Abstract
Inflammatory mediators constitute a recently coined term in the field of metal-based complexes with antiplatelet activities. Our strategy targets Platelet-Activating Factor (PAF) and its receptor, which is the most potent lipid mediator of inflammation. Thus, the antiplatelet (anti-PAF) potency of any substance could be exerted by inhibiting the PAF-induced aggregation in washed rabbit platelets (WRPs), which internationally is a well-accepted methodology. Herein, a series of mononuclear (mer-[Cr(pqx)Cl3(H2O]) (1), [Co(pqx)Cl2(DMF)] (2) (DMF = N,N'-dimethyl formamide), [Cu(pqx)Cl2(DMSO)] (3) (DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide), [Zn(pqx)Cl2] (4)) and dinuclear complexes ([Mn(pqx)(H2O)2Cl2]2 (5), [Fe(pqx)Cl2]2 (6) and [Ni(pqx)Cl2]2 (7)) incorporating the 2-(2'-pyridyl)quinoxaline ligand (pqx), were biologically evaluated as inhibitors of the PAF- and thrombin-induced aggregation in washed rabbit platelets (WRPs). The molecular structure of the five-co-ordinate analog (3) has been elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealing a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. All complexes are potent inhibitors of the PAF-induced aggregation in WRPs in the micromolar range. Complex (6) displayed a remarkable in vitro dual inhibition against PAF and thrombin, with IC50 values of 1.79 μM and 0.46 μM, respectively. Within the series, complex (5) was less effective (IC50 = 39 μM) while complex (1) was almost 12-fold more potent against PAF, as opposed to thrombin-induced aggregation. The biological behavior of complexes 1, 6 and 7 on PAF's basic metabolic enzymatic pathways reveals that they affect key biosynthetic and catabolic enzymes of PAF underlying the anti-inflammatory properties of the relevant complexes. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of all complexes in HEK293T (human embryonic kidney cells) and HeLa cells (cervical cancer cells) are described via the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The results reveal that complex 3 is the most potent within the series.

Abstract
Organometallic rhodium(III) complexes with curcuminoid ligands attracted considerable attention in biological-related fields and the variation of curcuminoid ligands may regulate the biological activity of these organometallic rhodium(III) complexes. To deeply evaluate the biological influences of these complexes, the binding interactions between three rhodium(III) complexes with curcuminoid ligands and human serum albumin (HSA) were comparably investigated by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. The results suggested that the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA was quenched by three complexes through static fluorescence quenching mode. Three complexes bonded with Sudlow's site I of HSA to form ground-state compounds under the binding forces of van der Waals interactions, hydrogen bonds formation, and protonation. Finally, the native conformational structure and the thermal stability of HSA were all changed. Space steric hindrance of complexes took part in the differences of the fluorescence quenching processes, and the chemical polarity of the complexes played a vital role in the variations of the structure and biological activity of HSA. These results illustrated the molecular interactions between protein and organometallic rhodium(III) complexes with curcuminoid ligands, offering new insight about the prospective applications of analogical rhodium(III) complexes in biomedicine areas.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization on four rhodium(II) complexes with the formula [Rh2(CH3COO)2(AMUH)2(dcda)2](CH3COO)2(1),[Rh2(CH3COO)2(AEUH)2(dcda)2](CH3COO)2(2),[Rh2(CH3COO)2(APrnUH)2(dcda)2](CH3COO)2(3),[Rh2(CH3COO)2(ABnUH)2(dcda)2](CH3COO)2(4), where AMUH = 1-amidino-O-methylurea, AEUH = 1-amidino-O-ethylurea, APrnUH = 1-amidino-O-n-propylurea, ABnUH = 1-amidino-O-n-butylurea, dcda = dicyandiamide are reported. The complexes were prepared by the reaction of dicyandiamide with rhodium(II) acetate in methanol (1), ethanol (2), n-propanol (3) and n-butanol (4) respectively and characterized by various techniques such as C, H, N analysis, FTIR, UV-Visible, EPR, conductance, SEM, EDX, powder XRD pattern and mass spectral studies. The interaction studies of the complexes with CT-DNA suggested the non-intercalative mode of binding for these complexes. The antimicrobial activity of the complexes against the tested microorganisms viz. Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, using the standard antibiotics streptomycin as positive control is also reported.

Abstract
The crystal structures of bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phen-yl]rhodium(III) complexes with the metal in an octahedral coordination containing chloride and aceto-nitrile ligands, namely (OC-6-42)-aceto-nitrile-chlorido-bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ(2) N,C (1)]rhodium(III), [RhCl(C11H8N)2(CH3CN)] (1), thyminate(1-) and methanol, namely (OC-6-42)-methanol(5-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-pyrimidin-1-ido-κN (1))bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ(2) N,C (1)]rhodium(III), [Rh(C11H8N)2(C5H5N2O2)(CH3OH)]·CH3OH·0.5H2O (2), and thy-min-ate(1-) and ethanol, namely (OC-6-42)-ethanol(5-methyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-pyrimidin-1-ido-κN (1))bis[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ(2) N,C (1)]rhodium(III), [Rh(C11H8N)2(C5H5N2O2)(C2H5OH)]·C2H5OH (3), are reported. The aceto-nitrile complex, 1, is isostructural with the Ir(III) analog. In complexes 2 and 3, the monodeprotonated thyminate (Hthym(-)) ligand coordinates to the Rh(III) atom through the N atom, and the resulting Rh-N(Hthym) bond lengths are relatively long [2.261 (2) and 2.252 (2) Å for 2 and 3, respectively] as compared to the Rh-N bonds in the related thyminate complexes. In each of the crystals of 2 and 3, the complexes are linked via a pair of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between neighbouring Hthym(-) ligands, forming an inversion dimer. A strong intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond between the thyminate(1-) and alcohol ligands in mutually cis positions to each other is also observed.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme is an extremely aggressive and invasive form of central nervous system tumor commonly treated with the chemotherapeutic drug Temozolomide. Unfortunately, even with treatment, the median survival time is less than 12 months. 2,9-Di-sec-butyl-1,10-phenanthroline (SBP), a phenanthroline-based ligand originally developed to deliver gold-based anticancer drugs, has recently been shown to have significant antitumor activity in its own right. SBP is hypothesized to initiate tumor cell death via interaction with non-DNA targets, and considering most glioblastoma drugs kill tumors through DNA damage processes, SBP was tested as a potential novel drug candidate against glial-based tumors. In vitro studies demonstrated that SBP significantly inhibited the growth of rodent GL-26 and C6 glioma cells, as well as human U-87, and SW1088 glioblastomas/astrocytomas. Furthermore, using a syngeneic glioma model in mice, in vivo administration of SBP significantly reduced tumor volume and increased survival time. There was no significant toxicity toward nontumorigenic primary murine and human astrocytes in vitro, and limited toxicity was observed in ex vivo tissues obtained from noncancerous mice. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling staining and recovery assays suggest that SBP induces apoptosis in gliomas. This exploratory study suggests SBP is effective in slowing the growth of tumorigenic cells in the brain while exhibiting limited toxicity to normal cells and tissues and should therefore be further investigated for its potential in glioblastoma treatment.

Abstract
The discovery of cisplatin as a therapeutic agent stimulated a new era in the application of transition metal complexes for therapeutic design. Here we describe recent results on a variety of transition metal complexes targeted to DNA to illustrate many of the issues involved in new therapeutic design. We describe first structural studies of complexes bound covalently and non-covalently to DNA to identify potential lesions within the cell. We then review the biological fates of these complexes, illustrating the key elements in obtaining potent activity, the importance of uptake and subcellular localization of the complexes, as well as the techniques used to delineate these characteristics. Genomic DNA provides a challenging but valuable target for new transition metal-based therapeutics.

Abstract
With the purpose of evaluating the ability of Pd(II) complex to interact with DNA molecule as the main biological target, two new complexes [Pd(bpy)(OH(2))(2)] (1) and [Pd(Phenpip)(OH(2))(2)] (2), where (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine; Phenpip=1-phenylpiperazine), have been synthesized and the binding properties of these complexes with CT-DNA were investigated. The intrinsic binding constants (K(b)) calculated from UV-Vis absorption studies were 3.78×10(3) M(-1) and 4.14×10(3)M(-1) for complexes 1 and 2 respectively. Thermal denaturation has been systematically studied by spectrophotometric method and the calculated ΔT(m) was nearly 5 °C for each complex. All the results suggest an electrostatic and/or groove binding mode for the interaction between the complexes and CT-DNA. The redox behavior of the two complexes in the absence and in the presence of calf thymus DNA has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The cyclic voltammogram exhibits one quasi-reversible redox wave. The change in E(1/2), ΔE(p) and I(pc)/I(pa) supports that the two complexes exhibit strong binding to calf thymus DNA. Further insight into the binding of complexes with CT-DNA has been made by gel electrophoresis, where the binding of complexes is confirmed through decreasing the intensity of DNA bands. The two complexes have been screened for their antimicrobial activities using the disc diffusion method against some selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The activity data showed that both complexes were more active against Gram-negative than Gram-positive bacteria. It may be concluded that the antimicrobial activity of the compounds is related to cell wall structure of bacteria.

Abstract
A new nano dimensional heterobimetallic Cu-Sn containing complex as a potential drug candidate was designed, synthesized and characterized by analytical and spectral methods. The electronic absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance parameters of the complex revealed that the Cu(II) ion exhibits a square pyramidal geometry with the two pyrazole nitrogen atoms, the amine nitrogen atom and the carboxylate oxygen of the phenyl glycine chloride ligand located at the equatorial sites and the coordinated chloride ion occupying an apical position. (119)Sn NMR spectral data showed a hexa-coordinated environment around the Sn(IV) metal ion. TEM, AFM and XRD measurements illustrate that the complex could induce the condensation of CT-DNA to a particulate nanostructure. The interaction of the Cu-Sn complex with CT-DNA was investigated by UV-vis absorption and emission spectroscopy, as well as cyclic voltammetric measurements. The results indicated that the complex interacts with DNA through an electrostatic mode of binding with an intrinsic binding constant K(b) = 8.42 x 10(4) M( - 1). The Cu-Sn complex exhibits effective cleavage of pBR322 plasmid DNA by an oxidative cleavage mechanism, monitored at different concentrations both in the absence and in the presence of reducing agents.
