Abstract
Metal ions carry out a wide variety of functions, including acid-base/redox catalysis, structural functions, signaling, and electron transport. Understanding the interactions of transition metal complexes with biomacromolecules is essential for biology, medicinal chemistry, and the production of synthetic metalloenzymes. After the coincidental discovery of cisplatin, importance of the metal complexes in biochemistry became a top priority for inquiry. In this review, a decade update on various synthetic strategies to first row transition metal complex and their interaction with DNA through non-covalent binding are explored. Moreover, this effort provides an excellent analysis on the efficacy of theoretical and practical approaches to the systematic generation of new non-platinum based metallodrugs for anti-cancer therapeutics.

Research Progress on the Biological Activities of Metal Complexes Bearing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrazones. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27238393. [PMID: 36500482 PMCID: PMC9739244 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27238393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Revised: 11/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Due to the abundant and promising biological activities of aromatic hydrazones, it is of great significance to study the biological activities of their metal complexes for the research and development of metal-based drugs. In this review, we focus on the metal complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrazones, which still do not receive much attention, and summarize the studies related to their biological activities. Although the large number of metal complexes in phenylhydrazone prevent them all from being summarized, the significant value of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons themselves (such as naphthalene and anthracene) as pharmacophores are also considered. Therefore, the bioactivities of the metal complexes of naphthylhydrazone and anthrahydrazone are focused on, and the recent research progress on the metal complexes of anthrahydrazone by the authors is also included. In terms of biological activities, these complexes mainly show antibacterial and anticancer activities, along with less bioactivities. The present review demonstrates that the structural design and bioactivities of these complexes are fundamental, which also indicates a certain structure-activity relationship (SAR) in some substructural areas. However, a systematic and comprehensive conclusion of the SAR is still not available, which suggests that more attention should be paid to the bioactivities of the metal complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrazones since their potential in structural design and biological activity remains to be explored. We hope that this review will attract more researchers to devote their interest and energy into this promising area.

Abstract
Metal-fluoroquinolones have more antibacterial and cytotoxic effects compared to free fluoroquinolones. In this work, a bidentated Mn (II) complex with ofloxacin (MOC) was synthesized and its cytotoxicity activity, oxidative stress and DNA binding were studied. Anti- proliferative and cytotoxic tests revealed that MOC exhibits better anti proliferative and cytotoxic activities compared to OFL which was attributed to the more interaction of MOC with DNA. Therefore, the interaction of MOC with DNA was investigated by using voltammetry, UV-Vis, fluorescence, and in silico methods. The results revealed that MOC interacts with DNA via electrostatic and outside hydrogen binding via minor groove. The proposed DNA binding modes may support the greater in-vitro cytotoxicity of MOC compared to OFL alone.

Abstract
Three new 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde-thiosemicarbazones-N-4-substituted pro-ligands and their Cu(II) complexes (1, -NH2; 2, -NHMe; 3, -NHEt) have been prepared and characterized. In both the X-ray structures of 1 and 3, two crystallographically independent complex molecules were found that differ either in the nature of weakly metal-binding species (water in 1a and nitrate in 1b) or in the co-ligand (water in 3a and methanol in 3b). Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) measurements carried out on complexes 1 and 3 confirmed the presence of such different species in the solution. The electrochemical behavior of the pro-ligands and of the complexes was investigated, as well as their biological activity. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibited a high cytotoxicity against human tumor cells and 3D spheroids derived from solid tumors, related to the high cellular uptake. Complexes 2 and 3 also showed a high selectivity towards cancerous cell lines with respect to non-cancerous cell lines and were able to circumvent cisplatin resistance. Via the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging technique, preliminary insights into the biological activity of copper complexes were obtained.

Abstract
Discovering that metals are essential for the structure and function of biomolecules has given a completely new perspective on the role of metal ions in living organisms. Nowadays, the design and synthesis of new metal-based compounds, as well as metal ion binding components, for the treatment of human diseases is one of the main aims of bioinorganic chemistry. One of the areas in vanadium-based compound research is their potential anticancer activity. In this review, we summarize recent molecular and cellular mechanisms in the cytotoxic activity of many different synthetic vanadium complexes as well as inorganic salts. Such mechanisms shall include DNA binding, oxidative stress, cell cycle regulation and programed cell death. We focus mainly on cellular studies involving many type of cancer cell lines trying to highlight some new significant advances.

Abstract
2,2'-Dihydroxybenzophenone-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazone and 3-methoxy-salicylaldehyde were reacted in the presence of oxovanadium(IV) or nickel(II) ions to yield the N2O2-type-chelate complex. The synthesized complexes were characterized by employing elemental analysis, electronic and infrared spectra, 1H NMR spectra, magnetic measurements, and thermogravimetric analyses. The expected structures of oxovanadium(IV) and nickel(II) complexes were confirmed by using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The presence of π-π stacked dimeric structures provided stronger crystalline formations. The optimized geometries and vibrational frequencies of the compounds were obtained using the DFT/ωB97XD method with the 6-31G (d,p) basis set and compared with the experimental data. The electrochemical characterization of the oxovanadium(IV) and nickel(II) complexes were carried out by using the cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. The oxovanadium(IV) complex gives a ligand-centered oxidation and a metal-centered one electron reduction and oxidation peaks corresponding to the VIV/IIIO and VIV/VO, respectively. The nickel(II) complex gives a ligand-centered oxidation and metal-centered (NiII/I) reduction peaks in a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution. The redox potentials were calculated in terms of Gibbs free energy change of the redox reaction at the theory level of M06-L/LANL2DZ/PCM. In addition, the energy gap, HOMO and LUMO distributions were calculated. The total antioxidant capacities of the compounds were determined by using cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) method, in which the oxovanadium(IV) complex was found to be powerful as an antioxidant agent.

Abstract
Two new oxovanadium(iv) compounds containing 1,10-bathophenanthroline (Bphen) and amino Schiff base derivatives [VO(hnd-napha)(Bphen)] (1) and [VO(o-van-met)(Bphen)] (2) were synthesised (where hnd-napha and o-van-met are N-Schiff bases derived from the reaction of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with 3-(1-naphthyl)-l-alanine and o-vanillin with l-methionine, respectively). These compounds were characterised by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). Both compounds showed low molar conductance values, indicating that they are non-electrolytes. The XRD results showed that the VIV atoms in both compounds existed in the VO3N3 coordination geometry with Schiff base and Bphen ligands. The in vitro anticancer activities of compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated against A549 human lung carcinoma and HepG2 human hepatoma cell lines using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, and the results revealed that both compounds were cytotoxic with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values in the range of 8.22 ± 1.0 to 94.89 ± 3.2 μmol L−1. Notably, compound 2 exhibited much better anticancer activity in vitro against A549 cells (8.22 ± 1 μmol L−1) than [VO(acac)2] (24 ± 6 μmol L−1) or any of our previously reported oxovanadium(iv) compounds, making it comparable in activity to cisplatin (3.1 ± 0.5 μmol L−1). These results therefore suggest that compound 2 could be used as a promising lead for the development of anticancer agents for the treatment of lung cancer.
