Abstract
Pt(II) drugs are a widely used chemotherapeutic, yet their side effects can be severe. Here we show that the radiation-induced reduction of Pt(IV) complexes to cytotoxic Pt(II) drugs is rapid, efficient and applicable in water, that it is mediated by hydrated electrons from water radiolysis and that the X-ray-induced release of Pt(II) drugs from an oxaliplatin prodrug in tumours inhibits their growth, as we show with nearly complete tumour regression in mice with subcutaneous human tumour xenografts. The combination of low-dose radiotherapy with a Pt(IV)-based antibody-trastuzumab conjugate led to the tumour-selective release of the chemotherapeutic in mice and to substantial therapeutic benefits. The radiation-induced local reduction of platinum prodrugs in the reductive tumour microenvironment may expand the utility of radiotherapy.

Abstract
Light-induced release of cisplatin from Pt(IV) prodrugs represents a promising approach for precise control over the antiproliferative activity of Pt-based chemotherapeutic drugs. This method has the potential to overcome crucial drawbacks of conventional cisplatin therapy, such as high general toxicity toward healthy organs and tissues. Herein, we report two Pt(IV) prodrugs with BODIPY-based photoactive ligands Pt-1 and Pt-2, which were designed using carbamate and triazole linkers, respectively. Both prodrugs demonstrated the ability to release cisplatin under blue light irradiation without the requirement of an external reducing agent. Dicarboxylated Pt-2 prodrug turned out to be more stable in the dark and more sensitive to light than its monocarbamate Pt-1 counterpart; these observations were explained using DFT calculations. The investigation of the photoreduction mechanism of Pt-1 and Pt-2 prodrugs using DFT modeling and ΔG0 PET estimation suggests that the photoinduced electron transfer from the singlet excited state of the BODIPY axial ligand to the Pt(IV) center is the key step in the light-induced release of cisplatin from the complexes. Cytotoxicity studies demonstrated that both prodrugs were nontoxic in the dark and toxic to MCF-7 cells under low-dose irradiation with blue light, and the observed effect was solely due to the cisplatin release from the Pt(IV) prodrugs. Our research presents an elegant synthetic approach to light-activated Pt(IV) prodrugs and presents findings that may contribute to the future rational design of photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrugs.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the dominance of a Ni(0/II/III) cycle for Ni-photoredox amide arylation, which contrasts with other Ni-photoredox C-heteroatom couplings that operate via Ni(I/III) self-sustained cycles. The kinetic data gathered when using different Ni precatalysts supports an initial Ni(0)-mediated oxidative addition into the aryl bromide. Using NiCl2 as the precatalyst resulted in an observable induction period, which was found to arise from a photochemical activation event to generate Ni(0) and to be prolonged by unproductive comproportionation between the Ni(II) precatalyst and the in situ generated Ni(0) active species. Ligand exchange after oxidative addition yields a Ni(II) aryl amido complex, which was identified as the catalyst resting state for the reaction. Stoichiometric experiments showed that oxidation of this Ni(II) aryl amido intermediate was required to yield functionalized amide products. The kinetic data presented supports a rate-limiting photochemically-mediated Ni(II/III) oxidation to enable C-N reductive elimination. An alternative Ni(I/III) self-sustained manifold was discarded based on EPR and kinetic measurements. The mechanistic insights uncovered herein will inform the community on how subtle changes in Ni-photoredox reaction conditions may impact the reaction pathway, and have enabled us to include aryl chlorides as coupling partners and to reduce the Ni loading by 20-fold without any reactivity loss.

Abstract
Cancer treatment requires the participation of multiple targets/pathways, and single approach is hard to effectively curb the proliferation and metastasis of carcinoma cells. In this work, we conjugated FDA-approved riluzole and platinum(II) drugs into a series of unreported riluzole-Pt(IV) compounds, which were designed to simultaneously target DNA, the solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11, xCT), and the human ether a go-go related gene 1 (hERG1), to exert synergistic anticancer effect. Among them, c,c,t-[PtCl2(NH3)2(OH)(glutarylriluzole)] (compound 2) displayed excellent antiproliferative activity with IC50 value of 300-times lower than that of cisplatin in HCT-116, and optimal selectivity index between carcinoma and human normal liver cells (LO2). Mechanism studies indicated that compound 2 released riluzole and active Pt(II) species after entering cells to exhibit a prodrug behavior against cancer, which obviously increased DNA-damage and cell apoptosis, as well as suppressed metastasis in HCT-116. Compound 2 persisted in the xCT-target of riluzole and blocked the biosynthesis of glutathione (GSH) to trigger oxidative stress, which could boost the killing to cancer cells and reduce Pt-drug resistance. Meanwhile, compound 2 significantly inhibited invasion and metastasis of HCT-116 cells by targeting hERG1 to interrupt the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases/proteinserine-threonine kinase (PI3K/Akt), and reverse epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). Based on our results, the riluzole-Pt(IV) prodrugs studied in this work could be regarded as a new class of very promising candidates for cancer treatment compared to traditional platinum drugs.

Predicting 195 Pt NMR Chemical Shifts in Water-Soluble Inorganic/Organometallic Complexes with a Fast and Simple Protocol Combining Semiempirical Modeling and Machine Learning. Chemphyschem 2023:e202200940.

Abstract
Water-soluble Pt complexes are the key components in medicinal chemistry and catalysis. The well-known cisplatin family of anticancer drugs and industrial hydrosylilation catalysts are two leading examples. On the molecular level, the activity mechanisms of such complexes mostly involve changes in the Pt coordination sphere. Using 195 Pt NMR spectroscopy for operando monitoring would be a valuable tool for uncovering the activity mechanisms; however, reliable approaches for the rapid correlation of Pt complex structure with 195 Pt chemical shifts are very challenging and not available for everyday research practice. While NMR shielding is a response property, molecular 3D structure determines NMR spectra, as widely known, which allows us to build up 3D structure to 195 Pt chemical shift correlations. Accordingly, we present a new workflow for the determination of lowest-energy configurational/conformational isomers based on the GFN2-xTB semiempirical method and prediction of corresponding chemical shifts with a Machine Learning (ML) model tuned for Pt complexes. The workflow was designed for the prediction of 195 Pt chemical shifts of water-soluble Pt(II) and Pt(IV) anionic, neutral, and cationic complexes with halide, NO2 - , (di)amino, and (di)carboxylate ligands with chemical shift values ranging from -6293 to 7090 ppm. The model offered an accuracy (normalized root-mean-square deviation/RMSD) of 1.08 %/145.02 ppm on the held-out test set.

Abstract
Photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrugs represent nowadays an intriguing class of potential metal-based drugs, endowed with more chemical inertness in their oxidized form and better selectivity for the target with respect to the clinically established Pt(II) compounds. In fact, they have the possibility to be reduced by light irradiation directly at the site of interest. For this reason, we synthesized a new Pt(IV) complex, [Pt(OCOCH3)3(4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)][CF3SO3] (1), that is well soluble in aqueous medium and totally unreactive towards selected model biomolecules until its reduction. The highlight of this work is the rapid and efficient photoreduction of 1 with visible light (460 nm), which leads to its reactive Pt(II) analogue. This behavior was made possible by taking advantage of an efficient catalytic system based on flavin and NADH, which is naturally present in the cellular environment. As a comparison, the reduction of 1 was also studied with simple UV irradiation, but both UV-Vis spectrophotometry and 1H-NMR spectrometry showed that the flavin-catalyzed reduction with visible light was faster. Lastly, the reactivity against two representative biological targets, i.e., human serum albumin and one monofilament oligonucleotide fragment, was evaluated by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The results clearly pointed out that the prodrug 1 did not interact with these targets until its photoreduction to the Pt(II) analogue.

Anticancer Activity, Reduction Mechanism and G-Quadruplex DNA Binding of a Redox-Activated Platinum(IV)-Salphen Complex. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415579.

Abstract
Aiming at reducing the unselective cytotoxicity of Pt(II) chemotherapeutics, a great deal of effort has been concentrated into the design of metal-containing drugs with different anticancer mechanisms of action. Inert Pt(IV) prodrugs have been proposed to be a valid alternative as they are activated by reduction directly into the cell releasing active Pt(II) species. On the other hand, a promising strategy for designing metallodrugs is to explore new potential biological targets rather than canonical B-DNA. G-quadruplex nucleic acid, obtained by self-assembly of guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences, has recently been considered an attractive target for anticancer drug design. Therefore, compounds capable of binding and stabilizing this type of DNA structure would be greatly beneficial in anticancer therapy. Here, computational analysis reports the mechanism of action of a recently synthesized Pt(IV)-salphen complex conjugating the inertness of Pt(IV) prodrugs with the ability to bind G-quadruplexes of the corresponding Pt(II) complex. The reduction mechanism of the Pt(IV) complex with a biological reducing agent was investigated in depth by means of DFT, whereas classical MD simulations were carried out to shed light into the binding mechanism of the released Pt(II) complex. The results show that the Pt(IV) prodrug may be reduced by both inner- and outer-sphere mechanisms, and the active Pt(II) complex, as a function of its protonation state, stabilizes the G-quadruplex DNA prevalently, either establishing π-stacking interactions with the terminal G-tetrad or through electrostatic interactions along with H-bonds formation.

Abstract
A self-preservation Pt(IV) nanoplatform, amorphous ferric oxide-coating selenium core-shell nanoparticles (iAIO@NSe-Pt), was developed for H2O2 depletion-mediated tumor anti-angiogenesis, apoptosis, and ferroptosis. Upon entry into the blood, the ferric oxide shell effectively blocked the contact Pt(IV) prodrug with reduced molecules, then avoided the inactivation of the Pt(IV) prodrug and increased its accumulation in the tumor. After entering cancer cells, iAIO@NSe-Pt caused a series of cascade reactions: (1) AIO on the surface of iAIO@NSe-Pt quickly dissolved, released an abundance of Fe(II) because of the weakly acidic tumor microenvironment, and then catalyzed cellular H2O2 into highly toxic ˙OH, resulting in cellular H2O2 deficiency and cell ferroptosis. (2) The platinum(IV) prodrugs were exposed and quickly reduced to highly toxic Pt(II) by depleting GSH. This process inactivated GPX4, promoted ROS accumulation, and further accelerated ferroptosis. In addition, the generated Pt(II) quickly inhibited DNA replication, achieving effective apoptotic cell death. Meanwhile, Pt(II) inactivated SOD1, which blocked the synthesis of cellular H2O2 and accelerated ROS (superoxide anion radical) accumulation. (3) The deficiency of cellular H2O2 significantly inhibited the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), blocking tumor angiogenesis and then improving the anticancer effect. (4) After such a cascade reaction, the exposed NSe successively disrupted mitochondrial respiration and inhibited cancer angiogenesis, further inducing cancer cell death. Collectively, our functional and mechanical investigation suggested that iAIO@NSe-Pt exhibits excellent tumor targeting, biocompatibility and anti-tumor efficiency in vitro and in vivo, and provides a novel example of a self-preservation Pt(IV) nanoplatform for H2O2 depletion-mediated tumor anti-angiogenesis, apoptosis, and ferroptosis, showing great promise for future clinical use.

Abstract
This work reports a combined experimental and computational study of the activation of an otherwise catalytically inactive cobalt complex, [Co(TIM)Br2]+, for aqueous nitrite reduction. The presence of phosphate buffer leads to efficient electrocatalysis, with rapid reduction to ammonium occurring close to the thermodynamic potential and with high Faradaic efficiency. At neutral pH, increasing buffer concentrations increase catalytic current while simultaneously decreasing overpotential, although high concentrations have an inhibitory effect. Controlled potential electrolysis and rotating ring-disk electrode experiments indicate that ammonium is directly produced from nitrite by [Co(TIM)Br2]+, along with hydroxylamine. Mechanistic investigations implicate a vital role for the phosphate buffer, specifically as a proton shuttle, although high buffer concentrations inhibit catalysis. These results indicate a role for buffer in the design of electrocatalysts for nitrogen oxide conversion.

Abstract
![]()
An in-depth computational study of the ability of a recently
proposed
multi-action Ru(II)–Pt(IV) conjugate to act as a photosensitizer
in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemotherapeutic drugs is presented
here. The investigated complex is characterized by a polypyridyl Ru(II)
chromophore linked to a Pt(IV) complex that, acting as a prodrug,
should be activated by reduction releasing the Ru-based chromophore
that can absorb light of proper wavelength to be used in PDT. The
reaction mechanism for active species formation has been fully elucidated
by means of density functional theory and its time-dependent extension.
The reduction mechanism, assisted by ascorbate, of the Pt(IV) prodrug
to the Pt(II) active species has been explored, taking into consideration
all the possible modes of attack of the reductant for releasing the
axial ligands and affording active cisplatin. Given the similarity
in the photophysical properties of the chromophore linked or not to
the Pt(IV) complex, both the Ru(II)–Pt(IV) conjugate precursor
and the Ru(II) chromophore should be able to act as PDT photosensitizers
according to type I and type II photoprocesses. In particular, they
are able to generate singlet oxygen cytotoxic species as well as auto-ionize
to form highly reactive O2–• species. A computational study on the ability
of a multi-action Ru(II)−Pt(IV)
conjugate to act as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy (PDT)
and chemotherapeutic drugs is presented here. The reduction mechanism
of the Pt(IV) complex along with the photophysical properties of both
the prodrug Ru(II)−Pt(IV) conjugate and Ru(II) complex is provided.
The mechanism of action has been fully elucidated by means of density
functional theory and its time-dependent extension.

Abstract
We report a water-soluble poly(phenylene ethynylene) (PPE-Pt(IV)) that is functionalized with oxidized oxaliplatin Pt(IV) units and its use for photoactivated chemotherapy. The photoactivation strategy is based on photoinduced electron transfer from the PPE backbone to oxaliplatin Pt(IV) as an electron acceptor; this process triggers the release of oxaliplatin, which is a clinically used anticancer drug. Mechanistic studies carried out using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy coupled with picosecond-nanosecond transient absorption support the hypothesis that electron transfer triggers the drug release. Photoactivation is effective, producing oxaliplatin with a good chemical yield in less than 1 h of photolysis (400 nm, 5 mW cm-2). Photorelease of oxaliplatin from PPE-Pt(IV) can also be effected with two-photon excitation by using 100 fs pulsed light at 725 nm. Cytotoxicity studies using SK-OV-3 human ovarian cancer cells demonstrate that without photoactivation PPE-Pt(IV) is not cytotoxic at concentrations up to 10 μM in polymer repeating unit (PRU) concentration. However, following a short period of 460 nm irradiation, oxaliplatin is released from PPE-Pt(IV), resulting in cytotoxicity at concentrations as low as 2.5 μM PRU.

Abstract
[Pt{(p-BrC6F4)NCH═C(Cl)NEt2}Cl(py)] (1Cl) is the product of the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of the PtII anticancer agent [Pt{(p-BrC6F4)NCH2CH2NEt2}Cl(py)] (1). Insights into electron delocalization and bonding in [Pt{(p-BrC6F4)NCH═C(Cl)NEt2}Cl(py)]+ (1Cl+) obtained by electrochemical oxidation of 1Cl have been gained by spectroscopic and computational studies. The 1Cl/1Cl+ process is chemically and electrochemically reversible on the short time scale of voltammetry in dichloromethane (0.10 M [Bu4N][PF6]). Substantial stability is retained on longer time scales enabling a high yield of 1Cl+ to be generated by bulk electrolysis. In situ IR and visible spectroelectrochemical studies on the oxidation of 1Cl to 1Cl+ and the reduction of 1Cl+ back to 1Cl confirm the long-term chemical reversibility. DFT calculations indicate only a minor contribution to the electron density (13%) resides on the Pt metal center in 1Cl+, indicating that the 1Cl/1Cl+ oxidation process is extensively ligand-based. Published X-ray crystallographic data show that 1Cl is present in only one structural form, while NMR data on the dissolved crystals revealed the presence of two closely related structural forms in an almost equimolar ratio. Solution-phase EPR spectra of 1Cl+ are consistent with two closely related structural forms in a ratio of about 90:10. The average g value for the frozen solution spectra (2.0567 for the major species) is significantly greater than the 2.0023 expected for a free radical. Crystal field analysis of the EPR spectra leads to an estimate of the 5d(xz) character of around 10% in 1Cl+. Analysis of X-ray absorption fine structure derived from 1Cl+ also supports the presence of a delocalized singly occupied metal molecular orbital with a spin density of approximately 17% on Pt. Accordingly, the considerably larger electron density distribution on the ligand framework (diminished PtIII character) is proposed to contribute to the increased stability of 1Cl+ compared to that of 1+.

Abstract
Widespread atrazine use is associated with an increasing incidence of contamination of drinking water. Thus, a biosensor using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) was developed to detect the amount of atrazine in water to ensure prevention of exposure levels that could lead to reproductive effects in living organisms. In this study, the influence of the porogen on the selectivity of MIPs was investigated. The porogen plays a pivotal role in molecular imprinting as it affects the physical properties and governs the prepolymerization complex of the resulting polymer, which in turn firmly defines the recognition properties of the resulting molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). Therefore, bulk MIPs against atrazine (Atr) were synthesized based on methacrylic acid (MAA) as a functional monomer and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinker; they were prepared in toluene and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The imprinting factor, binding capacity, and structural stability were evaluated using the respective porogenic solvents. Along with the characterization of the morphology of the obtained polymers via SEM and BET analysis, the kinetic and adsorption analyses were demonstrated and verified. The highest imprinting factor, binding capacity, and the highest structural stability were found to be on polymer synthesized in a medium of MAA and EGDMA, which contained 90% toluene and 10% DMSO as porogen. Moreover, the response for Atr concentrations by the PVC-based electrochemical sensor was found to be at a detection limit of 0.0049 μM (S/N = 3). The sensor proved to be an effective sensor with high sensitivity and low Limit of Detection (LOD) for Atr detection. The construction of the sensor will act as a baseline for a fully functionalized membrane sensor.

Abstract
Alterations in lipid metabolism, commonly disregarded in the past, have been accepted as a hallmark for cancer. Exploring cancer therapeutics that interrupt the lipid metabolic pathways by monotherapy or combination with conventional chemotherapy or immunotherapy is of great importance. Here we modified cisplatin with an FDA-approved hypolipidemic drug, bezafibrate (BEZ), via the well-established Pt(IV) strategy, affording two multi-functional Pt(IV) anticancer agents cis,cis,trans-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2(BEZ)(OH)] (CB) and cis,cis,trans-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2(BEZ)2] (CP) (BEZ = bezafibrate). The Pt(IV) prodrug CB exhibited an enhanced anticancer activity up to 187-fold greater than the clinical anticancer drug cisplatin. Both CB and CP had less toxicity to normal cells, showing higher efficacies and superior therapeutic indexes than cisplatin. Mechanism studies revealed that the bezafibrate-conjugated Pt(IV) complex CB, as a representative, could massively accumulate in A549 cells and genomic DNA, induce DNA damage, elevate intracellular ROS levels, perturb mitochondrial transmembrane potentials, activate the cellular metabolic sensor AMPK, and result in profound proliferation inhibition and apoptosis. Further cellular data also provided evidence that phosphorylation of AMPK, as a metabolic sensor, could suppress the downstream HMGB1, NF-κB, and VEGFA, which may contribute to the inhibition of angiogenesis and metastasis. Our study suggests that the antitumor action of CB and CP mechanistically distinct from the conventional platinum drugs and that functionalizing platinum-based agents with lipid-modulating agents may represent a novel practical strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract
A detailed computational exploration of the most relevant steps of iodido Pt(IV) complexes reduction and Pt(II) drugs mechanism of action and eventual deactivation is presented here inspired by the recent findings on iodido Pt(II) complexes and surprising re-evaluation of their cytotoxic activity. Pt(II) and Pt(IV) model systems are investigated and compared with cisplatin and its Pt(IV) derivative. Both monodeprotonated ascorbic acid and l-cysteine are used as reducing agents in the inner-sphere reduction mechanism of Pt(IV) complexes. Aquation mechanism of iodido Pt(II) complexes, interaction with guanine and sulfur containing compounds and reaction with the model protein hen egg white lysozyme are explored, due to a detected different behavior with respect to classical platinum drugs. The outcomes of such exploration allow to shed light on the role that the increased soft character together with bridging and leaving abilities of iodide over chloride could play in determining the cytotoxic profile of iodido Pt drugs.

Abstract
The problems of resistance and side effects associated with cisplatin and other chemotherapeutic drugs have boosted research aimed at finding new compounds with improved properties. The use of platinum(IV) prodrugs is one alternative, although there is some controversy regarding the predictive ability of the peak reduction potentials. In the work described here a series of fourteen chloride Pt(II) and Pt(IV) compounds was synthesised and fully characterised. The compounds contain different bidentate arylazole heterocyclic ligands. Their cytotoxic properties against human lung carcinoma (A549), human breast carcinoma (MCF7) and human colon carcinoma (HCT116 and HT29) cell lines were studied. A clear relationship between the type of ligand and the anti-proliferative properties was found, with the best results obtained for the Pt(II) compound that contains an aniline fragment, (13), thus evidencing a positive effect of the NH2 group. Stability and aquation studies in DMSO, DMF and DMSO/water mixtures were carried out on the active complexes and an in-depth analysis of the two aquation processes, including DFT analysis, of 13 was undertaken. It was verified that DNA was the target and that cell death occurred by apoptosis in the case of 13. Furthermore, the cytotoxic derivatives did not exhibit haemolytic activity. The reduction of the Pt(IV) compounds whose Pt(II) congeners were active was studied by several techniques. It was concluded that the peak reduction potential was not useful to predict the ability for reduction. However, a correlation between the cytotoxic activity and the standard reduction potential was found.

Abstract
The potential role of cyanide-bridged platinum-iron complexes as an anti-cancer Pt(IV) prodrug is studied. We present design principles of a dual-function prodrug that can upon reduction dissociate and release concurrently six cisplatin units and a ferricyanide anion per prodrug unit. The prodrug molecule is a unique complex of hepta metal centers consisting of a ferricyanide core with six Pt(IV) centers each bonded to the Fe(III) core through a cyano ligand. The functionality of the prodrug is addressed through density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Kinetic Analysis of the Reduction Processes of a Cisplatin Pt(IV) Prodrug by Mesna, Thioglycolic Acid, and Thiolactic Acid. J CHEM-NY 2020.

Abstract
Although Mesna is an FDA-approved chemotherapeutic adjuvant and an antioxidant based largely on its antioxidative properties, kinetic and mechanistic studies of its redox reactions are limited. A kinetic analysis of the reduction processes of cis-diamminetetrachloroplatinum(IV) (cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl4], a cisplatin Pt(IV) prodrug) by thiol-containing compounds Mesna, thioglycolic acid (TGA), and DL-thiolactic acid (TLA) was carried out in this work at 25.0°C and 1.0 M ionic strength. The reduction processes were followed under pseudo-first-order conditions and were found to strictly obey overall second-order kinetics; the observed second-order rate constant k′ versus pH profiles were established in a wide pH range. A general reaction stoichiometry of Δ[Pt(IV)] : Δ[Thiol]tot = 1 : 2 was revealed for all the thiols; the thiols were oxidized to their corresponding disulfides which were identified by mass spectrometry. Reaction mechanisms are proposed which involves all the prololytic species of the thiols attacking the Pt(IV) prodrug in parallel, designating as the rate-determining steps. Transient species chlorothiol and/or chlorothiolate are formed in these steps; for each particular thiol, these transient species can be trapped rapidly by another thiol molecule which is in excess in the reaction mixture, giving rise to a disulfide as the oxidation product. The rate constants of the rate-determining steps were elucidated, revealing reactivity enhancements of (1.4–8.9) × 105 times when the thiols become thiolates. The species versus pH and reactivity of species versus pH distribution diagrams were constructed, demonstrating that the species ‒SCH2CH2SO3‒ of Mesna largely governs the total reactivity when pH > 5; in contrast, the form of Mesna per se (mainly as HSCH2CH2SO3‒) makes a negligible contribution. In addition, a well-determined dissociation constant for the Mesna thiol group (pKa2 = 8.85 ± 0.05 at 25.0°C and μ = 1.0 M) is offered in this work, which was determined by both kinetic approach and spectrophotometic titration method.

Abstract
Platinum(IV) complexes are extensively studied for their activity against cancer cells as potential substitutes for the widely used platinum(II) drugs. PtIV complexes are kinetically inert and need to be reduced to PtII species to play their pharmacological action, thus acting as prodrugs. The mechanism of the reduction step inside the cell is however still largely unknown. Gas-phase activation of deprotonated platinum(IV) prodrugs was found to generate products in which platinum has a formal +3 oxidation state. IR multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy is thus used to obtain structural information helping to define the nature of both the platinum atom and the ligands. In particular, comparison of calculations at DFT, MP2 and CCSD levels with experimental results demonstrates that the localization of the radical is about equally shared between the dxz orbital of platinum and the pz of nitrogen on the amino group, the latter acting as a non-innocent ligand.

Abstract
Although Pt(II)-based drugs are widely used to treat cancer, very few molecules have been approved for routine use in chemotherapy due to their side-effects on healthy tissues. A new approach to reducing the toxicity of these drugs is generating a prodrug by increasing the oxidation state of the metallic center to Pt(IV), a less reactive form that is only activated once it enters a cell. We used theoretical tools to combine the parent Pt(IV) prodrug, oxoplatin, with the most recent FDA-approved anti-cancer drug set published by the National Institute of Health (NIH). The only prerequisite imposed for the latter was the presence of one carboxylic group in the structure, a chemical feature that ensures a link to the coordination sphere via a simple esterification procedure. Our calculations led to a series of bifunctional prodrugs ranked according to their relative stabilities and activation profiles. Of all the designed molecules, the combination of oxoplatin with aminolevulinic acid as the bioactive ligand emerged as the most promising strategy by which to design enhanced dual-potency oncology drugs.

Abstract
Multiple pathogenic elements, including reactive oxygen species, amyloidogenic proteins, and metal ions, are associated with the development of neurodegenerative disorders. We report minimalistic redox-based principles for preparing compact aromatic compounds by derivatizing the phenylene moiety with various functional groups. These molecular agents display enhanced reactivities against multiple targets such as free radicals, metal-free amyloid-β (Aβ), and metal-bound Aβ that are implicated in the most common form of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mechanistic studies reveal that the redox properties of these reagents are essential for their function. Specifically, they engage in oxidative reactions with metal-free and metal-bound Aβ, leading to chemical modifications of the Aβ peptides to form covalent adducts that alter the aggregation of Aβ. Moreover, the administration of the most promising candidate significantly attenuates the amyloid pathology in the brains of AD transgenic mice and improves their cognitive defects. Our studies demonstrate an efficient and effective redox-based strategy for incorporating multiple functions into simple molecular reagents.

Abstract
The study of Pt(IV) antitumor prodrugs able to circumvent some drawbacks of the conventional Pt(II) chemotherapeutics is the focus of a lot of attention. This paper reports a thorough study based on experimental methods (reduction kinetics, electrochemistry, tandem mass spectrometry and IR ion spectroscopy) and quantum-mechanical DFT calculations on the reduction mechanism of cisplatin-based Pt(IV) derivatives having two hydroxido (1), one hydroxido and one acetato (2), or two acetato ligands (3) in axial position. The biological reductants glutathione and ascorbic acid were taken into consideration. The presence of a hydroxido ligand resulted to play an important role in the chemical reduction with ascorbic acid, as verified by 15N-NMR kinetic analysis using 15N-enriched complexes. The reactivity trend (1 > 2 > 3) does not reflect the respective reduction peak potentials (1 < 2 < 3), an inverse relationship already documented in similar systems. Turning to a simplified environment, the Pt(IV) complexes associated with a single reductant molecule (corresponding to the encounter complex occurring along the reaction coordinate in bimolecular reactions in solution) were characterized by IR ion spectroscopy and sampled for their reactivity under collision-induced dissociation (CID) conditions. The complexes display a comparable reduction reactivity ordering as that observed in solution. DFT calculations of the free energy pathways for the observed fragmentation reactions provide theoretical support for the CID patterns and the mechanistic hypotheses on the reduction process are corroborated by the observed reaction paths. The bulk of these data offers a clue of the intricate pathways occurring in solution.Graphic abstract.

Abstract
Quantum mechanics (QM) methods provide a fine description of receptor-ligand interactions and of chemical reactions. Their use in drug design and drug discovery is increasing, especially for complex systems including metal ions in the binding sites, for the design of highly selective inhibitors, for the optimization of bi-specific compounds, to understand enzymatic reactions, and for the study of covalent ligands and prodrugs. They are also used for generating molecular descriptors for predictive QSAR/QSPR models and for the parameterization of force fields. Thanks to the continuous increase of computational power offered by GPUs and to the development of sophisticated algorithms, QM methods are becoming part of the standard tools used in computer-aided drug design (CADD). We present the most used QM methods and software packages, and we discuss recent representative applications in drug design and drug discovery.

Abstract
Enhanced sampling molecular dynamics has been used to model the reduction mechanism of the antitumoral Asplatin Pt(IV) complex, c,c,t-[PtCl2(NH3)2(OH)(aspirin)] in the presence of l-ascorbic acid as reducing agent. In order to overcome the timescale problem, characteristic of many chemical reactions, we enhanced the sampling of the free energy landscape using Metadynamics. To achieve such a goal, the selection of adequate collective variables is crucial for the application of the method. Recently, a new method called Multi-Class Harmonic Linear Discriminant Analysis (MC-HLDA) has been proposed as a tool for constructing collective variables (CVs) for complex chemical processes. The method reduces the dimensionality of the variable space by generating appropriate linear combinations of several relevant chemical descriptors. The aim of this work is to assess the ability and performance of this method in describing the fundamental features of complex chemical reactions such as the Asplatin reduction mechanism in a compact, simple, and physically transparent manner. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Kinetically inert platinum(IV) complexes are receiving growing attention as promising candidates in the effort to develop safe and valid alternatives to classical square-planar Pt(II) complexes currently used in antineoplastic therapy. Their antiproliferative activity requires intracellular Pt(IV)-Pt(II) reduction (activation by reduction). In the present work, a set of five Pt(IV) complexes has been assayed using mass spectrometry-based techniques, i.e., collision-induced dissociation (CID), and IR multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy, together with ab initio theoretical investigations. Breakdown and reduction mechanisms are observed that lead to Pt(II) species. Evidence is found for typically transient Pt(III) intermediates along the dissociation paths of isolated, negatively charged (electron-rich) Pt(IV) prodrug complexes.

Abstract
The clinical translation remains a major challenge for platinum drug loaded nanoparticle due to the complexity of composition and preparation. Here we employed only three ingredients to prepare Pt (IV) prodrug-loaded ligand-induced self-assembled nanoparticles (GA-ALG@Pt NPs) via facile one-pot route for liver tumor treatment. GA-ALG@Pt NPs were found equipped with intelligently ligand self-shielded property in which the internal GA could be induced to expose by initial cellular recognition, resulting in strengthened cellular uptake (20%-30%) and prolonged blood circulation time (3.43 times). Appreciable tumor targeting ability (2 times) and especially tumor selectivity (2.5 times) were obtained. Glutathione-triggered release of therapeutic agent generated satisfactory antitumor effect. Bio-safety is also a distinguishing feature of GA-ALG@Pt NPs that greatly relief the nephrotoxicity and systematic toxicity of cisplatin. This conveniently synthesized nanoparticle processes superior targeting capacity and biosecurity, supplying an effective approach to translational cancer therapy in the future.

Abstract
Glassy carbon electrodes covalently modified with a phenanthroimidazole mediator promote electrochemical alcohol and ether oxidation: three orders of magnitude increase in TON, to ∼15 000 in each case, was observed compared with homogeneous mediated reactions.
Glassy carbon electrodes covalently modified with a phenanthroimidazole mediator promote electrochemical alcohol and ether oxidation: three orders of magnitude increase in TON, to ∼15 000 in each case, was observed compared with homogeneous mediated reactions. We propose the deactivation pathways in homogeneous solution are prevented by the immobilization: modified electrode reversibility is increased for a one-electron oxidation reaction. The modified electrodes were used to catalytically oxidize p-anisyl alcohol and 1-((benzyloxy)methyl)-4-methoxybenzene, selectively, to the corresponding benzaldehyde and benzyl ester, respectively.

Abstract
Platinum(IV) complexes are generally thought to be kinetically inert, and are expected to be stable enough to resist premature aquation before entering the cancer cells. Nevertheless, in this work, complex 2 with axial acetato ligands can hydrolyze relatively quickly under biologically relevant conditions with a half-life of 91.7 min, resulting in the loss of the equatorial chlorido ligand. Further study indicated that the fast hydrolysis of complex 2 may be attributed to the strong σ-donor ability of N-isopropyl-1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane, and an increasing σ-donor ability of the amine group can promote the hydrolysis rate of the corresponding platinum(IV) complex. The experiment results were proven by the corresponding DFT calculation. Our study can help to re-evaluate the aqueous properties of the platinum(IV) complexes with axial acetate, which may be less inert to hydrolysis than expected under biologically relevant conditions.
