Insights into the transformation of VO 2+ motif to VO 3+, V 2O 34+ and VO 2+ motifs and their interconversion along with a detailed mechanistic study of their anti-cancer activity in SiHa cervical cancer cells. J Inorg Biochem 2022; 234:111900. [PMID: 35717882 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2022.111900] [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: 01/09/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The basic criteria for the formation of complexes with VO3+, V2O34+ and VO2+ motifs from the VO2+ motif and their interconversion were explored utilizing two multidentate O,N-donor hydrazone ligands namely, E-2-Hydroxy-N'-(4-oxopentan-2-ylidine)benzohydrazide (H3L1) and E-2-Hydroxy-N'-(4-oxo-4-phenylbutan-2-ylidine)benzohydrazide (H3L2), derived from the condensation of 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazide with acetylacetone and benzoylacetone respectively. Under aerobic condition, the possibility of forming complexes with different motifs in different solvents with varying pH was examined theoretically by computational methods with results that were verified experimentally. This study reveals that under aerobic condition, complexes with VO3+ (1,2) and V2O34+ (3, 4) motifs were formed in protic CH3OH and neutral CHCl3 solvent respectively while the formation of complexes (5-14) with VO2+ motif required protic CH3OH solvent and higher pH (≥ 7). Interconversion of VO3+, V2O34+ and VO2+ motifs are associated with specific acid-base equilibria, substantiated by 51V NMR titrations. Complexes containing these three motifs exhibited promising in vitro anticancer activity in SiHa cervical cancer cells without affecting healthy cells; among them complexes (5-14) with VO2+ motif are more potent. A detailed systematic mechanistic study was carried out, utilizing the two most potent complexes 5 and 6 (IC50 = 13, 6 μM respectively), which indicates that cytotoxicity and anti-proliferative activity of these complexes are manifested through oxidative stress induced apoptotic pathways (caspase mediated).

Abstract
Coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2) is a global epidemic. This pandemic, which has been linked to high rates of death, has forced some countries throughout the world to implement complete lockdowns in order to contain the spread of infection. Because of the advent of new coronavirus variants, it is critical to find effective treatments and vaccines to prevent the virus's rapid spread over the world. In this regard, metal complexes have attained immense interest as antibody modifiers and antiviral therapies, and they have a lot of promise towards SARS-CoV-2 and their suggested mechanisms of action are discussed, i.e., a new series of metal complexes' medicinal vital role in treatment of specific proteins or SARS-CoV-2 are described. The structures of the obtained metal complexes were fully elucidated by different analytical and spectroscopic techniques also. Molecular docking and pharmacophore studies presented that most of complexes studied influenced good binding affinity to the main protease SARS-CoV-2, which also was attained as from the RCSB pdb (Protein Data Bank) data PDB ID: 6 W41, to expect the action of metal complexes in contradiction of COVID-19. Experimental research is required to determine the pharmacokinetics of most of the complexes analyzed for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2-related disease. Finally, the toxicity of a metal-containing inorganic complex will thus be discussed by its capability to transfer metals which may bind with targeted site.

Abstract
Vanadium (V) is an ultra-trace element presenting in humans and animals, but excessive V can cause toxic effects. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an essential process for maintaining mitochondrial functions, but the relationship between V toxicity and MQC is unclear. To investigate the effects of excessive V on oxidative stress and MQC in duck hearts, 72 ducks were randomly divided into two groups, including the control group and the V group (30 mg of V/kg dry matter). The cardiac tissues were collected for the histomorphology observation and oxidative stress status evaluation at 22 and 44 days. In addition, the mRNA and protein levels of MQC-related factors were also analyzed. The results showed that excessive V could trigger vacuolar degeneration, granular degeneration, as well as mitochondrial vacuolization and swelling in myocardial cells. In addition, CAT activity was elevated in two time points, while T-SOD activity was increased in 22 days but decreased in 44 days after V treatment. Meanwhile, excessive V intake could also increase the number of Drp1 puncta, the mRNA levels of mitochondrial fission–related factors (Drp1and MFF), and protein (MFF) level, but decrease the number of Parkin puncta and the mitochondrial biogenesis (PGC-1α, NRF-1, and TFAM), mitochondrial fusion (OPA1, Mfn1, and Mfn2), and mitophagy (Parkin, PINK1, P62, and LC3B) related mRNA levels and protein (PGC-1α, Mfn1, Mfn2, PINK1) levels. Collectively, our results suggested that excessive V could induce oxidative stress and MQC disorder in the heart of ducks.

Abstract
Novel vitamin E chelate siderophore derivatives and their VV and FeIII complexes have been synthesised and the chemical and biological properties have been evaluated. In particular, the α- and δ-tocopherol derivatives with bis-methyldroxylamino triazine (α-tocTHMA) and (δ-tocDPA) as well their VV complexes, [V2VO3(α-tocTHMA)2] and [V2IVO3(δ-tocTHMA)2], have been synthesised and characterised by infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and ultra violet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopies. The dimeric vanadium complexes in solution are in equilibrium with their respefrctive monomers, H2O + [V2VO2(μ-O)]4+ = 2 [VVO(OH)]2+. The two amphiphilic vanadium complexes exhibit enhanced hydrolytic stability. EPR shows that the complexes in lipophilic matrix are mild radical initiators. Evaluation of their biological activity shows that the compounds do not exhibit any significant cytotoxicity to cells.

Abstract
We are still facing a Covid-19 pandemic these days and after the aggressively infection control measures taken by the governments in the whole world, there is a need of a rapid pharmaceutical solution in order to control this crisis. The computer aided chemistry and molecular docking is a rapid tool for drug screening and investigation. Moreover, more metal-based drugs are tested daily by research institutes for their antiviral activity. Here, we make use of theoretical studies on previously published biological active complex molecules of vanadium as an example of evaluating possible drug candidates before entering the laboratory. We used DFT calculation studies for structural elucidation and optimization of the molecules and molecular docking studies on several Covid-19 related proteins. Our findings suggest that drug discovery should always be computer -aided. Additionally, it is found that Vtocdea and VXn molecules are seem to be good candidates for further studies as antiviral agents.
