Abstract
The current article reports the investigation of three new Ni(II) complexes with ONS-donor dithiocarbazate ligands: [Ni(L1)PPh3] (1), [Ni(L2)PPh3] (2), and [Ni(L2)Py] (3). Single-crystal X-ray analyses revealed mononuclear complexes with a distorted square planar geometry and the metal centers coordinated with a doubly deprotonated dithiocarbazate ligand and coligand pyridine or triphenylphosphine. The non-covalent interactions were investigated by the Hirshfeld surface and the results revealed that the strongest interactions were π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions and non-classical hydrogen bonds C-H···H and C-H···N. Physicochemical and spectroscopic methods indicate the same structures in the solid state and solution. The toxicity effects of the free ligands and Ni(II) complexes were tested on the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and non-malignant breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values, indicating that the compounds were potent in inhibiting cell growth, were obtained for both cell lines at three distinct time points. While inhibitory effects were evident in both malignant and non-malignant cells, all three complexes demonstrated lower IC50 values for malignant breast cell lines than their non-malignant counterparts, suggesting a stronger impact on cancerous cell lines. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were performed showing the complex (2) as a promising candidate for further therapeutic exploration.

[PMID: 36968279 PMCID: PMC10034969 DOI: 10.3389/fmolb.2023.1146820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023] Open
Abstract
In the search for new metal complexes with antitumor potential, two dithiocarbazate ligands derived from 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,4-pentanedione (H2L1) and (H2L2) and four Ni(II) complexes, [Ni(L1)PPh3] (1), [Ni(L1)Py] (2), [Ni(L2)PPh3] (3), and [Ni(L2)Py] (4), were successfully synthesized and investigated by physical-chemistry and spectroscopic methods. The crystal structure of the H2L1 and the Ni(II) complexes has been elucidated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The obtained structure from H2L1 confirms the cyclization reaction and formation of the pyrazoline derivative. The results showed square planar geometry to the metal centers, in which dithiocarbazates coordinated by the ONS donor system and a triphenylphosphine or pyridine molecule complete the coordination sphere. Hirshfeld surface analysis by dnorm function was investigated and showed π–π stacking interactions upon the molecular packing of H2L1 and non-classical hydrogen bonds for all compounds. Fingerprint plots showed the main interactions attributed to H⋅H C⋅H, O⋅H, Br⋅H, and F⋅H, with contacts contributing between 1.9% and 38.2%. The mass spectrometry data indicated the presence of molecular ions [M + H]+ and characteristic fragmentations of the compounds, which indicated the same behavior of the compounds in solution and solid state. Molecular docking simulations were studied to evaluate the properties and interactions of the free dithiocarbazates and their Ni(II) complexes with selected proteins and DNA. These results were supported by in vitro cytotoxicity assays against four cancer cell lines, showing that the synthesized metal complexes display promising biological activity.

Abstract
The present work reports the synthesis and investigation by semi-empirical Density Functional Theory (DFT), physical chemistry, and spectroscopic methods of two dithiocarbazates, 2-acetylpyridine-S-p-bromobenzyl-dithiocarbazate (HL1) and 2-acetylpyridine-S-p-nitrobenzyl-dithiocarbazate (HL2) and their Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(L1)Cl] (1), [Cu(L1)Br] (2), [Cu(L2)Cl] (3) and [Cu(L2)Br] (4). Single crystal X-ray analyzes showed distorted square planar geometry to the metal centers, which tridentate ligands coordinated by the NNS system and an additional halogen (Cl- or Br-) to complete the coordination sphere. Mass spectrometry data indicated the presence of [Cu(L1)(DMF)]+ and [Cu(L2)(DMF)]+, due to the exchanging of chloride/bromide ions and characteristic fragmentations of the compounds. The DFT composite method B97-3c was employed to optimize the geometries of ligands and complexes and IR spectra were calculated revealing good agreement with experimental data. Hydrogen bonds and π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions upon the molecular packing were investigated by Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots with the main interactions attributed to the H⋅⋅⋅H contacts. The biological activity of the dithiocarbazates and their Cu(II) complexes were evaluated in vitro against the human glioma U251 cells. Results revealed that the free dithiocarbazates present great in vitro antitumor activity that is increased after the complexation with copper. The measurement of cytotoxicity of the compounds showed biological activity in a low range of concentration, which indicates high efficiency as potential drugs.

Abstract
Association thermodynamic parameters are important because they give information about the nature of ion-ion interaction in solution, the dielectric constant of the medium and the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the solvent molecules. The different association thermodynamic parameters for nano copper(ii) nitrate hemi pentahydrate in the presence of 4,6-diacetylresorcinol and 4,6-bis(1-hydrazonoethyl)benzene-1,3-diol as ligands were calculated. Conductance measurements were used in different concentrations of binary mixed solvents (DMF and water) at different temperatures, 293.15, 303.15, 313.15 and 323.15 K. A comparison between association thermodynamic parameter data such as association constants (K A), degree of dissociation (α), free energies of association (ΔG A), enthalpies of association (ΔH A) and entropies of association (ΔS A) in the case of using the two ligands was done. Different calculated thermodynamic parameters indicate that the association is more favorable with 4,6-diacetylresorcinol as a ligand than 4,6-bis(1-hydrazonoethyl)benzene-1,3-diol due to the large size of 6-bis(1-hydrazonoethyl)benzene-1,3-diol.

Abstract
The present work reports the synthesis and a structural study of two novel dithiocarbazate, the 4,6-diacetylresorcinol-S-benzyldithiocarbazate (H3L1) and the 4,6-diacetylresorcinol-bis(S-benzyldithiocarbazate) (H4L2), and their Ni(II) complexes, [Ni(HL1)(Py)] (1) and [Ni2(L2)(PPh3)2] (2). Single crystal X-ray analyzes reveal mono and binuclear complexes and the metal centers with distorted square planar geometry. The analyses of the Hirshfeld surface and fingerprints plots revealed intermolecular contacts attributed to the H···H and C···H/H···C bonds. The Density Functional Theory (DFT), with the B3LYP functional and 6-311-G(d,p)/LanL2DZ basis sets, was employed to optimize the geometries of synthesized compounds. From the resulting geometries, the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital maps (HOMO-LUMO), orbital energy gap, electron localization function (ELF), electron density, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis, and complexation of the ligands with Ni(II) were calculated supporting the experimental data. The ESI (+)-MS/MS data indicated the presence in solution of the characteristic fragmentation with the [H3L1]+ and [H4L2]+ molecular ions for the ligands. The pharmacological potential of the dithiocarbazate ligands and their Ni(II) complexes were evaluated in vitro against MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. A remarkable cytotoxic activity was observed, more evident for free ligands than complexes at low concentrations; however, this latter showed a better dose-response pattern, being more attractive in terms of pharmacokinetics and therapeutic window.
