SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 321:124757. [PMID: 38959688 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
With the developing resistance to traditional antiparasitic medications, the purpose of this study was to efficiently develop a series of six noble flavanoidal tetrazinane-6'-one derivatives by a one-pot reaction pathway. FT-IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, and Mass spectra were employed for the structural elucidation of the synthesized compounds (7-12). Clinostomum complanatum, a parasite infection model that has been well-established, demonstrated that all the synthesized compounds are potent antiparasitic agents. DNA is the main target for various medicinal compounds. As a result, thestudy of how small molecules attach to DNA has received a lot of attention. In the present study, we have performed various biophysical techniques to determine the mode of binding of synthesized compounds (7-12) with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA). It was observed from the UV-visible absorbance and fluorescence spectra that all synthesized compounds (7-12) form complexes with the ct-DNA. The value of binding constant (Kb) was obtained to be in the range of 4.36---24.50 × 103 M - 1 at 298 K. Competitive displacement assay with ethidium bromide (EB), CD spectral analysis, viscosity measurements, and in silico molecular docking confirmed that ligands (7-12) incorporate with ct-DNA through groove binding only. Molecular docking studies were performed for all synthesized compounds with the calf thymus DNA and it was found that all the newly synthesized compounds strongly bind with the chain B of DNA in the minor groove with the value of binding energy in the range of -8.54 to -9.04 kcal per mole and several hydrogen bonding interactions.

Abstract
Synthesis of non-platinum transition metal complexes with N,O donor chelating ligand for application against pathogenesis of cancer with higher efficacy and selectivity is currently an important field of research. We assessed the anti-cancer effect of a mixed ligand Ni(II) complex on human breast and lung cancer cell lines in this investigation. Mononuclear mixed ligand octahedral Ni(II) complex [NiIIL(NO3)(MeOH)] complex (1), with tri-dentate phenol-based ligand 2,4-dichloro-6-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl) methyl) phenol (HL) along with methanol and nitrate as ancillary ligand was prepared. Piperazine moiety of the ligand exists as boat conformation in this complex as revealed from single crystal X-ray study. UV-visible spectrum of complex (1) exhibits three distinct d-d bands due to spin-allowed 3 A2 g→3T1 g (P), 3 A2 g→3T1 g(F) and 3 A2 g→3T2 g(F) transitions as expected in an octahedral d8 system. Our study revealed that Complex (1) induces apoptotic cell death in mouse and human cancer cells such as mcf-7, A549 and MDA-MB-231 through transactivation of p53 and its pro-apoptotic downstream targets in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, complex (1) was able to slow the migratory rate of MDA-MB-231 cells' in vitro as well as epithelia -mesenchymal transition (EMT), the key step for metastatic transition and malignancy. Over all our results suggest complex (1) as a potential agent in anti-tumor treatment regimen showing both cytotoxic and anti-metastatic activity against malignant neoplasia.

Abstract
Wastewater treatment has been bestowed with a plethora of materials; among them, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one such kind with exceptional properties. Besides their application in gas adsorption and storage, they are applied in many fields. In orientation toward wastewater treatment, MOFs have been and are being successfully employed to capture a variety of aqueous pollutants, including both organic and inorganic ones. This review sheds light on the postsynthetic modifications (PSMs) performed over MOFs to adsorb and degrade recalcitrant. Modifications performed on the metal nodes and the linkers have been explained with reference to some widely used chemical modifications like alkylation, amination, thiol addition, tandem modifications, and coordinate modifications. The boost in pollutant removal efficacy, reaction rate, adsorption capacity, and selectivity for the modified MOFs is highlighted. The rationale and the robustness of micromotor MOFs, i.e., MOFs with motor activity, and their potential application in the capture of toxic pollutants are also presented for readers. This review also discusses the challenges and future recommendations to be considered in performing PSM over a MOF concerning wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Copper(II) complexes with an α-diimine show a wide variety of biological activities, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and anticancer. In this work, we synthesized and structurally characterized two novel Cu(II) complexes with methyl 3-formyl-4-hydroxybenzoate (HL) and α-diimines: 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen). Crystal structure analysis shows that the formulas of the compounds are [Cu(bipy)(L)(BF4)] (1) and [Cu(phen)(L)(H2O)](BF4)·H2O (2), with BF4- as a ligand in complex 1, which is rarely coordinated to metals. Both complexes have a square pyramidal geometry, while DFT calculations showed that the most stable structures of complexes 1 and 2 in a water/DMSO mixture are square-planar derivatives [Cu(bipy)(L)]+ and [Cu(phen)(L)]+. The antibacterial activity of compounds was evaluated in vitro on four Gram-negative and four Gram-positive bacterial strains. Complex 2 showed greater antibacterial activity towards all bacterial strains comparable to the control compound Amikacin. Complex 2 exerted a strong cytotoxic effect against the tested cancer cell lines (IC50 values ranging from 0.32 to 0.44 μM). Both complexes caused apoptotic cell death in HeLa cells and a noticeable in vitro antiangiogenic effect. In the concentration range of 5 to 100 μM, the complexes showed the absence of a genotoxic effect and displayed a protective effect against oxidative DNA damage induced by H2O2 in human peripheral blood cells. The interaction between the compounds and calf-thymus DNA was evaluated by diverse techniques suggesting a tight binding, which was also confirmed by molecular docking. In addition, it was found that the complexes bind tightly and reversibly to bovine and human serum albumin.

Abstract
We prepared L-amino acids (L-valine and L-serine, respectively) based on the Schiff base Cu2+ complexes CuSV and CuSS in the absence/presence of hydroxyl groups and their imidazole-bound compounds CuSV-Imi and CuSS-Imi to reveal the effects of hydroxyl groups on SOD activity. The structural and spectroscopic features of the Cu2+ complexes were evaluated using X-ray crystallography, UV-vis spectroscopy, and EPR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic behavior upon addition of lysozyme indicated that both CuSV and CuSS were coordinated by the imidazole group of His15 in lysozyme at their equatorial position, leading to the formation of hybrid proteins with lysozyme. CuSS-Imi showed a higher SOD activity than CuSV-Imi, indicating that the hydroxyl group of CuSS-Imi played an important role in the disproportionation of O2 - ion. Hybridization of the Cu2+ complexes CuSV and CuSS with lysozyme resulted in higher SOD activity than that of CuSV-Imi and CuSS-Imi. The improvements in SOD activity suggest that there are cooperative effects between Cu2+ complexes and lysozyme.

Abstract
New Quercetin-phenylalanine metal-based therapeutic agents of the formulation [Qu(Phe)M(II).(H2O)2].NO3 where M(II) = Co(II) and Ni(II) and [Qu(Phe)Cu(II).(H2O)2] were synthesized and their structure was predicted by IR, UV-vis, EPR and ESI-MS spectroscopic techniques. The bio-molecular interaction studies of the Quercetin-phenylalanine complexes, 1-3 with ct-DNA and BSA were performed using a battery of complimentary biophysical techniques. The corroborative results of these experiments revealed strong binding propensity via electrostatic interactions probably through minor grove binding towards ct-DNA, therapeutic target. The binding affinity of Quercetin-phenylalanine complexes 1-3 was quantified by determining binding constants values, Kb, Ksv, and the magnitude of binding propensity followed the order 3 > 1 > 2, implicating the preferential binding of Cu(II) complex 3 with ct-DNA. The cleavage studies were performed with complexes using gel electrophoretic mobility assay. The complexes 1-3 demonstrated efficient cleaving ability by the hydrolytic cleavage pathway involving hydroxyl (OH) radicals. BSA binding profile of Quercetin-phenylalanine metal therapeutics 1-3 was studied in order to understand the drug carrier potential of these compounds and found that complex 3 was capable of binding preferentially with BSA as compared to other complexes.

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 Cu(II) thiolato complex [CuL(imz)] (1) (H2L = o-HOC6H4C(H)=NC6H4SH-o) and the corresponding water-soluble stable sulfinato-O complex [CuL'(imz)] (2) (H2L' = o-HOC6H4C(H)=NC6H4S(=O)OH) were synthesized and characterized using physicochemical techniques. Compound 2 is found to be a dimer in the solid state as characterized using single-crystal X-ray crystallography. XPS studies clearly showed the differences in the sulfur oxidation states in 1 and 2. Both compounds are found to be monomers in solution as revealed from their four-line X-band electron paramagnetic resonance spectra in CH3CN at room temperature (RT). 1-2 were tested to assess their ability to exhibit DNA binding and cleavage activity. Spectroscopic studies and viscosity experiments suggest that 1-2 bind to CT-DNA through the intercalation mode having moderate binding affinity (Kb ∼ 104 M-1). This is further supported by molecular docking studies of complex 2 with CT-DNA. Both complexes display significant oxidative cleavage of pUC19 DNA. Complex 2 also showed hydrolytic DNA cleavage. The interaction of 1-2 with HSA revealed that they have strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA by a static quenching mechanism (kq ∼ 1013 M-1 s-1). This is further complemented by Förster resonance energy transfer studies that revealed binding distances of r = 2.85 and 2.75 nm for 1 and 2, respectively, indicating high potential for energy transfer from HSA to complex. 1-2 were capable of inducing conformational changes of HSA at secondary and tertiary levels as observed from synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy. Molecular docking studies with 2 indicate that it forms strong hydrogen bonds with Gln221 and Arg222 located near the entrance of site-I of HSA. 1-2 showed potential toxicity in human cervical cancer HeLa cells, lung cancer A549 cells, and cisplatin-resistant breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells and appeared to be most potent against HeLa cells (IC50 = 2.04 μM for 1 and 1.86 μM for 2). In HeLa cells, 1-2 mediated cell cycle arrest in S and G2/M phases, which progressed into apoptosis. Apoptotic features seen from Hoechst and AO/PI staining, damaged cytoskeleton actin viewed from phalloidin staining, and increased caspase-3 activity upon treatment with 1-2 collectively suggested that they induced apoptosis in HeLa cells via caspase activation. This is further supported by western blot analysis of the protein sample extracted from HeLa cells treated with 2.

Abstract
A novel hybrid protein composed of a superoxide dismutase-active Cu(II) complex (CuST) and lysozyme (CuST@lysozyme) was prepared. The results of the spectroscopic and electrochemical analyses confirmed that CuST binds to lysozyme. We determined the crystal structure of CuST@lysozyme at 0.92 Å resolution, which revealed that the His15 imidazole group of lysozyme binds to the Cu(II) center of CuST in the equatorial position. In addition, CuST was fixed in position by the weak axial coordination of the Thr89 hydroxyl group and the hydrogen bond between the guanidinium group of the Arg14 residue and the hydroxyl group of CuST. Furthermore, the combination of CuST with lysozyme did not decrease the superoxide dismutase activity of CuST. Based on the spectral, electrochemical, structural studies, and quantum chemical calculations, an O2- disproportionation mechanism catalyzed by CuST@lysozyme is proposed.

Abstract
Improving the binding of metal complexes to DNA to boost cancer cell cytotoxicity requires fine tuning of their structural and chemical properties. Copper has been used as a metal center in compounds containing intercalating ligands due to its ability to catalytically generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydroxyl radicals (OH˙). We envision the synergy of DNA binding and ROS generation in proximity to target DNA as a powerful chemotherapy treatment. Here, we explore the use of [Cu(2CP-Bz-SMe)]2+ (2CP-Bz-SMe = 1,3-bis(1,10-phenanthrolin-2-yloxy)-N-(4-(methylthio)benzylidene)propan-2-amine) for this purpose by characterizing its cytotoxicity, DNA binding, and ability to affect DNA replication through the polymerase chain reaction - PCR and nuclease assays. We determined the binding (Kb) and Stern-Volmer constants (KSV) for complex-DNA association of 5.8 ± 0.14 × 104 and 1.64 (±0.08), respectively, through absorption titration and competitive fluorescence experiments. These values were superior to those of other Cu-complex intercalators. We hypothesize that the distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry of [Cu(2CP-Bz-SMe)]2+ allows the phenanthroline fragments to be better accommodated into the DNA double helix. Moreover, the aromaticity of these fragments increases the local hydrophobicity thus increasing the affinity for the hydrophobic domains of DNA. Nuclease assays in the presence of common reducing agents ascorbic acid, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, and glutathione showed the effective degradation of DNA due to the in situ generation of OH˙. The [Cu(2CP-Bz-SMe)]2+ complex showed cytotoxicity against the following human cancer cells lines A549, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MG-63 with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 4.62 ± 0.48, 5.20 ± 0.76, 5.70 ± 0.42 and 2.88 ± 0.66 μM, respectively. These low values of IC50, which are promising if compared to that of cisplatin, are ascribed to the synergistic effect of ROS generation with the intercalation ability into the DNA minor grooves and blocking DNA replication. This study introduces new principles for synergizing the chemical and structural properties of intercalation compounds for improved drug-DNA interactions targeting cancer.

Abstract
The influence of pH on the complex formation of phosphoethanolamine and pyrimidine nucleosides (uridine, cytidine and thymidine) with copper(II) ions was studied. All investigations were performed in aqueous solution. The overall stability constants of the complexes and non-covalent compounds were obtained using the potentiometric method with computer calculation of the data. Moreover, equilibrium constants of the reaction were determined. The mode of coordination was obtained using spectroscopic methods. Analysis of the potentiometric and spectroscopic data confirmed the involvement and effectiveness of phosphate groups in species formation as well as the influence of pH on the mode of coordination of the investigated biomaterials. In the next step, studied complexes will be applied as potential biomaterials with biological applications.

Abstract
Targeting the low-oxygen (hypoxic) environments found in many tumours by using redox-active metal complexes is a strategy that can enhance efficacy and reduce the side effects of chemotherapies. We have developed a series of CuII complexes with tridentate pyridine aminophenolate-based ligands for preferential activation in the reduction window provided by hypoxic tissues. Furthermore, ligand functionalization with a pendant CF3 group provides a 19 F spectroscopic handle for magnetic-resonance studies of redox processes at the metal centre and behaviour in cellular environments. The phenol group in the ligand backbone was substituted at the para position with H, Cl, and NO2 to modulate the reduction potential of the CuII centre, giving a range of values below the window expected for hypoxic tissues. The NO2 -substituted complex, which has the highest reduction potential, showed enhanced cytotoxic selectivity towards HeLa cells grown under hypoxic conditions. Cell death occurs by apoptosis, as determined by analysis of the cell morphology. A combination of 19 F NMR and ICP-OES indicates localization of the NO2 complex in HeLa cell nuclei and increased cellular accumulation under hypoxia. This correlates with DNA nuclease activity being the likely origin of cytotoxic activity, as demonstrated by cleavage of DNA plasmids in the presence of the CuII nitro complex and a reducing agent. Selective detection of the paramagnetic CuII complexes and their diamagnetic ligands by 19 F MRI suggests hypoxia-targeting theranostic applications by redox activation.

Abstract
To explore the underlying formation mechanism of luminescent metal nanoclusters (NCs) using a small moiety such as amino acids (outside the milieu of a protein environment) as templates, herein we report blue-emitting copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) using l-tyrosine (l-Tyr) as a capping agent as well as a reducing agent. We also demonstrate the effect of an in situ fibrillation of Tyr on the luminescence and structural properties of NCs. Fluorescence studies along with microscopic imaging revealed the rapid formation of a dityrosine (di-Tyr) moiety in an alkaline medium followed by an aggregated "Tamarix dioica leaf"-like fibrillar pattern along with CuNCs. Our present investigation delineates the role played by π-π interactions in the formation of the fibrillar structures. We substantiated the fundamentals of using a small molecule of a large ligand that can serve as a template and also show how these NCs once formed destroy the fibrils of di-Tyr as a function of time.

Abstract
Copper compounds are promising candidates for next-generation metal anticancer drugs. Therefore, we synthesized and characterized a formate bridged 1D coordination polymer [Cu(L)(HCOO)2]n, (L = 2-methoxy-6-methyl-3-((quinolin-8-ylimino)methyl)chroman-4-ol), PCU1, wherein the Cu(ii) center adopts a square pyramidal coordination environment with adjacent CuCu distances of 5.28 Å. Primarily, in vitro DNA interaction studies revealed a metallopolymer which possesses high DNA binding propensity and cleaves DNA via the oxidative pathway. We further analysed its potential on cancerous cells MCF-7, HeLa, A549, and two non-tumorigenic cells HEK293 and HBE. The selective cytotoxicity potential of PCU1 against A549 cells driven us to examine the mechanistic pathways comprehensively by carrying out various assays viz, cell cycle arrest, Annexin V-FTIC/PI assay, autophagy, intercellular localization, mitochondrial membrane potential 'MMP', antiproliferative assay, and gene expression of TGF-β and MMP-2.

Abstract
Copper is an essential trace element with vital roles in many metalloenzymes; it is also prominent among nonplatinum anticancer metallodrugs. Copper-based complexes are endogenously biocompatible, tenfold more potent than cisplatin, exhibit fewer adverse effects, and have a wide therapeutic window. In cancer biology, copper acts as an antitumor agent by inhibiting cancer via multiple pathways. Herein, we present an overview of advances in copper complexes as 'lead' antitumor drug candidates, and in understanding their biochemical and pharmacological pathways over the past 5 years. This review will help to develop more efficacious therapeutics to improve clinical outcomes for cancer treatments.

Abstract
Four new water soluble Co(ii), Cu(ii) and Zn(ii) ionic metal complexes (1-4) [Cu(diimine)(H2O)2(glycinate)]+[glycinate]-, [Co(diimine)(H2O)4]+[glycinate]- and [Zn(diimine) (H2O)4]+[glycinate]-, where diimine = 2,2'-bipyridine (1-3) and 1,10-phenanthroline (4) were synthesized and thoroughly characterized by spectroscopic and single X-ray crystallographic studies. Complex 1 possesses a triclinic crystal system with a penta-coordinated geometry whereas complexes 2-4 crystallized in an isostructural monoclinic system having distorted octahedral geometry. Density functional theory (DFT) studies for complexes 1-4 were performed to correlate their geometrical parameters and to calculate the energy of frontier molecular orbitals. The corroborative results of spectroscopic and voltammetric studies with ct-DNA and tRNA revealed that the complexes bind noncovalently via an electrostatic mode of binding with specificity for tRNA as compared to ct-DNA. Gel electrophoresis experiments revealed that all the complexes unwind the plasmid pBR322 DNA at low micromolar concentrations (2-9 μM) following an oxidative mechanism for Cu(ii) and Co(ii) complexes (1, 2 and 4) whereas the Zn(ii) complex (3) mediates DNA cleavage by the hydrolytic pathway. The tRNA cleavage showed concentration and time dependent activity of the complexes to promote RNA hydrolysis. Furthermore, the BSA binding ability of complexes 1-4 was monitored, which revealed that the complexes could quench the intrinsic fluorescence in a static manner. Complexes 1-4 were found to be non-toxic towards normal prostate epithelial cells, PNT2, but were potent against chemoresistant metastatic prostate cancer cells, Du145, with GI50 values ranging from 12.75-37 μM. Complexes 1 and 2 also showed cytotoxic activity against cancer stem cells having GI50 values of 14.70 and 14.90 μM, respectively. Molecular docking studies were performed with DNA and tRNA which further validated the spectroscopic analysis demonstrating the higher binding affinity of the complexes towards tRNA.

Induction of Redox-Mediated Cell Death in ER-Positive and ER-Negative Breast Cancer Cells by a Copper(II)-Phenolate Complex: An In Vitro and In Silico Study. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25194504. [PMID: 33019623 PMCID: PMC7583785 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25194504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Revised: 09/28/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
This research was aimed at finding the cytotoxic potential of the mixed ligand copper(II) complex [Cu(tdp)(phen)](ClO4)—where H(tdp) is the tetradentate ligand 2-[(2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-ethylimino)methyl]phenol, and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline—to two genotypically different breast cancer cells, MCF-7 (p53+ and ER+) and MDA-MB-231 (p53- and ER-). The complex has been already shown to be cytotoxic to ME180 cervical carcinoma cells. The special focus in this study was the induction of cell death by apoptosis and necrosis, and its link with ROS. The treatment brought about nuclear fragmentation, phosphatidylserine externalization, disruption of mitochondrial trans-membrane potential, DNA damage, cell cycle arrest at sub-G1 phase, and increase of ROS generation, followed by apoptotic death of cells during early hours and a late onset of necrosis in the cells surviving the apoptosis. The efficacy of the complex against genotypically different breast cancer cells is attributed to a strong association through p53-mitochondrial redox—cell cycle junction. The ADMET properties and docking of the complex at the active site of Top1 are desirable attributes of a lead molecule for development into a therapeutic. Thus, it is shown that the copper(II)–phenolate complex[Cu(tdp)(phen)]+ offers potential to be developed into a therapeutic for breast cancers in general and ER-negative ones in particular.

β-Carboline copper complex as a potential mitochondrial-targeted anticancer chemotherapeutic agent: Favorable attenuation of human breast cancer MCF7 cells via apoptosis.

Abstract
The development of preferentially selective cancer chemotherapeutics is a new trend in drug research. Thus, we designed and synthesized novel ternary complexes, [Cu(tryp)(Hnor)2(DMSO)]NO3 (1) and [Zn(tryp)(Hnor)2(DMSO)]NO3(2) (tryp = DL-Tryptophane; Hnor = Norharmane, β-carboline; DMSO = Dimethyl sulfoxide), characterized with elemental analysis, FTIR, UV–vis, FL, NMR, ESI-MS, and molar conductivity. Furthermore, the TD-DFT studies with UV–vis and FTIR validated the proposed structures of 1 and 2. Moreover, we evaluated the HOMO-LUMO energy gap and found that 1 has a smaller energy gap than 2. Then, 1 and 2 were assessed for anticancer chemotherapeutic potential against cancer cell lines MCF7 (human breast cancer) and HepG2 (human liver hepatocellular carcinoma) as well as the non-tumorigenic HEK293 (human embryonic kidney) cells. The MTT assay illustrated the preferentially cytotoxic behavior of 1 when compared with that of 2 and cisplatin (standard drug) against MCF7 cells. Moreover, 1 was exposed to MCF7 cells, and the results indicated the arrest of the G2/M phases, which followed the apoptotic pathway predominantly. Generation of ROS, GSH depletion, and elevation in LPO validated the redox changes prompted by 1. These studies establish the great potential of 1 as a candidate for anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
A series of Cu(diimine)(X-sal)(NO3) complexes, where the diimine is either 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and X-sal is a monoanionic halogenated salicylaldehyde (X = Cl, Br, I, or H), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. Penta-coordinate geometries copper(II) were observed for all cases. The influence of the diimine coligands and different halogen atoms on the antiproliferative activities toward human cancer cell lines have been investigated. All Cu(II) complexes were able to induce a loss of A2780 ovarian carcinoma cell viability, with phen derivatives more active than bpy derivatives. In contrast, no in vitro antiproliferative effects were observed against the HCT116 colorectal cancer cell line. These cytotoxicity differences were not due to a different intracellular concentration of the complexes determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. A small effect of different halogen substituents on the phenolic ring was observed, with X = Cl being the most highly active toward A2780 cells among the phen derivatives, while X = Br presented the lowest IC50 in A2780 cells for bpy analogs. Importantly, no reduction in normal primary fibroblasts cell viability was observed in the presence of bpy derivatives (IC50 > 40 μM). Mechanistically, complex 1 seems to induce a stronger apoptotic response with a higher increase in mitochondrial membrane depolarization and an increased level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) compared to complex 3. Together, these data and the low IC50 compared to cisplatin in A2780 ovarian carcinoma cell line demonstrate the potential of these bpy derivatives for further in vivo studies.

Abstract
In the present paper, we synthesized and characterized four N-donor polypyridyl copper(II) complexes (C1-C4); [Cu(mono-CN-PIP)2]2+ (C1), [Cu(tri-OMe-PIP)2]2+ (C2), [Cu(di-CF3-PIP)2]2+ (C3) and [Cu(DPPZ)2]2+ (C4). The (Calf-Thymus) CT-DNA binding studies depicted that the complexes could interact with DNA via intercalative mode. All the complexes, particularly C3 and C4 attenuated the proliferation as well as migration of various cancer cells, indicating their anti-cancer and anti-metastatic activity. Additionally, chick embryo angiogenesis (CEA) assay exhibited the inhibition of vascular sprouting in presence of C3 and C4, suggesting their potential in inhibiting the blood vessel growth. Mechanistic studies revealed that the complexes induced the excessive production of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to apoptosis through up regulation of p53 and downregulation of Bcl-xL, which might be the plausible mechanisms underlying their anti-cancer properties. To understand the feasibility of practical application of anti-cancer copper complexes C3 and C4, in vivo sub-chronic toxicity study (4 weeks) was performed in C57BL6 mice and the results exhibited almost non-toxic effects induced by these complexes in terms of haematology and serum biochemical analyses, suggesting their biocompatible nature. The current study provides the basis for future advancement of other novel biocompatible metal complexes that could be employed for the therapy of different cancers.

Abstract
A new asymmetrical Schiff base ligand, N1-(3-((pyridin-2-ylmethylene)amino)propyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, and its copper(II) complex, [Cu(PPEA)Br]Br·H2O (1), have been prepared. The copper complex has an elongated square pyramidal geometry with a CuN4Br environment. The thermodynamic stability of the compounds and their charge distribution patterns were studied by Density Functional Theory and natural bond orbital analysis. The ability of the ligand and its copper complex to interact with 10 selected biomacromolecules (BRAF kinase, CatB, DNA gyrase, HDAC7, rHA, RNR, TrxR, TS, Top II and B-DNA) was investigated by docking studies and compared with that of doxorubicin.
