GENETIC TOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS 2023; 886:503581. [PMID: 36868695 DOI: 10.1016/j.mrgentox.2022.503581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Complexes of coinage metals can potentially be used as alternatives to platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs. Silver is a coinage metal that can potentially improve the spectrum of efficacy in various cancers treatment, such as malignant melanoma. Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer that is often diagnosed in young and middle-aged adults. Silver has high reactivity with skin proteins and can be developed as a malignant melanoma treatment modality. Therefore, this study aims to identify the anti-proliferative and genotoxic effects of silver(I) complexes with mixed-ligands of thiosemicarbazones and diphenyl(p-tolyl)phosphine ligands in the human melanoma SK-MEL-28 cell line. The anti-proliferative effects of a series of silver(I) complex compounds labelled as OHBT, DOHBT, BrOHBT, OHMBT, and BrOHMBT were evaluated on SK-MEL-28 cells by using the Sulforhodamine B assay. Then, DNA damage analysis was performed in a time-dependent manner (30 min, 1 h and 4 h) by using alkaline comet assay to investigate the genotoxicity of OHBT and BrOHMBT at their respective IC50 values. The mode of cell death was studied using Annexin V-FITC/PI flow cytometry assay. Our current findings demonstrated that all silver(I) complex compounds showed good anti-proliferative activity. The IC50 values of OHBT, DOHBT, BrOHBT, OHMBT, and BrOHMBT were 2.38 ± 0.3 μM, 2.70 ± 0.17 μM, 1.34 ± 0.22 μM, 2.82 ± 0.45 μM, and 0.64 ± 0.04 μM respectively. Then, DNA damage analysis showed that OHBT and BrOHMBT could induce DNA strand breaks in a time-dependent manner, with OHBT being more prominent than BrOHMBT. This effect was accompanied by apoptosis induction in SK-MEL-28, as evaluated using Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. In conclusion, silver(I) complexes with mixed-ligands of thiosemicarbazones and diphenyl(p-tolyl)phosphine exerted anti-proliferative activities by inhibiting cancer cell growth, inducing significant DNA damage and ultimately resulting in apoptosis.

Abstract
In this communication, we feature the synthesis and in-depth characterization of a series of silver(I) complexes obtained from the complexation of quinolin-4-yl Schiff base ligands ((E)-2-((quinolin-4-ylmethylene)amino)phenol La, 2-(quinolin-4-yl)benzo[d]thiazole Lb, (E)-N-(2-fluorophenyl)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)methanimine Lc, (E)-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)methanimine Ld, (E)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)-N-(p-tolyl)methanimine Le, (E)-1-(quinolin-4-yl)-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)methanimine Lf) and three different silver(I) anions (nitrate, perchlorate and triflate). Structurally, the complexes adopted different coordination geometries, which included distorted linear or distorted tetrahedral geometry. The complexes were evaluated in vitro for their potential antibacterial and antioxidant activities. In addition, their interactions with calf thymus-DNA (CT-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were evaluated. All the complexes had a wide spectrum of effective antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial and good antioxidant properties. The interactions of the complexes with CT-DNA and BSA were observed to occur either through intercalation or through a minor groove binder, while the interaction of the complexes with BSA reveals that some of the complexes can strongly quench the fluorescence of BSA through the static mechanism. The molecular docking studies of the complexes were also done to further elucidate the modes of interaction with CT-DNA and BSA.

Abstract
This article provides an overview of the various research approaches we have explored in recent years to improve metal-based agents for cancer or infection treatments. Although cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin remain the cornerstones in tumor chemotherapy, the discovery and approval of novel inorganic anticancer drugs is a very slow process. Analogously, although a few promising inorganic drugs have found clinical application against parasitic or bacterial infections, their use remains relatively limited. Moreover, the discovery process is often affected by small therapeutic enhancements that are not attractive for the pharmaceutical industry. However, the availability of increasing mechanistic information for the modes of action of established inorganic drugs is fueling the exploration of various approaches for developing effective inorganic chemotherapy agents. Through a series of examples, some from our own research experience, we focus our attention on a number of promising strategies, including (1) drug repurposing, (2) the simple modification of the chemical structures of approved metal-based drugs, (3) testing novel drug combinations, and (4) newly synthesized complexes coupling different anticancer drugs. Accordingly, we aim to suggest and summarize a series of reliable approaches that are exploitable for the development of improved and innovative treatments.
