Abstract
A new Ru(II) arene chlorido organometallic complex [(η6-p-cymene)(L)RuCl]PF6 (named as pCYRuL) using 2-bis(quinolin-2-ylmethylene) hydrazine (L) was developed that exhibits potent anticancer activity against castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) (IC50 = 0.71 μM), and it is 45 times more effective than the standard drug cisplatin (IC50 = 31.3 μM) in a castration-resistant human prostatic adenocarcinoma cell line (PC-3) but non-toxic in normal human kidney cells (HK2) as well as normal breast cells (MCF10A) and found that pCYRuL exerted anticancer activity via apoptosis induction and cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase of PC-3 cells.

[PMID: 36983535 PMCID: PMC10056554 DOI: 10.3390/jof9030367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Fusarium wilt is a severe and worldwide disease in potato cultivation. In this study, Fusarium foetens was first identified as the pathogen of potato wilt. Bacillus subtilis SF1 has the potential for controlling potato wilt induced by F. foetens, resulting in a mycelium growth inhibition of 52.50 ± 2.59% in vitro and a significant decrease in incidence rate by 45.56% in vivo. This research highlighted the antifungal activity of surfactin from B. subtilis SF1 and attempted to reveal the unknown antifungal mechanisms. Surfactin inhibited F. foetens mycelium growth beyond the concentration of 20 μg/μL. Surfactin-treated mycelium appeared to have morphological malformation. Surfactin enhanced reduced glutathione production and caused the increase in values of the extracellular fluids in OD260 and OD280. Surfactin induced differential protein expression and changed the genes’ transcription levels. Surfactin binds to fungal DNA via groove-binding mode, with a binding constant of Kb 2.97 × 104 M−1. Moreover, B. subtilis SF1 harbored genes encoding plant-promoting determinants, making potato seedlings grow vigorously. The results will help provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of surfactin against filamentous fungi and the application of surfactin-producing microbial in the biocontrol of plant pathogenic fungi.

Abstract
Nine tridentate Schiff base ligands of the type (N^N^O) were synthesized from reactions of primary amines {2-picolylamine (Py), N-phenyl-1,2-diaminobenzene (PhN), and N-phenyl-1,2-diaminoethane(EtN)} and salicylaldehyde derivatives {3-ethoxy (OEt), 4-diethylamine (NEt2) and 4-hydroxy (OH)}. Complexes with the general formula Pt(N^N^O)Cl were synthesized by reacting K2PtCl4 with the ligands in DMSO/ethanol mixtures. The ligands and their complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The DNA-binding behaviours of the platinum(ii) complexes were investigated by two techniques, indicating good binding affinities and a two-stage binding process for seven complexes: intercalation followed by switching to a covalent binding mode over time. The other two complexes covalently bond to ct-DNA without intercalation. Theoretical calculations were used to shed light on the electronic and steric factors that lead to the difference in DNA-binding behavior. The reactions of some platinum complexes with guanine were investigated experimentally and theoretically. The binding of the complexes with bovine serum albumin (BSA) indicated a static interaction with higher binding affinities for the ethoxy-containing complexes. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values against MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines suggest that platinum complexes with tridentate ligands of N-phenyl-o-phenylenediamine or pyridyl with 3-ethoxysalicylimine are good chemotherapeutic candidates. Pt-Py-OEt and Pt-PhN-OEt have IC50 values against MCF-7 of 13.27 and 10.97 μM, respectively, compared to 18.36 μM for cisplatin, while they have IC50 values against HepG2 of 6.99 and 10.15 μM, respectively, compared to 19.73 μM for cisplatin. The cell cycle interference behaviour with HepG2 of selected complexes is similar to that of cisplatin, suggesting apoptotic cell death. The current work highlights the impact of the tridentate ligand on the biological properties of platinum complexes. The article illustrates the design flexibility of tridentate ligands and the resultant platinum complexes, highlighting the impact of this design flexibility on the anticancer potential.![]()

Abstract
Cyanide is a very toxic pollutant to aquatic life and the environment. Analytical methods for the quantitative assay of cyanide, which are rapid, sensitive (low limit of detection), and cost-effective, are in great demand. Colorimetric and fluorometric methods are ideally suited for this purpose. In this report, we describe a Ni(II) complex containing a pyridoxal platform for the rapid and sensitive fluorometric estimation of cyanide. The square-planar Ni(II) complex, [Ni(L)(N3)]·3H2O, where the ligand LH = 4-[(2-dimethylamino-ethylimino)-methyl]-5-hydroxymtheyl-2-methyl-pyridin-3-ol, a Schiff base formed between pyridoxal and (2-dimethylamino)ethyl amine, was synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques as well as by single-crystal X-ray structure determination. The complex was found to selectively bind CN- in the presence of other biologically important anions such as F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, OAc-, S2-, NO3 -, PO4 3-, SO4 2-, and H2PO4 - in tris-HCl/NaCl buffer [pH = 7.4], and it can be monitored by fluorescence turn-on or by UV-visible spectroscopy. The binding constant of the complex with CN- was estimated to be 2.046 × 1014 M-2 and the limit of detection (LOD) was 9 nM, the LOD being considerably lower than the maximum permissible level of cyanide ions (1.9 μM) in drinking water, as recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). The effects of pH and temperature on the sensing are also investigated. The Ni(II) complex is also found to bind to calf-thymus DNA very strongly, and the apparent binding constant (K app) was determined to be 1.33 × 107 M-1 by the fluorescence quenching of the ethidium bromide-DNA adduct by the complex.

Abstract
Benzenesulfonamide-based imine compounds 5-8 were prepared and screened for their binding properties to the FSdsDNA. The structures of synthesized compounds were elucidated by the spectroscopic and analytical methods. Compounds 5-8 were screened for their interactions with the FSdsDNA. Compound 8 showed the highest binding affinity to the FSdsDNA with intrinsic binding constant of 3.10 × 104 M-1. The compounds caused the quenching of the DNA-EB emission indicating displacement of EB (ethidium bromide) from the FSdsDNA. Finally, the binding interactions between the DNA and binder molecules 5-8 were examined by the molecular docking studies. The compounds locate approximately same region of the minor groove of DNA via hydrogen bonding contacts between the sulfonamide oxygen atoms and the DG10/DG16 nucleotides of DNA.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Three tridentate Schiff base ligands were synthesized from the reactions between 2-picolylamine and salicylaldehyde derivatives (3-ethoxy (OEt), 4-diethylamino (NEt2) and 4-hydroxy (OH)). Complexes with the general formula Pt(N^N^O)Cl were obtained from reactions between the ligands and K2PtCl4. The ligands and their complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Further confirmation of the structure of Pt-OEt was achieved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The DMSO/chlorido exchange process at Pt-OEt was investigated by monitoring the change in conductivity, revealing very slow dissociation in DMSO. Moreover, solvent/chlorido exchange for Pt-OEt and Pt-NEt2 were investigated by NMR spectroscopy in DMSO and DMSO/D2O; Pt-NEt2 forms an adduct with DMSO while Pt-OEt forms adducts with DMSO and water. The DNA-binding behaviour of the platinum(ii) complexes was investigated by two techniques. Pt-NEt2 has the best apparent binding constant. The intercalation mode of interaction with ct-DNA was suggested by molecular docking studies and the increase in the relative viscosity of ct-DNA with increasing concentrations of the platinum(ii) complexes. However, the gradual decrease in the relative viscosity over time at constant concentration of platinum(ii) complexes indicated a shift from intercalation to a covalent binding mode. Anticancer activities of the ligands and their platinum(ii) complexes were examined against two cell lines. The platinum(ii) complexes exhibit superior cytotoxicity to that of their ligands. Among the platinum(ii) complexes, Pt-OEt possesses the best IC50 against both cell lines, its cytotoxicity being comparable to that observed for cisplatin. Cell cycle arrest in the HepG2 cell line upon treatment with Pt-OEt and Pt-NEt2 was investigated and compared to that of cisplatin; the change in the cell accumulation patterns supports the presumption of an apoptotic cell death pathway. The optimized structures of the B-DNA trimer adducts with the platinum complexes showed hydrogen-bonding interactions between the ligands and nucleobases, affecting the inter-strand hydrogen bonding within the DNA, and highlighting the strong ability of the complexes to induce conformational changes in the DNA, leading to the activation of apoptotic cell death. In summary, the current study demonstrates promising new anticancer platinum(ii) complexes with highly flexible tridentate ligands; the functional groups on the ligands are important in tuning their DNA binding/anticancer properties.

Abstract
Two water-soluble nickel (II) Schiff base complexes were prepared and their interaction with fish sperm DNA (FS-DNA) was investigated by various methods including UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and viscometric measurements. Complex 1: [N,N'-bis{5-[(triphenyl phosphonium chloride)-methyl] salicylidine}-3,4-diaminobenzophenone]nickel(II) perchloride dihydrate: [Ni(5-CH2PPh3-3,4-salophen)] (ClO4)2.2 H2O was synthesized as a new complex and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Complex 2: sodium [(N,N'-bis(5-sulfosalicyliden)-3, 4-diaminobenzophenone)aqua] nickel(II) hydrate: Na2[Ni (5-SO3-3,4-salbenz)(H2O)]. H2O was already synthesized by our research team, but in this study, its function as a DNA-binding compound was tested, and compared with the results of complex 1-DNA binding. The calculation of different constants using absorption and emission data, all confirmed the stronger binding ability of complex 1 than complex 2 with DNA. Different thermodynamic parameters showed the interactions between DNA and complexes were the type of hydrophobic interaction for complex 1 and electrostatic interaction for complex 2. Also, the negative values of free energy changes proved a spontaneous DNA binding process. Based on cell toxicity assay against two different cell lines including Jurkat and MCF-7, the effect of complex 1 was comparable to cisplatin, and the toxicity mechanism was further justified by bright field microscopy, flow cytometry, and cleavage of DNA in the presence of H2O2. Besides, the docking calculations suggested intercalation after measuring the lowest-energy between the complexes and DNA. For both complexes, all analytical, spectroscopic, and molecular modeling methods supported partial intercalation as the main binding mode between the complexes and DNA.

Abstract
This report describes synthesis of two ruthenium(II) ENE pincer complexes (E = S, C1 and E = Se, C2 ) by the reaction of bis(2-(phenylchalcogenyl)ethyl)amine ( L1 , L2 ) with RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 3 . The complexes were characterized with the help of 1 H and 13 C{ 1 H} NMR, FTIR, HRMS, cyclic voltammetry and elemental analysis techniques. The structure and bonding mode of ligand with ruthenium in C2 was established with the help of single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex showed distorted octahedral geometry with two chlorine atoms trans to each other. The Ru-Se bond distances (Å) are 2.4564(3)-2.4630(3), Ru-N distance is 2.181(2), Ru-P distance is 2.2999(6), and Ru-Cl distances are 2.4078(6)-2.4314(6). The complexes showed good to excellent catalytic activity for the N -alkylation of 1,2-phenylenediamine with benzyl alcohol derivatives to synthesize 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives. The complexes were also found to be efficient for aerobic oxidation of benzyl alcohols to corresponding aldehydes which are precursors to the bisimines generated in situ during the synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted benzimidazole derivatives. Complex C2 where selenium is coordinated with ruthenium was found to be more efficient as compared to sulfur coordinated ruthenium complex C1 . Since ruthenium complexes are getting increasing attention for developing new anticancer agents, the preliminary studies like binding behavior of both the complexes towards CT-DNA were studied by competitive binding with ethidium bromide (EthBr) using emission spectroscopy. In addition, the interactions of C1-C2 were also studied with bovine serum albumin (BSA) using steady state fluorescence quenching and synchronous fluorescence studies. A good stability of Ru(II) state was observed by cyclic voltammetric studies of C1-C2 . Overall these molecules are good examples of bio-organometallic systems for catalytic and biological applications.

Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the most common therapeutics used in treatments of several types of cancers. To enhance cisplatin lipophilicity and reduce resistance and side effects, a polyfluorinated bipyridine-modified cisplatin analogue, dichloro[4,4’-bis(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)methyl)-2,2’-bipryridine] platinum (TFBPC), was synthesized and therapeutic assessments were performed. TFBPC displayed superior effects in inhibiting the proliferation of several cisplatin-resistant human cancer cell lines, including MDA-MB-231 breast cancers, COLO205 colon cancers and SK-OV-3 ovarian cancers. TFBPC bound to DNA and formed DNA crosslinks that resulted in DNA degradation, triggering the cell death program through the PARP/Bax/Bcl-2 apoptosis and LC3-related autophagy pathway. Moreover, TFBPC significantly inhibited tumor growth in both animal models which include a cell line-derived xenograft model (CDX) of cisplatin-resistant MDA-MB-231, and a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs). Furthermore, the biopsy specimen from TFBPC-treated xenografts revealed decreased expressions of P53, Ki-67 and PD-L1 coupled with higher expression of cleaved caspase 3, suggesting TFBPC treatment was effective and resulted in good prognostic indications. No significant pathological changes were observed in hematological and biochemistry tests in blood and histological examinations from the specimen of major organs. Therefore, TFBPC is a potential candidate for treatments of patients suffering from TNBCs as well as other cisplatin-resistant cancers.

[PMID: 35425175 PMCID: PMC8979008 DOI: 10.1039/d1ra07793g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
A novel Pd(ii) double complex, [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4], containing the 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine (BAPP) ligand is investigated. X-ray crystallography of a single crystal confirmed the structure of the [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4] complex. The spectroscopic behavior was also elucidated using elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4] complex against all tested microbial strains was lower than that of the BAPP ligand except for C. albicans. The cytotoxic impacts of the BAPP ligand and its [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4] complex were evaluated in vitro for HepG2, CaCo-2 and MCF7 cell lines as well as the WI-38 normal cell line. The anticancer activity was markedly improved by the complexation. The [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4] complex could selectively inhibit the tested cancer cells in a safe way to the non-tumorigenic cell (WI-38). From the DNA binding studies with ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, the [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4] complex interacts more efficiently with the calf thymus DNA than its BAPP ligand through the intercalative binding mode. In the absence of an external reductant, the [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4] complex cleaved the intact supercoiled pBR322 DNA under physiological conditions in a concentration-dependent manner. Additionally, electrophoretic experiments were performed in the presence of different radical scavengers, namely DMSO, NaN3 and KI, and ruled out the hydrolytic mechanistic pathway of the reaction and suggested that the oxidative mechanism is the preferred one. The results of the binding affinity of the [Pd(BAPP)][PdCl4] complex to human DNA were modeled using a molecular docking study showing that the complex interacts more strongly with human DNA than the ligand. Finally, an in vitro pharmacokinetic study was assessed through in silico ADME predictions.

Abstract
A new palladium(II) complex entitled [Pd(phendione)(8Q)]NO3, (PdPQ), where phendione is N,N-donor heterocyclic 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dion and 8Q is 8-hydroxyquinolinate, has been synthesized and then characterized by molar conductivity, CHN analysis and spectral data (UV-Vis, FT-IR, NMR). DFT/ TDDFT procedures were also performed to determine the electronic structure and the nature of the electronic transitions of PdPQ. Moreover, the affinity and binding properties of DNA to the desired complex have been studied in details using electronic absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism spectroscopies, and viscosity measurement in combination with molecular docking technique. The obtained results exhibit relatively high DNA binding values with a static quenching mechanism, which suggest that an intercalative mode plays a peridominate role in interaction process concluded by experimental/theoretical measurements. As a result of drug exposure, in vitro cytotoxicity assay demonstrated the antiproliferative activity of the PdPQ against leukemia cancer cell line, K562.

Abstract
As an important nuclear substructure, the nucleolus has received increasing attention because of its significant functions in the transcription and processing of ribosomal RNA in eukaryotic cells. In this work, we introduce a proof-of-concept luminescence assay to detect RNA and to accomplish nucleolus imaging with the use of the supramolecular self-assembly of platinum(II) complexes. Noncovalent interactions between platinum(II) complexes and RNA can be induced by the introduction of a guanidinium group into the complexes, and accordingly, a high RNA affinity can be achieved. Interestingly, the aggregation affinities of platinum(II) complexes enable them to display remarkable luminescence turn-on upon RNA binding, which is a result of the strengthening of noncovalent Pt(II)···Pt(II) and π-π stacking interactions. The complexes exhibit not only intriguing spectroscopic changes and luminescence enhancement after RNA binding but also specific nucleolus imaging in cells. As compared to fluorescent dyes, the low-energy red luminescence and large Stokes shifts of platinum(II) complexes afford a high signal-to-background autofluorescence ratio in nucleolus imaging. Additional properties, including long phosphorescence lifetimes and low cytotoxicity, have endowed the platinum(II) complexes with the potential for biological applications. Also, platinum(II) complexes have been adopted to monitor the dynamics of the nucleolus induced by the addition of RNA synthesis inhibitors. This capability allows the screening of inhibitors and can be advantageous for the development of antineoplastic agents. This work provides a novel strategy for exploring the application of platinum(II) complex-based cell imaging agents based on the mechanism of supramolecular self-assembly. It is envisaged that platinum(II) complexes can be utilized as valuable probes because of the aforementioned appealing advantages.

Abstract
A simple approach to synthesize new highly substituted 4H-pyran derivatives is described. Efficient Et3N acts as a readily accessible catalyst of this process performed in pure water and with only a 20 mol% of catalyst loading. The extremely simple operational methodology, short reaction times, clean procedure and excellent product yields render this new approach extremely appealing for the synthesis of 4H-pyrans, as potentially biological scaffolds. Additionally, DNA interaction analysis reveals that 4H-pyran derivatives behave preferably as minor groove binders over major groove or intercalators. Therefore, this is one of the scarce examples where pyrans have resulted to be interesting DNA binders with high binding constants (Kb ranges from 1.53 × 104 M-1 to 2.05 × 106 M-1).

Abstract
Six zinc(II) complexes, [Zn(OCOPh)2LR] (R = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) were synthesized by the reaction of zinc benzoate and six para-substituted 4-phenyl-terpyridine complexes and their structures were confirmed by elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Their photoluminescent properties in solid and in solutions of DMSO were studied. Three human cancer cell lines were used for antiproliferative potential: human lung cancer cell line (A549), human esophageal cancer cell line (Eca-109) and human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The results have shown that these zinc complexes have good inhibitory effects on cancer cells, which are better than that of the commonly used clinical drug cisplatin. The ability of the complexes to binding to CT-DNA was studied by UV spectroscopy and fluorescence titration, while the interaction between the complexes and CT-DNA, AT6, GC6 short-chain DNA sequences and G-quadruplex were analyzed by circular dichroism (CD). It is found that these complexes can bind to DNA, and the binding mode is mainly intercalator. The docking of the complexes with the DNA fragment was simulated using molecular docking software. All the results clearly display that the substituents at these ligands of the complexes have the substitution effects on the properties of photoluminescence, antiproliferative potential and DNA binding study.

Abstract
Two platinum(II) coordination compounds, [PtCl(4'-R1-terpy)](SO3CF3) (1) and [PtCl(4'-R2-terpy)](SO3CF3) (2), with 4'-(2-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (4'-R1-terpy) or 4'-(3-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine (4'-R2-terpy) were synthesized and the impact of the pendant pyridyl ring on the structure and cytotoxic activity of Pt(II)-terpyridine complexes was explored. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed square planar coordination of the cations [PtCl(4'-Rn-terpy)]+. The mode of binding of 1 and 2 to calf thymus DNA was examined by UV-Vis absorption titration, ethidium displacement assay and reaction with 9-ethylguanine, and the mixed covalent-intercalative mode was demonstrated. The cytotoxicity of the Pt(II) complexes against six cancer cell lines and three normal ones was determined using MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) assay and compared to cisplatin. The IC50 values for the compound 2 towards the cancer cell lines are in the low micromolar range. Most remarkably, 2 was over 4 times more effective than 1 and cisplatin against non-small lung adenocarcinoma (A549), and its selectivity index was ~60-80 times higher than that for 1 and cisplatin. The mechanisms underlying the loss of viability under treatment of 2 was further investigated including F-actin staining, mitotic index analysis, cytometric cell cycle analysis, Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) -conjugated Annexin V antibody and propidium iodide (PI) staining, measurements of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells, analysis of changes in the mitochondrial mass and potential and quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) genes analysis. The compound 2 was found to have a pro-oxidative effect by strong stimulation of cells for the production of reactive oxygen species and cytostatic effect through cell cycle arrest.

Abstract
2,6-Bis(thiazol-2-yl)pyridines functionalized with 9-anthryl (L1), 9-phenanthryl (L2), and 1-pyrenyl (L3) groups were used for the preparation of [Pt(Ln)Cl]CF3SO3 (1-3). The constitution of the Pt(ii) complexes was determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, HR-MS spectrometry, elemental analysis and X-ray analysis (for (1)). The electrochemical and photophysical properties of [Pt(Ln)Cl]CF3SO3 were compared with the behaviour of the Pt(ii) complexes with aryl-substituted 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligands. What is noteworthy is that the coordination ability of dtpy toward the Pt(ii) centre was investigated for the first time. All complexes were tested in vitro by MTS assay on four tumor cell lines, A2780 (ovarian carcinoma), HTC116 (colon rectal carcinoma), MCF7 (breast adenocarcinoma), and PC3 (prostate carcinoma) and on normal primary fibroblasts. Compounds (1-3) showed a dose dependent antiproliferative effect in the A2780 cell line with (3) > (2) > (1) and this loss of A2780 cell viability was due to a combination of an apoptotic cell death mechanism via mitochondria and autophagic cell death. Exposure to IC50 concentration of (2) induced an increase in the number of apoptotic nuclei and a depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane which is consistent with the induction of apoptosis while exposure to IC50 concentration of (3) showed an increase in the apoptotic nuclei with a slight hyperpolarization of the mitochondrial membrane that might indicate an initial step of apoptosis induction. The complexes (2) and (3) induce an increase in the production of intracellular ROS which is associated with the trigger of the apoptotic pathways. The ROS production was augmented by the presence of oxidants and correlated with an increase of oxygen radicals. The IC50 of (2) and (3) (4.4 μM and 2.9 μM, respectively) was similar to the IC50 of cisplatin (3.4 μM) in the A2780 cell line, which together with their low cytotoxicity in normal fibroblasts, demonstrates their potential for further studies.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer in women. In the current study, transition metal ruthenium was complexed with flavonoid chrysin to evaluate the chemotherapeutic potential of this compound in Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) human mammary cancer cell line and 7,12-dimethylbenz(α)anthracene-induced mammary cancer in female Sprague-Dawley rats. The characterizations of the complex were accomplished through UV-visible, NMR, IR, Mass spectra, and XRD techniques and antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH, FRAP, and ABTS methods. In vitro studies included cell viability, cell cycle analysis, DNA fragmentation, and marker analysis by western blot analysis and found that complex treatment suppressed cell growth-induced cell cycle arrest and enhanced the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells. Moreover, complex treatment modulated signaling pathways including mTOR, VEGF, and p53 in the MCF-7 cells. Acute and subacute toxicity was performed in rats to determine the therapeutic doses. Breast cancer in rats was initiated by the administration of 7,12-dimethylbenz(α)anthracene (0.5 mg/100 g body weight) via single tail vein injection. The histopathological analysis after 24 weeks of carcinogenesis study depicted substantial repair of hyperplastic lesions. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed upregulation of Bax and p53 and downregulation of Bcl2 proteins and TUNEL assay showed an increase in apoptotic index in ruthenium-chrysin-treated groups as compared to the carcinogen control. Our findings from the in vitro and in vivo study support the continued investigation of ruthenium-chrysin complex possesses a potential chemotherapeutic activity against breast cancer and was efficient in reducing hyperplastic lesions in the mammary tissues of rats by inducing apoptosis.

Abstract
Staining compounds containing heavy elements (electron dyes) can facilitate the visualization of DNA and related biomolecules by using TEM. However, research into the synthesis and utilization of alternative electron dyes has been limited. Here, we report the synthesis of a novel DNA intercalator molecule, bis-acridine uranyl (BAU). NMR spectroscopy and MS confirmed the validity of the synthetic strategy and gel electrophoresis verified the binding of BAU to DNA. For TEM imaging of DNA, two-dimensional DNA origami nanostructures were used as a robust microscopy test object. By using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging, which is favored over conventional wide-field TEM for improved contrast, and therefore, quantitative image analysis, it is found that the synthesized BAU intercalator can render DNA visible, even at the single-molecule scale. For comparison, other staining compounds with a purported affinity towards DNA, such as dichloroplatinum, cisplatin, osmium tetroxide, and uranyl acetate, have been evaluated. The STEM contrast is discussed in terms of the DNA-dye association constants, number of dye molecules bound per base pair, and the electron-scattering capacity of the metal-containing ligands. These findings pave the way for the future development of electron dyes with specific DNA-binding motifs for high-resolution TEM imaging.

Abstract
Phenanthriplatin, a monofunctional anticancer agent derived from cisplatin, shows significantly more rapid DNA covalent-binding activity compared to its parent complex. To understand the underlying molecular mechanism, we used single-molecule studies with optical tweezers to probe the kinetics of DNA-phenanthriplatin binding as well as DNA binding to several control complexes. The time-dependent extensions of single λ-DNA molecules were monitored at constant applied forces and compound concentrations, followed by rinsing with a compound-free solution. DNA-phenanthriplatin association consisted of fast and reversible DNA lengthening with time constant τ ≈ 10 s, followed by slow and irreversible DNA elongation that reached equilibrium in ∼30 min. In contrast, only reversible fast DNA elongation occured for its stereoisomer trans-phenanthriplatin, suggesting that the distinct two-rate kinetics of phenanthriplatin is sensitive to the geometric conformation of the complex. Furthermore, no DNA unwinding was observed for pyriplatin, in which the phenanthridine ligand of phenanthriplatin is replaced by the smaller pyridine molecule, indicating that the size of the aromatic group is responsible for the rapid DNA elongation. These findings suggest that the mechanism of binding of phenanthriplatin to DNA involves rapid, partial intercalation of the phenanthridine ring followed by slower substitution of the adjacent chloride ligand by, most likely, the N7 atom of a purine base. The cis isomer affords the proper stereochemistry at the metal center to facilitate essentially irreversible DNA covalent binding, a geometric advantage not afforded by trans-phenanthriplatin. This study demonstrates that reversible DNA intercalation provides a robust transition state that is efficiently converted to an irreversible DNA-Pt bound state.

Abstract
The identification and screening of triplex DNA binders are important because these compounds, in many cases, are potential anticancer agents as well as promising drug candidates. Therefore, the ability to screen for these compounds in a high-throughput mode could dramatically improve the drug screening process. A method involving a combination of 96-well plate format and peak area-fading ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Orbitrap mass spectrometry was employed for screening bioactive compounds binding to the triplex DNA from the extracts of Stephania tetrandra S. Moore. Two compounds were screened out and identified as fangchinoline and tetrandrine based on the comparison of retention time and tandem mass spectrometry data with those of standards. The binding mechanisms of fangchinoline and tetrandrine at the molecular level were explored using tandem mass spectrometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and circular dichroism. Collision-induced dissociation experiments showed that the complexes with fangchinoline and tetrandrine were dissociated by ligand elimination. According to these measurements, an intercalating binding is the most appropriate binding mode of these two alkaloids to the triplex DNA. The current work provides not only deep insight into alkaloid-triplex DNA complexes but also useful guidelines for the design of efficient anticancer agents.

Abstract
Platinum antitumour agents, containing aromatic rings, which are used for targeting DNA in effective therapies for the treatment of cancer. We have synthesized the title metallocomplex with an aromatic ligand and determined its crystal structure. In many cases, complexes of platinum and other metals have a symmetrical structure. In contrast, the platinum(II) complex with pyridine and N-(9-anthracenylmethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine as ligands (systematic name: cis-{N-[(anthracen-9-yl)methyl]ethane-1,2-diamine-κ2N,N'}bis(pyridine-κN)platinum(II) dinitrate), [Pt(C5H5N)2(C17H18N2)](NO3)2, is asymmetric. Of the two pyridine ligands, only one is π-stacked with anthracene, resulting in an asymmetric structure. Moreover, the angle of orientation of each pyridine ligand is variable. Further examination of the packing motif confirms an intermolecular edge-to-face interaction.

Abstract
The interactions of two anionic poly(phenylene ethynylene) sulfonate-conjugated polyelectrolytes (mPPESO3- and pPPESO3-) with two alkynylplatinum(II) terpyridine complexes (Pt2+ and Pt3+) were studied. The Pt(II) complexes interact with helical mPPESO3- by intercalation within the polymer helix to form a "guest-host" ensemble. Titration of Pt(II) complexes into an aqueous solution of mPPESO3- gives rise to efficient quenching of the polymer's fluorescence; meanwhile, triplet metal-metal-to-ligand charge transfer (3MMLCT) state emission from the intercalated Pt(II) complexes appears when the ensembles are excited into the polymer's absorption band. The 3MMLCT state emission implies that the Pt(II) complexes aggregate or dimerize on the mPPESO3- scaffold. The responses of the mPPESO3- and Pt(II) complex ensembles to various proteins were examined by monitoring the mPPESO3- fluorescence change. Negatively charged proteins recover the mPPESO3- fluorescence more than the positively charged proteins under physiological pH, indicating that electrostatics play an important role in the protein-ensemble interaction.

Abstract
The aim of this work is the identification of the structural effect of amino acid-Pd complex on DNA as an intracellular target which was studied using various spectroscopic techniques such as fluorescence, UV-visible and circular dichroism in combination with a molecular docking study. Hence, a novel water-soluble palladium complex, [Pd(phendione)(isopentylglycine)]NO3, has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic method. The anticancer activity of complex was investigated against human colon cancer cell line of HCT116 after 24 h of incubation using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. In addition, this complex was interacted with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) via positive cooperative interaction. The fluorescence data indicate that Pd complex is intercalated in DNA. These results were confirmed by circular dichroism spectra. The molecular docking results indicate that docking may be an appropriate method for the prediction and confirmation of experimental results. Complementary molecular docking results may be useful for the determination of the binding mechanism of DNA in pharmaceutical and biophysical studies providing new insight into the novel pharmacology and new solutions in the formulation of advanced oral drug delivery systems. Docking and spectroscopic studies show that new water-soluble Pd complex has anticancer activity and it can bind to DNA via intercalation and groove binding.

Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapy drugs, and has been widely employed for more than four decades in the treatment of different forms of human tumors. In recent years, various examples of metal complex-based compounds have been used for medicinal purposes. In this context, the novel palladium(II) complex, [Pd(non-dtc)(bpy)]NO3, (non-dtc = nonyldithiocarbamate and bpy = 2,2'- bipyridine) has been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and electronic spectroscopy studies. The 50% cytotoxic concentrations (Ic50) of this Pd(II) complex (0.53 mM) and cisplatin (154 mM) against human cell tumor line (K562) indicates its interaction with DNA of cancer cell at quite low concentration. Thus, binding characteristics of this compound to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectra. The exciting observation of this work in the UV-visible studies was that the Pd(II) complex exhibit two or more types of interaction with CT-DNA. Such properties have rarely been observed in the literature. This complex cooperatively binds with DNA and denatures it too. Fluorescence studies proved the intercalation mode of binding and the other modes seems to be hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. Binding parameters and thermodynamics of the interaction with CT-DNA are also described. Finally, multifunctional interactions of [Pd(non-dtc)(bpy)]NO3 make it suitable to interact with DNA of cancer cell at quite low concentration and if it is used as anticancer agent, very low doses will be needed which may have fewer side effects.

Abstract
Reaction of various sulphur ligands L (SEt-, SPh-, SC6F4H-4-, SEt2, StBu2, SnBu2, DMSO, DPSO) with the precursors [(COD)M(R)Cl] (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene, M=Pd or Pt; R=methyl (Me) or benzyl (Bn); DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide; DPSO=diphenyl sulfoxide) allowed isolation and characterisation of mononuclear neutral (n=0) or cationic (n=1) complexes [(COD)Pt(R)(L)]n+. Reaction of l-cysteine (HCys) with [(COD)Pt(Me)Cl] under similar conditions gave the binuclear cationic complex in [{(COD)Pt(Me)}2(μ-Cys)]Cl. Detailed NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction in the case of [(COD)Pt(Me)(SEt2)][SbF6] and [(COD)Pt(Me)(DMSO)][SbF6] reveal markedly labilised Pt-S bonds as a consequence of the highly covalent Pt-C bonds of the R coligands in these organometallic species. Cationic charge (n=1) seems to lower the Pt-S bond strength further. Consequently, most of these complexes are not stable long-term in aqueous DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) solutions. This made the evaluation of their antiproliferative properties towards HT-29 colon carcinoma and MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines impossible. Only the two complexes [(COD)Pt(R)(SC6F4H-4)] with R=Me or SC6F4H-4 coligands could be tested with the R=Me complex showing promising activity (in the range of cisplatin), while the R=SC6F4H-4 derivative is largely inactive, as were the phosphane complexes [(dppe)Pt(SC6F4H-4)2] (dppe=1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane), cis-[(PPh3)2Pt(SC6F4H-4)2] and cis-[(PPh3)2PtCl2] which were tested for comparison. In turn, our findings might pave the way to new Pt anti-cancer drugs with largely reduced unwanted depletion of incorporated drugs and reduced side-effects from binding to S-containing biomolecules.

Abstract
The cellular response evoked by a hexanuclear platinum complex, Pt6L4 (1), is reported. Compound 1, a 3-nm octahedral cage formed by self-assembly of six Pt(II) centers and four 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine ligands (L), exhibits promising in vitro potency against a panel of human cancer cell lines. Unlike classical platinum-based anticancer agents, 1 interacts with DNA in a non-covalent, intercalative manner and promotes DNA condensation. In cancer cells, 1 induces DNA damage, upregulates p53, its phosphorylated form phospho-p53 and its downstream effector, p21, as well as both apoptosis and senescence.
