Abstract
Chemotherapy resistance is an insurmountable problem in clinical anticancer therapy. Although Oxaliplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC), it still suffers from serious toxicities as well as drug resistance. In this work, three Oxaliplatin tetravalent platinum prodrugs(O1-O3) and three novel mixed ammine/amine analogs(C1-C3) were constructed, introducing cannabidiol with anti-tumor activity in their axial position. All Pt(IV) prodrugs exhibited potent antitumor effects in a variety of tumor cell lines, especially in HCT-116 cells, where complex O3 showed strong inhibitory effects with the half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) value of 6.02 ± 0.69 μM and about 2.6 times higher than that of Oxaliplatin. Further studies revealed that complex O3 decreased cellular mitochondrial membrane potential in a concentration-dependent manner and enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation by decreasing the expression of catalase, superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3). Complex O3 induces mitochondrial dysfunction and upregulates the pro-apoptotic protein Noxa, ultimately leading to severe DNA damage. The upregulation of Phosphorylated histone protein H2AX (γ-H2AX) expression is clear evidence. In addition, O3 inhibits the expression of RAD51 protein and prevents DNA damage repair, thus overcoming drug resistance. This strategy of combining bioactive molecules cannabidiol with platinum drugs to improve therapeutic efficacy and overcome drug resistance has been proven to be very effective and deserves further investigation.

Abstract
The anticancer properties of well-defined molecules serve to bolster the field of metals in medicine. Such compounds, particularly those of platinum and their closely related structural analogs, continue to be potentially highly interesting to researchers and clinicians alike. The four octahedral organoplatinum(IV) compounds [Pt(CH3)2X2{bipy-R 2 }] (X = Br, I; bipy-R 2 = 2,2'-bipyridine, 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) have been isolated and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopic data are also tabulated as useful reference values. The anticancer potential of each compound was assessed via in vitro MTT assays, using human breast cancer cells (cell line ZR-75-1). EC50 values were determined as 11.5 μM for Pt(CH3)2Br2{bipy}; 3020 μM, for Pt(CH3)2Br2{bipy-(CO 2 H) 2 }; 6.1 μM, for Pt(CH3)2I2{bipy}; and 86.0 μM, for Pt(CH3)2I2{bipy-(CO 2 H) 2 }; for comparison, the EC50 value for cisplatin against the ZR-75-1 cells was 16.4 μM. The most cytotoxic of the four compounds Pt(CH3)2I2{bipy} undergoes reaction with glutathione in a THF/water mixture at 68°C very slowly.

Abstract
This article describes the synthesis, characterization, and biological activity of novel square-planar cationic platinum(II) complexes containing glucoconjugated triazole ligands and a comparison with the results obtained from the corresponding five-coordinate complexes bearing the same triazole ligands. Stability in solution, reactivity with DNA and small molecules of the new compounds were evaluated by NMR, fluorescence, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, together with their cytotoxic action against pairs of immortalized and tumorigenic cell lines. The results show that the square-planar species exhibit greater stability than the corresponding five-coordinate ones. Furthermore, although the square-planar complexes are less cytotoxic than the latter ones, they exhibit a certain selectivity. These results simultaneously demonstrate that overall stability is a fundamental prerequisite for preserving the performance of the agents and that coordinative saturation constitutes a point in favor of their biological action.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) drugs, including cisplatin, are widely used for the treatment of solid tumors. Despite the clinical success, side effects and occurrence of resistance represent major limitations to the use of clinically available Pt drugs. To overcome these problems, a variety of derivatives have been designed and synthetized. Here, we summarize the recent progress in the development of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes with bioactive ligands. The development of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes with targeting molecules, clinically available agents, and other bioactive molecules is an active field of research. Even if none of the reported Pt derivatives has been yet approved for clinical use, many of these compounds exhibit promising anticancer activities with an improved pharmacological profile. Thus, planning hybrid compounds can be considered as a promising approach to improve the available Pt-based anticancer agents and to obtain new molecular tools to deepen the knowledge of cancer progression and drug resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
Osmium(IV) pyrazole compounds and ligands were synthesized and well characterised. Ligands were characterized by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy (1H & 13C), elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and liquid crystal mass spectroscopy. Os(IV) complexes were characterized by ESI-MS, ICP-OES, IR spectroscopy, conductance measurements, magnetic measurements and electronic spectroscopy. Binding of compounds with HS-DNA were evaluated using viscosity measurements, absorption titration, fluorescence quenching, and molecular docking, which show effective intercalation mode exhibited by compounds. Binding constant of Os(IV) complexes are found to be 8.1 to 9.2 × 104 M-1. Bacteriostatic and cytotoxic activities were carried out to evaluate MIC, LC50, and IC50. The compounds have been undergone bacteriostatic screening using three sets of Gram+ve and two sets of Gram-ve bacteria. MIC of complexes are found to be 72.5-100 μM, whereas that of ligands fall at about 122.5-150 μM.. LC50 count of ligands fall in the range of 16.22-17.28 μg/mL whereas that of complexes of Os(IV) fall in the range of 4.87-5.87 μg/mL. IC50 of osmium compounds were evaluated using HCT-116 cell line. All the Os(IV) compounds show moderate IC50.
