Abstract
Cancer is most frequently treated with antineoplastic agents (ANAs) that are hazardous to patients undergoing chemotherapy and the healthcare workers who handle ANAs in the course of their duties. All aspects related to hazardous oncological drugs illustrate that the monitoring of ANAs is essential to minimize the risks associated with these drugs. Among all analytical techniques used to test ANAs, electrochemistry holds an important position. This review, for the first time, comprehensively describes the progress done in electrochemistry of ANAs by means of a variety of bare or modified (bio)sensors over the last four decades (in the period of 1982-2021). Attention is paid not only to the development of electrochemical sensing protocols of ANAs in various biological, environmental, and pharmaceutical matrices but also to achievements of electrochemical techniques in the examination of the interactions of ANAs with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), carcinogenic cells, biomimetic membranes, peptides, and enzymes. Other aspects, including the enantiopurity studies, differentiation between single-stranded and double-stranded DNA without using any label or tag, studies on ANAs degradation, and their pharmacokinetics, by means of electrochemical techniques are also commented. Finally, concluding remarks that underline the existence of a significant niche for the basic electrochemical research that should be filled in the future are presented.

Abstract
In this study, electrochemical and theoretical studies were performed to explain the interaction mechanism between ponatinib (PNT), a third generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and dsDNA. The electrochemical part was conducted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at physiological pH of 7.4 and in acetate buffer with a pH of 4.7, using square wave voltammetry. A boron-doped diamond electrode was used in a bulk-incubated solution. The theoretical part was investigated using computational methods, such as the semiempirical method PM7 and density functional theory (DFT). Significant differences in the electrochemical behavior of PNT in the presence of DNA confirmed the occurrence of interactions. The results obtained in the acetate buffer strongly suggested the preferential interaction of PNT with guanine residues. However, at physiological pH, it can be concluded that PNT interacts with dGua and dAdo in the dsDNA molecule. These results are consistent with outcomes from the theoretical studies, where quantum-chemical calculations showed that both electrochemically detectable nucleobases form hydrogen bonds with the drug. These bonds appeared to be stronger with guanine than with adenine. According to the computational studies, the dsDNA major groove is the energetically preferred site for the complexation of PNT.

Caffeine improves the cytotoxic effect of dacarbazine on B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Bioorg Chem 2021; 120:105576.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Caffeine has been studied as a potentiating agent in chemotherapy against some types of cancer, but there are few reports on its effects on melanoma. This study aimed to investigate caffeine's ability to enhance the effects of dacarbazine in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Murine melanoma B16F10 cells were treated 24 h with 1-40 µM caffeine. We evaluated cytotoxicity, DNA damage, apoptosis, and oxidative lesion induced by dacarbazine associated with caffeine. The metabolization of these drugs, as well as immunocytochemical labeling, were also evaluated. CONCLUSIONS The pre-treatment with caffeine showed to be more effective. Caffeine potentiated dacarbazine-induced cytotoxic effects by increasing dacarbazine biotransformation, apoptosis, DNA damage, and malondialdehyde levels; also, caffeine reduced Ki67 and ERK1/2 nuclear labeling and increased p53 labeling in B16F10 cells. In our experiment, caffeine promoted modifications associated with dacarbazine metabolism by viable cells potentiating this antineoplastic drug. These promising results should be further evaluated in experimental models in vivo.

Abstract
Oxidative stress role on metformin process of dacarbazine (DTIC) inducing resistance of B16F10 melanoma murine cells are investigated. To induce resistance to DTIC, murine melanoma cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of dacarabazine (DTIC-res group). Metformin was administered before and during the induction of resistance to DTIC (MET-DTIC). The oxidative stress parameters of the DTIC-res group showed increased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), thiol, and reduced nuclear p53, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-DG), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-ĸB), and Nrf2. In presence of metformin in the resistant induction process to DTIC, (MET-DTIC) cells had increased antioxidant thiols, MDA, nuclear p53, 8-OH-DG, Nrf2, and reducing NF-ĸB, weakening the DTIC-resistant phenotype. The exclusive administration of metformin (MET group) also induced the cellular resistance to DTIC. The MET group presented high levels of total thiols, MDA, and reduced percentage of nuclear p53. It also presented reduced nuclear 8-OH-DG, NF-ĸB, and Nrf2 when compared with the control. Oxidative stress and the studied biomarkers seem to be part of the alterations evidenced in DTIC-resistant B16F10 cells. In addition, metformin administration is able to play a dual role according to the experimental protocol, preventing or inducing a DTIC-resistant phenotype. These findings should help future research with the aim of investigating DTIC resistance in melanoma.

Abstract
Dacarbazine (DAC) 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazenyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide is an imidazole-carboxamide derivative that is structurally related to purines. DAC belongs to the triazene compounds, which are a group of alkylating agents with antitumor and mutagenic properties. DAC is a non-cell cycle specific drug, active in all phases of the cellular cycle. In the frame of this work the 3d metal complexes (cobalt and copper) with dacarbazine were synthesized. Their spectroscopic properties by the use of FT-IR, FT-Raman, and 1HNMR were studied. The structures of dacarbazine and its complexes with copper(II) and cobalt(II) were calculated using DFT methods. The effect of metals on the electronic charge distribution of dacarbazine was discussed on the basis of calculated NBO atomic charges. The reactivity of metal complexes in relation to ligand alone was estimated on the basis of calculated energy of HOMO and LUMO orbitals. The aromaticity of the imidazole ring in dacarbazine and the complexes were compared (on the basis of calculated geometric indices of aromaticity). Thermal stability of the investigated 3d-metal complexes with dacarbazine and the products of their thermal decomposition were analyzed.

Abstract
An electrochemical DNA biosensor was designed for the detection of a specific target DNA after hybridization with a complementary DNA probe immobilized onto a glassy carbon electrode surface. Quercetin was successfully used as a new electroactive indicator for the hybridization detection. Different interactions of quercetin with single-stranded DNA (ss-DNA) and double-stranded DNA (ds-DNA) led to different electrochemical signals, which were recorded as cyclic and differential pulse voltammograms enabling hybridization detection. Various parameters influencing the biosensor performance were evaluated, and optimized conditions were obtained. Also, the detection limit of 83 pM with a relative standard deviation of 4.6% was obtained for the determination of complementary oligonucleotides. Then, the developed biosensor was applied successively for the detection of short sequences of hepatitis C virus (HCV1). The hybridization between the probe (PHCV1) and its complementary sequence (HCV1a) as the target was studied. Some hybridization experiments with noncomplementary oligonucleotides also showed that the suggested DNA sensor responds selectively to the target.

Abstract
Cefotaxime is third generation antibiotic with known therapeutic efficacy against bacterial infections including cerebral abscesses and bacterial meningitis. The β-lactam group of drugs are considered safest antibiotics. Many antibiotics directly interact with DNA and alter their expression profile. Thus, it is necessary to understand the binding mode and its relevance to drug activity and toxicity. There is considerably a remarkable focus on deciphering the binding mechanism of these therapeutic agents as DNA is one of the major target for wide range of drugs. Cefotaxime has been extensively studied for its pharmacological properties while its binding mode to DNA has not been explicated so far. In this study, we have unveiled the binding mechanism of cefotaxime to DNA by using various biophysical, thermodynamic and in silico techniques. UV-vis spectroscopy confirmed the formation cefotaxime-DNA complex along with a brief idea about the extent of interaction. Fluorescence spectroscopy yielded the values of various binding constants and explained mode of fluorescence quenching to be static. CD spectroscopy, thermal denaturation, KI quenching and viscosity measurement explained that cefotaxime is groove binder. Measuring the effect of ions on cefotaxime-DNA complex ensured that it does not bind to DNA electrostatically. Dye displacement experiments finally confirmed that cefotaxime binds to the minor groove of DNA. ITC gave the thermodynamic profile of this binding in which negative value of Gibb's free energy change revealed that the process is spontaneous. Molecular modelling finally strengthened our experimental results that cefotaxime was located in curved contour of minor groove of DNA. The findings support on safety of drug and may have a little interference on normal biological functions.
