Abstract
A series of Ru(II) and Ir(III) based photoluminescent complexes were synthesised that incorporate an ancillary 2,2'-bipyridine ligand adorned with either one or two pendant N-methyl imidazolium groups. These complexes have been fully characterised by an array of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. One Ir(III) example was unequivocally structurally characterised in the solid state using single crystal X-ray diffraction confirming the proposed formulation and coordination sphere. These complexes were then transformed into their heterometallic, Au(I)-containing, analogues in two steps to yield either bi- or trimetallic complexes that integrate {Au(PPh3)}+ units. X-ray diffraction was used to corroborate the solid state structure of the hetero bimetallic complex, based upon a Ru(II)-Au(I) species. The heterometallic complexes all displayed red photoluminescent features (λem = 616-629 nm) that were consistent with the parent Ru(II) or Ir(III) lumophores in each case. The modulation of the emission from the Ru(II)-Au(I) complexes was much more strongly evident than for the Ir(III)-Au(I) analogues, which is ascribed to the inherent differences in the specific triplet excited state character of the emitting states within each heterometallic species.

Abstract
Ruthenium-based complexes have been suggested as promising anticancer drugs exhibiting reduced general toxicity compared to platinum-based drugs. In particular, Ru(η6-arene)(PTA)Cl2 (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), or RAPTA, complexes have demonstrated efficacy against breast cancer by suppressing metastasis, tumorigenicity, and inhibiting the replication of the human tumor suppressor gene BRCA1. However, RAPTA compounds have limited cytotoxicity, and therefore comparatively high doses are required. This study explores the activity of a series of RAPTA-like ruthenium(II) arene compounds against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines and [Ru(η6-toluene)(PPh3)2Cl]+ was identified as a promising candidate. Notably, [Ru(η6-toluene)(PPh3)2Cl]Cl was found to be remarkably stable and highly cytotoxic, and selective to breast cancer cells. The minor groove of DNA was identified as a relevant target.

Abstract
Herein, we present an unprecedented formation of a heterodinuclear complex [{(ppy)2IrIII}(μ-phpy){RuII(tpy)}](ClO4)2 {[1](ClO4)2} using terpyridyl/phenylpyridine as ancillary ligands and asymmetric phpy as a bridging ligand. The asymmetric binding mode (N∧N-∩-N∧N∧C-) of the phpy ligand in {[1](ClO4)2} is confirmed by 1H, 13C, 1H-1H correlated spectroscopy (COSY), high-resolution mass spectrum (HRMS), single-crystal X-ray crystallography techniques, and solution conductivity measurements. Theoretical investigation suggests that the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the least unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of [1]2+ are located on iridium/ppy and phpy, respectively. The complex displays a broad low energy charge transfer (CT) band within 450-575 nm. The time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) analysis suggests this as a mixture of metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) and ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT), where both ruthenium, iridium, and ligands are involved. Complex {[1](ClO4)2} exhibits RuIIIrIII/RuIIIIrIII- and RuIIIIrIII/RuIIIIrIV-based oxidative couples at 0.83 and 1.39 V, respectively. The complex shows anticancer activity and selectivity toward human breast cancer cells (IC50; MCF-7: 9.3 ± 1.2 μM, and MDA-MB-231: 8.6 ± 1.2 μM) over normal breast cells (MCF 10A: IC50 ≈ 21 ± 1.3 μM). The Western blot analysis and fluorescence microscopy images suggest that combined apoptosis and autophagy are responsible for cancer cell death.

Abstract
Metal complexes have demonstrated significant antitumor activities and platinum complexes are well established in the clinical application of cancer chemotherapy. However, the platinum-based treatment of different types of cancers is massively hampered by severe side effects and resistance development. Consequently, the development of novel metal-based drugs with different mechanism of action and pharmaceutical profile attracts modern medicinal chemists to design and synthesize novel metal-based agents. Among non-platinum anticancer drugs, gold complexes have gained considerable attention due to their significant antiproliferative potency and efficacy. In most situations, the gold complexes exhibit anticancer activities by targeting thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) or other thiol-rich proteins and enzymes and trigger cell death via reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, gold complexes were recently reported to elicit biochemical hallmarks of immunogenic cell death (ICD) as an ICD inducer. In this review, the recent progress of gold(I) and gold(III) complexes is comprehensively summarized, and their activities and mechanism of action are documented.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurological disorder for which soluble oligomers of the peptide amyloid-β (Aβ) are now recognized as the neurotoxic species. Metal-based therapeutics are uniquely suited to target Aβ, with ruthenium-based (Ru) complexes emerging as propitious candidates. Recently, azole-based Ru(III) complexes were observed to modulate the aggregation of Aβ in solution, where the inclusion of a primary amine proximal to the ligand coordination site improved the activity of the complexes. To advance these structure-activity relationships, a series of oxazole-based Ru complexes were prepared and evaluated for their ability to modulate Aβ aggregation. From these studies, a lead candidate, Oc, emerged that had superior activity relative to its azole predecessors in modulating the aggregation of soluble Aβ and diminishing its cytotoxicity. Further evaluation of Oc demonstrated its ability to disrupt formed Aβ aggregates, resulting in smaller amorphous species. Because altering both sides of the aggregation equilibrium for Aβ has not been previously suggested for metal-based complexes for AD, this work represents an exciting new avenue for improved therapeutic success.

Abstract
Recent recognition of the soluble form of the amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide as a neurotoxic agent in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has spurred the development of agents to target this species. Because Aβ is known to chelate metal ions in solution, metal-based therapeutics are uniquely suited to exploit this affinity, where coordination to Aβ has been shown to impact the neurotoxicity of the peptide. Ruthenium(II)–arene complexes are unique candidates for evaluation, as one face of the molecule is blocked by the hydrophobic arene ring, while coordination to the Aβ peptide can occur on the other side of the molecule. We have prepared and evaluated two Ru(II)–arene complexes with chelating quinoline-based ligands, Ru1 and Ru2, for their respective anti-amyloid abilities. Although both complexes decreased the aggregation of soluble Aβ, Ru1 displayed promise in disrupting formed aggregates of the peptide. These findings represent an exciting new avenue for therapeutic development in AD, where both sides of the aggregation equilibrium are affected.

Abstract
Multimetallic complexes have been shown in several examples to possess greater anticancer activity than their monometallic counterparts. The increased activity has been attributed to altered modes of action. We herein report the synthesis of a series of heterodimetallic compounds based on a ditopic ligand featuring 2-pyridylimine chelating motifs and organometallic half-sandwich moieties. The complexes were characterized by a combination of 1H NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Investigations into the stability of representative complexes in DMSO-d6 and 10% DMSO-d6/D2O revealed the occurrence of solvent-chlorido ligand exchange. Proliferation assays in four human cancer cell lines showed that the Os-Rh complex possessed minimal activity, while all other complexes were inactive.

Abstract
Complexes [Ru(η6−C10H14)(Cl2)(HdmoPTA)](OSO2CF3) (1), [Ru(η6−C10H14)(Cl2)(dmoPTA)] (2) and [Ru(η6−C10H14)(Cl2)‐μ‐dmoPTA‐1κP:2κ2N,N’‐MCl2] (M=Zn (3), Co (4), Ni (5), dmoPTA=3,7‐dimethyl‐1,3,7‐triaza‐5‐phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of 1, 3 and 5 were obtained by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The antiproliferative activity of the complexes was evaluated against colon cancer cell line Caco‐2/TC7 by using the MTT protocol. The monometallic ruthenium complexes 1 and 2 were found to be inactive, but the bimetallic complexes 3, 4 and 5 display an increased activity (IC503: 9.07±0.27, 4: 5.40±0.19, 5: 7.15±0.30 μM) compared to cisplatin (IC50=45.6±8.08 μM). Importantly, no reduction in normal cell viability was observed in the presence of the complexes. Experiments targeted to obtain information on the possible action mechanism of the complexes, such as cell cycle, ROS and gene expression studies, were performed. The results showed that the complexes display different properties and action mechanism depending on the nature of metal, M, bonded to the CH3NdmoPTA atoms.

Abstract
RATIONALE The Analysis of Oligonucleotide Modifications from Mass Spectra (Aom2 S) was created to support the analysis of oligonucleotide mass spectra. This application complements the existing software tools by providing a comprehensive analysis of oligonucleotide fragments from high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (HR-MS/MS) data in a flexible and user-friendly manner, directly accessible through a web browser without any need for installation. METHODS MS measurements of aminoC6-DNA and inosine-RNA were performed using an LTQ Orbitrap FT-MS instrument. The obtained data were analyzed by our newly developed open-source package Aom2 S accessible from the ms.epfl.ch web page or directly at https://mstools.epfl.ch/am2s/ to demonstrate the various functionalities of this tool, notably the possibility to identify different product ions from a nucleotide sequence with any fixed/variable modification by matching theoretical isotopic patterns to any experimental mass spectra with similarity scores ranking. RESULTS A detailed description of the Aom2 S tool with its user-friendly interface is exemplified using HR-MS/MS data of modified DNA and RNA oligonucleotides. Explanations of analysis parameters and tool workflow, as well as multiple options for viewing and exporting the results, are provided. Product ion assignment and modification localization can be achieved in seconds, and results can be exported as tables, matched mass spectra, and fragmentation maps. CONCLUSIONS A new open source tool (Aom2 S) for the analysis of HR-MS/MS data for modified DNA and RNA oligonucleotides is described. Aom2 S is fast, highly flexible, and versatile, allowing automatic precursor and product ion assignment in a comprehensive manner, including internal fragments and variable modification localization, with clear graphical representation of the results.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by extracellular protein deposits, comprised primarily of the peptide amyloid-beta (Aβ), are a pathological indicator of the disease. Commonly known as Aβ plaques, these deposits contain a relatively high concentration of metals, making metallotherapeutics uniquely suited to target soluble Aβ, thereby limiting its aggregation and cytotoxicity. Ruthenium-based complexes are promising candidates for advancement, as the complex PMRU20 (2-aminothiazolium [trans-RuCl4(2-aminothiazole)2]) and several thiazole-based derivatives were found to prevent the aggregation of Aβ, with hydrogen-bonding functional groups improving their performance. Further investigation into the impact of the heteroatom in the azole ring on the activity of Ru complexes was achieved through the synthesis and evaluation of a small set of imidazole-based compounds. The ability of the complexes to prevent the aggregation of Aβ was determined where the same sample was subjected to analysis by three complementary methods: ThT fluorescence, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was found that hydrophobic interactions, along with hydrogen-bonding via the imidazole nitrogen heteroatom, promoted interactions with the Aβ peptide, thereby limiting its aggregation. Furthermore, it was found that having rapid and sequential exchange proved detrimental as it resulted in a decreased association with Aβ. These results highlight important considerations between a balance of intermolecular interactions and ligand exchange kinetics in the design of further therapeutic candidates.

Abstract
The two independent and N N ^ coordination sites of a newly synthesized bis[2-(hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazole] platform have been exploited to prepare four monometallic neutral ()PtII complexes carrying DMSO, pyridine, triphenylphosphine, or N-heterocyclic carbene as the fourth ligand. Then, the second N N ^ coordination site was used to introduce an IR-active rhenium tricarbonyl entity, affording the four corresponding heterobimetallic neutral PtII /ReI complexes, as well as a cationic PtII /ReI derivative. X-ray crystallographic studies showed that distortion of the organic platform occurred to accommodate the coordination geometry of both metal centers. No ligand exchange or transchelation occurred upon incubation of the PtII complexes in aqueous environment or in the presence of FeIII , respectively. The antiproliferative activity of the ligand and complexes was first screened on the triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Then, the IC50 values of the most active candidates were determined on a wider panel of human cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, and A2780), as well as on a nontumorigenic cell line (MCF-10A). Low micromolar activities were reached for the complexes carrying a DMSO ligand, making them the first examples of highly active, but hydrolytically stable, PtII complexes. Finally, the characteristic mid-IR signature of the {Re(CO)3 } fragment in the Pt/Re heterobimetallic complexes was used to quantify their uptake in breast cancer cells.

Modulation of Amyloidogenic Peptide Aggregation by Photoactivatable CO-Releasing Ruthenium(II) Complexes. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2020; 13:ph13080171.

Abstract
Three Ru(II)-based CO-releasing molecules featuring bidentate benzimidazole and terpyridine derivatives as ligands were investigated for their ability to modulate the aggregation process of the second helix of the C-terminal domain of nucleophosmin 1, namely nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1)264-277, a model amyloidogenic system, before and after irradiation at 365 nm. Thioflavin T (ThT) binding assays and UV/Vis absorption spectra indicate that binding of the compounds to the peptide inhibits its aggregation and that the inhibitory effect increases upon irradiation (half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values in the high micromolar range). Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry data of the peptide in the presence of one of these compounds confirm that the modulation of amyloid aggregation relies on the formation of adducts obtained when the Ru compounds react with the peptide upon releasing of labile ligands, like chloride and carbon monoxide. This mechanism of action explains the subtle different behavior of the three compounds observed in ThT experiments. Overall, data support the hypothesis that metal-based CO releasing molecules can be used to develop metal-based drugs with potential application as anti-amyloidogenic agents.

Abstract
Four Ru-Pd heterobimetallic complexes, each one in two different coordination modes (NNSS and NS) having metals connected by a binucleating dialkyldithiooxamidate [N(R)SC-CS(R)N] [R = methyl, ethyl, n-butyl and isopropyl], were prepared by reacting the monochelate [(trinpropyl-phosphine)ClPd(HR2C2N2S2κ-S,S-Pd)] with [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2. Furthermore, two palladium homobimetallic complexes having two (trinpropyl-phosphine)ClPd moieties joined by a diethyldithiooxamidate in both κ-N,S Pd, κ-N',S' Pd' and κ-N,N' Pd, κ-S,S' Pd' coordination modes were synthesized. For both kinds of complexes, homo- and heterobimetallic, at room temperature and in chloroform solution, the NNSS coordination mode (kinetic compounds) turns out to be unstable and therefore the resulting complexes rearrange into a thermodynamically more stable form (NS coordination mode). The crystal structures of [(trinpropyl-phosphine)ClPd]2[μ-(ethyl)2-DTO κ-N,S Pd, κ-N',S' Pd'] (2) and [(η6-p-cymene)ClRu][μ-(methyl)2-DTO κ-N,S Ru, κ-N,S Pd] [(trinpropyl-phosphine)ClPd] (1c) were determined by solid state X-ray crystallography. Moreover, the higher stability of the thermodynamic species in the heterobimetallic complexes (Ru-Pd) was evaluated by means of computational studies in accordance with the maximum hardness principle. All stable NS complexes (i.e.1c-4c, 2 and the previously reported homobimetallic Ru complex 3) were tested against two leukemia cell lines, namely the drug-sensitive CCRF-CEM cell line and its multidrug-resistant sub-cell line CEM/ADR5000 showing anti-proliferative activity in the low micromolar range (∼1-5 μM) and micromolar range (∼10-25 μM), respectively. In addition, these complexes efficaciously block at least two out of the three proteolytic activities of the tumor target 20S proteasome, with heterobimetallic complex 3c and homobimetallic complex 3 possessing the best inhibitory profile.
