[PMID: 38852835 DOI: 10.1016/j.drudis.2024.104055] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Metal-based drugs hold promise as potent anticancer agents owing to their unique interactions with cellular targets. This review discusses recent advances in our understanding of the intricate molecular interactions of metal-based anticancer compounds with specific therapeutic targets in cancer cells. Advanced computational and experimental methodologies delineate the binding mechanisms, structural dynamics and functional outcomes of these interactions. In addition, the review sheds light on the precise modes of action of these drugs, their efficacy and the potential avenues for further optimization in cancer-treatment strategies and the development of targeted and effective metal-based therapies for combating various forms of cancer.

Click-Capable Phenanthriplatin Derivatives as Tools to Study Pt(II)-Induced Nucleolar Stress. ACS Chem Biol 2024; 19:875-885. [PMID: 38483263 PMCID: PMC11040607 DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.3c00607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
It is well established that oxaliplatin, one of the three Pt(II) anticancer drugs approved worldwide, and phenanthriplatin, an important preclinical monofunctional Pt(II) anticancer drug, possess a different mode of action from that of cisplatin and carboplatin, namely, the induction of nucleolar stress. The exact mechanisms that lead to Pt-induced nucleolar stress are, however, still poorly understood. As such, studies aimed at better understanding the biological targets of both oxaliplatin and phenanthriplatin are urgently needed to expand our understanding of Pt-induced nucleolar stress and guide the future design of Pt chemotherapeutics. One approach that has seen great success in the past is the use of Pt-click complexes to study the biological targets of Pt drugs. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of the first examples of click-capable phenanthriplatin complexes. Furthermore, through monitoring the relocalization of nucleolar proteins, RNA transcription levels, and DNA damage repair biomarker γH2AX, and by investigating their in vitro cytotoxicity, we show that these complexes successfully mimic the cellular responses observed for phenanthriplatin treatment in the same experiments. The click-capable phenanthriplatin derivatives described here expand the existing library of Pt-click complexes. Significantly they are suitable for studying nucleolar stress mechanisms and further elucidating the biological targets of Pt complexes.

Abstract
We report the development of the first metallo-PROTAC, specifically a Pt-PROTAC, that can effectively degrade select Pt(II)-binding proteins. The Pt-PROTAC prototype successfully degraded thioredoxin-1 and thioredoxin reductase-1 in multiple myeloma cancer cell lines. Metallo-PROTACs will have important applications in the identification of metal binding proteins and as chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
A novel platinum(II) complex 47OMESS(II) and its platinum(IV) derivative 47OMESS(IV) were synthesized and characterized. Cytotoxicity studies against mesenchymal cells (MCs) and lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231), and melanoma (A375) cancer cells demonstrated 7-20-fold superior activity for both complexes relative to cisplatin. Remarkably, 47OMESS(IV) demonstrated 17-22-fold greater selectivity toward the cancerous cells compared to the non-cancerous MCs. Western blot analysis on A549 cells showed the involvement of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. Cellular fractionation and uptake experiments in A549 cells using ICP-mass spectrometry (MS) indicated that 47OMESS(II) and 47OMESS(IV) cross the cellular membrane predominantly via active transport mechanisms. The significant improvement in selectivity that is exhibited by 47OMESS(IV) is reported for the first time for this class of complexes.

A split β-lactamase sensor for the detection of DNA modification by cisplatin and ruthenium-based chemotherapeutic drugs. J Inorg Biochem 2022; 236:111986.

Abstract
Here we present a split-enzyme sensor approach for the sequence-specific detection of metal-based drug adducts of DNA. Split β-lactamase reporters were constructed using domain A of the High Mobility Group Box 1 protein (HMGB1a) in conjunction with zinc finger DNA-binding domains. As a proof of concept, the sensors were characterized with the well-known drug cisplatin, which forms 1,2-intrastrand crosslinks with DNA that are recognized by HMGB1a. After promising results with cisplatin, five ruthenium-based drugs were studied, four of which produced significant signal over background. These results highlight the utility of our approach for rapid screening of novel metal-based chemotherapeutic drug candidates and provide evidence that HMGB1a likely binds to DNA adducts formed by NAMI-A (imidazolium trans-tetrachlorodimethylsulfoxideimidazoleruthenate(III)), KP1019 (indazolium trans-tetrachlorodiindazoleruthenate(III)), KP418 (imidazolium trans-tetrachlorodiimidazoleruthenate(III)), and RAPTA-C (dichloro(η6-p-cymene)(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane)ruthenium(II)). These results thus imply a potential biologically relevant mode of action for the ruthenium-based drugs investigated herein.

Abstract
CuAAC (Cu catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition) click-reaction is a simple and powerful method for the post-synthetic modification of organometallic complexes of transition metals. This approach allows the selective introduction of additional donor sites or functional groups to the periphery of the ligand environment. This is especially important if a metalloligand with free donor sites, which are of the same nature as the primary site for the coordination of the primary metal, has to be created. The concept of post-synthetic modification of organometallic complexes by click-reaction is relatively recent and the currently available experimental material does not yet allow us to identify trends and formulate recommendations to address specific problems. In the present study, we have applied the CuAAC reaction for the post-synthetic modification of diimine mononuclear complexes Re(I), Pt(II) and Ir(III) with C≡C bonds at the periphery of the ligand environment and demonstrated that click-chemistry is a powerful tool for the tunable chemical post-synthetic modification of coordination compounds.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin, a platinum compound in broad clinical use, can induce cell death through a nucleolar stress pathway rather than the canonical DNA damage response studied for other Pt(II) compounds. Previous work has found that the oxaliplatin 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) ring but not the oxalate leaving group is important to the ability to induce nucleolar stress. Here we study the influence of DACH ring substituents at the 4-position on the ability of DACH-Pt(II) compounds to cause nucleolar stress. We determine that DACH-Pt(II) compounds with 4-position methyl, ethyl, or propyl substituents induce nucleolar stress, but DACH-Pt(II) compounds with 4-isopropyl substituents do not induce nucleolar stress. This effect is independent of whether the substituent is in the axial or equatorial position relatively to the trans diamines of the ligand. These results suggest that spatially sensitive interactions could be involved in the ability of platinum compounds to cause nucleolar stress.

Abstract
Background: Current in vitro vascular models are too simple compared with the real vascular environment. In this research, a novel in vitro 3D vascular disease model that simulated the vascular microenvironment was introduced. Methods: This model was mainly established by low shear stress and co-culture of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells. Characterization and reproduction of the pathological state of the 3D model were determined. The effect of two clinical drugs was verified in this model. The difference of drug screening between a traditional oxidative-damaged cell model and this 3D model was determined by HPLC. Results: This model presented many disease markers of vascular diseases: abnormal cellular shape, higher endothelial cell apoptotic rate and smooth muscle cell migration rate, decreased superoxide dismutase level, and increased malondialdehyde and platelet-derived growth factor level. The drugs effectively reduced the disease indices and relieved the damage caused by low shear stress. Compared to the traditional oxidative-damaged cell model, this 3D model screened different active components of Salviae Miltiorrhizae extract, and it is closer to clinical studies. Conclusions: These results suggest that the 3D vascular disease model is a more efficient and selective in vitro study and drug screening platform for vascular diseases than previously reported in vitro vascular disease models.

Abstract
Platinum(II) complexes are the most commonly used anticancer drugs and potential optical materials, but the detectability of Pt(II) complex-based probes is seldom reported. In our previous work, a tetradentate Pt(II) complex Pt-CHO was utilised as a 'turn-off' probe to detect ClO- and image cancer cells. However, the recognition mechanism has not been completely clarified and there are still doubts. In this work, three Pt(II) complexes, Pt-H, Pt-CHO and Pt-COOH, were developed to elucidate the mechanism of this class of complexes and refine their property studies. As a result, the UV-visible absorption and luminescence emission experiments, as well as the mass spectrum, proved that the oxidation of Pt(II) to Pt(IV) was the real reason for luminescence quenching, which has nothing to do with aldehyde groups. This first reported mechanism introduces a new type of ClO- probe based on Pt(II) complexes, thereby expanding the application fields of platinum complexes. Moreover, the quantum yield measurements, the effect of biomolecules and reversibility were studied to improve the properties of the probes. Theoretical calculations were used to gain an in-depth understanding of optical characteristics and related mechanisms. The cell imaging of RAW264.7 cells under endogenous ClO- proved the potential of the probes in bioimaging.

Abstract
To study the DNA damage caused by a potent platinum-acridine anticancer agent (PA) in cancer cells, an assay based on biorthogonal post-labeling using a click chemistry-enabled, azide-modified derivative (APA) was developed. The method involves biotinylation, affinity capture, and bead-based enrichment of APA-modified genomic DNA. The key steps of the assay were validated and optimized in model duplexes, including full-length plasmids, restriction fragments, and a DNA ladder. Native DNA treated with APA and subsequently subjected to post-labeling with a biotin affinity tag was enzymatically digested and fragments were analyzed by in-line LC-MS and MS/MS. The monofunctional-intercalative adducts formed by APA in 5´-pyrimidine/guanine sequences in double-stranded DNA are quantitatively biotinylated by strain-promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition chemistry. When applied to DNA extracted from A549 lung cancer cells, the assay in combination with qPCR amplification demonstrates that platinum-acridines form adducts in the gene sequences encoding pre-ribosomal RNA, a potential pharmacological target of these agents.

Abstract
Three near-infrared (NIR-I) optical theranostic systems were synthesized, characterized and studied in vitro and in vivo. These original homo-bimetallic gold(I)-based aza-BODIPY complexes proved to be trackable through near-infrared optical imaging in cells and in mice. They display anti-proliferative properties in micromolar range against human and murine cancer cell lines (4T1, MDA-MB-231, CT26, and SW480). Moreover, the injection of the most promising theranostic agent in CT26 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice induced a significant anti-cancer activity.

Abstract
A series of new dinuclear platinum(ii) complexes with the general formula [Pt2(μ-HL)4] (1-4), where H2L is 4-[(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-benzylidene)-amino]-3-R-1,2,4-triazole-5-thione: R = H (1), methyl (2), ethyl (3) and propyl (4), were synthesized and characterized. The X-ray crystal structures of 2, 3 and 4 reveal that the two platinum atoms form a paddlewheel core with four chelating triazole ligands as bridges, revealing a radically different structure than those of the traditional anticancer platinum(ii) complexes. These complexes show higher in vitro antiproliferative activity against human liver hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) than human lung cancer (A549) and human normal hepatocyte (HL-7702) cell lines. In particular, 3 exhibits antiproliferative activity (IC50 = 5.5 μM) against HepG2 cells comparable to that of cisplatin. Different from the traditional anticancer platinum(ii) complexes with high DNA affinity, 3 binds very weakly to DNA. Upon comparison, it exhibits potent inhibiting activity against protein tyrosine phosphatases 1B (PTP1B, IC50 = 16 μM) through possible binding to its active sites and its binding constant is 5.28 × 104 M-1. The results suggest that the antiproliferative mechanism of 3 against HepG2 cells may be different from that of cisplatin.

Abstract
In this perspective, we discuss iron-complexes as drug candidates that are promising alternatives to conventional platinum-based chemotherapies owing to their broad range of reactivities and to the targeting of different biological systems. Breakthroughs in the comprehension of iron complexes' structure-activity relationship contributed to the clarification of their metabolization pathways, sub-cellular localization and influence on iron homeostasis, while enlightening the primary molecular targets of theses likely multi-target metallodrugs. Both the antiproliferative activity and elevated safety index observed among the family of iron complexes showed encouraging results as per their therapeutic potential and selectivity also with the aim of reducing chemotherapy side-effects, and facilitated more pre-clinical investigations. The purpose of this perspective is to summarize the recent advances that contributed in unveiling the intricate relationships between the structural modifications on iron-complexes and their reactivity, cellular trafficking and global mechanisms of action to broaden their use as anticancer drugs and advance to clinical evaluation.

Abstract
Platinum(II) compounds are a critical class of chemotherapeutic agents. Recent studies have highlighted the ability of a subset of Pt(II) compounds, including oxaliplatin but not cisplatin, to induce cytotoxicity via nucleolar stress rather than a canonical DNA damage response. In this study, influential properties of Pt(II) compounds were investigated using redistribution of nucleophosmin (NPM1) as a marker of nucleolar stress. NPM1 assays were coupled to calculated and measured properties such as compound size and hydrophobicity. The oxalate leaving group of oxaliplatin is not required for NPM1 redistribution. Interestingly, although changes in diaminocyclohexane (DACH) ligand ring size and aromaticity can be tolerated, ring orientation appears important for stress induction. The specificity of ligand requirements provides insight into the striking ability of only certain Pt(II) compounds to activate nucleolar processes.

Abstract
Platinum drugs (cisplatin, oxaliplatin, and carboplatin) and arsenic trioxide are the only commercial inorganic non-radioactive anticancer drugs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Numerous efforts are underway to take advantage of the synergy between the anticancer activity of cisplatin and arsenic trioxide - two drugs with strikingly different mechanisms of action. These include co-encapsulation of the two drugs in novel nanoscale delivery systems as well as the development of small molecule agents that combine the activity of these two inorganic materials. Several of these new molecular entities containing Pt-As bonds have broad anticancer activity, are robust in physiological buffer solutions, and form stable complexes with biopolymers. This review summarizes results from a number of preclinical studies involving the combination of cisplatin and As2O3, co-encapsulation and nanoformulation efforts, and the chemistry and cytotoxicity of the first member of platinum anticancer agents with an arsenous acid moiety bound to the platinum(II) center: arsenoplatins.

Monofunctional platinum(II) compounds and nucleolar stress: is phenanthriplatin unique? J Biol Inorg Chem 2019; 24:899-908.

Abstract
Platinum anticancer therapeutics are widely used in a variety of chemotherapy regimens. Recent work has revealed that the cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin and phenanthriplatin is through induction of ribosome biogenesis stress pathways, differentiating them from cisplatin and other compounds that mainly work through DNA damage response mechanisms. To probe the structure-activity relationships in phenanthriplatin's ability to cause nucleolar stress, a series of monofunctional platinum(II) compounds differing in ring number, size and orientation was tested by nucleophosmin (NPM1) relocalization assays using A549 cells. Phenanthriplatin was found to be unique among these compounds in inducing NPM1 relocalization. To decipher underlying reasons, computational predictions of steric bulk, platinum(II) compound surface length and hydrophobicity were performed for all compounds. Of the monofunctional platinum(II) compounds tested, phenanthriplatin has the highest calculated hydrophobicity and volume but does not exhibit the largest distance from platinum(II) to the surface. Thus, spatial orientation and/or hydrophobicity caused by the presence of a third aromatic ring may be significant factors in the ability of phenanthriplatin to cause nucleolar stress.
