Abstract
Natural drug functionalised silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) have gained significant interest in pharmacology related applications due to their therapeutic efficiency. We have synthesised silver nanoparticle using hesperetin as a reducing and capping agent. This work aims to discuss the relevance of the hesperetin functionalised silver nanoparticles (H-AgNPs) in the field of nano-medicine. The article primarily investigates the anticancer activity of H-AgNPs and then their interactions with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) through spectroscopic and thermodynamic techniques. The green synthesised H-AgNPs are stable, spherical in shape and size of 10 ± 3 nm average diameter. The complex formation of H-AgNPs with ctDNA was established by UV-Visible absorption, fluorescent dye displacement assay, isothermal calorimetry and viscosity measurements. The binding constants obtained from these experiments were consistently in the order of 104 Mol-1. The melting temperature analysis and FTIR measurements confirmed that the structural alterations of ctDNA by the presence of H-AgNPs are minimal. All the thermodynamic variables and the endothermic binding nature were acquired from ITC experiments. All these experimental outcomes reveal the formation of H-AgNPs-ctDNA complex, and the results consistently verify the minor groove binding mode of H-AgNPs. The binding constant and limit of detection of 1.8 μM found from the interaction studies imply the DNA detection efficiency of H-AgNPs. The cytotoxicity of H-AgNPs against A549 and L929 cell lines were determined by in vitro MTT cell viability assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. The cell viability and LDH enzyme release are confirmed that the H-AgNPs has high anticancer activity. Moreover, the calculated LD50 value for H-AgNPs against lung cancer cells is 118.49 µl/ml, which is a low value comparing with the value for fibroblast cells (269.35 µl/ml). In short, the results of in vitro cytotoxicity assays revealed that the synthesised nanoparticles can be considered in applications related to cancer treatments. Also, we have found that, H-AgNPs is a minor groove binder, and having high DNA detection efficiency.

Abstract
Ag(I) coordination compounds have recently attracted much attention as antiproliferative and antibacterial agents against a wide range of cancer cell lines and pathogens. The bioactivity potential of these complexes depends on their structural characteristics and the nature of their ligands. Herein, we present a series of four Ag(I) coordination compounds bearing as ligands the CH3-substituted thiadiazole-based thioamide 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (mtdztH) and phosphines, i.e., [AgCl(mtdztH)(PPh3)2] (1), [Ag(mtdzt)(PPh3)3] (2), [AgCl(mtdztH)(xantphos)] (3), and [AgmtdztH)(dppe)(NO3)]n (4), where xantphos = 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene and dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, and the assessment of their in vitro antibacterial and anti-cancer efficiency. Among them, diphosphine-containing compounds 3 and 4 were found to exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity characteristics against both Gram-(+) and Gram-(-) bacterial strains, showing high in vitro bioactivity with IC50 values as low as 4.6 μΜ. In vitro cytotoxicity studies against human ovarian, pancreatic, lung, and prostate cancer cell lines revealed the strong cytotoxic potential of 2 and 4, with IC50 values in the range of 3.1-24.0 μΜ, while 3 and 4 maintained the normal fibroblast cells' viability at relatively higher levels. Assessment of these results, in combination with those obtained for analogous Ag(I) complexes bearing similar heterocyclic thioamides, suggest the pivotal role of the substituent groups of the thioamide heterocyclic ring in the antibacterial and anti-cancer efficacy of the respective Ag(I) complexes. Compounds 1-4 exhibited moderate in vitro antioxidant capacity for free radicals scavenging, as well as reasonably strong ability to interact with calf-thymus DNA, suggesting the likely implication of these properties in their bioactivity mechanisms. Complementary insights into the possible mechanism of their anti-cancer activity were provided by molecular docking calculations, exploring their ability to bind to the overexpressed fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), affecting cancer cells' functionalities.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the study of Ag(I) coordination compounds as potent antibacterial and anticancer agents. Herein, a series of Ag(I) complexes bearing phosphines and heterocyclic thioamide ligands with highly electronegative NH2- and CF3-group substituents, i.e. [AgCl(atdztH)(xantphos)] (1), [Ag(μ-atdztH)(DPEphos)]2(NO3)2 (2), [Ag(atdzt)(PPh3)3] (3), [Ag(μ-atdzt)(DPEphos)]2 (4), and [Ag(μ-mtft)(DPEphos)]2 (5), where atdztH = 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, mtftH = 4-methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4-triazol-3-thiol, xantphos = 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene, and DPEphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphino-phenyl)ether, were synthesized, and their in vitro antibacterial and anticancer properties were evaluated. Complexes 1-4 bearing the NH2-substituted thioamide exhibited moderate-to-high activity against S. aureus, B. subtilis, B. cereus and E. coli bacterial strains. A high antiproliferative activity was also observed for 1-3 against SKOV-3, Hup-T3, DMS114 and PC3 cancer cell lines (IC50 = 4.0-11.7 μM), as well as some degree of selectivity against MRC-5 normal cells. Interestingly, 5 bearing the CF3-substituted thioamide is completely inactive in all bioactivity studies. Binding of 1-3 to drug-carrier proteins BSA and HSA is reasonably strong for their uptake and subsequent release to possible target sites. The three complexes show a significant in vitro antioxidant ability for scavenging free radicals, suggesting likely implication of this property in the mechanism of their bioactivity, but a low potential to destroy the double-strand structure of CT-DNA by intercalation. Complementary insights into possible bioactivity mechanisms were provided by molecular docking calculations, exploring the ability of complexes to bind to bacterial DNA gyrase, and to the overexpressed in the aforementioned cancer cells Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1, affecting their functionalities.

Abstract
1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), having high-quality biological activity and great yield-increasing potential in agricultural production, is a broad-spectrum plant growth regulator. Although NAA is of low toxicity, it can affect the balance of the human metabolism and damage the body if it is used in high quantity for a long time. In this study, the interaction of NAA with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was investigated under simulated human physiological acidity (pH 7.4) using fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible absorption, and circular dichroism spectroscopy combined with viscosity measurements and molecular simulation techniques. The quenching of the endogenous fluorescence of NAA by ctDNA, observed in the fluorescence spectrum experiment, was a mixed quenching process that mainly resulted from the formation of the NAA-ctDNA complex. NAA mainly interacted with ctDNA through hydrophobic interaction, and the binding constant and quenching constant at room temperature (298 K) were 0.60 × 105 L mol-1 and 1.58 × 104 L mol-1, respectively. Moreover, the intercalation mode between NAA and ctDNA was verified in the analysis of melting point, KI measurements, and the viscosity of ctDNA. The results were confirmed by molecular simulation, and it showed that NAA was enriched near the C-G base of ctDNA. As shown in circular dichroism spectra, the positive peak intensity of ctDNA intensified along with a certain degree of redshift, while the negative peak intensity decreased after binding with NAA, suggesting that the binding of NAA induced the transformation of the secondary structure of ctDNA from B-form to A-form. These researches will help to understand the hazards of NAA to the human body more comprehensively and concretely, to better guide the use of NAA in industry and agriculture.

Abstract
In this paper, the asymmetric-Schiff base 2-(4-(2-hydroxybenzylideneamino)benzylideneamino)benzoic acid (SB-2) was newly synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic methods. The interaction of SB-2 with calf thymus DNA was investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking methods. It was determined that SB-2 effectively binds to DNA via the intercalation mode. DNA electrophoretic mobility experiments displayed that topoisomerase IIα could not cleave pBR322 plasmid DNA in the presence of SB-2, confirming that the Schiff base acts as a topo II suppressor. In the molecular docking studies, SB-2 was found to show an affinity for both the DNA-topoisomerase IIα complex and the DNA. In vitro antiproliferative activity of SB-2 was screened against HT-29 (colorectal) and HeLa (cervical) human tumor cell lines by MTT assay. SB-2 diminished the cell viability in a concentration- and incubation time-dependent manner. The ability of SB-2 to measure DNA damage in tumor cells was evaluated with cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay after incubation 24 h and 48 h. Light and scanning electron microscopy experiments of tumor cells demonstrated an incubation time-dependent increase in the proportion of apoptotic cells (nuclear condensation and apoptotic bodies) suggesting that autophagy and apoptosis play a role in the death of cells. Based on the obtained results, it may be considered that SB-2 is a candidate for DNA-targeting antitumor drug.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
A series of heteroleptic Ag(I) complexes bearing 4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinethiol (dmp2SH), i.e., [AgCl(dmp2SH)(PPh3)2] (1), [Ag(dmp2SH)(PPh3)2]NO3 (2), [Ag(dmp2SΗ)(xantphos)]NO3 (3), [Ag(μ-dmp2S)(PPh3)]2 (4), [Ag(dmp2S)(xantphos)] (5), [Ag(μ-dmp2S)(DPEphos)]2 (6) (xantphos = 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene and DPEPhos = bis[(2-diphenylphosphino)phenyl]ether) were synthesized. The complexes display systematic variation of particular structural characteristics which were proved to have a significant impact on their in vitro cytotoxicity and antimicrobial properties. A moderate-to-high potential for bacteria growth inhibition was observed for all complexes, with 2, 3 and 5 being particularly effective against Gram-(+) bacteria (IC50 = 1.6-4.5 μM). The three complexes exhibit high in vitro cytotoxicity against HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cells (IC50 = 0.32-3.00 μΜ), suggesting the importance of coordination unsaturation and cationic charge for effective bioactivity. A very low cytotoxicity against HDFa normal cells was observed, revealing a high degree of selectivity (selectivity index ~10) and, hence, biocompatibility. Fluorescence microscopy using 2 showed effective targeting on the membrane of the HeLa cancer cells, subsequently inducing cell death. Binding of the complexes to serum albumin proteins is reasonably strong for potential uptake and subsequent release to target sites. A moderate in vitro antioxidant capacity for free radicals scavenging was observed and a low potential to destroy the double-strand structure of calf-thymus DNA by intercalation, suggesting likely implication of these properties in the bioactivity mechanisms of these complexes. Further insight into possible mechanisms of bioactivity was obtained by molecular modeling calculations, by exploring their ability to act as potential inhibitors of DNA-gyrase, human estrogen receptor alpha, human cyclin-dependent kinase 6, and human papillomavirus E6 oncoprotein.

Abstract
A series of Fe(II) complexes (1-4) and Fe(III) complexes (5-8) from Fe(II)/(III) chloride and N-(8-quinolyl)-X-salicylaldimine Schiff base ligands (Hqsal-X2/X: X = Br, Cl) were successfully synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (FT-IR, 1H-NMR), mass spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and single crystal X-ray crystallographic techniques. The interaction of complexes 1-8 with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was determined by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The complexes exhibited good DNA-binding activity via intercalation. The molecular docking between a selected complex and DNA was also investigated. The in vitro anticancer activity of the Schiff base ligands and their complexes were screened against the A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cell line. The complexes showed anticancer activity toward A549 cancer cells while the free ligands and iron chloride salts showed no inhibitory effects at 100 µM. In this series, complex [Fe(qsal-Cl2)2]Cl 6 showed the highest anticancer activity aginst A549 cells (IC50 = 10 µM). This is better than two well-known anticancer agents (Etoposide and Cisplatin). Furthermore, the possible mechanism for complexes 1-8 penetrating A549 cells through intracellular ROS generation was investigated. The complexes containing dihalogen substituents 1, 2, 5, and 6 can increase ROS in A549 cells, leading to DNA or macromolecular damage and cell-death induction.

Abstract
Herein we report on the synthesis and molecular structures of six silver(I) mixed-ligand complexes containing a heterocyclic thioamide [4-phenyl-imidazole-2-thione (phimtH) or 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-imidazolidine-4-thione (tmimdtH)] and a tertiary arylphosphane [triphenylphosphine (PPh3), tri-o-tolylphosphane (totp)] or diphosphane [(1,2-bis(diphenylphosphano)ethane (dppe), bis(2-diphenylphosphano-phenyl)ether (DPEphos) or 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphano)-9,9-dimethylxanthene) (xantphos)]. The interaction of the compounds with calf-thymus DNA (CT DNA), as monitored directly via UV-vis spectroscopy and DNA-viscosity measurements and indirectly via its competition with ethidium bromide for DNA-intercalation sites, is suggested to take place via an intercalative mode. The new complexes show selective significant in vitro antibacterial activity against four bacterial strains. The antiproliferative effects and cytostatic efficacies of the complexes against four human cancer cell lines were evaluated. The best cytostatic and cytotoxic activity was appeared for the complexes bearing the phimtH moiety. In order to explain the described in vitro activity of the complexes, and to approach a possible mechanism of action, molecular docking studies were adopted on the crystal structure of CT DNA, DNA-gyrase, human estrogen receptor alpha and a cell-cycle specific target protein, human cyclin-dependent kinase 6.

Abstract
Abstract
A heteroleptic silver(I) complex of bis(diphenylphosphano)methane (DPPM) and thiourea (tu) with the formula [Ag2(DPPM)2(tu)3](NO3)2 · 2H2O (1) was prepared and characterized by infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13C, and 31P) spectroscopic methods, and X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure determination has shown that the complex (1) is dinuclear having each silver(I) ion coordinated by two phosphorus atoms of DPPM molecules and two sulfur atoms of tu ligands adopting a distorted tetrahedral environment. The two silver atoms are bridged by one of the three tu molecules. The other two tu ligands are coordinated in a terminal mode; one with each silver(I) ion. The dinuclear units are associated to each other through hydrogen bonding interactions to form a three-dimensional network in the solid state. Complex 1 showed significant activity against two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and molds (Aspergillus niger, Penicillium citrinum), while the activities were poor towards yeasts (Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

Abstract
The reaction of 2-methyl-thio-5-amino-1,3,4-thia-diazole (Me-SNTD; C3H5N3S2) with copper(II) acetate monohydrate [Cu(OAc)2·H2O; C4H8CuO5] resulted in the formation of the title binuclear compound, [Cu2(C2H3O2)4(C3H5N3S2)2] or [Cu2(OAc)4(Me-SNTD)2]. The structure has triclinic (P ) symmetry with a crystallographic inversion centre located at the midpoint of the line connecting the Cu atoms in the dimer. These two Cu atoms of the dimer [Cu⋯Cu = 2.6727 (6) Å] are held together by four carboxyl-ate groups. Each Cu atom is further coordinated to the N atom of an Me-SNTD mol-ecule and exhibits a Jahn-Teller-distorted octa-hedral geometry. The dimers are connected into infinite chains by hydrogen bonds between the NH (Me-SNTD) and the carboxyl-ate groups of neighbouring mol-ecules, generating an R 2 2(12) ring motif. The mol-ecules are further linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions between the thia-diazole rings and the methyl groups of the acetate units.
