Abstract
2-acetylpyridine-4-chloropyridine-2‑carbonyl hydrazone (C13H11ClN4O, HL) and its three water-soluble tetranuclear complexes [Cu4(NO3)2(L)4]·(NO3)2 (1), [Co4(NO3)2(H2O)(C2H5OH)(L)4]·(NO3)2 (2) and [Zn4(NO3)2(H2O)(C2H5OH)(L)4]·(NO3)2 (3) were synthesized and characterized showing that 1-3 were all tetranuclear complexes. The interactions of HL, 1-3 with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were explored using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) titration, fluorescence spectroscopy, microcalorimetry and molecular docking techniques. The UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements showed that complexes 1-3 could strongly bind to CT-DNA by the intercalation mode, while HL interacted with CT-DNA through groove binding. From the fluorescence spectroscopy results, the interaction between HL, 1-3 and BSA was a static quenching procedure, in which complexes 1-3 had two binding sites near Trp residues of BSA while HL only had one. The microcalorimetric studies revealed that the interactions of HL and 1-3 to CT-DNA/BSA were all endothermic and the duration of each interaction was all less than 30 min. The in silico molecular docking illustrated intermolecular interactions of 1-3 binding with DNA/BSA included hydrogen bond, halogen bond, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay indicated that complex 1 possessed better cytotoxicity against HeLa, A549, MCF7 and HCT-116 than cisplatin and could be used as an alternative anticancer drug.

Unravelling the role of [Ru(bpy) 2(OH 2) 2] 2+ complexes in photo-activated chemotherapy. J Inorg Biochem 2022; 235:111930.

Abstract
Photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) has emerged as a promising strategy to selectively target cancer cells by using light irradiation to generate cytotoxic complexes in situ through a mechanism involving ligand-loss. Due to their rich optical properties and excited state chemistry, Ru polypyridyl complexes have attracted significant attention for PACT. However, studying PACT is complicated by the fact that many of these Ru complexes can also undergo excited-state electron transfer to generate 1O2 species. In order to deconvolute the biological roles of possible photo-decomposition products without the added complication of excited-state electron transfer chemistry, we have developed a methodology to systematically investigate each product individually, and assess the structure-function relationship. Here, we synthesized a series of eight distinct Ru polypyridyl complexes: Ru-Xa ([Ru(NN)3]2+), Ru-Xb ([Ru(NN)2py2]2+), and Ru-Xc ([Ru(NN)(OH2)2]2+) where NN = 2,2'-bipyridine, 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine, or dimethyl 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylate and py = pyridine. The cytotoxicity of these complexes was investigated in two cell lines amenable to PACT: H23 (breast cancer) and T47D (lung cancer). We confirmed that light irradiation of Ru-Xa and Ru-Xb complexes generate Ru-Xc complexes through UV-visible spectroscopy, and observed that the Ru-Xc complexes are the most toxic against the cancer cell lines. In addition, we have shown that ligand release and biological activity including bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding, lipophilicity, and DNA interaction are altered when different groups are appended to the bipyridine ligands. We believe that the methodology presented here will enhance the development of more potent and selective PACT agents moving forward.

Abstract
Textile dyeing wastewater becomes one of the root causes of environmental pollution. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the photocatalysts that shows prominent organic dye photodegradation ability. In this study, a porous tungsten oxide (WO3)/TiO2 composite was prepared through ultrasonic-assisted solvothermal technique with varying amounts of WO3 ranging from 0.25 to 5 weight % (wt.%). The prepared 0.50 wt.% WO3/TiO2 (0.50WTi) composite exhibited the highest photodegradation activity (4.39 × 10-2 min-1) and complete mineralization in chemical oxygen demand (COD) reading towards 30 mg.L-1 of Reactive Black 5 (RB5) dye under 60 min of light irradiation. Effects of large surface area, small crystallite size, high pore volume and size, and low electron-hole pair recombination rate attributed to the superiority of 0.50WTi. Besides, 0.50WTi could be reused, showing 86.50% of RB5 photodegradation at the fifth cycle. Scavenger study demonstrated that photogenerated hole (h+) was the main active species of 0.50WTi to initiate the RB5 photodegradation. Cytotoxicity assessment determined the readings of half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) were 1 mg.mL-1 and 0.61 mg.mL-1 (24 and 72 h of incubations) for the 0.50WTi composite.

Abstract
The present work describes the calculation of the binding constants from spectrofluorimetric data using simple graphical methods and specialized software implementing the maximum likelihood approach. The following popular cases are analyzed: 1) protein-small molecule; 2) protein-metal complex; 3) DNA-small molecule; 4) DNA-metal complex interactions. The inability of graphical plots to return the correct results except for the simplest situation (single reaction with a non-fluorescent product) is demonstrated. The possibility of determining the most probable stoichiometric model using the maximum likelihood estimation (LSQ as its special case) is discussed as well as the limitations.

Abstract
Protein binding heavily modulates drug activity. Therefore, the binding features need to be elucidated when chemistry researchers study new molecules (metal complexes) to be used as drugs. This paper concerns the experimental and data treatment aspects of the mechanistic analysis of the binding to a fluorescent protein (the golden standard serum albumin) by using direct fluorescence titrations. Fluorescence data are not rarely only qualitatively used, neglecting further treatments which could offer a precious detailed picture of the behavior of the drug. We aim to spread a mechanistic approach, discussing the critical aspects for correctly designing the experiments and treating the data. The researcher may confirm adduct formation and evaluate binding constants (Stern-Volmer KSV or other types of K). Also, we discuss here, with the help of literature examples, the correct use of temperature dependence of K to extract thermodynamic parameters, comment on enthalpy-entropy compensation, together with the use of synchronous spectra and exchange experiments to gain information on the binding type and site. We think that this tutorial/critical synopsis can be of help for the increasing community dealing with these experiments, which are valuable but often much more tricky than it might appear at first sight.
