Antifungal activity of Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes containing 1,3-bis(benzotriazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol on the growth and virulence traits of fluconazole-resistant Candida species: synthesis, DFT calculations, and biological activity.

Abstract
Relevant virulence traits in Candida spp. are associated with dimorphic change and biofilm formation, which became an important target to reduce antifungal resistance. In this work, Co(II) complexes containing a benzotriazole derivative ligand showed a promising capacity of reducing these virulence traits. These complexes exhibited higher antifungal activities than the free ligands against all the Candida albicans and non-albicans strains tested, where compounds 2 and 4 showed minimum inhibitory concentration values between 15.62 and 125 μg mL-1. Moreover, four complexes (2-5) of Co(II) and Cu(II) with benzotriazole ligand were synthesized. These compounds were obtained as air-stable solids and characterized by melting point, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared, Raman and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy. The analysis of the characterization data allowed us to identify that all the complexes had 1:1 (M:L) stoichiometries. Additionally, Density Functional Theory calculations were carried out for 2 and 3 to propose a probable geometry of both compounds. The conformer Da of 2 was the most stable conformer according to the Energy Decomposition Analysis; while the conformers of 3 have a fluxional behavior in this analysis that did not allow us to determine the most probable conformer. These results provide an important platform for the design of new compounds with antifungal activities and the capacity to attack other target of relevance to reduce antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract
The condensation of (1H-benzimidazole-2-yl) methanamine, with 2-hydroxy naphthaldehyde lead to Schiff base ligand (H2L) (1). This was later reacted with metal salts (ZnCl2, CrCl3·6H2O, and MnCl2·4H2O) to afford the corresponding metal complexes. Biological activity findings indicate that the metal complexes have promising activity against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis and modest activity against Aspergillus niger. The in vitro anticancer activities of Zn (II), Cr (III), and Mn (II) complexes were investigated and the best results were observed with Mn (II) complex as the most potent cytotoxic agent toward human cell lines colorectal adenocarcinoma HCT 116, hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 with 0.7, 1.1 and 6.7 μg of inhibitory concentration IC50 values respectively. Consequently, the Mn (II) complex and ligand were docked inside the energetic site of ERK2 and exhibited favorable energy for binding. The investigation of biological tests towards mosquito larvae indicates that Cr (III) and Mn (II) complexes manifest strong toxicity against Aedes aegypti larvae with 3.458 and 4.764 ppm values of lethal concentration LC50, respectively.

Benzimidazole Derivatives Suppress Fusarium Wilt Disease via Interaction with ERG6 of Fusarium equiseti and Activation of the Antioxidant Defense System of Pepper Plants. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:jof9020244. [PMID: 36836358 PMCID: PMC9961032 DOI: 10.3390/jof9020244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), also known as bell pepper, is one of the most widely grown vegetable crops worldwide. It is attacked by numerous phytopathogenic fungi, such as Fusarium equiseti, the causal agent of Fusarium wilt disease. In the current study, we proposed two benzimidazole derivatives, including 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-H benzimidazole (HPBI) and its aluminum complex (Al-HPBI complex), as potential control alternatives to F. equiseti. Our findings showed that both compounds demonstrated dose-dependent antifungal activity against F. equiseti in vitro and significantly suppressed disease development in pepper plants under greenhouse conditions. According to in silico analysis, the F. equiseti genome possesses a predicted Sterol 24-C-methyltransferase (FeEGR6) protein that shares a high degree of homology with EGR6 from F. oxysporum (FoEGR6). It is worth mentioning that molecular docking analysis confirmed that both compounds can interact with FeEGR6 from F. equiseti as well as FoEGR6 from F. oxysporum. Moreover, root application of HPBI and its aluminum complex significantly enhanced the enzymatic activities of guaiacol-dependent peroxidases (POX), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and upregulated four antioxidant-related enzymes, including superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] (CaSOD-Cu), L-ascorbate peroxidase 1, cytosolic (CaAPX), glutathione reductase, chloroplastic (CaGR), and monodehydroascorbate reductase (CaMDHAR). Additionally, both benzimidazole derivatives induced the accumulation of total soluble phenolics and total soluble flavonoids. Collectively, these findings suggest that the application of HPBI and Al-HPBI complex induce both enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant defense machinery.

Abstract
As a result of the synthesis, three new solids, cobalt (II) coordination compounds with benzimidazole derivatives, and chlorides were obtained. The ligands that were used in the synthesis were specially synthesized and were commercially unavailable. During the synthesis, a single crystal of the complex with the L1 ligand was obtained and the crystal structure was refined. All coordination compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. All the obtained data allowed one to determine the formulas of the new compounds, as well as to determine the method of metal-ligand coordination. Thermal analysis allowed to know the temperature stability of the compounds, solids intermediate and final products of pyrolysis. Additionally, volatile decomposition and fragmentation products have been identified. The toxicity of the compounds and their bioavailability were determined using in silico methods. By predicting activity on cell lines, the potential use of compounds as chemotherapeutic agents has been specified. The blood-brain barrier crossing and the gastrointestinal absorption were defined. Pharmaceutical biodistribution was also simulated.

Abstract
Electrochemical-based biosensors have the potential to be a fast, label-free, simple approach to detecting the effects of cytotoxic substances in liquid media. In the work presented here, a cell-based electrochemical biosensor was developed and evaluated to detect the cytotoxic effects of Zn2+ ions in a solution as a reference test chemical. A549 cells were attached to the surface of stainless-steel electrodes. After treatment with ZnCl2, the morphological changes of the cells and, ultimately, their death and detachment from the electrode surface as cytotoxic effects were detected through changes in the electrical signal. Electrochemical cell-based impedance spectroscopy (ECIS) measurements were conducted with cytotoxicity tests and microscopic observation to investigate the behavior of the A549 cells. As expected, the Zn2+ ions caused changes in cell confluency and spreading, which were checked by light microscopy, while the cell morphology and attachment pattern were explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The ECIS measurements confirmed the ability of the biosensor to detect the effects of Zn2+ ions on A549 cells attached to the low-cost stainless-steel surfaces and its potential for use as an inexpensive detector for a broad range of chemicals and nanomaterials in their cytotoxic concentrations.

Abstract
Seven novel pyrazole derivatives (4a-g) and four novel starting compounds incorporating substituted pyridine moieties were synthesized successfully. Cell viability assay for the tested compounds was performed, and the inhibitory concentrationlogarithmic 50 (LogIC50 ) values of the compounds were calculated after a 24-h treatment. Four of the examined compounds (3d, 3g, 4f, and 4g) showed comparable cytotoxic activity against CaCo-2 compared to the standard drug docetaxel at 0.1 and 1 μM concentrations. Although the LogIC50 of docetaxel was -0.678 μM for CaCo-2 cells at 24 h, the LogIC50 values of compounds were -0.794, -0.567, -0.657, and -0.498 μM, respectively. Five of the compounds (2d, 2g, 3d, 3g, and 4e) showed comparable cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 at 0.1 μM concentration compared to docetaxel (p < 0.05). Docking studies revealed the compounds have a good affinity to the active site of the human topoisomerase II β enzyme. The antioxidant capacities of all compounds were determined using both 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and metal chelation methods. Although the compounds did not show significant antioxidant activity, relatively effective are compounds 3c, 3d, and 3g, which are hydrazine derivatives with approximately 50% antioxidant activity of standard antioxidants at concentrations of 62.5 and 125 μg/ml.

Abstract
New benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized and their structures were characterized by spectroscopic and microanalysis techniques. The cytotoxic properties of ten benzimidazole derivatives, five of which were synthesized in our previous studies, were determined against the lung cancer cell line, A549, and the healthy lung epithelial cell line, BEAS-2B. Among the ten compounds tested, based on the 72-h incubation results, compound 12 was the most cytotoxic against the A549 cell line, whereas against the BEAS-2B cell line, it was as cytotoxic as cisplatin. The IC50 values of compound 12 were 3.98 and 2.94 µg/ml for A549 and BEAS-2B cells, respectively. The cisplatin values were 6.75 and 2.75 µg/ml for A549 and BEAS-2B cells, respectively. Compounds 10, 8, 7, and 13 showed toxic effects against A549 cells, but were less toxic against BEAS-2B cells than cisplatin. The antimicrobial activity of these compounds against pathogenic bacteria and yeasts was also evaluated based on their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values. The compounds, except 12 and 13, generally showed higher antimicrobial activity against yeasts, compared with bacteria. Compound 12 showed better activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus than against Escherichia coli. Compounds 7, 8, and 11 were the most effective ones against the microorganisms, and yeasts were highly sensitive to these compounds with MIC values of 25-100 µg/ml.

Abstract
Nine novel hydrazone derivatives (4a-i) incorporating pyridine and isatin moieties were synthesized through one-pot, four-component heterocyclic condensation reactions. The structures of all new compounds (2a-e, 3a, 3c-e, and 4a-e) were identified by 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13 C NMR, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis. Cell viability assays for the tested hydrazone derivatives were performed and the log IC50 values of the compounds were calculated after a 24-h treatment. All hydrazide derivatives tested showed a promising antitumor activity against A-2780 cells as compared with the standard drug docetaxel with a log IC50 value of 0.2200 μM (p < .05). Seven of the examined compounds (4b-e, 4g-i) showed high cytotoxic activity against A-2780 cells as compared with the standard drug docetaxel. Whereas the log IC50 of docetaxel was 0.2200 μM for A-2780 cells at 24 h, the IC50 values of these compounds were -0.4987, -0.4044, -0.8138, -0.3868, -0.6954, -0.4751, and 0.1809 μM, respectively. Three of the compounds, 4b, 4d, and 4i, showed high cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells as compared with docetaxel (p < .05). Whereas the log IC50 of docetaxel was 0.2400 μM for MCF-7 cells at 24 h, the log IC50 values of compounds 4b, 4d, and 4i were -0.1293, -0.1700, and 0.2459 μM, respectively.

Abstract
The search for anticancer metal-based drugs alternative to platinum derivatives could not exclude zinc derivatives due to the importance of this metal for the correct functioning of the human body. Zinc, the second most abundant trace element in the human body, is one of the most important micro-elements essential for human physiology. Its ubiquity in thousands of proteins and enzymes is related to its chemical features, in particular its lack of redox activity and its ability to support different coordination geometries and to promote fast ligands exchange. Analogously to other trace elements, the impairment of its homeostasis can lead to various diseases and in some cases can be also related to cancer development. However, in addition to its physiological role, zinc can have beneficial therapeutic and preventive effects on infectious diseases and, compared to other metal-based drugs, Zn(II) complexes generally exert lower toxicity and offer few side effects. Zinc derivatives have been proposed as antitumor agents and, among the great number of zinc coordination complexes which have been described so far, this review focuses on the design, synthesis and biological studies of zinc complexes comprising N-donor ligands and that have been reported within the last five years.

Abstract
Aim: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive cancer with very limited clinical therapies. Herein, we have designed novel mercaptobenzimidazole derivatives (1-7) as multitarget antineoplastic drugs and assessed their antiproliferative profiles on an experimental model for GBM, the C6 glioma line. Results: The target compounds were synthesized in few steps with reasonable yields (33-90%). Compounds 1 (∼18 μM) and 4 (∼20 μM) showed dose-dependent antiproliferative effects on C6 glioma and significantly increased early apoptosis, but only 4 disrupted the cell cycle progression and did not induce autophagy. Docking simulations suggested these compounds as dual kinase and colchicine binding site inhibitors. Conclusion: In spite of the limited selective toxicity, 4 hold the potential to be further optimized for the treatment of GBM.

Abstract
The vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 signaling pathway promotes the formation of new blood vessels, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 tyrosine kinase exists in both active and inactive conformations. Novel indole–benzimidazole and indole–benzothiazole derivatives joined by different linkers are designed and synthesized as inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 tyrosine kinase. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines (HeLa, HT29, A549, and MDA-MB-435) and human umbilical vein endothelial cell. Meanwhile, the inhibitory activities against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 are estimated in vitro and the binding interactions with dual conformations of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 tyrosine kinase are evaluated by molecular docking. Compounds 5a–c and 14 show inhibitory activity against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 tyrosine kinase and promising cytotoxicity, specifically with IC50 values ranging between 0.1 and 1 μM, which imply broad-spectrum antitumor activity. These results provide a deep insight into potential structural modifications for developing potent vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
The emergence of old and new antibiotic resistance created in the last decades revealed a substantial medical need for new classes of antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial activity of sulfa drugs is often enhanced by complexation with metal ions, which is in concordance with the well-known importance of metal ions in biological systems. Besides, sulfonamides and its derivatives constitute an important class of drugs, with several types of pharmacological agents possessing antibacterial, anti-carbonic anhydrase, diuretic, hypoglycemic, antithyroid, antiviral and anticancer activities, among others. The purpose of this work has been the obtainment, characterization and determination of biological properties (antibacterial, antifungal, mutagenicity and phytotoxicity) of a new Co(III)-sulfathiazole complex: Costz, besides of its interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The reaction between sodium sulfathiazole (Nastz) and cobalt(II) chloride in the presence of H2O2 leads to a brown solid, [CoIII(stz)2OH(H2O)3], (Costz). The structure of this compound has been examined by means of elemental analyses, FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV-Visible spectrometric methods and thermal studies. The Co(III) ion, which exhibits a distorted octahedral environment, could coordinate with the N thiazolic atom of sulfathiazolate. The complex quenched partially the native fluorescence of bovine serum albumin (BSA), suggesting a specific interaction with the protein. The Costz complex showed, in vitro, a moderate antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus and A. flavus. As antibacterial, Costz displayed, in vitro, enhanced activity respective to the ligand against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Costz did not show mutagenic properties with the Ames test. In the Allium cepa test the complex showed cytotoxic properties but not genotoxic ones. These results may be auspicious, however, further biological studies are needed to consider the complex Costz as a possible drug in the future.

High cytotoxicity of vanadium(IV) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline and related ligands is due to decomposition in cell culture medium. J Biol Inorg Chem 2017; 22:663-672.

Abstract
Cytotoxic effects of Metvan (cis-[VIVO(OSO3)(Me2phen)2], where Me2phen = 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and its analogues with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligands in cultured human lung cancer (A549) cells have been re-investigated in conjunction with reactivity of the V(IV) complexes in neutral aerated aqueous solutions and in cell culture medium. All the V(IV) complexes underwent rapid oxidation to the corresponding V(V) species (cis-[VV(O)2L2]+), followed by release of free ligands (shown by electrospray mass spectrometry). Decomposition of V(IV) complexes in cell culture medium within minutes at 310 K was confirmed by UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopies. High cytotoxicities (low μM or sub-μM IC50 range in 72 h assays) were observed for the phen and Me2phen complexes, but they were not different from that of the corresponding free ligands, which confirmed that the original V(IV) complexes played no significant role in the observed biological activities. The cytotoxicities of the ligands were most likely due to their complexation of redox-active essential metal ions, such as Cu(II) and Fe(II), in the medium, and their increased cellular uptake, leading to oxidative stress-related cell death. These results emphasize the need to assess the stability of metal-based drugs under the conditions of biological assays, particularly when biologically active ligands, such as 1,10-phenanthroline and its derivatives, are used. These ligands have high systemic toxicities in vivo and their release in the GI tract and blood makes the complexes unsuitable for use as anti-cancer drugs.
