Synthesis, characterization and comparative biological activity of a novel set of Cu(II) complexes containing azole-based ligand frames. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 262:112736. [PMID: 39332382 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2024.112736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2024] [Revised: 08/30/2024] [Accepted: 09/09/2024] [Indexed: 09/29/2024]
Abstract
The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of three complexes containing a substituted 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (PyBTh) group in the ligand frame are reported along with the comparative biological activity. The ligands have been substituted at the 6-position with either a methoxy (Py(OMe)BTh) or a methyl group (Py(Me)BTh). Reaction of Py(OMe)BTh with either CuCl2 or Cu(NO3)2·2.5 H2O yielded the monomeric [Cu(Py(OMe)BTh))2(NO3)]NO3·1.5 MeOH, (1·1.5 MeOH) complex or the dimeric [Cu(Py(OMe)BTh)Cl2]2 (2), respectively, with the nuclearity of the complex dependent on the starting Cu(II) salt. Reaction between the methyl substituted ligand and Cu(NO3)2·2.5 H2O resulted in the isolation of Cu(Py(Me)BTh)(NO3)2·0.5 THF (3·0.5 THF). Complexes 1-3 were fully characterized. Cyclic voltammetry measurements were performed on all three complexes as well as on [Cu(PyBTh)2(H2O)](BF4)2 (4), a compound previously reported by us which contains the unsubstituted 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole ligand. The biological activity was studied and included concentration dependent DNA binding and cleavage, antibacterial activity, and cancer cell toxicity. All complexes exhibited DNA cleavage activity, however 2 and 4 were found to be the most potent. Mechanistic studies revealed that the nuclease activity is dependent on an oxidative mechanism reliant principally on O2-. Antibacterial studies revealed complex 4 was more potent compared to 1-3. Cancer cell toxicity studies were carried out on HeLa, PC-3, and MCF7 cells with 1-4, Cu(QBTh)(NO3)2(H2O) and Cu(PyBIm)3(BF4)2. The differences in the observed toxicities suggests the importance of the ligand and its substituents in modulating cell death.

Abstract
This study investigates the potential of using ionic liquids as cosolvents to enhance the solubility and activity of poorly soluble rhodium(III) complexes, particularly those with diene, pyridine derivatives, and camphor-derived bis-pyrazolylpyridine ligands, in relation to 5'-GMP, CT-DNA, and HSA as well as their biological activity. Findings indicate that ionic liquids significantly increase the substitution activity of these complexes toward 5'-GMP while only marginally affecting DNA/HSA binding affinities with molecular docking, further confirming the experimental results. Lipophilicity assessments indicated good lipophilicity. Notably, cytotoxicity studies show that Rh2 is selectively effective against HeLa cancer cells, with IL1 and IL10 modulating the cytotoxic effects. Redox evaluations indicate that rhodium complexes induce oxidative stress in cancerous cells while maintaining redox balance in noncancerous cells. By elucidating the role of ionic liquids in modulating these effects, the study proposes a promising avenue for augmenting the efficacy and selectivity of cancer treatments, thus opening new horizons in cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
A series of mono- and heteronuclear platinum(II) and zinc(II) complexes with 4,4',4″-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine ligand were synthesized and characterized. The DNA and protein binding properties of [ZnCl2(terpytBu)] (C1), [{cis-PtCl(NH3)2(μ-pyrazine)ZnCl(terpytBu)}](ClO4)2 (C2), [{trans-PtCl(NH3)2(μ-pyrazine)ZnCl(terpytBu)}](ClO4)2 (C3), [{cis-PtCl(NH3)2(μ-4,4'-bipyridyl)ZnCl(terpytBu)}](CIO4)2 (C4) and [{trans-PtCl(NH3)2(μ-4,4'-bipyridyl)ZnCl(terpytBu)}](CIO4)2 (C5) (where terpytBu = 4,4',4″-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine), were investigated by electronic absorption, fluorescence spectroscopic, and molecular docking methods. Complexes featuring transplatin exhibited lower Kb and Ksv constant values compared to cisplatin analogs. The lowest Ksv value belonged to complex C1, while C4 exhibited the highest. Molecular docking studies reveal that the binding of complex C1 to DNA is due to van der Waals forces, while that of C2-C5 is due to conventional hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces. The tested complexes exhibited variable cytotoxicity toward mouse colorectal carcinoma (CT26), human colorectal carcinoma (HCT116 and SW480), and non-cancerous mouse mesenchymal stem cells (mMSC). Particularly, the mononuclear C1 complex showed pronounced selectivity toward cancer cells over non-cancerous mMSC. The C1 complex notably induced apoptosis in CT26 cells, effectively arrested the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase, and selectively down-regulated Cyclin D.

Abstract
The numerous side effects of platinum based chemotherapy has led to the design of new therapeutics with platinum replaced by another transition metal. Here, we investigated the interactions of previously reported copper(II) complexes containing S-isoalkyl derivatives, the salicylic acid with guanosine-5'-monophosphate and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and their antitumor effects, in a colon carcinoma model. All three copper(II) complexes exhibited an affinity for binding to CT-DNA, but there was no indication of intercalation or the displacement of ethidium bromide. Molecular docking studies revealed a significant affinity of the complexes for binding to the minor groove of B-form DNA, which coincided with DNA elongation, and a higher affinity for binding to Z-form DNA, supporting the hypothesis that the complex binding to CT-DNA induces a local transition from B-form to Z-form DNA. These complexes show a moderate, but selective cytotoxic effect toward colon cancer cells in vitro. Binuclear complex of copper(II) with S-isoamyl derivative of thiosalicylic acid showed the highest cytotoxic effect, arrested tumor cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, and significantly reduced the expression of inflammatory molecules pro-IL-1β, TNF-α, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 in the tissue of primary heterotopic murine colon cancer, which was accompanied by a significantly reduced tumor growth and metastases in the lung and liver.

Abstract
A new mixed-ligand Cu(II) complex formulated as [Cu(dipic)(amp)(H2O)].H2O (dipic: pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, amp: 2-amino-4-methylpyridine), was synthesized and structurally characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, CHN analysis, and the single-crystal X-ray crystallographic method. The complex crystallizes in an orthorhombic space group Pna21, and the coordination environment around the metal center was found to be a pentacoordinate CuN2O2OW distorted square-pyramidal geometry. In order to systematically explore a detailed in vitro and in silico study of the DNA binding of the title complex, various biophysical (UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence, competitive binding with ethidium bromide) and theoretical (DFT, molecular docking simulation, and QM/MM) methods were applied which revealed that the complex could intercalate with the insertion of the amp ligand between the DNA base pairs. The experimental thermodynamic parameters of the interaction revealed the spontaneity of the process and the domination of the hydrophobic interactions in the association and stabilization of the DNA-Cu(II) complex adduct, which was in line with the docking and QM/MM data. In vitro cytotoxic potential of the complex against the human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells was examined using MTT assay, which indicated that cancerous cells showed inhibition in presence of the complex.

Abstract
Novel ruthenium(III) complexes of general formula Na[RuCl2(L1-3-N,O)2] where L(1-3) denote deprotonated Schiff bases (HL1-HL3) derived from 5-substituted salicyladehyde and alkylamine (propyl- or butylamine) were prepared and characterized based on elemental analysis, mass spectra, infrared, electron spin/paramagnetic resonance (ESR/EPR) spectroscopy, and cyclovoltammetric study. Optimization of five isomers of complex C1 was done by DFT calculation. The interaction of C1-C3 complexes with DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and BSA (Bovine serum albumin) was investigated by electron spectroscopy and fluorescence quenching. The cytotoxic activity of C1-C3 was investigated in a panel of four human cancer cell lines (K562, A549, EA.hy926, MDA-MB-231) and one human non-tumor cell line (MRC-5). Complexes displayed an apparent cytoselective profile, with IC50 values in the low micromolar range from 1.6 ± 0.3 to 23.0 ± 0.1 µM. Cisplatin-resistant triple-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 displayed the highest sensitivity to complexes, with Ru(III) compound containing two chlorides and two deprotonated N-propyl-5-chloro-salicylidenimine (hereinafter C1) as the most potent (IC50 = 1.6 µM), and approximately ten times more active than cisplatin (IC50 = 21.9 µM). MDA-MB-231 cells treated for 24 h with C1 presented with apoptotic morphology, as seen by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining, while 48 h of treatment induced DNA fragmentation, and necrotic changes in cells, as seen by flow cytometry analysis. Drug-accumulation study by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) demonstrated markedly higher intracellular accumulation of C1 compared with cisplatin.

Abstract
The complex [Pt(AEP)Cl2]; C-1 (where, AEP = 1-(2-Aminoethyl) pyrrolidine) and its hydrolyzed diaqua form cis-[Pt(AEP)(H2O)2]2+; C-2 were synthesized for their bioactivity and in vitro kinetic study with bioactive thiol group (-SH) containing ligands (like; L- cysteine and N-ac-L- cysteine) for their biological importance for 'drug reservoir' activity. The Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) was executed to confirm about the weight loss due to coordinated water molecules at high temperature range. At pH 4.0, the substitution behavior of C-2 with the thiols was studied in pseudo-first order reaction condition. The interaction mechanism of thiols with complex C-2 to their corresponding thiol substituted C-3 [Pt(AEP)(L-cys)] and C-4 [Pt(AEP)(N-ac-L-cys)] (where L-cys = L-cysteine and N-ac-L-cys = N-ac-L- cysteine) were proposed from their thermodynamical activation parameters (ΔH≠ and ΔS≠), which were obtained from Eyring equation. DNA and BSA binding activity of the complexes C-1 to C-4 were investigated by gel electrophoresis technique, spectroscopic titration and viscosity methods. The binding activity of the complexes with DNA and BSA was evaluated using a theoretical approach molecular docking study. The drug-like nature of the complexes is supported by the prediction of activity spectra for substance (PASS) from 2D structure of the Pt(II) complexes. Structural optimization, HOMO-LUMO energy calculation, Molecular electrostatic potential surface, NBO and TD-DFT calculation were executed by using density functional theory (DFT) with Gaussian 09 software package to pre-assessment of biological activity of the complexes. DFT-based descriptors were determined from the HOMO-LUMA energy to be related with the ability of binding affinity of Pt(II) complexes towards DNA and BSA to the formation of their corresponding adducts. The anticancer property of the design complexes were examined on HCT116 (colorectal carcinoma) cancer cell lines and as well as human normal cell NKE (Normal Kidney Epithelial) and compared with the recognised anticancer drug cisplatin. The Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) production was assessed by DCFDA assay in presence of the Pt(II) complexes.

Abstract
The potent bidentate carrier ligand 2-picolylamine (pic) has been used to synthesize Pt(II) complexes to know their bioactivity and anticancer property as reflected by PASS prediction software. The dichloro Pt(II) complex [Pt(pic)Cl2], Pt-1, and its hydrolyzed diaqua complex [Pt(pic)(OH2)2]2+, Pt-2, were synthesized. The thiol-containing Pt(II) complexes [Pt(pic)(l-cys)]+, Pt-3, and [Pt(pic)(L-ac-l-cy)]+, Pt-4, were synthesized from Pt-2, which was obtained from hydrolysis of Pt-1. Their biomolecular interactions with BSA and DNA were executed by spectroscopic methods, and their cytototoxic property was tested by the MTT assay. In vitro biomolecular interactions of Pt(II) complexes with BSA and DNA were investigated by different spectroscopic and viscosity measurement methods for their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic importance. The conformational change of BSA in the presence of a drug candidate was studied by Förster resonance energy transfer calculation and synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopic studies. A theoretical approach on optimization structures, highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy, global reactivity parameters, time-dependent density functional theory, and molecular docking with BSA and DNA was executed to strengthen and support the experimental observations. In vitro cytotoxic profiles of the complexes like the anticancer activity and their level of reactive oxygen species production were brought under consideration on A549 cancer cells and the normal human embryonic kidney cell line HEK-293. The cytotoxic property was compared with that of the recognized anticancer drug cisplatin.

Abstract
Antimicrobial drug resistance poses a significant threat worldwide, hence triggering an urgent situation for developing feasible drugs. 3D-transition metal coordination complexes being multifaceted, offer tremendous potency as drug candidates. However, there are fewer reports on non-toxic and safe transition metal complexes; therefore, we hereby attempted to develop novel copper and vanadium-based therapeutic agents. We have synthesised six metal complexes viz., [VVO2(Quibal-INH)] (1), [CuII(Quibal-INH)2] (2), [VVO(Quibal-INH) (cat)] (3), [CuII(Quibal-INH) (cat)] (4), [VVO(Quibal-INH) (bha)] (5) and [CuII(Quibal-INH) (bha)] (6). Quibal-INH (L) is an ON bidentate donor ligand synthesized from Schiff base reaction between 4-(2-(7-chloroquinolin-3-yl)vinyl)benzaldehyde (Quibal) and Isoniazid (INH). The synthesized compounds were characterized using analytical techniques involving ATR-IR, UV-Vis, EPR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and 51V NMR. Ligand (L) and compound 3 exhibited moderate growth inhibitory activity towards Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans fungal species. Compound 6 has been identified as active against the above fungal species with no toxicity and hemolysis activity on the healthy cells. Compound 5 exhibited significant activity against the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H 37 R v strain. Further, compounds 4, 5 and 6 exhibited excellent free radical scavenging activity. All the developed compounds were found to exhibit stability over a wide range of pH conditions. The complexes were additionally studied for their interaction with human serum albumin (HSA) with the UV-vis spectroscopic technique.

Abstract
Pt(II) complex cis-[Pt(PEA)(OH2)2] X2, C-2 (where, PEA = 2-Pyridylethylamine and X = ClO4- or NO3-) was synthesized by hydrolysis of cis-[Pt(PEA)Cl2] C-1. Glutathione (GSH) and DL-penicilamine (DL-pen) substituted complexes cis-[Pt(PEA)(GSH)],C-3 and cis-[Pt(PEA)DL-pen)]X C-4 were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Kinetic studies were traced on complex C-2 with the thiols, GSH and DL-pen. Pt(II)-Sulfur adduct formation mechanisms of the substituted products C-3 and C-4 were established from the kinetic investigation. At pH 4.0, C-2 - thiols interactions follow two consecutive steps: the first step is dependent, and the second is independent of [thiol]. The association equilibrium constant (KE), substitution rate constants for both steps (k1 & k2), and activation parameters (ΔH‡ and ΔS‡) have been assessed to propose the mechanism. Agarose gel electrophoresis mobilization pattern of DNA with complexes was performed to visualize the interaction nature. CT-DNA and BSA binding activities of the complexes have been executed by electronic, fluorescence spectroscopy, and viscometric titration methods. Evaluation of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH0, ΔS0, and ΔG0) from BSA binding constants was executed to propose the driving forces of interaction between these species. A molecular docking study was performed to evaluate the binding mode of complexes with BDNA strands. Anticancer activity of the complexes C-1 to C-4 was explored on both A549 and HEp-2 cell lines, compared with approved anticancer drugs cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin. All these complexes were tested by NBT assay on normal cell line skeletal muscle cells (L6 myotubes) to observe the adverse effects compared to recognized anticancer medications. The ultimate aim is to explore the role of anticancer agents on cell death mechanism, which has been performed by flow-cytometer on HEp-2 cell lines.

Abstract
A series of multichromophoric ruthenium(II) complexes with the formulation [Ru(tpy-BODIPY)(tpy-R)]Cl2 (1-4), having a heteroleptic Ru(II)-bis-tpy (tpy = 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) moiety covalently linked to a boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) pendant, have been prepared and characterized and their application as a phototherapeutic and photodetection agent in cancer therapy has been explored. Ligand L1 with a terpyridine-BODIPY moiety and complex 1 as its PF6 salt (1a) have been structurally characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. Complex 1a has a distorted-octahedral RuN6 core with a Ru(II)-bis-terpyridine unit that is covalently linked to one photoactive BODIPY unit. The complexes exhibit strong absorbance near 502 nm (ε ≈ (3.7-7.8) × 104 M-1 cm-1) and high singlet oxygen sensitization ability, giving singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ) values ranging from 0.57 to 0.75 in DMSO. An emission-based study using complex 4 and Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG) displays the formation of singlet oxygen inside the cells and also in the buffer medium upon light irradiation. DNA (pUC19) photocleavage experiments using ROS scavengers/stabilizers reveal photoinduced generation of singlet oxygen by a type-II process and of the superoxide anion radical by a type-I process. Complex 4 having a pendant biotin moiety as a cancer cell targeting group shows high photocytotoxicity with a remarkable phototherapeutic index (PI) value of >1400 in HeLa cancer cells with a low light dose activation (400-700 nm, 2.2 J cm-2). The complexes display reduced activity in noncancerous HPL1D cells. The emission property of the complexes is used for cellular imaging, thus making them suitable as next-generation theranostic PDT agents.

Abstract
Quinoline is one of the most important and versatile nitrogen heterocycles embodied in several biologically active molecules. Within the numerous quinolines developed as antiproliferative agents, this review is focused on compounds interfering with DNA structure or with proteins/enzymes involved in the regulation of double helix functional processes. In this light, a special focus is given to the quinoline compounds, acting with classical/well-known mechanisms of action (DNA intercalators or Topoisomerase inhibitors). In particular, the quinoline drugs amsacrine and camptothecin (CPT) have been studied as key lead compounds for the development of new agents with improved PK and tolerability properties. Moreover, notable attention has been paid to the quinoline molecules, which are able to interfere with emerging targets involved in cancer progression, as G-quadruplexes or the epigenetic ones (e.g.: histone deacetylase, DNA and histones methyltransferase). The antiproliferative and the enzymatic inhibition data of the reviewed compounds have been analyzed. Furthermore, concerning the SAR (structure-activity relationship) aspects, the most recurrent ligand-protein interactions are summarized, underling the structural requirements for each kind of mechanism of action.

Abstract
The reactions of CuCl2·2H2O with chromone thiosemicarbazone ligands containing a -H or -CH3 substituent on terminal N yielded monometallic Cu(ii) complexes [Cu(HL1)Cl2] (1) and [Cu(HL2)Cl2] (2), whereas bimetallic Cu(ii) complexes [Cu(μ-Cl)(HL3)]2Cl2 (3), [Cu(μ-Cl)(HL4)]2Cl2 (4) and [Cu(μ-Cl)(L5)]2 (5) were obtained when a -C2H5, -C6H11 or -C6H5 substituent was present, respectively, in the ligands. The complexes were characterized using elemental analyses, UV-Vis, FT-IR, EPR, mass and TGA studies. The structures of neutral monometallic and dicationic bimetallic complexes were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and they exhibited a distorted square pyramidal geometry around Cu(ii) ions. The catecholase-mimicking activity of complexes 1-5 was examined spectrophotometrically, and the results revealed that all the complexes except 5 had the ability to oxidize 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol (3,5-DTBC) to 3,5-di-tert-butylquinone (3,5-DTBQ) under aerobic conditions with moderate turnover numbers. In order to find the possible complex-substrate intermediates, a mass spectrometry study was carried out for complexes 1-4 in the presence of 3,5-DTBC. The phosphatase-like activity of 1-5 was also investigated using 4-nitrophenylphosphate (4-NPP) as a model substrate. All the complexes exhibited excellent phosphatase activity in DMF-H2O medium. The complexes displayed significant biomolecular interactions and antioxidant potential. Complex 3 showed good interaction with apoptotic CASP3 protein, VEGFR2 and PIM-1 kinase receptors as revealed by a molecular docking study. Complexes (3-5) exhibited promising cytotoxicity against HeLa-cervical cancer cells with IC50 values of 2.24 (3), 2.25 (4) and 3.77 (5) μM, respectively, and showed a two-fold higher activity than cisplatin. The active complex 3 showed complete inhibition of colony formation at 10 μM concentration. In addition, the acridine orange (AO)/ethidium bromide (EB) staining and real-time live cell imaging results confirmed that complex 3 induced cell death in HeLa cells.

Condensed-phase relative Gibbs free energy and E/Z descriptors for 2-acetylthiophene and 2-acetylthiophene-N1-phenyl thiosemicarbazones. J Mol Model 2021; 27:101.

Abstract
Thiosemicarbazones (TSCs) encompasses a class of compounds relevant in the pharmacological context. Their specific applicability varies in function of the appropriated chemical modification and their binding to different transition metals. In the present work, we apply current standards functionals, B3LYP and B97D, with triple zeta basis set quality, 6-311++G(d,p), to investigate the relative stability of the various possible spatial arrangements for 2-acetylthiophene and 2-acetylthiophene-N1-phenyl thiosemicarbazones, denoted ATTSC and ATTSC-Ph, respectively. The relative stability of neutral and deprotonated species at ethanol described by an implicit solvent model was investigated. For ATTSC, the relative Gibbs energy changed significantly upon deprotonation, and for ATTSC-Ph, a novel global minimum was identified. Based on the present study, deprotonation determines population in condensed-media. Such information, valid for ATTSC and ATTSC-Ph, can be crucial in studying other thiosemicarbazones.

Abstract
Six new zinc(II) complexes were prepared by the reaction of ZnBr2 or ZnI2 with 4′-(substituted-phenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine compounds, bearing p-methylsulfonyl (L1), p-methoxy (L2) and p-methyl (L3), which were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The antiproliferative properties against Eca-109, A549 and Bel-7402 cell lines and the cytotoxicity test on RAW-264.7 of these compounds were monitored using a CCK-8 assay, and the studies indicate that the complexes show higher antiproliferative activities than cisplatin. The interactions of these complexes with CT-DNA and proteins (BSA) were studied by UV-Vis, circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescent spectroscopy, respectively. The results indicate that the interaction of these zinc(II) complexes with CT-DNA is achieved through intercalative binding, and their strong binding affinity to BSA is fulfilled through a static quenching mechanism. The simulation of the complexes with the CT-DNA fragment and BSA was studied by using molecular docking software. It further validates that the complexes interact with DNA through intercalative binding mode and that they have a strong interaction with BSA.

Abstract
The tri-dentate Schiff base ligand 3-(2-hydroxyethylimino)-1-phenylbut-1-en-1-ol (L) produced the tetra-nuclear Cu(II) distorted cubane complex which contain Cu4O4 core, upon reaction with Cu(II)acetate.H2O. The complex was structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and found that, in this tetrameric and tetra-nuclear distorted cubane structure, each two-fold deprotonated Schiff base ligand coordinated to a Cu(II) center with their alcoholic oxygens and imine nitrogens and formed six and five-membered chelate rings. At the same time, each ligand bridged to a neighboring Cu(II) atom by its alcoholic oxygen, thus the metal centers became penta-coordinated. The copper(II) complex with μ-ɳ2-hydroxo bridges and Cu….Cu distance about 3 Å was structurally similar to the active site of natural catechol oxidase enzyme and exhibited excellent catecholase activity in aerobic oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butyl catechol to its o-quinone. The kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of 3, 5-DTBCH2 catalyzed by [CuL]4 complex, were studied at four different temperatures from 283 to 313K by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Interaction of [CuL]4 complex with FS-DNA was investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurements, cyclic voltammetry (CV), circular dichroism (CD) and agarose gel electrophoresis. The main mode of binding of the complexes with DNA was intercalation. The interaction between [CuL]4 complex and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by UV-Vis, fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The results indicated a high binding affinity of the complex to BSA. In vitro anticancer activity of the complex was evaluated against A549, Jurkat and Ragi cell lines by MTT assay. The complex was remarkably active against the cell lines and can be a good candidate for an anticancer drug. Theoretical docking studies were performed to further investigate the DNA and BSA binding interactions.

Abstract
The ruthenium(II) complexes [RuCl(L1)(L3)]Cl (1), [RuCl(L1)(L4)]Cl (2), [RuCl(L2)(L4)]Cl (3), [RuCl(L1)(L5)]Cl (4), and [RuCl(L2)(L5)]Cl (5) of NNN-donor dipicolylamine (dpa) bases (L4, L5) having BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene) moieties, NN-donor phenanthroline derivatives (L1, L2), and benzyldipicolylamine (bzdpa, L3) were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and their cellular localization/uptake and photocytotoxicity studied. Complex 1, as its PF6 salt (1a), has been structurally characterized with help of a single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. It has a RuN5Cl core with the Cl bonded trans to the amine nitrogen atom of bzdpa. The complexes showed intense absorption spectral bands near 500 nm (ε ≈ 58000 M-1 cm-1) in 2 and 3 and 654 nm (ε ≈ 80000 M-1 cm-1) in 4 and 5 in 1/1 DMSO/DPBS (v/v). Complex 5 having biotin and PEGylated-disteryl BODIPY gave a singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ) of ∼0.65 in DMSO. Complex 5 exhibited remarkable PDT (photodynamic therapy) activity (IC50 ≈ 0.02 μM) with a photocytotoxicity index (PI) value of >5000 in red light of 600-720 nm in A549 cancer cells. The biotin-conjugated complexes showed better photocytotoxicity in comparison to nonbiotinylated analogues in A549 cells. The complexes displayed less toxicity in HPL1D normal cells in comparison to A549 cancer cells. The emissive BODIPY complexes 3 and 5 (ΦF ≈ 0.07 in DMSO) showed significant mitochondrial localization.

Abstract
Schiff bases are versatile organic compounds which are widely used and synthesized by condensation reaction of different amino compound with aldehydes or ketones known as imine. Schiff base ligands are considered as privileged ligands as they are simply synthesized by condensation. They show broad range of application in medicine, pharmacy, coordination chemistry, biological activities, industries, food packages, dyes, and polymer and also used as an O2 detector. Semicarbazone is an imine derivative which is derived from condensation of semicarbazide and suitable aldehyde and ketone. Imine ligand-containing transition metal complexes such as copper, zinc, and cadmium have shown to be excellent precursors for synthesis of metal or metal chalcogenide nanoparticles. In recent years, the researchers have attracted enormous attention toward Schiff bases, semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazones, and their metal complexes owing to numerous applications in pharmacology such as antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antituberculosis, anticancer, anti-HIV, catalytic application in oxidation of organic compounds, and nanotechnology. In this review, we summarize the synthesis, structural, biological, and catalytic application of Schiff bases as well as their metal complexes.

Abstract
Theoretical studies on DNA-cleavage and DNA-binding properties of a series of Cu(II) complexes [Cu(bimda)(diimine)] 1-5 have been carried out by density functional theory (DFT). The optimized structures of Cu(II) complexes were docked into parallel, antiparallel and mixed G-quadruplexes, with which the binding energies of complexes 1-5 were obtained. The cytotoxicities of these complexes can be predicted preliminarily by the binding energies. To explore the energy changes of Cu(II) complexes in duplex DNA, the optimized structures of these complexes were docked into the duplex DNA, and the obtained docking models were further optimized using QM/MM method. The DNA-cleavage abilities of complexes 1-5 can be predicted accurately and explained reasonably by the computed intra-molecular reorganization energies of these complexes. This work reported here has implications for the understanding of the interaction Cu(II) complexes with the DNA, which might be helpful for the future directing the design of novel anticancer Cu(II) complexes.
