Abstract
Most diseases that affect human beings across the world are now treated with drugs of organic origin. However, some of these are associated with side effects, toxicity, and resistance phenomena. For the treatment of many illnesses, the development of new molecules with pharmacological potential is now an urgent matter. The biological activities of metal complexes have been reported to have antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-infective and antiparasitic effects, amongst others. Metal complexes are effective because they possess unique properties. For example, the complex entity possesses the effective biological activity, then the formation of coordination bonds between the metal ions and ligands is controlled, metal ions provide it with extraordinary mechanisms of action because of characteristics such as d-orbitals, oxidation states, and specific orientations; metal complexes also exhibit good stability and good physicochemical properties such as water solubility. Platinum is a transition metal widely used in the design of drugs with antineoplastic activities; however, platinum is associated with side effects which have made it necessary to search for, and design, novel complexes based on other metals. Copper is a biometal which is found in living systems; it is now used in the design of metal complexes with biological activities that have demonstrated antitumoral, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, amongst others. In this review, we consider the open horizons of Cu(II)- and Pt(II)-based complexes, new trends in their design, their synthesis, their biological activities and their targets of action.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy has increased the life expectancy of cancer patients, its toxic side effects remain a major challenge. Recently, organometallic compounds, such as Schiff base copper complexes, have become promising candidates for next-generation anticancer drugs owing to their unique anticancer activities. In this study, binuclear copper(II) complex-1 and mononuclear copper(II) complex-2 were examined to analyze their anticancer mechanisms further. For this purpose, a viability test, flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis and the cell cycle, migration assay, and gene expression analysis were performed. According to our results, complex-1 was more cytotoxic than complex-2 at 24/48-h intervals. Our findings also demonstrated that both complexes induced apoptosis at IC50 concentrations and arrested the cell cycle at the G1-S checkpoint. However, complex-1 accelerates cell cycle arrest at the sub-G0/G1 phase more than complex-2 does. Furthermore, gene expression analysis showed that only complex-1 induces the expression of p53. Interestingly, both complexes induced Bcl-2 overexpression. However, they did not affect MMP-13 expression. More interestingly, both complexes inhibited cell migration in different ways, including amoeboid and collective, by recruiting protease-independent pathways. This study confirmed that adding several metal cores and co-ligands increased the activity of the complex. It also appeared that Cu-containing complexes could prevent the migration of cancer cells through protease-independent pathways, which can be used for novel therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Dinuclear copper complexes have been designed for molecular recognition in order to selectively bind to two neighboring phosphate moieties in the backbone of double strand DNA. Associated biophysical, biochemical and cytotoxic effects on DNA were investigated in previous works, where atomic force microscopy (AFM) in ambient conditions turned out to be a particular valuable asset, since the complexes influence the macromechanical properties and configurations of the strands. To investigate and scrutinize these effects in more depth from a structural point of view, cutting-edge preparation methods and scanning force microscopy under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions were employed to yield submolecular resolution images. DNA strand mechanics and interactions could be resolved on the single base pair level, including the amplified formation of melting bubbles. Even the interaction of singular complex molecules could be observed. To better assess the results, the appearance of treated DNA is also compared to the behavior of untreated DNA in UHV on different substrates. Finally, we present data from a statistical simulation reasoning about the nanomechanics of strand dissociation. This sort of quantitative experimental insights paralleled by statistical simulations impressively shade light on the rationale for strand dissociations of this novel DNA interaction process, that is an important nanomechanistic key and novel approach for the development of new chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
The dinuclear copper complex bearing a 2,7-disubstituted-1,8-naphthalenediol ligand, [(HtomMe){Cu(OAc)}2](OAc), a potential anticancer drug able to bind to two neighboring phosphates in the DNA backbone, is endowed with stronger cytotoxic effects and inhibition ability of DNA synthesis in human cancer cells as compared to cisplatin. In this study, the intrinsic binding ability of the charged complex [(HtomMe){Cu(OAc)}2]+ is investigated with representative phosphate diester ligands with growing chemical complexity, ranging from simple inorganic phosphate up to mononucleotides. An integrated method based on high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS), tandem MS, and infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy in the 600-1800 cm-1 spectral range, backed by quantum chemical calculations, has been used to characterize complexes formed in solution and delivered as bare species by electrospray ionization. The structural features revealed by IRMPD spectroscopy have been interpreted by comparison with linear IR spectra of the lowest-energy structures, revealing diagnostic signatures of binding modes of the dinuclear copper(II) complex with phosphate groups, whereas the possible competitive interaction with the nucleobase is silenced in the gas phase. This result points to the prevailing interaction of [(HtomMe){Cu(OAc)}2]+ with phosphate diesters and mononucleotides as a conceivable contribution to the observed anticancer activity.

Abstract
A family of dinuclear complexes based on 2,7-disubstituted 1,8-naphthalenediol-ligands has been designed to bind covalently to two neighboring phosphate diester groups in the backbone of DNA. The dinuclear CuII and NiII complexes bind to DNA resulting in the inhibition of DNA synthesis in PCR experiments and in a cytotoxicity that is stronger for human cancer cells than for human stem cells of the same proliferation rate. These experiments support but cannot prove that the dinuclear complexes bind as intended to two neighboring phosphate ester groups of the DNA backbone. Here, we evaluate the potential binding mode of the cytotoxic dinuclear NiII complex using simple phosphate diester models (dimethyl phosphate and diphenyl phosphate). Depending on the reaction conditions, the phosphate diesters bind to the NiII ions in a bridging or in a terminal coordination mode. The latter occurs by substitution of two coordinated acetates by the phosphate diesters. This reaction has been followed by NMR spectroscopy, which demonstrates that the substitution of acetate by phosphate is thermodynamically strongly favored, while the exchange with excess phosphate is fast on the NMR time scale. The molecular structure of the NiII complex with two coordinated diphenyl phosphates served as a model for the computational evaluation of the binding to the DNA backbone. This combined experimental and computational study suggests a monodentate coordination mode of the DNA phosphate diesters to the NiII ions that is assisted by hydrogen bonds with water ligands.

Abstract
The copper(ii) complexes of general formula [Cu(GL)(Cl)] (1-3, G = OMe, H and NO2, respectively), bearing tridentate Schiff base ligands (GL-) and a chloride as a fourth labile one, are here reported. The Schiff bases derive from the monocondensation of ethylenediamine and substituted salicylaldehyde, where the electronic properties are modulated by the releasing or withdrawing power of the G group. The compounds were structurally characterized through single crystal Synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments in the solid state, revealing that 1 (OMe) and 2 (H) adopt a dimeric assembly [Cu(μ-Cl)(GL)]2 through apical interaction of the chloride ions of two monomeric units, while 3 embraces a 1D polymeric chain structure [Cu(μ-Cl)(NO2L)]n with a similar bridging fashion, all supported by extended intramolecular or intrachain hydrogen bonds. The redox properties of the complexes were also studied by cyclic voltammetry with no marked effect of the substituent on the potential of the CuII/CuI redox system. UV/Vis spectroscopic studies in mimicked physiological conditions highlighted the intactness and stability of the coordinated NNO tridentate ligand in 1-3 and the lability of the coordinated chloride ion with the formation of the aquo-complexes [Cu(GL)(H2O)]+ in aqueous solution, as confirmed by conductance measurements with a 1 : 1 electrolyte molar conductivity. In vitro tests on cell viability were conducted on malignant cell lines typical for their poor prognosis and curability, revealing time-dependent and differential cytotoxicity given by the substituent G. All compounds were capable of formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species and DNA intercalation, acting as nuclease and producing double-strand DNA breaks. This is especially effective for 3 (NO2), which revealed the highest anticancer activity against malignant triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, with a two-to-four-fold cytotoxicity enhancement with respect to 1 (OMe) and 2 (H), and, most important, substantial differentiation of cytotoxicity with respect to healthy endothelial HUVEC cell line.

Abstract
Cytostatic metallo-drugs mostly bind to the nucleobases of DNA. A new family of dinuclear transition metal complexes was rationally designed to selectively target the phosphate diesters of the DNA backbone by covalent bonding. The synthesis and characterization of the first dinuclear NiII2 complex of this family are presented, and its DNA binding and interference with DNA synthesis in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are investigated and compared to those of the analogous CuII2 complex. The NiII2 complex also binds to DNA but forms fewer intermolecular DNA cross-links, while it interferes with DNA synthesis in PCR at lower concentrations than CuII2. To simulate possible competing phosphate-based ligands in vivo, these effects have been studied for both complexes with 100-200-fold excesses of phosphate and ATP, which provided no disturbance. The cytotoxicity of both complexes has been studied for human cancer cells and human stem cells with similar rates of proliferation. CuII2 shows the lowest IC50 values and a remarkable preference for killing the cancer cells. Three different assays show that the CuII2 complex induces apoptosis in cancer cells. These results are discussed to gain insight into the mechanisms of action and demonstrate the potential of this family of dinuclear complexes as anticancer drugs acting by a new binding target.

Characterisation and proteomic profiling of continuously exposed Cu-resistant variants of the Caco-2 cell line. Toxicol In Vitro 2020; 65:104773.

Abstract
Studies in hepatic systems identify multiple factors involved in the generation of copper resistance. As the intestine is the route of exposure to dietary copper, we wanted to understand how intestinal cells overcome the toxic effects of high copper and what mechanisms of resistance develop. Using the intestinal cell line Caco-2, resistance was developed by serial subculture in 50 μM copper in inorganic (CuSO4) or organic (Cu proteinate) forms. Caco-2 variants exhibited resistance to copper and retained the non-monotonic dose response while displaying stable phenotypes following repeated subculture in the absence of copper. Phenotypic changes on exposure to copper in parental Caco-2 cells included significantly increased total protein yield, ROS, SOD, metallothionein expression, GSH and total glutathione. These phenotypic changes were not replicated in resistant variants on a per cell basis. Quantitative label-free LC-MS/MS proteomic analysis identified 1113 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between parental Caco-2 and resistant cells. With some exceptions, most of the DEPs were overexpressed to a low level around 2-fold suggesting resistance was supported by multiple small changes in protein expression. These variants may be a useful tool in studying the toxicity of stress responses in further Cu-related studies.

Abstract
New tailored copper(II)-based intercalating complexes [Cu(L1)2] (1) and [Cu(L2)2] (2) were synthesized from Schiff base scaffold HL1 and HL2(E)-4-(2-((2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)amino)ethyl)benzenesulfonamide and (E)-4-(2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)ethyl)benzenesulfonamide, respectively. The structure elucidation of complexes 1 and 2 was carried out by employing various spectroscopic techniques viz., FT-IR, UV-vis, ESI-MS, EPR and single X-ray crystal diffraction studies. The complexes 1 and 2 were crystallized in monoclinic P21/n and triclinic P-1 space group, respectively possessing square planar geometry around Cu(II) coordinated with N,O-donor Schiff base ligands. An analysis of Hirshfeld surfaces of complexes 1 and 2 were performed to ascertain different intra and intermolecular non-covalent interactions (H-bonding, CH⋯ πetc.) responsible for the stabilization of crystal lattices. Calculations based on Density functional theory (B3LYP/DFT), have been carried out to obtain energies of Frontier molecular orbitals. Comparative in vitro binding profile of complexes 1 and 2 with ct-DNA was evaluated employing various biophysical techniques viz., UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism and cyclic voltammetry which suggested non-covalent intercalative binding mode with more avid binding propensity of complex 1 compared to complex 2. The cleavage experiments of complex 1 was performed by gel electrophoretic assay which revealed efficient cleavage mediated via oxidative pathway. Furthermore, topoisomerase I enzymatic activity of complex 1 was carried out employing gel electrophoretic assay which demonstrated significant inhibitory effects at a low concentration of 25 µM. The cytotoxic potential of complex 1 was analyzed by SRB assay on a panel of selected human cancer cell lines which revealed selective activity for MCF-7 (breast cancer) cell line with GI50 = 16.21 µg/ml.

Abstract
The cytotoxicity of a dinuclear imine-copper (II) complex 2, and its analogous mononuclear complex 1, toward different melanoma cells, particularly human SKMEL-05 and SKMEL-147, was investigated. Complex 2, a tyrosinase mimic, showed much higher activity in comparison to complex 1, and its reactivity was verified to be remarkably activated by UVB-light, while the mononuclear compound showed a small or negligible effect. Further, a significant dependence on the melanin content in the tumor cells, both from intrinsic pigmentation or stimulated by irradiation, was observed in the case of complex 2. Similar tests with keratinocytes and melanocytes indicated a much lower sensitivity to both copper (II) complexes, even after exposition to UV light. Clonogenic assays attested that the fractions of melanoma cells survival were much lower under treatment with complex 2 compared to complex 1, both with or without previous irradiation of the cells. The process also involves generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as verified by EPR spectroscopy, and by using fluorescence indicators. Autophagic assays indicated a remarkable formation of cytoplasmic vacuoles in melanomas treated with complex 2, while this effect was not observed in similar treatment with complex 1. Monitoring of specific protein LC3 corroborated the simultaneous occurrence of autophagy. A balance interplay between different modes of cell death, apoptosis and autophagy, occurs when melanomas were treated with the dinuclear complex 2, in contrast to the mononuclear complex 1. These results pointed out to different mechanisms of action of such complexes, depending on its nuclearity.

Abstract
Purpose: Different compositions of copper oxide (CuO)-doped calcium silicate clusters were used to treat the cancer cells. Methods: The influence of CuO content on the morphology, drug delivering ability, physicochemical properties and cytotoxicity was investigated. Results: The microcrystalline structure revealed the decrement of the size from (20-36 nm) to (5-7 nm) depending on the copper content percentages. Drug delivering ability of doxycycline hyclate (Dox) was down regulated from 58% to 28%in the presence of the CuO. The inclusion of CuO and Dox didn't show any remarkable changes on the physicochemical properties of the CuO-doped calcium silicate nanoparticles. Conclusion: The CuO-doped calcium silicate sample (5 weight %) exhibited great cytotoxicity against the tested cell lines compared to the CuO-free sample. CuO-doped materials displayed significant anticancer effect; this sheds light on its implication in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemotherapeutic agents (anti-cancer drugs) are small cytostatic or cytotoxic molecules that often bind to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) resulting in modifications of their structural and nanomechanical properties and thus interfering with the cell proliferation process. METHODS We investigated the anthraquinone compound mitoxantrone that is used for treating certain cancer types like leukemia and lymphoma with magnetic tweezers as a single molecule nanosensor. In order to study the association of mitoxantrone with dsDNA, we conducted force-extension and mechanical overwinding experiments with a sensitivity of 10-14 N. RESULTS Using this method, we were able to estimate an equilibrium constant of association Ka ≈ 1 × 105 M-1 as well as a binding site size of n ≈ 2.5 base pairs for mitoxantrone. An unwinding angle of mitoxantrone-intercalation of ϑ ≈ 16° was determined. CONCLUSION Moreover, we observed a complex concentration-dependent bimodal binding behavior, where mitoxantrone associates to dsDNA as an intercalator and groove binder simultaneously at low concentrations and as a mere intercalator at high concentrations.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes are broadly used in many biotechnological applications to detect and visualize DNA molecules. However, their binding to DNA alters the structural and nanomechanical properties of DNA and, thus, interferes with associated biological processes. In this work we employed magnetic tweezers and fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate the binding of PicoGreen to DNA at room temperature in a concentration-dependent manner. PicoGreen is an ultrasensitive quinolinium nucleic acid stain exhibiting hardly any background signal from unbound dye molecules. By means of stretching and overwinding single, torsionally constrained, nick-free double-stranded DNA molecules, we acquired force-extension and supercoiling curves which allow quantifying DNA contour length, persistence length and other thermodynamical binding parameters, respectively. The results of our magnetic tweezers single-molecule binding study were well supported through analyzing the fluorescent spectra of stained DNA. On the basis of our work, we could identify a concentration-dependent bimodal binding behavior, where, apparently, PicoGreen associates to DNA as an intercalator and minor-groove binder simultaneously.

Abstract
A small library of novel copper and zinc imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine complexes have been synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by X-ray diffraction crystallography and a selection of these compounds was tested against five cancer cell lines originating from breast cancer (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), leukemia (K562 and HL-60) and colorectal cancer (HT-29). The imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and their zinc complexes showed poor anticancer activity, while the copper complexes were active against the cancer cell lines with IC50 values comparable to and lower than camptothecin. For example, copper 6-bromo-N-cyclohexyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amine acetate 21 had an IC50 value lower than 1 μM against the HT-29 cells. Fluorescence microscopy with acridine orange, Hoechst 33342 and ethidium bromide, used in a preliminary investigation to evaluate morphological changes showed that copper 6-bromo-N-cyclohexyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amine acetate 21 caused both apoptosis, necrosis and paraptosis in the MCF-7 and HL-60 cells. A select group of copper N-cyclohexyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-amines (26, 27, 29 and 31) induced apoptosis, paraptosis and deformed nuclei in MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Single-molecule force spectroscopy measurements of a DNA duplex comprising an artificial metal-mediated base pair are reported. The measurements reveal that DNA duplexes comprising one central imidazole:imidazole mispair rupture at lower forces than a related duplex with canonical base pairs only. In contrast, DNA duplexes with one central imidazole-Ag(+)-imidazole base pair (formed by the addition of Ag(+) to the aforementioned duplex with the mispair) rupture at higher forces. These measurements indicate for the first time that the increase in thermal stability of a nucleic acid duplex that is observed upon the formation of a metal-mediated base pair is accompanied by a concomitant mechanical stabilization. In fact, the mechanical stabilization even exceeds the thermal one. This result indicates that nucleic acids with metal-mediated base pairs should be ideal building blocks for rigid functionalized DNA nano-objects.

Abstract
Copper is an essential micronutrient involved in fundamental life processes that are conserved throughout all forms of life. The ability of copper to catalyze oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, which can inadvertently lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), necessitates the tight homeostatic regulation of copper within the body. Many cancer types exhibit increased intratumoral copper and/or altered systemic copper distribution. The realization that copper serves as a limiting factor for multiple aspects of tumor progression, including growth, angiogenesis and metastasis, has prompted the development of copper-specific chelators as therapies to inhibit these processes. Another therapeutic approach utilizes specific ionophores that deliver copper to cells to increase intracellular copper levels. The therapeutic window between normal and cancerous cells when intracellular copper is forcibly increased, is the premise for the development of copper-ionophores endowed with anticancer properties. Also under investigation is the use of copper to replace platinum in coordination complexes currently used as mainstream chemotherapies. In comparison to platinum-based drugs, these promising copper coordination complexes may be more potent anticancer agents, with reduced toxicity toward normal cells and they may potentially circumvent the chemoresistance associated with recurrent platinum treatment. In addition, cancerous cells can adapt their copper homeostatic mechanisms to acquire resistance to conventional platinum-based drugs and certain copper coordination complexes can re-sensitize cancer cells to these drugs. This review will outline the biological importance of copper and copper homeostasis in mammalian cells, followed by a discussion of our current understanding of copper dysregulation in cancer, and the recent therapeutic advances using copper coordination complexes as anticancer agents.
