Opačak S, Kovač MP, Landais C, Debeljak Ž, Golding TM, Smith GS, Brozovic A, Kirin SI. Dissimilar effect of organometallic ruthenium complexes on the viability of MDR and non-MDR experimental models. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 257:112614. [PMID: 38781850 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
Ruthenium complexes containing triphenylphosphine diamide ligands were prepared, characterized, and tested for their biological activity against various cancer cell lines and the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. The effect of M (mono-substituted) and B (bis-substituted) complexes on the human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cell line was investigated using the MTT assay. Five (B2, B3, B5, B6, and B13) of the 24 synthesized ruthenium complexes showed significant effects with IC50 values ranging between 0.3 and 2.3 μM. Evaluation of the potential biomolecular targets of B2 and B13 by fluorescence spectroscopy revealed relevant interactions with BSA and only a weak affinity for ctDNA. Complexes M2, B2, M13 and B13 were selected for further biological characterization. Their effect on the viability of two ovarian cancer cell lines was compared to normal cell lines, denoting their selectivity. Upon treatment of four different drug-resistant gynaecological cancer cell lines, differing in their multidrug-resistant phenotypes, the efficacy of the bis-substituted complexes was shown to be greater than their mono-substituted counterparts. The non-MDR cells are sensitive to all the tested complexes, compared to MDR cells which are less sensitive. Upon investigation of complexes M2, M13, B2, and B13 against sensitive and multidrug-resistant parasite strains of P. falciparum, the bis-substituted complexes were again shown to be the most potent, with submicromolar activity against both strains. Furthermore, the resistance indexes for the complexes were approximately equal to 1, which is at least 5-fold lower than chloroquine diphosphate, suggesting the ability of these complexes to retain their activity in resistant forms of the parasite.

Abstract
Trinuclear ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes anchored to benzimidazole-triazine / trisamine scaffolds were investigated as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy. The trinuclear complexes were noted to produce a significant amount of singlet oxygen in both DMF and aqueous media, are photostable and show appreciable emission quantum yields (ɸem). In our experimental setting, despite the moderate phototoxic activity in the HeLa cervical cancer cell line, the phototoxic indices (PI) of the trinuclear complexes are superior relative to the PIs of a clinically approved photosensitizer, Photofrin®, and the pro-drug 5-aminolevulinic acid (PI: >7 relative to PI: >1 and PI: 4.4 for 5-aminolevulinic acid and Photofrin®, respectively). Furthermore, the ruthenium complexes were noted to show appreciable long-term cytotoxicity upon light irradiation in HeLa cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Consequently, this long-term activity of the ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes embodies their ability to reduce the probability of the recurrence of cervical cancer. Taken together, this presents a strong motivation for the development of polymetallic complexes as anticancer agents.

Ir(III) Half-Sandwich Photosensitizers with a π-Expansive Ligand for Efficient Anticancer Photodynamic Therapy. J Med Chem 2024; 67:1783-1811.

Abstract
One approach to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy in cancer treatment is photodynamic therapy (PDT), which allows spatiotemporal control of the cytotoxicity. We have used the strategy of coordinating π-expansive ligands to increase the excited state lifetimes of Ir(III) half-sandwich complexes in order to facilitate the generation of 1O2. We have obtained derivatives of formulas [Cp*Ir(C∧N)Cl] and [Cp*Ir(C∧N)L]BF4 with different degrees of π-expansion in the C∧N ligands. Complexes with the more π-expansive ligand are very effective photosensitizers with phototoxic indexes PI > 2000. Furthermore, PI values of 63 were achieved with red light. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations nicely explain the effect of the π-expansion. The complexes produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the cellular level, causing mitochondrial membrane depolarization, cleavage of DNA, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidation, as well as lysosomal damage. Consequently, cell death by apoptosis and secondary necrosis is activated. Thus, we describe the first class of half-sandwich iridium cyclometalated complexes active in PDT.

Abstract
Rare earth metals play a conspicuous role in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting cancerous cells. The alkali metal potassium is a neurotransmitter in the sodium-potassium pump in biomedical sciences. This unique property of rare earth metals and potassium drew our attention to carry forward this study. Therefore, in this work, previously synthesized potassium (K) complexes formed by the reflux of 4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (DBA) and potassium hydroxide in methanol, and named [(μ2-4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoate-κO)(μ2-4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid-κO)(4-N,N-dimethylaminobenzoic acid-κO) potassium(I) coordination polymer)] were treated hydrothermally with La2 O3 nanomaterials to obtain a nanohybrid La2 O3 /K-complex. After that, the K-complex was analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the structural and morphological properties of the as-prepared nanostructured La2 O3 /K-complex were also characterized, which involved an investigation using X-ray diffraction (XRD)spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, atomic force spectroscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. After this, the electrochemical redox behaviour of the synthesized nanohybrid material was studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Therefore, the results from these studies revealed that the as-prepared material was a La2 O3 /K-complex that has a promising future role in sensing various analytes, as it showed effective electrocatalytic behaviour.

Abstract
Efficient in vivo delivery of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to target cells is challenging in clinical applications. Ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes have been discovered as imaging theranostic and anticancer agents due to their photophysical and biological properties.
However, the clinical implementation of ruthenium complexes is limited by cancer cell selectivity. This study presents a novel siRNA delivery nanoplatform by ruthenium polypyridine complex nanoparticles (RPNs). The EGFR RNA aptamer and Notch3 siRNA chimera-loaded RPNs showed
superior RNAi effects against Notch3 gene compared to Lipofectamine. Also, RPN-chimera complexes exhibited significant in vivo antitumor effects against ovarian cancer, which exhibited much potential in future cancer imaging guided gene therapy.

Abstract
Platinum-based photosensitizers are promising anticancer agents in photodynamic therapy. The cytotoxic effects primarily arise from the production of singlet oxygen and platination of DNA. However, their efficacy is limited by drug resistance and hypoxic tumor microenvironment. A naphthalimide-modified cyclometalated platinum(II) complex PtPAN [PA = N-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl)picolinamide, N = N-(2'-ethylhexyl)-4-ethynyl-1,8-naphthalimide] is designed to conquer these problems. PtPAN generates ROS efficiently under both normoxia and hypoxia. It does not interact with DNA and shows low cytotoxicity in the dark, while it kills tumor cells via ROS under near-infrared light irradiation; moreover, it inhibits tumor growth in mice at a low light dose with negligible side effects. PtPAN is the first reported platinum-based photosensitizer that is unreactive to DNA in the dark but highly cytotoxic upon near-infrared (NIR) irradiation for oxygen-independent photodynamic therapy. Owing to its two-photon excitation property (λ = 825 nm), PtPAN may be suitable for the treatment of deep solid tumors.

Abstract
Despite the extensive and rapid discovery of modern drugs for treatment of cancer, microbial infections, and viral illnesses; these diseases are still among major global health concerns. To take inspiration from natural nucleases and also the therapeutic potential of metallopeptide antibiotics such as the bleomycin family, artificial metallonucleases with the ability of promoting DNA/RNA cleavage and eventually affecting cellular biological processes can be introduced as a new class of therapeutic candidates. Metal complexes can be considered as one of the main categories of artificial metalloscissors, which can prompt nucleic acid strand scission. Accordingly, biologists, inorganic chemists, and medicinal inorganic chemists worldwide have been designing, synthesizing and evaluating the biological properties of metal complexes as artificial metalloscissors. In this review, we try to highlight the recent studies conducted on the nuclease-like metalloscissors and their potential therapeutic applications. Under the light of the concurrent Covid-19 pandemic, the human need for new therapeutics was highlighted much more than ever before. The nuclease-like metalloscissors with the potential of RNA cleavage of invading viral pathogens hence deserve prime attention.

Abstract
A cadmium(II) complex containing dppt ligand with the formula [CdCl2(dppt)2], where dppt is 5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazine was synthesized, elucidated and submitted to in vitro cytotoxicity studies against human breast (MCF-7), glioblastoma (U-87), and lung (A549) cancer cell lines as well as mouse embryo normal cell line (NIH/3T3), in comparison with cisplatin employing MTT assay over 24 and 48 h. The complex exhibited the highest cytotoxic effect against MCF-7 cells among the other three cell lines with IC50 values of 8.7 ± 0.5 (24 h) and 1.2 ± 0.7 µM (48 h). Significantly, flow cytometric assessment of the complex-treated MCF-7 and U-87 cells demonstrated a dose-dependent induced apoptotic cell death. The cellular morphological changes were in concord with cytotoxicity and flow cytometric results. The results of comet assay showed that the complex is able to induce DNA damage in MCF-7 cells. These observations are of importance, as sustained damage to cellular DNA could lead to apoptotic cell death. The results of DNA-binding studies indicated that the complex fits into the DNA minor groove and interacts with DNA via a partial intercalation. Moreover, the complex was able to efficiently cleave pUC19 DNA through a hydrolytic mechanism. The binding affinity between the complex and apoptosis-relevant protein targets including APAF1, Bax, Bcl-2, Cas3, Cas7, and Cas9 was evaluated through molecular docking studies. In silico virtual studies revealed the complex's strong affinity towards apoptosis-related proteins; therefore the complex can act as a potential apoptosis inducer. Physicochemical, pharmacokinetics, lipophilicity, drug-likeness, and medicinal chemistry properties of the complex were also predicted through in silico absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion studies.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy is an alternative to classical chemotherapy due to its potential to reduce side effects by a controlled activation of a photosensitizer through local irradiation with light. The photosensitizer then interacts with oxygen and generates reactive oxygen species. Iridium biscyclometallated complexes are very promising photosensitizers due to their exceptional photophysical properties and their ability to target mitochondria. Four Ir(III) biscyclometallated complexes of formula [Ir(C^N)2(N^N')]Cl, where N^N' is a ligand containing a benzimidazolyl fragment, have been synthesized and characterized. The C^N ligands were 2-phenylpyridinate (ppy) and 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridinate (dfppy). The complexes exhibited high photostability. The electrochemical and photophysical properties were modulated by both the cyclometallating and the ancillary ligands. The dfppy derivatives yielded the highest emission energy values, quantum yields of phosphorescence and excited state lifetimes. All complexes generated 1O2 in aerated solutions upon irradiation. Biological studies revealed that these complexes have a moderate cytotoxicity in the dark against different human cancer cell lines: prostate (PC-3), colon (CACO-2) and melanoma (SK-MEL-28), and against non-malignant fibroblasts (CCD-18Co). However, derivatives with ppy ligands ([1a]Cl, [2a]Cl) yielded a relevant photodynamic activity upon light irradiation (450 nm, 24.1 J cm-2), with phototoxicity indexes (EC50,dark/EC50,light) of 20.8 and 17.3, respectively, achieved in PC-3 cells. Mechanistic studies showed that these complexes are taken up by the cells through endocytosis and preferentially accumulate in mitochondria. Upon photoactivation, the complexes induced mitochondrial membrane depolarization and DNA damage, thus triggering cell death, mainly by apoptosis. Complex [1a]Cl is also able to oxidize NADH. This mitochondria-targeted photodynamic mechanism greatly inhibited the reproductive capacity of cancer cells and provides a valuable alternative to traditional chemotherapy for the controlled treatment of cancer.

Abstract
The synthesis and photophysical and chiroptical properties of novel aza[n]helicenes (6a-d, 10a,b, n = 4-7) substituted with one or two 2-pyridyl groups are described. The preparation was performed via an adapted Mallory reaction using aromatic imines as precursors. The obtained novel class of helical 2,2'-bipyridine ligands was then coordinated to Ru(bipy)22+ units, thus affording the first diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure [RuL(bipy)2]2+ (11a,c, L = 6a,c) or [Ru2L'(bipy)4]4+ (12, L' = 10b) complexes. The topology and stereochemistry of these novel metal-based helical architectures were studied in detail, notably using X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, the coordination to ruthenium(II) enabled the preparation of fused multihelical systems incorporating aza- and ruthena-helicenes within the same scaffold. The photophysical, chiroptical, and redox properties of these complexes were examined in detail, and efficient redox-triggered chiroptical switching activity was evidenced.

Abstract
A family of three water-soluble half-sandwich arene-ruthenium complexes, depicted as C 1 -C 3 , having the general formula [Ru(p-cymene)(L)Cl]Cl has been synthesized, where L represents (1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)guanidine (L 1 ) or (benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)guanidine (L 2 ) or (benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)guanidine (L 3 ). The crystal structure of complex C 3 has been determined. The complexes show several absorption bands in the visible and ultraviolet regions, and they also show prominent emission in the visible region while excited near 400 nm. Studies on the interaction of ligands L 1 -L 3 and complexes C 1 -C 3 with calf thymus DNA reveal that the complexes are better DNA binders than the ligands, which is attributable to the imposed planarity of the ruthenium-bound guanidine-based ligand, enabling it to serve as a better intercalator. Molecular docking studies show that the complexes effectively bind with DNA through electrostatic and H-bonding interactions and partial intercalation of the guanidine-based ligands. Cytotoxicity studies carried out on two carcinoma cell lines (PC3 and A549) and on two non-cancer cell lines (BPH1 and WI-38) show a marked improvement in antitumor activity owing to complex formation, which is attributed to improvement in cellular uptake on complex formation. The C 1 complex is found to exhibit the most prominent activity against the PC3 cell line. Inclusion of the guanidine-based ligands in the half-sandwich ruthenium-arene complexes is found to be effective for displaying selective cytotoxicity to cancer cells and also for convenient tracing of the complexes in cells due to their prominent emissive nature.

Abstract
Photophysical properties of europium (Eu(III)) complexes are affected by ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) states. Two luminescent Eu(III) complexes with three tetramethylheptadionates (tmh) and pyridine (py), [Eu(tmh)3(py)1] (seven-coordinated monocapped-octahedral structure) and [Eu(tmh)3(py)2] (eight-coordinated square antiprismatic structure), were synthesized for geometrical-induced LMCT level control. Distances between Eu(III) and oxygen atoms of tmh ligands were estimated using single-crystal X-ray analyses. The contribution percentages of π-4f mixing in HOMO and LUMO at the optimized structure in the ground state were calculated using DFT (LC-BLYP). The Eu-O distances and their π-4f mixed orbitals affect the energy level of LMCT states in Eu(III) complexes. The LMCT energy level of an eight-coordinated Eu(III) complex was higher than that of a seven-coordinated Eu(III) complex. The energy transfer processes between LMCT and Eu(III) ion were investigated using temperature-dependent and time-resolved emission lifetime measurements of 5D0 → 7FJ transitions of Eu(III) ions. In this study, the LMCT-dependent energy transfer processes of seven- and eight-coordinated Eu(III) complexes are demonstrated for the first time.

Abstract
A family of cationic cycloplatinated(II) complexes [Pt(dfppy)(P^P)]Cl, dfppy = 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine, incorporating bisphosphine ligands, P^P = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (1, dppm), 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (2, dppe) and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (3, dppbz), was prepared. The complexes were characterized by means of several analytical and spectroscopic methods. These complexes displayed acceptable stability in the biological environments which was confirmed by NMR, HR ESI-MS and UV-vis techniques. The antiproliferative properties of these complexes were evaluated by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at National Institutes of Health (NIH) against 60 different human tumor cell lines such as leukemia, melanoma, lung, colon, brain, ovary, breast, prostate and kidney. These complexes showed higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin against a wide variety of cancer cell lines such as K-562 (leukemia), HOP-92 (lung), HCT-116 (colon), OVCAR-8 (ovarian), PC-3 (prostate), MDA-MB-468 (breast), and melanoma cancer cell lines. Complex 3 as the most potent compound in this study furnished an excellent anti-proliferative activity compared to the cisplatin against Hela, SKOV3, and MCF-7 cancer cell lines. The main mode of the interaction of 1-3 with DNA was also determined using molecular docking studies.

Abstract
The importance of ion pairing in different fields of chemistry is widely recognized. In this work, we have synthesized a set of cationic p-cymene ruthenium complexes of general formula [(p-cym)Ru(L')(κ2-O^N-L)]X (p-cym = p-cymene; L' = N-methylimidazole (MeIm), N-ethylpiperidylimidazole (EpipIm), 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA); L = 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenolato (L1), 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)phenolato (L2); X = Cl-, BF4-, OTf-, BPh4-). X-ray diffraction studies on selected complexes revealed relatively strong anion-cation interactions in the solid state mainly based on N-H···X (X = Cl, F, O) and C-H···π interactions, also observed in the DFT-modeled complexes in the gas phase. Moreover, NMR studies showed that they exist as intimate ion pairs in solution and, remarkably, as head-to-tail quadruples in the particular case of the cation [(p-cym)Ru(MeIm)(κ2- O^N-L1)]+ ([1]+) with Cl- and BPh4- as counteranions. Furthermore, a value of ΔG = -2.9 kcal mol-1 at 299 K has been estimated for the equilibrium {[1]BPh4···[1]BPh4} ⇆ 2{[1]+···BPh4-} in concentrated CDCl3 solutions. In addition, preliminary studies concerning the cytotoxic properties against HeLa cell lines of the derivatives suggested a positive effect derived from the presence of the lipophilic BPh4- anion and also from the NH group of the benzimidazolyl fragment.

Abstract
We have synthesized a set of bombesin derivatives with the aim of exploring their tumor targeting properties to deliver metal-based chemotherapeutics into cancer cells. Peptide QRLGNQWAVGHLL-NH2 (BN3) was selected based on its high internalization in gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-overexpressing PC-3 cells. Three metallopeptides were prepared by incorporating the terpyridine Pt(II) complex [PtCl(cptpy)]Cl (1) (cptpy = 4'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2,2':6,2″-terpyridine) at the N-terminus of BN3 or at the NƐ- or Nα-amino group of an additional Lys residue (1-BN3, Lys-1-BN3 and 1-Lys-BN3, respectively). 1-Lys-BN3 displayed the best cytotoxic activity (IC50: 19.2 ± 1.7 μM) and similar ability to intercalate into DNA than complex 1. Moreover, the polypyridine Ru(II) complex [Ru(bpy)2)(cmbpy)](PF6)2 (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine; cmbpy = 4-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine-4'-carboxylic acid), with proven activity as photosensitizer, was coupled to BN3 leading to metallopeptide 2-Lys-BN3. Upon photoactivation, 2-Lys-BN3 displayed 2.5-fold higher cytotoxicity against PC-3 cells (IC50: 7.6 ± 1.0 μM) than complex 2. To enhance the accumulation of the drugs into the cell nucleus, the nuclear localization signal (NLS) PKKKRKV was incorporated at the N-terminus of BN3. NLS-BN3 displayed higher cellular internalization along with nuclear biodistribution. Accordingly, metallopeptides 1-NLS-BN3 and 2-NLS-BN3 showed increased cytotoxicity (IC50: 12.0 ± 1.1 μM and 2.3 ± 1.1 μM). Interestingly, the phototoxic index of 2-NLS-BN3 was 8-fold higher than that of complex 2. Next, the selectivity towards cancer cells was explored using 1BR3.G fibroblasts. Higher selectivity indexes were obtained for 1-NLS-BN3 and 2-NLS-BN3 than for the unconjugated complexes. These results prove NLS-BN3 effective for targeted delivery of metallodrugs to GRPR-overexpressing cells and for enhancing the cytotoxic efficacy of metal-based photosensitizers.

Abstract
Extending the bandwidth of triplet excited-state absorption in transition-metal complexes is appealing for developing broadband reverse saturable absorbers. Targeting this goal, five bis-terdentate iridium(III) complexes (Ir1-Ir5) bearing trans-bis-cyclometalating (C^N^C) and 4'-R-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (4'-R-tpy) ligands were synthesized. The effects of the structural variation in cyclometalating ligands and substituents at the tpy ligand on the photophysics of these complexes have been systematically explored using spectroscopic methods (i.e., UV-vis absorption, emission, and transient absorption spectroscopy) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculations. All complexes exhibited intensely structured 1π,π* absorption bands at <400 nm and broad charge transfer (1CT)/1π,π* transitions at 400-600 nm. Ligand structural variations exerted a very small effect on the energies of the 1CT/1π,π* transitions; however, they had a significant effect on the molar extinction coefficients of these absorption bands. All complexes emitted featureless deep red phosphorescence in solutions at room temperature and gave broad-band and strong triplet excited-state absorption ranging from the visible to the near-infrared (NIR) spectral regions, with both originating from the 3π,π*/3CT states. Although alteration of the ligand structures influenced the emission energies slightly, these changes significantly affected the emission lifetimes and quantum yields, transient absorption spectral features, and the triplet excited-state quantum yields of the complexes. Except for Ir3, the other four complexes all manifested reverse saturable absorption (RSA) upon nanosecond laser pulse excitation at 532 nm, with the decreasing trend of RSA following Ir2 ≈ Ir4 > Ir1 > Ir5 > Ir3. The RSA trend corresponded well with the strength of the excited-state and ground-state absorption differences (ΔOD) at 532 nm for these complexes.

Nickel and zinc complexes of testosterone N4-substituted thiosemicarbazone: Selective cytotoxicity towards human colorectal carcinoma cell line HCT 116 and their cell death mechanisms. J Inorg Biochem 2020; 208:111097. [PMID: 32438269 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2020.111097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2019] [Revised: 04/25/2020] [Accepted: 04/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Two new Schiff base ligands (TE and TF) were prepared from conjugation of testosterone with 4-(4-ethylphenyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide and 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide, respectively. Their nickel (NE and NF) and zinc (ZE and ZF) complexes were reported. X-ray crystallography revealed a distorted square planar geometry was adopted by NE. The compounds demonstrated excellent selectivity towards the colorectal carcinoma cell line HCT 116 despite their weak preferences towards the prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3 and LNCaP). Against HCT 116, all these compounds were able to arrest cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and induce apoptosis via mitochondria-dependent (TE, NE, and TF) and extrinsic apoptotic pathway (ZE, NF, and ZF). Moreover, only ZE was able to act as topoisomease I poison and halt its enzymatic reactions although all compounds presented excellent affinity towards DNA.
