reached late preclinical studies. The underlying causes, the pitfalls of telomerase-based therapies, and future chances based on recent technical advancements are summarized in this review. Based on new findings and approaches, we propose a concept how long-term survival in telomerase-based cancer therapies can be significantly improved: the TICCA (Transient Immediate Complete and Combinatory Attack) strategy.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a classic anticancer drug widely used as a reference drug to test new metal complex drug candidates. We found an unexpected diversity in cisplatin-related cytotoxicity values, expressed as IC50 (the half-maximal inhibitory concentration) in tumour cell lines, such as MCF-7, HepG2 and HeLa. We reviewed the data published from 2018 to 2022. A total of 41 articles based on 56 in vitro experiments met our eligibility criteria. Using a meta-analysis based on a random effect model, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of cisplatin (IC50) after 48- or 72-h cell exposure. We found large differences between studies using a particular cell line. According to the random effect model, the 95% confidence intervals for IC50 were extremely wide. The heterogeneity of cisplatin IC50, as measured by the I2 index for all cancer cell lines, was over 99.7% at culture times of 48 or 72 h. Therefore, the variability between studies is due to experimental heterogeneity rather than chance. Despite the higher IC50 values after 48 h than after 72 h, the heterogeneity between the two culture periods did not differ significantly. This indicates that the duration of cultivation is not the main cause of heterogeneity. Therefore, the available data is diverse and not useful as a reference. We discuss possible reasons for the IC50 heterogeneity and advise researchers to conduct preliminary testing before starting experiments and not to solely rely on the published data. We hope that this systematic meta-analysis will provide valuable information for researchers searching for new cancer drugs using cisplatin as a reference drug.

Abstract
Over the years, the escalation of cancer cases has been linked to the resistance, less selectivity, and toxicity of available anticancer drugs to normal cells. Therefore, continuous efforts are necessary to find new anticancer drugs with high selectivity of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) as a therapeutic target. The EGFR-TK protein has a crucial role in cell proliferation and cancer progression. With about 30% of cancer cases involved with the protein, it has piqued the interest as a therapeutic target. The potential of theoretically designed thiourea derivatives as anticancer agents in this report was evaluated against EGFR-TK via in silico techniques, including molecular docking (AutoDock Vina), molecular dynamics simulations (GROMACS), pharmacokinetics, and drug-likeness properties (SwissADME and Molinspiration). New hybrid molecules of the thiourea derivative moiety were designed in this study based on the fragment-based drug discovery and linked with diverse pharmacophoric fragments with reported anticancer potential ([Formula: see text]) and the modification of the methyl position on phenyl ring ([Formula: see text]). These fragments include pyridine, thiophene, furan, pyrrole and styrene groups. Out of 15 compounds, compound 13 displayed the most potent inhibitory activity, with the lowest binding affinity in docking of [Formula: see text]8.7 kcal/mol compared to the positive control erlotinib of [Formula: see text]6.7 kcal/mol. Our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations revealed that molecule 13, comprising styrene and 2-methylphenyl substituents on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively, showed adequate compactness, uniqueness and satisfactory stability. Subsequently, the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET) properties and drug-likeness properties also indicate that this theoretically designed inhibitor ( 13) is less toxic and contains high druggable properties. Thus, compound 13 could be promising against EGFR-TK.

Abstract
P53 plays a key role in protecting the human genome from DNA-related mutations; however, it is one of the most frequently mutated genes in cancer. The P53 family members p63 and p73 were also shown to play important roles in cancer development and progression. Currently, there are various organic molecules from different structural classes of compounds that could reactivate the function of wild-type p53, degrade or inhibit mutant p53, etc. It was shown that: (1) the function of the wild-type p53 protein was dependent on the presence of Zn atoms, and (2) Zn supplementation restored the altered conformation of the mutant p53 protein. This prompted us to question whether the dependence of p53 on Zn and other metals might be used as a cancer vulnerability. This review article focuses on the role of different metals in the structure and function of p53, as well as discusses the effects of metal complexes based on Zn, Cu, Fe, Ru, Au, Ag, Pd, Pt, Ir, V, Mo, Bi and Sn on the p53 protein and p53-associated signaling.

Abstract
This review focuses on some interesting and recent applications of transition metals towards the complexation of thiosemicarbazides, thiocarbohydrazides, and their corresponding carbazones. We started the review with a description of the chosen five metals, including Cu[Cu(I), Cu(II], Co(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), and Ag(I) and their electronic configurations. The stability of the assigned complexes was also discussed. We shed light on different routes describing the synthesis of these ligands. We also reported on different examples of the synthesis of Cu(I), Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Ag(I), and Pd(II) of thiosemicarbazide and thiocarbohydrazide complexes (until 2022). This review also deals with a summary of the fruitful use of metal complexes of thiosemicarbazones and thiocarbazones ligands in the field of catalysis. Finally, this recent review focuses on the applications of these complexes related to their biological importance.

[PMID: 36601965 DOI: 10.1002/cbdv.202200710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 12/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Schiff base ligand (L) was obtained by condensation reaction between 4-aminopyrimidin-2(1H)-one (cytosine) with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. The synthesized Schiff base was used for complexation with Cu(II) and Fe(II) ions used by a molar (2 : 1 mmol ration) in methanol solvent. The structural features of ligand, Cu(II), and Fe(II) metal complexes were determined by standard spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, elemental analysis, proton and carbon NMR spectra, UV/VIS, and mass spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, thermal analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction). The synthesized compounds (Schiff base and its metal complexes) were screened in terms of their anti-proliferative activities in U118 and T98G human glioblastoma cell lines alone or in combination with electroporation (EP). Moreover, the human HDF (human dermal fibroblast) cell lines was used to check the bio-compatibility of the compounds. Anti-proliferative activities of all compounds were ascertained using an MTT assay. The complexes exhibited a good anti-proliferative effect on U118 and T98G glioblastoma cell lines. In addition, these compounds had a negligible cytotoxic effect on the fibroblast HDF cell lines. The use of compounds in combination with EP significantly decreased the IC50 values compared to the use of compounds alone (p<0.05). These results show that newly synthesized Cu(II) and Fe(II) complexes can be developed for use in the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant U118 and T98G glioblastoma cells and that treatment with lower doses can be provided when used in combination with EP.

Abstract
This study reports on the exploration of the phosphinoboration reaction with several thiosemicarbazones (R5R4NC(S)NR3N=CR1R2). Reactions between either Ph2PBpin (pin = 1,2-O2C2Me4) or Ph2PBcat (cat = 1,2-O2C6H4) with thiosemicarbazones containing a terminal primary or secondary amine afforded boron-containing heterocyclic 1,3,4-thiadiazoline products in excellent yield. The addition of Ph2PBpin to thiosemicarbazones containing an NMe2 group in the terminal position generated novel five-membered heterocycles in moderate yield, which included boron, sulfur, and nitrogen atoms. Heterocyclization of the thiosemicarbazones occurs preferentially in the presence of functional groups such as acetyl and pyridyl groups.

Abstract
In order to investigate the coordination chemistry and pharmacological applications of bismuth compounds, a series of new bismuth(III) halide thiosemicarbazone complexes were synthesized. The reactions of thiophene-2-carbaldehyde-N-substituted thiosemicarbazones with bismuth(III) halides resulted in the formation of the {[[BiCl2(η1-S-Httsc)4]+.Cl-][BiCl2(μ2-Cl)(η1-S-Httsc)2]2} (1), {[BiCl3(η1-S-Htmtsc)3].CH3OH} (2), {[BiCl3(η1-S-Htetsc)3].CH3OH} (3), {[BiBr2(μ2-Br)(η1-S-Httsc)2]2.CH3OH} (4), {[BiBr2(μ2-Br)(η1-S-Htmtsc)2]n} (5), and {[BiI2(μ2-I)(η1-S-Httsc)2]2} (6) complexes (Httsc: thiophene-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, Htmtsc: thiophene-2-carbaldehyde-N-methyl thiosemicarbazone, Htetsc: thiophene-2-carbaldehyde-N-ethyl thiosemicarbazone). The complexes were characterized by a number of different spectroscopic techniques and the crystal structures of all bismuth(III) complexes (1-6) were determined by using single crystal X-ray diffraction study. In addition, the thermal stability of the complexes was compared using Thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis. Crystal structures of the two free ligands, thiophene-2-carbaldehyde-N-methyl-thiosemicarbazone and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde-N-ethyl-thiosemicarbazone, were also determined by using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Hirshfeld surface of the bismuth(III) complexes and free ligands were additionally analyzed to verify the intermolecular interactions. Biological studies showed that all six bismuth(III) thiosemicarbazone complexes (1-6) exhibited biological activities against selected bacteria and the human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell line.

Abstract
The α-N-Heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes have been widely investigated as anticancer and antibacterial agents for their broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. Thus, two thiosemicarbazone-based Cu(II) complexes, [Cu2(ptpc)I2] (1) and [Cu(qtpc)I] (2) with thiosemicarbazone ligand (ptpc = 2-(di(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)-N-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, qtpc = 2-(quinolin-8-ylmethylene)-N-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide) were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. Complexes 1 and 2 are superior to cisplatin in vitro antiproliferative activities toward hepatocellular carcinoma cell line with the half maximal inhibitory concentration value of 0.2 and 2 μM, respectively. A series of spectroscopic assays and the DNA cleavage experiments showed that both complexes can change and distort the conformation of DNA. Molecular docking experiment further demonstrated that complex 1 binds to DNA mainly in groove mode. Meanwhile, benefiting from their good liposolubility, complexes 1 and 2 could easily enter cells, which further triggers cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, complexes 1 and 2 caused serious mitochondrial damage, associating with increased the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+, decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), and transformed mitochondrial morphology. These findings indicated that complexes 1 and 2 might exert their anticancer activity by inducing DNA and mitochondrial damage simultaneously.

Abstract
The paper aims to examine the proliferation of bone marrow cell pool in Djungarian hamsters and the subsequent restoration of their genetic stability after the action of thiotepa (TT). The study involved 36 animals, of which 16 were in the control group (injected with 0.25 ml of physiological solution), and 20 in the experimental group (0.25 ml of thiotepa at a dose of 1.5 mg per 1 kg of body weight). The maximum number of cells with CA amounting to 30.0% was observed 13 hours after TT injection (p≤0.05 between the control and experimental groups) and rapidly declined to 5.7% over subsequent periods by the 37th hour of the experiment (p≤0.05). The results suggest that the restoration of cell pool genetic stability is largely associated with the cell selection mechanisms, which confers an advantage over cell proliferation without chromosome anomalies.

Abstract
Twelve new complexes Cu(L1)2-Cu(L12)2 were designed and synthesized to improve their chemotherapeutic properties. They showed considerable antiproliferative activity against T24 cancer cells but lower cytotoxicity to human normal cells HL-7702 and WI-38. A mechanism study indicated that Cu(L4)2 and Cu(L10)2 were reduced to Fenton-like Cu+ by glutathione depletion, and the resulting Cu+ catalyzed the generation of highly toxic hydroxyl radicals from excess H2O2. Simultaneously, Cu(L4)2 and Cu(L10)2 could decrease the catalase activity to restrain H2O2 transfer to H2O for enhanced chemodynamic therapy (CDT). These induced mitochondrial dysfunctions and endoplasmic reticulum stress to induce T24 cell apoptosis. In addition, Cu(L4)2 and Cu(L10)2 inhibited autophagy flux to promote cell apoptosis. Cu(L4)2 and Cu(L10)2 demonstrated strong tumor inhibition ability in the T24 xenograft model. Moreover, Cu(L10)2 showed higher antitumor activity and a better safety profile than the CDT agent Cu1. Cu(L10)2 exhibited excellent pharmacokinetic properties. Collectively, Cu(L4)2 and Cu(L10)2 could be developed as potential CDT candidates for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Two ternary copper(II) complexes with 2,2'-biquinoline (BQ) and with sulfonamides: sulfamethazine (SMT) or sulfaquinoxaline (SDQ) whose formulae are Cu(SMT)(BQ)Cl and Cu(SDQ)(BQ)Cl·CH3OH, in what follows SMTCu and SDQCu, respectively, induced oxidative stress by increasing ROS level from 1.0 μM and the reduction potential of the couple GSSG/GSH2. The co-treatment with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), which inhibits the production of GSH, enhanced the effect of copper complexes on tumor cell viability and on oxidative damage. Both complexes generated DNA strand breaks given by-at least partially-the oxidation of pyrimidine bases, which caused the arrest of the cell cycle in the G2/M phase. These phenomena triggered processes of apoptosis proven by activation of caspase 3 and externalization of phosphatidylserine and loss of cell integrity from 1.0 μM. The combination with BSO induced a marked increase in the apoptotic population. On the other hand, an improved cell proliferation effect was observed when combining SDQCu with a radiation dose of 2 Gy from 1.0 μM or with 6 Gy from 1.5 μM. Finally, studies in multicellular spheroids demonstrated that even though copper(II) complexes did not inhibit cell invasion in collagen gels up to 48 h of treatment at the higher concentrations, multicellular resistance outperformed several drugs currently used in cancer treatment. Overall, our results reveal an antitumor effect of both complexes in monolayer and multicellular spheroids and an improvement with the addition of BSO. However, only SDQCu was the best adjuvant of ionizing radiation treatment.

Abstract
Six complexes with the general formula [Cu(acylthioureato)(PPh3)2] were synthesized and characterized using spectroscopic techniques (IR, UV/visible, and 1D and 2D NMR), mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Interpretation of the in vitro cytotoxicity data of Cu(I) complexes took into account their stability in cell culture medium. DFT calculations showed that NMR properties, such as the shielding of carbon atoms, are affected by relativistic effects, supported by the ZORA Hamiltonian in the theoretical calculations. Additionally, the calculation of the energies of the frontier molecular orbitals predicted that the structural changes of the acylthiourea ligands did not cause marked changes in the reactivity descriptors. All complexes were cytotoxic to the evaluated tumor cell lines [MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative breast cancer, TNBC), MCF-7 (breast cancer), and A549 (lung cancer)]. In the MDA-MB-231 cell line, complex 1 significantly altered the cytoskeleton of the cells, reducing the density and promoting the condensation of F-actin filaments. In addition, the compound caused an increase in the percentage of cells in the fragmented DNA region (sub-G0) and induced cell death via the apoptotic pathway starting at the IC50 concentration. Taken together, the results show that complex 1 has cytotoxic and apoptotic effects on TNBC cells, which is a cell line originating from an aggressive, difficult-to-treat breast cancer.

Antiproliferative activity of two copper (II) complexes on colorectal cancer cell models: Impact on ROS production, apoptosis induction and NF-κB inhibition. Eur J Pharm Sci 2021; 169:106092. [PMID: 34879254 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejps.2021.106092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The main goal of this work was to screen the antiproliferative activity and mechanism of actions of two copper complexes: [Cu(dmp)2(CH3CN)]2+ (1) and [Cu(phen)2(CH3CN)]2+ (2) on 2D and 3D colorectal cancer cells models. Cell viability studies on three colorectal cancer cell lines (HT-29, LS174T, Caco-2) displayed that 1 showed more robust antiproliferative activity than 2 and cisplatin. Intracellular copper content (63.24% and 48.06% for 1 and 2, respectively) can explain the differences in the cytotoxicity assay. ROS production is the primary mechanism of action involved in the antiproliferative activity of 1 showing 4-, 70- and 2.5- fold increased values of ROS level for HT-29, LS174T, Caco-2 cancer cell lines, respectively. This effect takes place along with the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane at 2 µM. Besides, both complexes increased apoptosis on three cancer cell lines at low micromolar concentrations (0.5-2.5 μM). Moreover, 1 and 2 inhibited NF-κB pathway both in HT-29-NF-kB-hrGFP monolayer (0.5 to 1 μM) and spheroids HT-29 GFP (5 to 10 μM). This inhibitory effect leads to an inactivation of the MMP-9 expression on HT-29 cell line. Altogether, these results showed that 1 exhibits antiproliferative activity on human colorectal cancer cells in the monolayer and the 3D model.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify new metal-based anticancer drugs; to this end, we synthesized two new copper(II) complexes, namely [Cu(ncba)4(phen)] (1) and [Cu(ncba)4(bpy)] (2), comprised 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid as the main ligand. The single-crystal XRD approach was employed to determine the copper(II) complex structures. Binding between these complexes and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) was explored by electronic absorption, fluorescence spectroscopy, and viscometry. Both complexes intercalatively bound CT-DNA and statically and spontaneously quenched DNA/HSA fluorescence. A CCK-8 assay revealed that complex 1 and complex 2 had substantial antiproliferative influences against human cancer cell lines. Moreover, complex 1 had greater antitumor efficacy than the positive control cisplatin. Flow cytometry assessment of the cell cycle demonstrated that these complexes arrested the HepG2 cell cycle and caused the accumulation of G0/G1-phase cells. The mechanism of cell death was elucidated by flow cytometry-based apoptosis assays. Western blotting revealed that both copper(II) complexes induced apoptosis by regulating the expression of the Bcl-2(Bcl-2, B cell lymphoma 2) protein family.

Abstract
Three Cu(II) complexes of quinoline derivatives as cancer chemodynamic therapy agents were synthesized and characterized. These complexes were heavily taken up by cells and reacted with cellular glutathione (GSH) to reduce Cu2+ to Fenton-like Cu+, which catalyzed endogenous H2O2 to produce the highly toxic hydroxyl radicals (•OH) to kill cancer cells. Cu1 and Cu2 initiated CAT activity declines, mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP concentration decrease, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and ER stress response, leading to cell cycle arrest in sub-G1 and cancer cell caspase-dependent apoptosis. On account of the high GSH and H2O2 specific properties of the tumor microenvironment, Cu1 and Cu2 exhibited higher in vitro anticancer activity and lower toxicity to normal cells. Cu1 and Cu2 efficiently inhibited tumor growth in the SK-OV-3 xenograft mouse model without obvious systemic toxicity.

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
The anticancer function and anticancer mechanism of indium (In) complexes still remain mysterious to date. Furthermore, it is greatly challenging to design a multi-functional metal agent that not only kills cancer cells but also inhibits their invasion and metastasis. Thus, to develop novel next-generation anticancer metal agents, we designed and synthesized a series of novel In(iii) 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(thiosemicarbazide) complexes (C1-C4) for the first time and then investigated their structure-activity relationships with human urinary bladder cancer (T-24) cells. In particular, C4 not only showed higher cytotoxicity to cancer cells and less toxicity toward normal cells relative to cisplatin but also inhibited cell invasion and metastasis of T-24 cells. Interestingly, C4 acted against T-24 cells exhibiting multiple mechanisms: (1) arresting the S-phase of cell cycle via regulation of cytokine kinases, (2) activating the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum-stress-mediated cell death, PERK and c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK) cell signaling pathways, and (3) inhibiting the expression of telomerase via the regulation of c-myc and h-TERT proteins. Our results suggested that C4 may be developed as a potential multi-functional and multi-targeting anticancer candidate.

Abstract
New silver(i) compounds containing 2-formylpyridine-N(4)-R-thiosemicarbazones and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques (IR and NMR), elemental analysis, ESI-MS and molar conductance measurements. In these complexes, both phen and thiosemicarbazone ligands are coordinated in a chelating bidentate fashion. Compounds 1-3 not only showed good in vitro antiproliferative activity against human lung (A549) and breast tumor cells (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7), with IC50 values ranging from 1.49 to 20.90 μM, but were also demonstrated to be less toxic towards human breast non-tumor cells (MCF-10A). Cellular uptake studies indicated that compounds 1-3 were taken up by the MDA-MB-231 cells in 6 hours. Cell death assays in the MDA-MB-231 cells were conducted with compound 1 aiming to evaluate its effects on cell morphology, induction of apoptosis, the cell cycle, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm). Compound 1 caused morphological changes, such as cell shrinkage and rounding, increased the sub-G1 phase population, and induced apoptotic cell death, ROS formation and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm). DNA binding results revealed that 1 interacted with the ct-DNA minor groove. Complexes 1-3 also exhibited good in vitro activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv, with MIC values ranging from 3.37 to 4.65 μM.

Abstract
A series of nine copper complexes were synthesized by reacting 1,3-disubstituted thioureas with copper(II) chloride. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, ultraviolet-visible and X-ray absorption spectroscopies as well as molecular modelling. The molecular structure of complexes in the solid state consists of two thiourea ligands chelated to the Cu(II) ion through the S and deprotonated N atoms (CuN2S2). The coordination polyhedron of metal cation in powdered samples exhibits two different geometries. Pseudo-tetrahedral structure is observed for noncentrosymmetric complexes with cis-N2S2 arrangement around Cu(II). A distorted square planar geometry is characteristic for centrosymmetric compounds with trans arrangements of chelating atoms around the central ion. All complexes after dissolving in dimethyl sulfoxide adopt a centrosymmetric coordination, while after diluting this solution with water, the reorganization of atoms around the metal cation is observed, leading to the formation of a tetrahedral compounds. Initial ligands and Cu(II) complexes were evaluated for their cytotoxicity. Two complexes with 4- and 3-bromophenyl attached to the (1,7,8,9,10-pentamethyl-3,5-dioxo-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-8-en-4-yl)thiourea moiety (Cu1, Cu3) are cytotoxic against SW480 and PC3 cells (IC50 4-19 μm), and non-cytotoxic against HaCaT cells (IC50 ≥ 84 μm), being more selective than doxorubicin and cisplatin used as references. The compounds induced apoptosis in cancer cells, however, Cu3 was estimated to be highly active inducer of late apoptosis in SW480 and PC3 cells at lower toxicity against normal cells. The likely mechanism of action of complexes is correlated with decreasing release of IL-6 in cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Eight new thiosemicarbazone derivatives, 6-(1-trifluoroethoxy)pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (1), 6-(4′-fluorophenyl)pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (2), 5-chloro-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (3), 2-chloro-5-bromo-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (4), 6-(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (5), 2-chloro-5-fluor-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone, (6), 5-iodo-pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (7), and 6-(3′,5′-dichlorophenyl)pyridine-3-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (8) were synthesized, from the reaction of the corresponding pyridine-3-carbaldehyde with thiosemicarbazide. The synthesized compounds were characterized by ESI-Mass, UV-Vis, IR, and NMR (1H, 13C, 19F) spectroscopic techniques. Molar mass values and spectroscopic data are consistent with the proposed structural formulas. The molecular structure of 7 has been also confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the solid state 7 exists in the E conformation about the N2-N3 bond; 7 also presents the E conformation in solution, as evidenced by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The in vitro antitumor activity of the synthesized compounds was studied on six human tumor cell lines: H460 (lung large cell carcinoma), HuTu80 (duodenum adenocarcinoma), DU145 (prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), M-14 (amelanotic melanoma), and HT-29 (colon adenocarcinoma). Furthermore, toxicity studies in 3T3 normal cells were carried out for the prepared compounds. The results were expressed as IC50 and the selectivity index (SI) was calculated. Biological studies revealed that 1 (IC50 = 3.36 to 21.35 μM) displayed the highest antiproliferative activity, as compared to the other tested thiosemicarbazones (IC50 = 40.00 to >582.26 μM) against different types of human tumor cell lines. 1 was found to be about twice as cytotoxic (SI = 1.82) than 5-fluorouracile (5-FU) against the M14 cell line, indicating its efficiency in inhibiting the cell growth even at low concentrations. A slightly less efficient activity was shown by 1 towards the HuTu80 and MCF7 tumor cell lines, as compared to that of 5-FU. Therefore, 1 can be considered as a promising candidate to be used as a pharmacological agent, since it presents significant activity and was found to be more innocuous than the 5-FU anticancer drug against the 3T3 mouse embryo fibroblast cells.

Abstract
Methoxy and tert-butyl substituted carboxamide, carboxylic acid and hydrazone Schiff base groups have been assembled into our newly designed fluorenone based ligands and prepared coordination compounds of some first row transition metals and characterized thoroughly with spectroscopic (1H and 13C NMR, IR, GC-MS, UV-Vis), analytical, TGA and molar conductance measurements. The stoichiometry of all the metal complexes is found to be 1: 2 (M: L2) with the general formula, [M(L)2], where L is a singly deprotonated ligand and the geometry of all the metal complexes is found to be octahedral. Ligands and their metal complexes successfully cleaved the pBR322 plasmid DNA and in case of anticancer activity against MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) cell line, the synthesized compounds found to exhibit excellent activity with prominent apoptotic effect which is characterized by cell shrinkage, cell breakage and turgidity and results were compared with the standard drug cisplatin. Very significant anticancer activity was observed for compounds L1H, Cu(L1)2, Cu(L2)2, Ni(L1)2 and Ni(L2)2 with IC50 value of <10 μgmL-1. Molecular docking studies were performed to assess the bonding mode of synthesized compounds. In case of antioxidant activity study, the compounds L1H, Ni(L1)2, Ni(L2)2, Cu(L1)2 and Cu(L2)2 exhibited significant scavenging activity with good percentage when compared with remaining tested compounds.
