ACS Med Chem Lett 2024; 15:1482-1490. [PMID: 39291013 PMCID: PMC11403735 DOI: 10.1021/acsmedchemlett.4c00207] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/15/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Cancer is a multifaceted disease involving various pathological processes, including uncontrolled proliferation, development of resistance, angiogenesis, metastasis, etc. Therefore, chemotherapeutic agents capable of simultaneously inhibiting proliferation, circumventing chemoresistance, and inhibiting angiogenesis can address multiple aspects of cancer progression. We recently identified a highly promising kinetically inert platinum antitumor agent, namely, Pt-1, that can circumvent cisplatin resistance and showed negligible nephrotoxicity. In this study, we explored the antiangiogenic potential and elucidated the detailed mechanism of cell death through which it exerts its antitumor activity. Pt-1 strongly inhibited angiogenesis in a zebrafish in vivo model at its therapeutically relevant nontoxic dose. Further, Pt-1 exerted antitumor activity through necroptosis- and paraptosis-mediated cell death. Taken together, the combination of antitumor activity with antiangiogenic property in Pt-1 makes it a highly promising antitumor candidate.

Abstract
The search for better chemotherapeutic drugs to alleviate the deficiencies of existing platinum (Pt) drugs has picked up the pace in the millennium. There has been a disparate effort to design better and safer Pt drugs to deal with the problems of deactivation, Pt resistance and toxic side effects of clinical Pt drugs. In this review, we have discussed the potential of kinetically inert Pt complexes as an emerging class of next-generation Pt drugs. The introduction gives an overview about the development, use, mechanism of action and side effects of clinical Pt drugs as well as the various approaches to improve some of their pharmacological properties. We then describe the impact of kinetic lability on the pharmacology of functional Pt drugs including deactivation, antitumor efficacy, toxicity and resistance. Following a brief overview of numerous pharmacological advantages that a non-functional kinetically inert Pt complex can offer; we discussed structurally different classes of kinetically inert Pt (II) complexes highlighting their unique pharmacological features.

Improving In Vivo Tumor Accumulation and Efficacy of Platinum Antitumor Agents by Electronic Tuning of the Kinetic Lability. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202302720. [PMID: 37888749 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202302720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
The impact of kinetic lability or reactivity on in vitro cytotoxicity, stability in plasma, in vivo tumor and tissue accumulation, and antitumor efficacy of functional platinum(II) (Pt) anticancer agents containing a O˄O β-diketonate leaving ligand remain largely unexplored. To investigate this, we synthesized Pt complexes [(NH3 )2 Pt(L1-H)]NO3 and [(DACH)Pt(L1-H)]NO3 (L1=4,4,4-trifluoro-1-ferrocenylbutane-1,3-dione, DACH=1R,2R-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine) containing an electron deficient [L1-H]- O˄O leaving ligand and [(NH3 )2 Pt(L2-H)]NO3 and [(DACH)Pt(L2-H)]NO3 (L2=1-ferrocenylbutane-1,3-dione) containing an electron-rich [L2-H]- O˄O leaving ligand. While all four complexes have comparable lipophilicity, the presence of the electron-withdrawing CF3 group was found to dramatically enhance the reactivity of these complexes toward nucleophilic biomolecules. In vitro cellular assays revealed that the more reactive complexes have higher cellular uptake and higher anticancer potency as compared to their less reactive analogs. But the scenario is opposite in vivo, where the less reactive complex showed improved tissue and tumor accumulation and better anticancer efficacy in mice bearing ovarian xenograft when compared to its more reactive analog. Finally, in addition to demonstrating the profound but contrasting impact of kinetic lability on in vitro and in vivo antitumor potencies, we also described the impact of kinetic lability on the mechanism of action of this class of promising antitumor agents.

Abstract
This work describes the synthesis of four gold(I) [AuClL] compounds containing chloro and biologically active protonated thiosemicarbazones based on 5-nitrofuryl (L=HSTC). The stability of the compounds in dichloromethane, DMSO, and DMSO/culture media solutions was investigated by spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and conductimetry, indicating the formation overtime of cationic monometallic [Au(HTSC)(DMSO)]± or [Au(HTSC)2 ]± , and/or dimeric species. Neutral [{Au(TSC)}2 ] species were obtained from one of the compounds in dichlomethane/n-hexane solution and characterized by X-ray crystallography revealing a Au-Au bond, and deprotonated thiosemicarbazone (TSC). The cytotoxicity of the gold compounds and thiosemicarbazone ligands was evaluated against selected cancer cell lines and compared to that of Auranofin. Studies of the most stable, cytotoxic, and selective compound on a renal cancer cell line (Caki-1) demonstrated its relevant antimigratory and anti-angiogenic properties, and preferential accumulation in the cell nuclei. Its mode of action seems to involve interaction with DNA, and subsequent cell death via apoptosis.

Abstract
Developing new therapeutic and diagnostic metals and metal complexes is a stunning example of how inorganic chemistry is rapidly becoming an essential part of modern medicine. More study of bio-coordination chemistry is needed to improve the design of compounds with fewer harmful side effects. Metal-containing drugs are widely utilized in the treatment of cancer. Platinum complexes are effective against some cancers, but new coordination compounds are being created with improved pharmacological properties and a broader spectrum of anticancer action. The coordination complexes of the 15 lanthanides or rare earth elements in the periodic table are crucial for diagnosing and treating cancer. Understanding and treating cancer requires the detection of binding lanthanide (III) ions or complexes to DNA and breaking DNA by these complexes. Current advances in lanthanide-based coordination complexes as anticancer treatments over the past five years are discussed in this study.

Abstract
New heterometallic binuclear and trinuclear platinum(IV)-gold(I) compounds of the type [Pt(L)n Cl2 (OH){(OOC-4-C6 H4 -PPh2 )AuCl}x ] (L=NH3 , n=2; x=1, 2; L=diaminocyclohexane, DACH, n=1; x=2) are described. These compounds are cytotoxic and selective against a small panel of renal, bladder, ovarian, and breast cancer cell lines. We selected a trinuclear PtAu2 compound containing the PtIV core based on oxaliplatin, to further investigate its cell-death pathway, cell and organelle uptake and anticancer effects against the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cell line. This compound induces apoptosis and accumulates mainly in the nucleus and mitochondria. It also exerts remarkable antimigratory and antiangiogenic properties, and has a potent cytotoxic effect against TNBC 3D spheroids. Trinuclear compounds do not seem to display relevant interactions with calf thymus (CT) DNA and plasmid (pBR322) even in the presence of reducing agents, but inhibit pro-angiogenic enzyme thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in TNBC cells.

Abstract
While the phenomenal clinical success of blockbuster platinum (Pt) drugs is highly encouraging, the inherent and acquired resistance and dose-limiting side effects severely limit their clinical application. To find a better alternative with translational potential, we synthesized a library of six organo-IrIII half-sandwich [(η5-CpX)Ir(N∧N)Cl]+-type complexes. In vitro screening identified two lead candidates [(η5-CpXPh)Ir(Ph2Phen)Cl]+ (5, CpXPh = tetramethyl-phenyl-cyclopentadienyl and Ph2Phen = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) and [(η5-CpXBiPh)Ir(Ph2Phen)Cl]+ (6, CpXBiPh = tetramethyl-biphenyl-cyclopentadienyl) with nanomolar IC50 values. Both 5 and 6 efficiently overcame Pt resistance and presented excellent cancer cell selectivity in vitro. Potent antiangiogenic properties of 6 were demonstrated in the zebrafish model. Satisfyingly, 6 and its nanoliposome Lipo-6 presented considerably higher in vivo antitumor efficacy as compared to cisplatin, as well as earlier reported IrIII half-sandwich complexes in mice bearing the A549 non-small lung cancer xenograft. In particular, complex 6 is the first example of this class that exerted dual in vivo antiangiogenic and antitumor properties.

Abstract
Even in the modern era of precision medicine and immunotherapy, chemotherapy with platinum (Pt) drugs remains among the most commonly prescribed medications against a variety of cancers. Unfortunately, the broad applicability of these blockbuster Pt drugs is severely limited by intrinsic and/or acquired resistance, and high systemic toxicity. Considering the strong interconnection between kinetic lability and undesired shortcomings of clinical Pt drugs, we rationally designed kinetically inert organometallic Pt based anticancer agents with a novel mechanism of action. Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo assays, we demonstrated that the development of a remarkably efficacious but kinetically inert Pt anticancer agent is feasible. Along with exerting promising antitumor efficacy in Pt-sensitive as well as Pt-resistant tumors in vivo, our best candidate has the ability to mitigate the nephrotoxicity issue associated with cisplatin. In addition to demonstrating, for the first time, the power of kinetic inertness in improving the therapeutic benefits of Pt based anticancer therapy, we describe the detailed mechanism of action of our best kinetically inert antitumor agent. This study will certainly pave the way for designing the next generation of anticancer drugs for effective treatment of various cancers.

Abstract
Platinum drugs with manifest therapeutic effects are widely used, but their systemic toxicity and the drug resistance acquired by cancer cells limit their clinical applications. Thus, the exploration on appropriate methods and strategies to overcome the limitations of traditional platinum drugs becomes extremely necessary. Combination therapy of platinum drugs can inhibit tumor growth and metastasis in an additive or synergistic manner, and can potentially reduce the systemic toxicity of platinum drugs and overcome platinum-resistance. This review summarizes the various modalities and current progress in platinum-based combination therapy. The synthetic strategies and therapeutic effects of some platinum-based anticancer complexes in the combination of platinum drugs with gene editing, ROS-based therapy, thermal therapy, immunotherapy, biological modelling, photoactivation, supramolecular self-assembly and imaging modality are briefly described. Their potential challenges and prospects are also discussed. It is hoped that this review will inspire researchers to have more ideas for the future development of highly effective platinum-based anti-cancer complexes.

Abstract
Three new synthetic terpyridine copper(II) complexes were characterized. The copper(II) complexes induced apoptosis of three cancer cell lines and arrested T-24 cell cycle in G1 phase. The complexes were accumulated in mitochondria of T-24 cells and caused significant reduction of the mitochondrial membrane potential. The complexes increased both intracellular ROS and Ca2+ levels and activated the caspase-3/9 expression. The apoptosis was further confirmed by Western Blotting analysis. Bcl-2 was down-regulated and Bax was upregulated after treatment with complexes 1-3. The in vivo studies showed that complexes 1-3 obviously inhibited the growth of tumor without significant toxicity to other organs.

Abstract
Cancer, which is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells, is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cytotoxic chemotherapy, especially with platinum drugs, remains the mainstay of cancer treatment in the clinical setting. Despite phenomenal success, small-molecule chemotherapeutic drugs suffer from some serious drawbacks. Lack of cancer selectivity and the ensuing side effects mar the therapeutic potential of these drugs. Glycoconjugation has emerged as an attractive strategy for imparting selectivity and improving pharmacokinetics of cytotoxic agents. In this review, we provide an overview of the glycoconjugation strategy and then illustrate the application of this strategy with the help of some concrete examples of platinum based glycoconjugates. At the end we discuss a few important aspects of these glycoconjugates which merit further investigations.

Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to synthesize a new set of naphthoquinone-based ruthenium(II) arene complexes and to develop an understanding of their mode of action. This study systematically reviews the steps of synthesis, aiming to provide a simplified approach using microwave irradiation. The chemical structures and the physicochemical properties of this novel group of compounds were examined by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, HPLC-MS and supporting DFT calculations. Several aspects of the biological activity were investigated in vitro, including short- and long-term cytotoxicity tests, cellular accumulation studies, detection of reactive oxygen species generation, apoptosis induction and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) activity as well as cell cycle analysis in A549, CH1/PA-1, and SW480 cancer cells. Furthermore, the DNA interaction ability was studied in a cell-free assay. A positive correlation was found between cytotoxicity, lipophilicity and cellular accumulation of the tested complexes, and the results offer some important insights into the effects of the arene. The most obvious finding to emerge from this study is that the usually very chemosensitive CH1/PA-1 teratocarcinoma cells showed resistance to these phthiocol-based organometallics in comparison to the usually less chemosensitive SW480 colon carcinoma cells, which pilot experiments suggest as being related to NQO1 activity.

The role of Platinum(IV)-based antitumor drugs and the anticancer immune response in medicinal inorganic chemistry. A systematic review from 2017 to 2022. Eur J Med Chem 2022; 243:114680. [PMID: 36152386 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2022.114680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Platinum-based antitumor drugs have been used in many types of tumors due to its broad antitumor spectrum in clinic. Encouraged by the cisplatin's (CDDP) worldwide success in cancer chemotherapy, the research in platinum-based antitumor drugs has evolved from traditional platinum drug to multi-ligand and multifunctional platinum prodrugs over half a century. With the rapid development of metal drugs and the anticancer immune response, challenges and opportunities in platinum drug research have been shifted from traditional platinum-based drugs to platinum-based hybrids and the direction of development is tending toward photodynamic therapy, nano-delivery therapy, drug combination, targeted therapy, diagnostic therapy, immune-combination therapy and tumor stem cell therapy. In this review, we first exhaustively overviewed the role of platinum-based antitumor prodrugs and the anticancer immune response in medicinal inorganic chemistry based on the special nanomaterials, the modification of specific ligands, and the multiple functions obtained that are beneficial for tumor therapy in the last five years. We also categorized them according to drug potency and function. There hasn't been a comprehensive evaluation of precursor platinum drugs in prior articles. And a multifarious approach to distinguish and detail the variety of alterations of platinum-based precursors in various valence states also hasn't been summarized. In addition, this review points out the main problems at the interface of chemistry, biology, and medicine from their action mechanisms for current platinum drug development, and provides up-to-date potential strategies from drug design perspectives to circumvent those drawbacks. And a promising idea is also enlightened for researchers in the development and discovery of platinum prodrugs.

Abstract
Human thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) is a selenoprotein with a central role in cellular redox homeostasis, utilizing a highly reactive and solvent-exposed selenocysteine (Sec) residue in its active site. Pharmacological modulation of TrxR can be obtained with several classes of small compounds showing different mechanisms of action, but most often dependent upon interactions with its Sec residue. The clinical implications of TrxR modulation as mediated by small compounds have been studied in diverse diseases, from rheumatoid arthritis and ischemia to cancer and parasitic infections. The possible involvement of TrxR in these diseases was in some cases serendipitously discovered, by finding that existing clinically used drugs are also TrxR inhibitors. Inhibiting isoforms of human TrxR is, however, not the only strategy for human disease treatment, as some pathogenic parasites also depend upon Sec-containing TrxR variants, including S. mansoni, B. malayi or O. volvulus. Inhibiting parasite TrxR has been shown to selectively kill parasites and can thus become a promising treatment strategy, especially in the context of quickly emerging resistance towards other drugs. Here we have summarized the basis for the targeting of selenoprotein TrxR variants with small molecules for therapeutic purposes in different human disease contexts. We discuss how Sec engagement appears to be an indispensable part of treatment efficacy and how some therapeutically promising compounds have been evaluated in preclinical or clinical studies. Several research questions remain before a wider application of selenoprotein TrxR inhibition as a first-line treatment strategy might be developed. These include further mechanistic studies of downstream effects that may mediate treatment efficacy, identification of isoform-specific enzyme inhibition patterns for some given therapeutic compounds, and the further elucidation of cell-specific effects in disease contexts such as in the tumor microenvironment or in host-parasite interactions, and which of these effects may be dependent upon the specific targeting of Sec in distinct TrxR isoforms.

Abstract
The high fluorophilicity of borane-containing ligands offers promise for accessing new metallodrug candidates capable of bifunctional [18F]-positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, but this requires water soluble and hydrolytically stable ligands that can be fluorinated under mild conditions. Toward this goal, here we report the synthesis and characterization of water-soluble Pt(II) complexes containing a triaminoborane-bridged diphosphoramidite ligand called MeOTBDPhos that can be fluorinated using simple fluoride salts. NMR and XRD studies show that (MeOTBDPhos)PtCl2 (1) dissolves in water with cooperative H-OH addition across the bridgehead N-B bond to form 1-H2O. The B-OH bond in 1-H2O undergoes rapid displacement with fluoride (<10 min) when treated with CsF in MeCN to form 1-HF. 1-HF can also be prepared in <10 min by addition of KF to 1 in the presence Kryptofix® 222 and (HNEt3)Cl in MeCN. In addition to using fluoride salts, we show how mononuclear 1 can be fluorinated with HBF4·Et2O to form dinuclear [(MeOTBDPhos-HF)Pt(μ-Cl)]2(BF4)2 (4-HF). Comparative studies show that the B-F bond in 1-HF undergoes hydrolysis as soon as it is dissolved in water or saline, but the B-F bond persists for hours when the pH of the solution is lowered to pH ≤ 2. In contrast to 1-HF, the B-F bond in dinuclear 4-HF persists for days when dissolved in water, which may be attributed to slow, sacrificial release of fluoride from the BF4- anion. The results show how cooperative N-B reactivity on the ligand can be leveraged to rapidly fluorinate water-soluble MeOTBDPhos complexes under mild conditions and afford suggestions for how to enhance hydrolytic B-F stability, as required for use in biomedical applications.

Abstract
A series of platinum compounds 2a-5a and 2b-5b with fluoro-functional groups are designed and synthesized. Among them, complex 2b is the most effective agent with 3-hydroxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate as a leaving ligand, which showed better cytotoxic activity than compounds containing only CF3 or OH group at 3-position of cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate. The water solubility of 2a is better than that of carboplatin (32 mg/mL vs. 16 mg/mL), and its antitumor activity on A549 is 4.6-fold higher than that of carboplatin. The IC50 value of 2b on A549 cells is 4.73 ± 0.64 μM, which is comparable to that of oxaliplatin and higher than that of carboplatin. Meanwhile, 2a and 2b are less toxic than oxaliplatin and cisplatin toward BEAS-2B cells. Moreover, 2a and 2b induce cell apoptosis in vitro by the Bax-Bcl-2-caspase-3 pathway and ferroptosis through inhibiting GPx-4 and elevating COX2. Results from in vivo experiment show that the inhibition rate of A549 xenograft tumor is cisplatin > 2b > oxaliplatin > 2a > carboplatin.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes absorbing and emitting in the visible and near-IR regions are promising for the development of fluorescent probes for labeling and bio-visualization of body cells. The ability to absorb and emit in the long-wavelength region increases the efficiency of recording the spectral signals of the probes due to the higher permeability of the skin layers. Compared to other fluorescent dyes, BODIPYs are attractive due to their excellent photophysical properties-narrow absorption and emission, intense fluorescence, simple signal modulation for the practical applications. As part of conjugates with biomolecules, BODIPY could act as a biomarker, but as therapeutic agent, which allows solving several problems at once-labeling or bioimaging and treatment based on the suppression of pathogenic microflora and cancer cells, which provides a huge potential for practical application of BODIPY conjugates in medicine. The review is devoted to the discussion of the recent, promising directions of BODIPY application in the field of conjugation with biomolecules. The first direction is associated with the development of BODIPY conjugates with drugs, including compounds of platinum, paclitaxel, chlorambucil, isoxazole, capsaicin, etc. The second direction is devoted to the labeling of vitamins, hormones, lipids, and other biomolecules to control the processes of their transport, localization in target cells, and metabolism. Within the framework of the third direction, the problem of obtaining functional optically active materials by conjugating BODIPY with other colored and fluorescent particles, in particular, phthalocyanines, is being solved.

Abstract
Immunogenic cell death (ICD) can engage a specific immune response and establish a long-term immunity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we design and synthesize a series of Pt(II)-N-heterocyclic carbene (Pt(II)-NHC) complexes derived from 4,5-diarylimidazole, which show strong anticancer activities in vitro. Among them, 2c displays much higher anticancer activities than cisplatin and other Pt(II)-NHC complexes, especially in HCC cancer cells. In addition, we find that 2c is a type II ICD inducer, which can successfully induce endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) accompanied by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and finally lead to the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in HCC cells. Importantly, 2c shows a great anti-HCC potential in a vaccination mouse model and leads to the in vivo immune cell activation in the CCl4-induced liver injury model.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a remarkable alternative or complementary technique to chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy to treat certain forms of cancer. The synergistic effect of light, photosensitizer (PS) and oxygen allows for the treatment of tumours with an extremely high spatio-tumoral control, therefore minimizing the severe side effects usually observed in chemotherapy. The currently employed PDT PSs based on porphyrins have, in some cases, some limitations, which include a low absorbance in the therapeutic window, a low body clearance, photobleaching, among others. In this context, Ru(ii) polypyridyl complexes are interesting alternatives. They have low lying excited energy states and the presence of a heavy metal increases the possibility of spin-orbit coupling. Moreover, their photophysical properties are relatively easy to tune and they have very low photobleaching rates. All of these make them attractive candidates for further development as therapeutically suitable PDT PSs. In this review, after having presented this field of research, we discuss the developments made by our group in this field of research since 2017. We notably describe how we tuned the photophysical properties of our complexes from the visible region to the therapeutically suitable red region. This was accompanied by the preparation of PSs with enhanced phototoxicity and high phototoxicity index. We also discuss the use of two-photon excitation to eradicate tumours in nude mice. Furthermore, we describe our approach for the selective delivery of our complexes using targeting agents. Lastly, we report on our very recent synergistic approach to treat cancer using bimetallic Ru(ii)-Pt(iv) prodrug candidates.

Abstract
The role of platinum basis set (PTBS) and relativistic effects for predicting the vibrational frequencies and intramolecular force constants for cisplatin are discussed. Nonrelativistic and relativistic computational protocols were built at B3LYP/PTBS/jorge-DZP/C-PCM and B3LYP-DKH2/PTBS/jorge-DZP-DKH/C-PCM levels, respectively, where 19 distinct PTBS were tested. As expected, the structural parameters were not very sensitive to the PTBS, however, the inclusion of relativistic effects improves the description of the cisplatin structure. When it comes to the vibrational frequencies, the results show that the PTBS, and mainly the relativistic effects, are both important. Moreover, the PBE0 functional led to better results than B3LYP in the protocols PBE0/LANL2TZ(f)/jorge-DZP/C-PCM (P20) and PBE0-DKH2/Sapporo-DKH3-DZP-2012/jorge-DZP-DKH/C-PCM (P22), which provided a mean absolute deviation (MAD) of only 10.8 cm-1 and 9.5 cm-1, respectively, for vibrational frequencies, which are excellent choices to study Pt complexes. Finally, a discussion of the intramolecular force constants for cisplatin is carried out, with the calculated bond and angles force constants with P20 and P22 protocols being recommended for the parameterization of the force field of cisplatin.

Abstract
The synergistic combination of the anticancer drug carboplatin and the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO) served as a foundation for the development of novel multifunctional prodrugs. Hence, five platinum(iv) complexes, featuring the equatorial coordination sphere of carboplatin, and one or two DFO units incorporated at axial positions, were synthesized and characterized using ESI-HRMS, multinuclear (1H, 13C, 15N, 195Pt) NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Analytical studies demonstrated that the chelating properties of the DFO moiety were not compromised after coupling to the platinum(iv) core. The cytotoxic activity of the compounds was evaluated in monolayer (2D) and spheroid (3D) cancer cell models, derived from ovarian teratocarcinoma (CH1/PA-1), colon carcinoma (SW480) and non-small cell lung cancer (A549). The platinum(iv)-DFO prodrugs demonstrated moderate in vitro cytotoxicity (a consequence of their slow activation kinetics) but with less pronounced differences between intrinsically chemoresistant and chemosensitive cell lines as well as between 2D and 3D models than the clinically used platinum(ii) drug carboplatin.

Abstract
Platinum group elements (PGEs) are among the least abundant in the continental crust. They have become excellent tracers of anthropogenic activities, particularly due to their use in catalytic converters or in the medical industry. However, their quantification in environmental matrices is still problematic because of their low concentrations combined with the presence of interfering elements. Preconcentration methods are therefore necessary to measure accurate concentrations. In this study, the quantification of Ir, Rh, Ru, Pd and Pt was studied in depth by focusing on two resins: AG MP-1 (anion exchange) and Purolite® S-920 (chelating) with the aim of developing passive Diffusive Gradients in Thin films (DGT) samplers as in-situ pre-concentration tools. The characteristics of both resins (e.g. adsorption, elution, selectivity, etc.) were studied and the diffusion coefficients of PGEs in different matrices were determined. For the first time, carcinostatic platinum-based drugs were also studied. Better rates and percentages of adsorption were observed for S-920 while AG MP-1 was more selective with regard to spectral interferents and easier to elute. The diffusion coefficients of PGEs were resin-dependent, particularly for carcinostatic platinum-based drugs. For the first time, the applicability of these DGT samplers dedicated to PGEs was demonstrated in the field after their deployment in two wastewater treatment plants in Northern France for which concentrations were found to range from few pg L-1 (Ir, Ru) to few ng L-1 (Pt).

Abstract
The osmium(vi) nitrido complex [OsVI(N)(sap)(py)Cl] is a potential anti-cancer drug with promising in vitro antiproliferative activities toward a panel of cancer cell lines, including cisplatin-resistant cells (IC50 values of 2.8-13.8 μM). This drug targets DNA and changes its conformation via covalent binding and insertion. In vitro studies indicate that the drug induces HepG2 cells G2/M phase arrest, disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential and causes caspase-mediated apoptosis. Further in vivo studies using HepG2-bearing nude mice reveal that this drug not only shows good antitumor efficacy of inhibiting tumor growth, but also does not show the side effect of weight loss.

Abstract
The effective application of cisplatin in the clinic as an antitumor treatment has stimulated widespread interest in inorganic metal drugs. In particular, complexes containing the transition metals platinum and gold have attracted considerable attention due to their antitumor effects. The Pt(II) and Au(III) Schiff-base complexes are potential antitumor agents because of their remarkable biological activities and good stability, lipophilicity, and electroluminescent properties. These complexes act via various antitumor mechanisms that are unlike those of the classic platinum drugs, providing a feasible solution for improving the serious side effects caused by metal chemotherapy. In this review, promising antitumor agents based on Pt(II) and Au(III) complexes containing Schiff-base ligands, and their biological targets, including G-quadruplex DNA and thioredoxin reductase, are comprehensively summarized.

Abstract
Guanine quadruplex recognition has gained increasing attention, inspired by the growing awareness of the key roles played by these non-canonical nucleic acid architectures in cellular regulatory processes. We report here the solution and solid-state studies of a novel planar platinum(II) complex that is easily assembled from a simple ligand, and exhibits notable binding affinity for guanine quadruplex structures, while maintaining good selectivity for guanine quadruplex over duplex structures. A crystal structure of this ligand complexed with a telomeric quadruplex confirms double end-capping, with dimerization at the 5' interface.

Abstract
In this perspective, we discuss iron-complexes as drug candidates that are promising alternatives to conventional platinum-based chemotherapies owing to their broad range of reactivities and to the targeting of different biological systems. Breakthroughs in the comprehension of iron complexes' structure-activity relationship contributed to the clarification of their metabolization pathways, sub-cellular localization and influence on iron homeostasis, while enlightening the primary molecular targets of theses likely multi-target metallodrugs. Both the antiproliferative activity and elevated safety index observed among the family of iron complexes showed encouraging results as per their therapeutic potential and selectivity also with the aim of reducing chemotherapy side-effects, and facilitated more pre-clinical investigations. The purpose of this perspective is to summarize the recent advances that contributed in unveiling the intricate relationships between the structural modifications on iron-complexes and their reactivity, cellular trafficking and global mechanisms of action to broaden their use as anticancer drugs and advance to clinical evaluation.

Abstract
Effective pharmacological treatments for patients with advanced clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) are limited. Bimetallic titanium-gold containing compounds exhibit significant cytotoxicity against ccRCC in vitro and in vivo and inhibit invasion and angiogenisis in vitro and markers driving these phenomena. However, in vivo preclinical evaluations of such compounds have not examined their pharmacokinetics, pathology, and hematology. Here we use NOD.CB17-Prkdc SCID/J mice bearing xenograft ccRCC Caki-1 tumors to evaluate the in vivo efficacies of two titanium-gold compounds Titanocref and Titanofin (based on auranofin analogue scaffolds) accompanied by pharmacokinetic and pathology studies. A therapeutic trial was performed over 21 days at 5 mg/kg/72h of Titanocref and 10 mg/kg/72h of Titanofin tracking changes in tumor size. We observed a significant reduction of 51% and 60%, respectively (p < 0.01) in tumor size in the Titanocref- and Titanofin-treated mice compared to the starting size, while the vehicle-treated mice exhibited a tumor size increase of 138% (p < 0.01). Importantly, no signs of pathological complication as a result of treatment were found. In addition, Titanocref and Titanofin treatment reduced angiogenesis by 38% and 54%, respectively. Microarray and qRT-PCR analysis of ccRCC Caki-1 cells treated with Titanocref revealed that the compound alters apoptosis, JNK MAP kinase, and ROS pathways within 3 h of treatment. We further show activation of apoptosis by Titanocref and Titanofin in vivo by caspase 3 assay. Titanocref is active against additional kidney cancer cells. Titanocref and Titanofin are therefore promising candidates for further evaluation toward clinical application in the treatment of ccRCC.

Abstract
Nickel(II) complexes [Ni(cur)(L)2](OAc) (1-3) where L is N,N-donor heterocyclic bases namely 1,10-phenanthroline (phen in 1), dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq in 2), dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz in 3) and Hcur is curcumin were prepared, fully characterized and light-induced in vitro anticancer activity studied. Three nickel(II) complexes containing acetylacetonato (Hacac) ligand, viz.[Ni(acac)(L)2](OAc) (4-6) where L is phen (in 4), dpq (in 5), dppz (in 6) were prepared and used as controls. Complex 4 was structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique, which revealed an octahedral NiN4O2 geometry around the metal centre. Complexes 1-3 showed an intense curcumin-based band at ∼440 nm in DMSO-Tris-HCl buffer (pH = 7.2) (1:4 v/v) which masks the nickel based d-d band. The curcumin comlexes (1-3) were redox inactive at the nickel centre, whereas the acetylacetonato complexes (4-6) displayed an irreversible voltammetric response at ∼1.00 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode in DMF. The complexes bind to calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) with considerable affinity and interacted with human serum albumin (HSA) with moderate affinity. The Ni(II) curcumin complexes display significant in vitro light-induced cytotoxicity in HeLa (human cervical carcinoma) and A549 (lung cancer cells) involving reactive oxygen species (ROS), with very low dark toxicity. The complexes were found to be much less toxic to immortalized lung epithelial normal cells (HPL1D). Confocal microscopic images using complex 2 and 3 showed that they primarily localize in the cytosol of A549 cells. The mechanism of cell death is mainly apoptosis in nature showing arrest of sub-G1 phase of cell cycle progression in A549 cells under visible light exposure and involves significant loss of mitochondrial membrane potential as observed from JC-1 assay.

Abstract
A series of octahedral platinum(IV) complexes functionalized with both N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized according to a straightforward procedure and characterized. The coordination sphere around the metal was varied, investigating the influence of the substituted NHC and the amine ligand in trans position to the NHC. The influence of those structural variations on the chemical shift of the platinum center were evaluated by 195Pt NMR. This spectroscopy provided more insights on the impact of the structural changes on the electronic density at the platinum center. Investigation of the in vitro cytotoxicities of representative complexes were carried on three cancer cell lines and showed IC50 values down to the low micromolar range that compare favorably with the benchmark cisplatin or their platinum(II) counterparts bearing NHC ligands.

Abstract
The bimetallic metal complex Titanocref exhibits relevant anticancer activity, but it is unknown if it is stable to reach target tissues intact. To gain insight, a pharmacologically relevant dose was added to human blood plasma and the mixture was incubated at 37 °C. The obtained mixture was analyzed 5 and 60 min later by size-exclusion chromatography hyphenated to an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (SEC-ICP-AES). We simultaneously detected several titanium (Ti), gold (Au) and sulfur (S)-peaks, which corresponded to a Ti degradation product that eluted partially, and a Au degradation product that eluted entirely bound to plasma proteins (both time points). Although ~70% of the intact Titanocref was retained on the column after 60 min, our results allowed us to establish - for the first time - its likely degradation pathway in human plasma at near physiological conditions. These results suggest that ~70% of Titanocref remain in plasma after 60 min, which supports results from a recent in vivo study in which mice were treated with Titanocref and revealed Ti:Au molar ratios in tumors and organs close to 1:1. Thus, our stability studies suggest that the intact drug is able to reach target tissue. Overall, our results exemplify that SEC-ICP-AES enables the execution of intermediate in vitro studies with human plasma in the context of advancing bimetallic metal-based drugs to more costly clinical studies.

Abstract
RuII -arene complexes provide a versatile scaffold for novel anticancer drugs. Seven new RuII -arene-thiocarboxylato dimers were synthesized and characterized. Three of the complexes (2 a, b and 5) showed promising antiproliferative activities in MDA-MB-231 (human invasive breast cancer) cells, and were further tested in a panel of fifteen cancerous and noncancerous cell lines. Complex 5 showed moderate but remarkably selective activity in MDA-MB-231 cells (IC50 =39±4 μm Ru). Real-time proliferation studies showed that 5 induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells but had no effect in A549 (human lung cancer, epithelial) cells. By contrast, 2 a and b showed moderate antiproliferative activity, but no apoptosis, in either cell line. Selective cytotoxicity of 5 in aggressive, mesenchymal-like MDA-MB-231 cells over many common epithelial cancer cell lines (including noninvasive breast cancer MCF-7) makes it an attractive lead compound for the development of specifically antimetastatic Ru complexes with low systemic toxicity.

Abstract
Effective pharmacological treatments for patients with advanced clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC) are limited. Bimetallic titanium-gold containing compounds exhibit significant cytotoxicity against ccRCC in vitro and in vivo and inhibit invasion and angiogenisis in vitro and markers driving these phenomena. However, in vivo preclinical evaluations of such compounds have not examined their pharmacokinetics, pathology, and hematology. Here we use NOD.CB17-Prkdc SCID/J mice bearing xenograft ccRCC Caki-1 tumors to evaluate the in vivo efficacies of two titanium-gold compounds Titanocref and Titanofin (based on auranofin analogue scaffolds) accompanied by pharmacokinetic and pathology studies. A therapeutic trial was performed over 21 days at 5 mg/kg/72h of Titanocref and 10 mg/kg/72h of Titanofin tracking changes in tumor size. We observed a significant reduction of 51% and 60%, respectively (p < 0.01) in tumor size in the Titanocref- and Titanofin-treated mice compared to the starting size, while the vehicle-treated mice exhibited a tumor size increase of 138% (p < 0.01). Importantly, no signs of pathological complication as a result of treatment were found. In addition, Titanocref and Titanofin treatment reduced angiogenesis by 38% and 54%, respectively. Microarray and qRT-PCR analysis of ccRCC Caki-1 cells treated with Titanocref revealed that the compound alters apoptosis, JNK MAP kinase, and ROS pathways within 3 h of treatment. We further show activation of apoptosis by Titanocref and Titanofin in vivo by caspase 3 assay. Titanocref is active against additional kidney cancer cells. Titanocref and Titanofin are therefore promising candidates for further evaluation toward clinical application in the treatment of ccRCC.

Abstract
In this article, a new compound H2[{Cu(HL)(H2O)}2(P2Mo5O23)]·5H2O (1) (HL = 2-acetylpyrazine thiosemicarbazone) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of and other detection techniques. Interestingly, the structure of 1 is different from many reported copper-based complexes, in which the [P2Mo5O23]6-, two Cu2+ ions and two HL were directly connected by covalent bands. Biological studies demonstrated that 1 indicated moderate antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and a better cytotoxicity against human hepatic cancer line (SMMC-7721) than Mitoxantrone (Mito), the current clinical anticancer drug. Besides, the antibacterial mechanisms of 1 have been studied by the membrane integrity disruption, the destructive reactive oxygen species generation (ROS), the glutathione (GSH) depletion and the depressed enzymatic activity of respiratory chain dehydrogenases (RCD). These results revealed that the combination of HL, Cu2+, [P2Mo5O23]6- shows a higher antibacterial and cytotoxic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few effective treatments for patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). Recent findings indicate that ruthenium-gold containing compounds exhibit significant antitumor efficacy against CCRCC in vitro affecting cell viability as well as angiogenesis and markers driving those 2 phenomena. However, no in vivo preclinical evaluation of this class of compounds has been reported. METHODS Following the dose-finding pharmacokinetic determination, NOD.CB17-Prkdc SCID/J mice bearing xenograft CCRCC Caki-1 tumors were treated in an intervention trial for 21 days at 10 mg/kg/72h of RANCE-1. At the end of the trial, tumor samples were analyzed for histopathological and changes in protein expression levels were assessed. RESULTS After 21 days of treatment there was no significant change in tumor size in the RANCE-1-treated mice as compared to the starting size (+3.87%) (P = 0.082) while the vehicle treated mice exhibited a significant tumor size increase (+138%) (P < 0.01). There were no signs of pathological complications as a result of treatment. Significant reduction in the expression of VEGF, PDGF, FGF, EGFR, and HGRF, all key to the proliferation of tumor cells and stromal cells serving protumorigenic purposes was observed. CONCLUSIONS The tumor growth inhibition displayed and favorable pathology profile of RANCE-1 makes it a promising candidate for further evaluation toward clinical use for the treatment of advanced CCRCC.
