Abstract
Bilastine (BLA), 2-(4-(2-(4-(1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)-piperidin-1-yl)-ethyl)-phenyl)-2-methylpropanoic acid, is an active antihistamine drug. With the idea of repurposing drugs from the existing pool of 'active' pharmaceutical ingredients, the therapeutic potency of bilastine as an anticancer agent was investigated via the tailored synthesis of a metal-based anticancer drug formulation of the type [BLA(phen)2M(II)]+·X-, where M = Co, Cu, and Zn and X- = NO3 and ClO4. The synthesized metal-based chemotherapeutics derived from the bilastine drug that acts as a ligand were thoroughly characterized using spectroscopic techniques, namely, UV-vis, FT-IR, and EPR (in the case of 1 and 2); 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR (in the case of 3); ESI-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Comprehensive biological studies (DNA binding, cleavage, and cytotoxic activity) using various biophysical and gel electrophoretic methods were carried out to validate their potential as anticancer agents. The cytotoxic activity of 'therapeutically promising' copper(II)-based drug candidate 2 was evaluated against MCF-7, MBA-MD-231, HeLa, HepG2, and Mia-PaCa-2 cancer cells via an SRB assay, and the results demonstrated 2 as a potent anticancer agent at low nanomolar concentrations against all tested cancer cells, preferably with a much superior anticancer efficacy against human pancreatic cancer cells.

Abstract
In the title mol-ecular salt, (C12H14N2)[CoCl4], the dihedral angle between the pyridine rings of the cation is 52.46 (9)° and the N-C-C-N torsion angle is -128.78 (14)°, indicating that the ring nitro-gen atoms are in anti-clinal conformation. The Cl-Co-Cl bond angles in the anion span the range 105.46 (3)-117.91 (2)°. In the extended structure, the cations and anions are linked by cation-to-anion N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl inter-actions, facilitating the formation of R 4 4(18) and R 4 4(20) ring motifs. Furthermore, the crystal structure features weak anion-to-cation Cl⋯π inter-actions [Cl⋯π = 3.4891 (12) and 3.5465 (12) Å]. Hirshfeld two-dimensional fingerprint plots revealed that the most significant inter-actions are Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (45.5%), H⋯H (29.0%), Cl⋯C/C⋯Cl (7.8%), Cl⋯N/N⋯Cl (3.5%), Cl⋯Cl (1.4) and Co⋯H (1%) contacts.

Abstract
In recent years, organometallic complexes have attracted much attention as anticancer therapeutics aiming at overcoming the limitations of platinum drugs that are currently marketed. Still, the development of half-sandwich organometallic cobalt complexes remains scarcely explored. Four new cobalt(III)-cyclopentadienyl complexes containing N,N-heteroaromatic bidentate, and phosphane ligands were synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic techniques, and DFT methods. The cytotoxicity of all complexes was determined in vitro by the MTS assay in colorectal (HCT116), ovarian (A2780), and breast (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) human cancer cell lines and in a healthy human cell line (fibroblasts). The complexes showed high cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines, mostly due to ROS production, apoptosis, autophagy induction, and disruption of the mitochondrial membrane. Also, these complexes were shown to be nontoxic in vivo in an ex ovo chick embryo yolk sac membrane (YSM) assay.

Abstract
A polymeric compound formulized as [Cu(µ-dipic)2{Na2(µ-H2O)4]n.2nH2O (I), where dipic is 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (dipicolinic acid, H2dipic), was synthesized by sonochemical irradiation. The initial in-vitro cytotoxic activity of this complex compared with renowned anticancer drugs like cisplatin, versus HCT116 colon cell lines, shows promising results. This study investigated the interaction mode between compound (I) and calf-thymus DNA utilizing a range of analytical techniques including spectrophotometry, fluorimetry, partition coefficient analysis, viscometry, gel electrophoresis and molecular docking technique. The results obtained from experimental methods reveal complex (I) could bind to CT-DNA via hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces and the theoretical methods support it. Also, complex (I) indicates nuclease activity in the attendance of H2O2 and can act as an artificial nuclease to cleave DNA with high efficiency.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
In an initiation to investigate a prospective bioactive compound, a mononuclear Ni(II) complex with N, N, and O donor Schiff base ligand was synthesized and characterized in the present study through FTIR, ESI-mass, and X-ray crystallographic diffraction studies. A slightly distorted octahedral geometry has been obtained for the Ni(II) complex from X-ray crystallographic diffraction studies. In vitro comprehensive biological studies show the antifungal specific efficiency of the complex against Colletotrichum siamense (AP1) and Fusarium equisetum (F.E.) pathogens, which are responsible for anthracnose and wilt disease, respectively, but no inhibitory effect on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for these pathogens was observed to be 0.25 and 0.5 mM, respectively. The experiment also reveals that significant damage of mycelia and enlarged, misshaped damaged spores are noticed in comparison to hexaconazole, used as a positive control under a light microscope post 48 h treatment of AP1 and F.E. with the MIC of the complex. The binding interaction studies of the complex with DNA and BSA performed through a variety of spectroscopic techniques demonstrate a strong binding behavior of the complex for both the binding systems. The observed negative ΔH° and ΔS° values for DNA reveal the existence of hydrogen-bonding/van der Waals interactions for DNA which was also exemplified from the molecular docking and self-assembly studies of the complex. The positive ΔH° and ΔS° values for BSA demonstrate the hydrophobic interactions of the complex with BSA. However, cytotoxicity studies against the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line did not demonstrate any significant potentiality of the complex as an anticancer agent. All the bio-experimental studies provide clear evidence that the synthesized Ni(II) complex exhibits potential antifungal activity and could be used as a therapeutic fungicide agent in comparison to hexaconazole in agricultural practices.

Abstract
A DFT (density functional theory) study was conducted with eight oxovanadium complexes (C1 - C8) of general formula [VO(L1-4)(R)] (R = bipyridine, phenanthroline; L1-4 = group of ligands derived from dithiocarbamate). The obtained geometries showed a good correlation with the experimental structures. Molecular orbital analysis revealed that the contribution of the L-ligand in the SOMO (single-occupied molecular orbital) of the complexes correlated with the experimental antioxidant activity (IC50), while the contribution of the R-ligand to the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) of the complexes correlated with the experimental complex-DNA interaction (Kb). It has been identified that the presence of an electron-donating substituent group (such as -NH2) in the C5 - C6 structures should enhance these complexes' antioxidant and DNA interaction activities.

Abstract
A novel class of bioactive complexes (1-3) [MII(L)2(bpy)], where, L = 2-(4-morpholinobenzylideneamino)phenol, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, MII = Mn (1), Co (2) or Ni (3), were assigned to octahedral geometry based on analytical and spectral measurements. Gel electrophoresis showed that complex (2) demonstrated significant DNA cleavage activity compared to the other complexes under the action of oxidation agent (H2O2). The DNA binding constant properties measured by various techniques were in the following sequence: (2) > (3) > (1) > (HL), which suggests that the complexes might intercalate DNA, a possibility that is also supported by their biothermodynamic characteristics. The binding constant results for BSA from electronic absorption and fluorometric titrations demonstrate that complex (2) exhibits the highest binding effectiveness among them all, which means that all the compounds could interact with BSA through a static approach, additionally supported by FRET measurements. DFT and docking calculations were employed to realize the electronic structure, reactivity, and interaction capability of all substances with DNA, BSA, and the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. These binding energies fell within the ranges -7.7 to -8.5, -8.2 to -10.1 and -6.7 to -9.3 kcal mol-1, respectively. The higher reactivity of the complexes than the ligand is supported by FMO theory. The in vitro antibacterial, cytotoxicity, and radical scavenging characteristics revealed that complexes (2-3) have better biological efficacy than the others. The cytotoxicity and binding properties also show good correlation with the partition coefficient (log P), which is encouraging because all of the experimental findings are closely correlated with the theoretical measurements.

Abstract
Standard amino acids have an asymmetric α-carbon atom to which -COOH, -NH2, -H, and -R groups are bonded. Among them, glycine is the simplest (R = -H) with no asymmetric carbon, and other natural amino acids are C-substituted of glycine. Here, we have designed and made a green synthesis of some new N-substituted glycine derivatives with R-(NH)CH2-COOH formula, where R is flexible and hydrophobic with different chain lengths and benches of the type propyl, butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, tert-pentyl, hexyl, 2-aminoheptyl, and octyl. These glycine derivatives were characterized by recording their melting points and FT-IR, mass, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectra. DFT studies revealed that 2-aminoheptyl glycine had the highest electronegativity value and can thus act as a good bidentate ligand for the metal centers. ADME comparative results and bioavailability radars indicated that both octyl- and 2-aminoheptyl glycine had the most lipophilicity, making them good agents in cell passing. Furthermore, lipophilicity determination showed that octyl glycine was the best and propylgly was more soluble than others. Based on solubility, lipophilicity, and dipole moment values, propyl- and 2-aminoheptyl-glycine were considered for bio-macromolecular interaction studies. Thus, the interaction of these two agents with DNA and HSA was studied using absorption spectroscopy and circular dichroism techniques. Due to the presence of the R-amine group, they can interact with the DNA by H-binding and hydrophobicity, while electrostatic mode could not be ruled out. Meanwhile, molecular docking studies revealed that octyl- and 2-aminoheptyl glycine had the highest negative docking energy, which reflects their higher tendency to interact with DNA. The DNA binding affinity of two candidate AAs was determined by viscosity measurement and fluorescence emission recording, which confirms that groove binding occurs. Also, the toxicity of these synthesized amino acid derivates was tested against the human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cell line. They showed IC50 values within the range of 127-344 μM after 48 h with the highest toxicity for 2-aminoheptyl glycine.

Abstract
Scientists should not forget that the rate of death as a result of cancer is far more than that of other diseases like influenza or coronavirus (COVID-19), so the research in this field is of cardinal significance. Therefore, a new and hydrophilic palladium(II) complex of the general formula [Pd(bpy)(proli-dtc)]NO3, in which bpy and proli-dtc are 2,2'-bipyridine and pyrroline dithiocarbamate ligands, respectively, was synthesized and characterized utilizing spectral and analytical procedures. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation was also performed with B3LYP method in the gas phase. The DFT and spectral analysis specified that the Pd(II) atom is found in a square-planar geometry. HOMO/LUMO analysis, quantum chemical parameters and MEP surface of the complex were investigated to acquire an intuition about the nature of the compound. Partition coefficient and water solubility determination showed that both lipophilicity and hydrophilicity of the compound are more than cisplatin. The 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) value was evaluated against K562 cancer cells, the obtained result has revealed a promising cytotoxic effect. DNA and BSA binding of the complex were explored through multi-spectroscopic (UV–Vis, fluorescence, FRET, and CD) and non-spectroscopic (gel electrophoresis, viscosity and docking simulation) techniques. The obtained findings demonstrated that the complex strongly interacts with CT-DNA by hydrophobic interactions and possesses medium interaction with BSA via hydrogen bond and van der Waals forces, thus BSA could efficiently carry out complex transportation. Furthermore, the results of docking simulation agree well with the experimental findings. In conclusion, the new Pd(II) complex has cytotoxic activity and could interact with DNA and BSA effectively.

Abstract
The transport and cytotoxicity of molybdenum-based drugs have been explained with the concept of chemical transformation, a very important idea in inorganic medicinal chemistry that is often overlooked in the interpretation of the biological activity of metal-containing systems. Two monomeric, [MoO2(L1)(MeOH)] (1) and [MoO2(L2)(EtOH)] (2), and two mixed-ligand dimeric MoVIO2 species, [{MoO2(L1-2)}2(μ-4,4'-bipy)] (3-4), were synthesized and characterized. The structures of the solid complexes were solved through SC-XRD, while their transformation in water was clarified by UV-vis, ESI-MS, and DFT. In aqueous solution, 1-4 lead to the penta-coordinated [MoO2(L1-2)] active species after the release of the solvent molecule (1 and 2) or removal of the 4,4'-bipy bridge (3 and 4). [MoO2(L1-2)] are stable in solution and react with neither serum bioligand nor cellular reductants. The binding affinity of 1-4 toward HSA and DNA were evaluated through analytical and computational methods and in both cases a non-covalent interaction is expected. Furthermore, the in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes was also determined and flow cytometry analysis showed the apoptotic death of the cancer cells. Interestingly, μ-4,4'-bipy bridged complexes 3 and 4 were found to be more active than monomeric 1 and 2, due to the mixture of species generated, that is [MoO2(L1-2)] and the cytotoxic 4,4'-bipy released after their dissociation. Since in the cytosol neither the reduction of MoVI to MoV/IV takes place nor the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through Fenton-like reactions of 1-4 with H2O2 occurs, the mechanism of cytotoxicity should be attributable to the direct interaction with DNA that happens with a minor-groove binding which results in cell death through an apoptotic mechanism.

Abstract
In the present study, via using a ligand featuring oxalamide groups N,N′-bis(4-phthalic acid) (H4L), two new Cu(II) and Co(II)-containing coordination polymers with the chemical formulae of [Cu2L(H2O)4]n (1) and [Co(H2L)(H2O)2]n (2) have been successfully prepared via reaction of the corresponding metal salts with the H4L ligand. The as-prepared two coordination polymers have been studied via the single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. Their therapeutic effect and mechanism for ovarian cancer was evaluated and explored. Firstly, the inhibitory activity of the new compounds on the proliferation of the ovarian cancer was measured with CCK-8 assay after compound treatment. Besides, the relative expression of the estrogen receptor on the ovarian cancer cells after compound treatment was also determined with real-time RT-PCR assay.

Abstract
The reactions between 2-(pyridine-2-ylmethoxy)-benzaldehyde (L) and various primary amines furnish tridentate (L1 to L3) and tetradentate (L4) chelating ligands. The choice of different primary amines in the condensation reaction incorporates the chiral carbon atom in L2 and L3. A series of mononuclear cobalt(II) complexes, [CoII(L1)(Cl)2] (1), [CoII(L2)(Cl)2]·CH3CN (2), [CoII(L3)(Cl)2] (3), and [CoIII(L4)(N3)2] (4) are synthesized in the pure crystalline state from the resulting solution of cobalt(II) chloride and/or azide and respective ligand. The new ligands and cobalt complexes are characterized using spectral (UV-Vis, 1H-NMR, IR, and HRMS), cyclovoltammetric, and DFT studies. The structure of L1, L2, and all four cobalt complexes are determined by single X-ray crystallography. Cytotoxic activity of the compounds is evaluated using three different tissues of origin e.g., U-937 (histiocytic lymphoma), HEK293T (embryonic kidney), and A549 (lung carcinoma). The cobalt complexes are more active than the corresponding ligands against U-937 and HEK293T. The MTT assay demonstrates that the cobalt compounds are more effective anticancer agents against U-937 cancer cells than HEK293T and A549. The toxicity order, 1 (7.2 ± 0.3 μM) > 3 (11.4 ± 0.6 μM) > 2 (12 ± 0.1 μM) > 4 (29 ± 1 μM) is observed against U-937 cancer cells. All the compounds induce cell death through an apoptosis mechanism and all are ineffective against PBMCs. The mechanism of activity against U937 cancer cells involves caspase-3 activation and two different mitogen-activated protein kinases attesting the programmed cell death. Among the compounds, complexes 1, 2, and 3 show DNA cleavage activity both in oxidizing (H2O2) and reducing (GSH) environments. The mechanistic study reveals that singlet oxygen (1O2) is the major species involved in DNA cleavage. The absolute chemical hardness values of the ligands and 4 are relatively higher than 1, 2, and 3, which tacitly support the DNA cleavage experiment. The docking result indicates that the compounds under investigation strongly interact with DNA base pairs through a variety of interactions which attests successfully to the experimental results. A structure-activity relationship has been drawn to correlate the variation of antitumor activity with ligand conformations.

Abstract
Dimeric mixed-ligand oxidovanadium complexes [V2O2(1,3-pdta)(bpy)2]·9H2O (1) and [V2O2(1,3-pdta)(phen)2]·6H2O (2) feature a symmetric binuclear structure bridged by 1,3-pdta, which is different from our previous reported asymmetric binuclear complex [V2O2(edta)(phen)2]·11H2O (3).In this study, a wide range of analytical techniques were carried out to fully characterize the complexes 1 and 2 and further investigate their structural stabilities. Density functional theory calculations of 1 and 2 also suggest that they might have good reactivity with biomolecules as anticancer agents. To assess and screen the antitumor activities of compounds 1-3 together with their four corresponding monomeric complexes [VO(ida)(phen)], [VO(ida)(bpy)], [VO(OH)(phen)2]Cl, and [VO(Hedta)]-, we have performed in vitro experiments with hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cell lines by MTT analyses. Complex 2 was found to have the highest inhibitory potency against the growth of HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells (IC50 = 2.07 ± 0.72 μM for HepG2; 13.00 ± 3.06 μM for SMMC-7721) compared to other compounds. The structure-activity relationship studies showed that the antitumor effect of compound 2 is higher than that of other compounds. After studying the monomeric compounds of 1-3, their effects were also ranked. Moreover, complex 2 displayed stronger binding affinity toward calf thymus DNA (Kb = 5.71 × 104 M-1) and cleavage activities than the other complexes (Kb = 1.34 × 104 M-1 for 1 and 5.22 × 104 M-1 for 3, respectively). We further extended the cellular mechanisms of drug action and found that 2 could block DNA synthesis and cell division of HepG2 and 7721 cells and further induce apoptosis by flow cytometry assays. In short, these results indicate that binuclear oxidovanadium compounds could have potential as simple, effective, and safe antitumor agents.

Abstract
Copper homeostasis is strictly regulated by protein transporters and chaperones, to allow its correct distribution and avoid uncontrolled redox reactions. Several studies address copper as involved in cancer development and spreading (epithelial to mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis). However, being endogenous and displaying a tremendous potential to generate free radicals, copper is a perfect candidate, once opportunely complexed, to be used as a drug in cancer therapy with low adverse effects. Copper ions can be modulated by the organic counterpart, after complexed to their metalcore, either in redox potential or geometry and consequently reactivity. During the last four decades, many copper complexes were studied regarding their reactivity toward cancer cells, and many of them could be a drug choice for phase II and III in cancer therapy. Also, there is promising evidence of using 64Cu in nanoparticles as radiopharmaceuticals for both positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and treatment of hypoxic tumors. However, few compounds have gone beyond testing in animal models, and none of them got the status of a drug for cancer chemotherapy. The main challenge is their solubility in physiological buffers and their different and non-predictable mechanism of action. Moreover, it is difficult to rationalize a structure-based activity for drug design and delivery. In this review, we describe the role of copper in cancer, the effects of copper-complexes on tumor cell death mechanisms, and point to the new copper complexes applicable as drugs, suggesting that they may represent at least one component of a multi-action combination in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Since numerous people annually pass away due to cancer, research in this field is essential. Thus a newly made and water like palladium(II) complex of formula [Pd(phen)(acac)]NO3, where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and acac is acetylacetonato ligand, has been synthesized by the reaction between [Pd(phen)(H2O)2](NO3)2 and sodium salt of acetylacetone in the molar ratio of 1:1. It has been structurally characterized via the methods such as conductivity measurement, elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, UV-Vis and 1H NMR). The geometry optimization of this complex at the DFT level of theory reveals that Pd(II) atom is situated in a square-planar geometry. The complex has been screened for its antitumor activity against K562 cancer cells which demonstrated efficacious activity. The interaction of above palladium(II) complex with CT-DNA as a target molecule for antitumor agents and BSA as a transport protein was studies by a variety of techniques. The results of UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence emission indicated that the Pd(II) complex interacts with EB + CT-DNA through hydrophobic and with BSA by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces at very low concentrations. In these processes, the fluorescence quenching mechanism of both the macromolecules seems to be the combined dynamic and static. The interaction was further supported for CT-DNA by carrying out the gel electrophoresis and viscosity measurement and for BSA by the circular dichroism and Förster resonance energy transfer experiments. Furthermore, results of partition coefficient determination showed that the [Pd(phen)(acac)]NO3 complex is more lipophilic than that of cisplatin. Moreover, molecular docking simulation confirms the obtained results from experimental tests and reveals that the complex tends to be located at the intercalation site of DNA and Sudlow's site I of BSA.

Abstract
A new schiff base cobalt(III) complex [N,N'-bis(2'-hydroxyphenylacetone)-o-ethanediamine] cobalt(III) (M3) has been synthesized and characterized by single X-ray crystallography. The cytotoxicity of complex M3 was evaluated against HeLa, LoVo, A549, A549/cis cancer cell lines, and the normal cell lines LO2 by MTT assays. The IC50 is in the range of 6.27-22.68 μM, which is somewhat lower than cisplatin on the basis of platinum molar concentration. Furthermore, anticancer mechanistic studies showed that the complex M3 inhibited cell proliferation by blocking DNA synthesis and then acted on nuclear division of HeLa cells over time. Moreover, western blot analysis indicated M3 dramatically decreased the target protein c-Myc and KLF5 expression levels, and activated many signaling pathways including ER stress, apoptosis, cell cycle and DNA damage in HeLa. M3 did not affect proteasomal activity.

Abstract
The search for anticancer metal-based drugs alternative to platinum derivatives could not exclude zinc derivatives due to the importance of this metal for the correct functioning of the human body. Zinc, the second most abundant trace element in the human body, is one of the most important micro-elements essential for human physiology. Its ubiquity in thousands of proteins and enzymes is related to its chemical features, in particular its lack of redox activity and its ability to support different coordination geometries and to promote fast ligands exchange. Analogously to other trace elements, the impairment of its homeostasis can lead to various diseases and in some cases can be also related to cancer development. However, in addition to its physiological role, zinc can have beneficial therapeutic and preventive effects on infectious diseases and, compared to other metal-based drugs, Zn(II) complexes generally exert lower toxicity and offer few side effects. Zinc derivatives have been proposed as antitumor agents and, among the great number of zinc coordination complexes which have been described so far, this review focuses on the design, synthesis and biological studies of zinc complexes comprising N-donor ligands and that have been reported within the last five years.

Abstract
Designing the effective metallodrugs with amphiphilic nature is an active approach for the biomedical applications such as chemotheraphy, bioimaging, drug carrier, etc. To elaborate this, some fluorescent emissive surfactant-ruthenium(II) complexes and its precursor ruthenium(II) complexes have been interacted with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) for understanding the biophysical impacts of head and tail parts of the metallosurfactants. Here, DNA binding studies were examined by UV-visible absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism and viscosity measurements. The obtained results showed that surfactant-ruthenium(II) complexes effectively bind with CT-DNA through hydrophobic interactions dominated moderate intercalation, whereas precursor ruthenium(II) complexes interact CT-DNA through electrostatic interactions dominated moderate intercalation. Also, increase of hydrophobic alkyl amine chain length as well as size of the head group in surfactant-ruthenium(II) complexes increased the binding affinity with CT-DNA, in which tail group played a dominant role. Further investigations of antibacterial, hemolytic and anticancer activities showed that desired biological activities could be obtained by tuning the head and tail groups of the metallodrugs in near future.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
In this study, 9-anthraldehyde-N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone (MeATSC) 1 and [Co(phen)2(O2CO)]Cl·6H2O 2 (where phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) were synthesized. [Co(phen)2(O2CO)]Cl·6H2O 2 was used to produce anhydrous [Co(phen)2(H2O)2](NO3)33. Subsequently, anhydrous [Co(phen)2(H2O)2](NO3)33 was reacted with MeATSC 1 to produce [Co(phen)2(MeATSC)](NO3)3·1.5H2O·C2H5OH 4. The ligand, MeATSC 1 and all complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT IR, UV-visible, and multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C, and 59Co) spectroscopy, along with HRMS, and conductivity measurements, where appropriate. Interactions of MeATSC 1 and complex 4 with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) were investigated by carrying out UV-visible spectrophotometric studies. UV-visible spectrophotometric studies revealed weak interactions between ctDNA and the analytes, MeATSC 1 and complex 4 (Kb = 8.1 × 105 and 1.6 × 104 M-1, respectively). Topoisomerase inhibition assays and cleavage studies proved that complex 4 was an efficient catalytic inhibitor of human topoisomerases I and IIα. Based upon the results obtained from the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay on 4T1-luc metastatic mammary breast cancer cells (IC50 = 34.4 ± 5.2 μM when compared to IC50 = 13.75 ± 1.08 μM for the control, cisplatin), further investigations into the molecular events initiated by exposure to complex 4 were investigated. Studies have shown that complex 4 activated both the apoptotic and autophagic signaling pathways in addition to causing dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Furthermore, activation of cysteine-aspartic proteases3 (caspase 3) in a time- and concentration-dependent manner coupled with the ΔΨm, studies implicated the intrinsic apoptotic pathway as the major regulator of cell death mechanism.

Abstract
Zinc(II) complexes bearing N-salicylideneglycinate (Sal-Gly) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or phenanthroline derivatives [NN = 5-chloro-1,10-phenanthroline, 5-amine-1,10-phenanthroline (amphen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen) and 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenanthroline] are synthesized. Complexes formulated as [Zn(NN)2(H2O)2]2+(NN = phen and amphen), are also prepared. The cytotoxicity of the compounds is evaluated towards a panel of human cancer cells: ovarian (A2780), breast (MCF7) and cervical (HeLa), as well as non-tumoral V79 fibroblasts. All compounds display higher cytotoxicity than cisplatin (IC50 = 22.5 ± 5.0 μM) towards ovarian cells, showing IC50values in the low micromolar range. Overall, all compounds show higher selectivity for the A2780 cells than for the non-tumoral cells and higher selectivity indexes (IC50(V79)/IC50(A2780) than cisplatin. [Zn(Sal-Gly)(NN)(H2O)] complexes induce caspase-dependent apoptosis in A2780 cells, except [Zn(Sal-Gly)(Bphen)(H2O)], one of the most cytotoxic of the series. The cellular uptake in the ovarian cells analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma mass spectrometry indicates different Zn distribution profiles. Transmission electronic microscopy shows mitochondria alterations and apoptotic features consistent with caspase activation; cells incubated with [Zn(Sal-Gly)(amphen)(H2O)] present additional nuclear membrane alterations in agreement with significant association with the nucleus. The increase of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation forms could be related to apoptosis induction. [Zn(NN)2(H2O)2]2+complexes have high ability to bind DNA through intercalation/groove binding, and circular dichroism data suggests that the main type of species that interact with DNA is [Zn(NN)]2+. Studies varying the % of fetal bovine serum (1-15%) in cell media show that albumin binding decreases the complex activity, indicating that distinct speciation of Zn- and phen-containing species in cell media may affect the cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Four cobalt(iii) complexes of the general formula [Co(Schiff base)(L)2]+, where L is ammonia (NH3) or 3-fluorobenzylamine (3F-BnNH2), were synthesized. The complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography. Their electrochemical properties, ligand substitution mechanisms, and ligand exchange rates in aqueous buffer were investigated. These physical properties were correlated to the cellular uptake and anticancer activities of the complexes. The complexes undergo sequential, dissociative ligand substitution, with the exchange rates depending heavily on the axial ligands. Eyring analyses revealed that the relative ligand exchange rates were largely impacted by differences in the entropy, rather than enthalpy, of activation for the complexes. Performing the substitution reactions in the presence of ascorbate led to a change in the reaction profile and kinetics, but no change in the final product. The cytotoxic activity of the complexes correlates with both the ligand exchange rate and reduction potential, with the more easily reduced and rapidly substituted complexes showing higher toxicity. These relationships may be valuable for the rational design of Co(iii) complexes as anticancer or antiviral prodrugs.

Abstract
Multidentate oxidovanadium(iv) complexes with different geometric configurations [VO(ox)(bpy)(H2O)] 1, [VO(ox)(phen)(H2O)] 2, [VO(ida)(bpy)]·2H2O 3, (phen)[VO(ida)(phen)]·4H2O 4, and (Hphen)[VO(H2O)(nta)]·2H2O 5 [ox = oxalic acid, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, ida = iminodiacetic acid, nta = nitrilotriacetic acid] have been obtained from the reactions of oxidovanadium sulfate or vanadium pentoxide with oxalates, amino-polycarboxylates and N-heterocyclic ligands in neutral solution by the hydrothermal method, and have been fully characterized by elemental, thermogravimetric analyses and single crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as a wide range of spectroscopic techniques such as FT-IR, UV/Vis, NMR, ESI-MS. The anti-tumor properties of oxidovanadium compounds 1-5 were further evaluated in human HepG2 and SMMC-7721 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines in vitro. The profiles of cytotoxicity, cell cycle distribution, as well as cell apoptosis upon test compound exposure, were determined by MTT and flow cytometry assays. Compound 2 exhibited a much higher anti-tumor activity than others. The IC50 values of 2 were 5.34 ± 0.034 μM and 29.07 ± 0.017 μM in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells after 48 h treatment, respectively. Furthermore, compound 2 could significantly arrest the cell cycle in the S and G2/M phases and further induce cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that structural elements, for example, metal components, variations of coordination mode, labile water molecules, chelated ligands etc., probably exert an essential cooperative effect on the antitumor activity. In short, these findings not only provide an accessible model system to exploit V-based complexes as potential simple, safe and effective multifunctional antitumor agents, but also open up a rational approach to shed new light on the selection and optimization of ideal drug candidates.

Abstract
The reaction of 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazine (H2bh) separately with equimolar amounts of [VIVO(aa)2] and [VIVO(ba)2] in CHCl3 afforded the complexes [VO3(HL1)2] (1) and [VO3(HL2)2] (2) respectively in good to excellent yield ((HL1)2- and (HL2)2- represent respectively the dianionic form of 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazones of acetylacetone (H3L1) and benzoylacetone (H3L2) (general abbreviation H3L)). From X-ray structure analysis, the VV-O-VV angle was found to be ∼115° and 180° in 1 and 2 respectively. Upon one-electron reduction selectively at one V centre at an appropriate potential, each of 1 and 2 generated mixed-valence [(HL)VVO-(μ-O)-OVIV(HL)]- species 1A and 2A respectively, which showed valence delocalization at room temperature and localization at 77 K, and the VIV-O-VV bond angles were calculated to be 177.5° and 180° respectively. The intercalative mode of binding of the two complexes 1 and 2 with CT DNA has been suggested by UV-visible spectroscopy (Kb = 7.31 × 105 M-1 and 8.71 × 105 M-1 respectively for 1 and 2), fluorescence spectroscopy (Ksv = 6.85 × 105 M-1 and 8.53 × 105 M-1 respectively for 1 and 2) and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Such intercalative mode of binding of these two complexes with CT DNA and HPV DNA has also been confirmed by molecular docking study. Both complexes 1 and 2 exhibited promising anti-cancer activity against SiHa cervical cancer cells with IC50 values of 28 ± 0.5 μM and 25 ± 0.5 μM respectively for 24 h which is significantly better than that of widely used cisplatin (with IC50 value of 63.5 μM). Nuclear staining experiments reveal that these complexes kill the SiHa cells through apoptotic mode. It is interesting to note that these two complexes are non-toxic to normal T293 cell line. Complex 2 showed higher DNA binding ability with CT DNA and HPV DNA as well as better anti-cancer properties towards SiHa cervical cancer cells in comparison to complex 1, a fact which can be explained by considering the lower energy of LUMO (which favours electron transition from DNA to the metal complex) and also the higher surface area of complex 2 in comparison to complex 1 due to the presence of one extra electron-withdrawing phenyl group in the former.

Abstract
A novel series of amphiphilic cobalt-cage derivatives (ACCD), bearing a diaza-crown bridge and varying alkyl chains, facilitate ion transport across biomembrane models via self-aggregation. In this study, compression isotherm analyses and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used to assess the interactions of these amphiphiles with Langmuir monolayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) in order to elucidate electrostatic and steric contributions to ion transport. The stability and compressibility of DPPC monolayers are disrupted by ACCD molecules with short (C12) alkyl chains. These top-heavy amphiphiles (large cone angles) create voids at the interface of the hydrophobic/aqueous layer leading to monolayer expansion and packing efficiency of the aliphatic chains is disrupted. Long-tailed analogues (C16, C18) are cohesively integrated into DPPC monolayers due to their smaller cone angles at the interfacial region and increased hydrocarbon compatibility in the hydrophobic region. Thermodynamic data indicate the formation of electrostatic complexes between DPPC and longer-tailed amphiphiles consistent with AFM observations of aggregate structures at the corresponding concentrations.
