Abstract
In the present study, one mononuclear Cu(II) [CuL(SCN)] (1) and one mononuclear Co(II) [CoLN3] (2) complexes, with a Schiff base ligand (HL) formed by condensation of 2-picolylamine and salicylaldehyde, have been successfully developed and structurally characterized. The square planer geometry of both complexes is fulfilled by the coordination of one deprotonated ligand and one ancillary ligand SCN-(1) or N3-(2) to the metal centre. Binding affinities of both complexes with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) are investigated using several biophysical and spectroscopic techniques. High values of the macromolecule-complex binding constants and other results confirm the effectiveness of both complexes towards binding with DNA and HSA. The determined values of the thermodynamic parameters support spontaneous interactions of both complexes with HSA, while fluorescence displacement and DNA melting studies establish groove-binding interactions with DNA for both complexes 1 and 2. The molecular modelling study validates the experimental findings. Both complexes are subjected to an MTT test establishing the anticancer property of complex 1 with lower risk to normal cells, confirmed by the IC50 values of the complex for HeLa cancer cells and HEK normal cells. Finally, a nuclear staining analysis reveals that the complexes have caused apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
Dicobalt hexacarbonyl 5-alkynyl furopyrimidine nucleoside analogs, with 4-methylphenyl (p-tolyl) and 4-pentylphenyl substituents attached at the C-6 base position, designed in the form of ribose acetyl esters, were synthesized (42-96%). Attached at the C-5 position were propargyl alcohol, its methyl ether and acetate derivatives, butynol, and the 4-methylphenyl- (p-tolyl) and 4-pentylphenyl-substituted alkynyl groups, which were coordinated to a dicobalt hexacarbonyl unit. The structure of 5-(3-acetoxyprop-1-yn-1-yl)-6-p-tolyl-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one was determined by X-ray crystallography. Density functional theory calculations performed on the corresponding derivative yielded geometric parameters for the dicobalt hexacarbonyl adduct of this ligand. The cytotoxic activity of each of dicobalt modified nucleosides on cancer cells of different phenotypes was determined in vitro. The investigated compounds showed antiproliferative effects with median inhibitory concentration (IC50) values in the ranges of 14-90 and 9-50 μM for HeLa and K562 cells, respectively. The formation of reactive oxygen species in the presence of modified nucleosides was determined in K562 cells. The results indicate that the mechanism of action for the studied compounds may be related to the induction of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Derivatives of the cytotoxic cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor [(prop-2-ynyl)-2-acetoxybenzoate]dicobalthexacarbonyl (Co-ASS) with a methyl group in the 3, 4, 5, or 6 position of the acetylsalicylic acid (ASS) scaffold were synthesized with the aim to achieve enhanced selectivity for COX-2. From this modification, a higher specificity for COX-2-expressing tumors is expected, preventing COX-1-mediated side effects. The cobalt-alkyne complexes were tested for their COX-inhibitory and antiproliferative properties as well as their cellular uptake. Methylation reduced the effects at the isolated COX-1, whereas those at the isolated COX-2 remained nearly constant compared to Co-ASS. In cellular systems, the new compounds showed superior cytotoxicity toward the COX-positive HT-29 colon carcinoma cells than cisplatin. The reduced growth-inhibitory potency in T-24 cells, which express distinctly fewer COX enzymes (COX-1/COX-2 = 50/1) than HT-29 cells (COX-1/COX-2 = 50/50), and the only marginal activity in COX-negative MCF-7 breast cancer cells point to an interference in the arachidonic acid cascade through COX-2 inhibition as part of the mode of action, especially as the cellular uptake was even higher in MCF-7 cells than in T-24 cells. These findings clearly demonstrate that the methylated cobalt-alkyne complexes possess promising potential for further development as reasonable alternatives to the limited platinum-based antitumor agents.

Abstract
In this study, two series of novel carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) containing Co were designed and synthesized. The synthesized complexes were characterized by IR, ESI-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies. The antitumor activity of all complexes on HepG2 cells, Hela cells and MDA-MB-231 cells were assayed by MTT. IC50 values of complexes 1-13 were 4.7-548.6 µM. Among these complexes, complex 1 was presented with a high selectivity to HepG2 cells (IC50 = 4.7 ± 0.76 μM). Compared with iCORM (inactive CORM), CORM (complex 1) showed a remarkable activity against tumor cells owing to co-effect of CO and the ligand of COX-2 inhibitor. In addition, complex 1 increased ROS in mitochondria and caused a decrease of dose-dependent mitochondrial membrane potential against HepG2 cells. Complex 1 down-regulated the expression of COX-2 protein in western blot analysis. The molecular docking study suggested that the complex 1 formed a hydrogen bond with amino acid R120 in the active site of the Human cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Therefore, the complex 1 could induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells through targeting COX-2 and mitochondria pathways, and it maybe a potential therapeutic agent for cancer.

Abstract
A novel methodology to access alkynyl nucleoside analogues is elaborated. Highly fluorescent 5-alkynylfuropyrimidines were synthesized (97-46%) and their antiviral properties investigated in vitro. Regiochemistry of the functionalization was achieved with the aid of 5-endo-dig electrophilic halocyclization of acetyl 5-p-tolyl- or 5-p-pentylphenyl-2'-deoxyuridine. Structure of one of the resulting nucleosides, 6-p-tolyl-5-iodo-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-one, was confirmed by X-ray crystallography, and its conformation was compared to related nucleosides. Diverse alkynyl substituents were introduced at the heterobicyclic base C-5 position via Sonogashira coupling of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl-furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-ones. The resulting compounds had fluorescence emissions of 452-481 nm. High quantum yields of 0.53-0.60 were observed for 9-ethynyl-9-fluorenol and propargyl alcohol/methyl ether-modified furopyrimidines. These modified nucleosides, designed in the form of ribose acetyl esters, are potential tools for fluorescent tagging, studying nucleoside metabolism, 2'-deoxyribonucleoside kinase activity, and antiviral activity. Antiviral assays against a broad spectrum of DNA and RNA viruses showed that in human embryonic lung (HEL) cell cultures some of the compounds posess antiviral activity (EC50 1.3-13.2 μM) against varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The alkynyl furopyrimidine with two p-pentylphenyl substituents emerged as the best compound with reasonable and selective anti-VZV activity, confirming p-pentylphenyl potency as a pharmacophore.

Abstract
Based on our previous research, a series of targeting hepatocellular carcinoma complexes, [R-Glycyrrhetinic acid-CH2C2H-[Co2(CO)6] (R = H, 1; R = NSAIDs-COOH, 2-4; R = Aromatic acid, 5-7; R = Amino acid, 8-10), were synthesized. The test showed they are slow CO releasers. Using HeLa, A549, HT-29, SMMC7721 and HepG2 cells as models, their activities against tumor cell proliferation were firstly evaluated. The resulting data show all the complexes displayed a good anti-proliferation activity against the HepG2 and SMMC-7721 liver cancer cells, and their IC50 values were in the range of 10.07-66.06 µM; compared with cis-platin (DDP), their activities were comparable or even better under the same condition. Among them, complexes 3, 4, 6 and 9 exhibited higher anti-proliferation activities against HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cell lines than the other cell lines. To confirm further these complexes have selectivity to the liver cells, the uptakes of complexes 3, 4, 6 and 9 by HepG2, HT-29, A549 and SMMC7721 cell lines were studied. The results show the cell uptake rates of the complexes by HepG2 cells and SMMC7721 cells were much greater than by other cells under the same condition. In following tests, the tested complexes displayed higher activities in inhibiting NF-kB, COX-2 and iNOS; and they induced HepG2 cells apoptosis by mitochondrial pathway, which assessed by staining with different fluorescent reagent DAPI, PI, Mito-Tracker Green and DCFH-DA. Meanwhile, the tested complexes up-regulated the expression levels of caspase-3 and Bax, down-regulated the Bcl-2 expression. In addition, they had no effect on zebrafish embryo survival, embryo hatching, embryonic movement, zebrafish malformation and zebrafish movement at below 0.5 µM. This suggests the complexes are potential candidates to be used in clinic for liver cancers.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas endogenously produced in humans, reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects at low concentration. In this context, CO releasing molecules (CORMs) are attracting enormous interest. Herein, we report a series of small-molecule hybrids consisting of a carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitor linked to a CORM tail section (CAI-CORMs). All compounds were screened in vitro for their inhibition activity against the human (h) CA I, II, IV, IX, and XII isoforms. On selected CAI-CORM hybrids, the CO releasing properties were evaluated, along with their pain-relieving effect, in a model of rheumatoid arthritis. One CAI-CORM hybrid (5b) induced a higher pain-relieving effect compared to the one exerted by the single administration of CAI (5a) and CORM (15b) fragments, shedding light on the possibility to enhance the pain relief effect of CA inhibitors inserting a CO releasing moiety on the same molecular scaffold.

Reactions of dicobalt octacarbonyl [Co2(CO)8] with 2'-deoxy-5-oxopropynyluridines and related compounds gave dicobalt hexacarbonyl nucleoside complexes (83-31 %). The synthetic outcomes were confirmed by X-ray structure determination of dicobalt hexacarbonyl 2'-deoxy-5-(4-hydroxybut-1-yn-1-yl)uridine, which exhibits intermolecular hydrogen bonding between a modified base and ribose. The electronic structure of this compound was characterized by the DFT calculations. The growth inhibition of HeLa and K562 cancer cell lines by organometallic nucleosides was examined and compared to that by alkynyl nucleoside precursors. Coordination of the dicobalt carbonyl moiety to the 2'-deoxy-5-alkynyluridines led to a significant increase in the cytotoxic potency. The cobalt compounds displayed antiproliferative activities with median inhibitory values (IC50) in the range of 20 to 80 μm for the HeLa cell line and 18 to 30 μm for the K562 cell line. Coordination of an acetyl-substituted cobalt nucleoside was expanded by using the 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) ligand, which exhibited cytotoxicity at comparable levels. The formation of reactive oxygen species in the presence of cobalt compounds was determined in K562 cells. The results indicate that the mechanism of action for most antiproliferative cobalt compounds may be related to the induction of oxidative stress.

Abstract
The evolution of resistance to traditional platinum-based anticancer drugs has compelled researchers to investigate the cytostatic properties of alternative transition metal-based compounds. The anticancer potential of cobalt complexes has been extensively studied over the last three decades, and much time has been devoted to understanding their mechanisms of action. This perspective catalogues the development of antiproliferative cobalt complexes, and provides an in depth analysis of their mode of action. Early studies on simple cobalt coordination complexes, Schiff base complexes, and cobalt-carbonyl clusters will be documented. The physiologically relevant redox properties of cobalt will be highlighted and the role this plays in the preparation of hypoxia selective prodrugs and imaging agents will be discussed. The use of cobalt-containing cobalamin as a cancer specific delivery agent for cytotoxins will also be described. The work summarised in this perspective shows that the biochemical and biophysical properties of cobalt-containing compounds can be fine-tuned to produce new generations of anticancer agents with clinically relevant efficacies.

Abstract
Sonogashira coupling of diacetyl 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine with diacetyl 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine gave the acylated ethynediyl-linked 2'-deoxyuridine dimer (3 b; 63%), which was deprotected with ammonia/methanol to give ethynediyl-linked 2'-deoxyuridines (3 a; 79%). Treatment of 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (1 a) with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine gave the furopyrimidine linked to 2'-deoxyuridine (78%). Catalytic oxidative coupling of 1 a (O(2), CuI, Pd/C, N,N-dimethylformamide) gave butadiynediyl-linked 2'-deoxyuridines (4; 84 %). Double Sonogashira coupling of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine with 1,4-diethynylbenzene gave 1,4-phenylenediethynediyl-bridged 2'-deoxyuridines (5; 83%). Cu-catalyzed cycloisomerization of dimers 4 and 5 gave their furopyrimidine derivatives. One-electron addition to 1 a, 3 a, and 4 gave the anion radical, the EPR spectra of which showed that the unpaired electron is largely localized at C6 of one uracil ring (17 G doublet) at 77 K. The EPR spectra of the one-electron-oxidized derivatives of ethynediyl- and butadiynediyl-linked uridines 3 a and 4 at 77 K showed that the unpaired electron is delocalized over both rings. Therefore, structures 3 a and 4 provide an efficient electronic link for hole conduction between the uracil rings. However, for the excess electron, an activation barrier prevents coupling to both rings. These dimeric structures could provide a gate that would separate hole transfer from electron transport between strands in DNA systems. In the crystal structure of acylated dimer 3 b, the bases were found in the anti position relative to each other across the ethynyl link, and similar anti conformation was preserved in the derived furopyrimidine-deoxyuridine dinucleoside.

Abstract
The reaction of Co(2)(CO)(8) with alkyne-containing amino acids [1a: phenylalanine (Phe) and 1b: methionine (Met)], two suitably alkyne-functionalized derivatives of the neuropeptide enkephalin (Enk) [3: Ac-Enk-Prop and 5: Ac-Enk(Pgl)-NH(2) (Ac--Acetyl; Pgl--propargylglycine; Prop--propargylamine)], a thymine Peptide Nucleic Acid (T-PNA) monomer (7), and a PNA-like monomer (9) derivative gave the respective dicobalthexacarbonyl bioconjugates in very good yields. Two different sites for labeling of the biomolecules were successfully used: The organometallic moiety was reacted with the C-terminus of alkyne-containing amino acids, peptide or PNA thymine monomers, and alternatively the organometallic compound was complexed to an internal site in the peptide or PNA. To this end, a simple glycine was replaced by propargylglycine in peptides, and a new alkyne-containing PNA-like monomer, in which an alkyne chain replaces the nucleobase, was used for PNA chemistry. For the synthesis of the two alkyne-containing enkephalin derivatives 3 and 5, two different resins, namely sulfamylbutyryl and Rink amid, were used as they allow to selectively insert, on the solid phase, an alkyne moiety at the C-terminus and on a side-chain of a peptide sequence, respectively. The identity and constitution of all cobalt complexes were confirmed by different analytical methods (IR, FAB, ESI-MS, and NMR). Most notably, IR spectroscopy shows intensive bands in the 2100-2000 cm(-1) region because of the Co(2)(CO)(6) moiety. In both (1)H NMR spectra of the dicobalthexacarbonyl PNA monomer derivatives 8 and 10, all signals are doubled because of the cis-trans isomerism about the central amide bond. The X-ray structure of a dicobalthexacarbonyl phenylalanine derivative (2a) confirms the proposed composition of the bioconjugates and shows that, as anticipated, the alkyne group of 2a is no longer linear upon complexation in comparison to the alkyne group of the bioconjugate precursor 1a, as indicated by a C-C[triple bond]C angle of about 143 degrees in 2a. Moreover, the C[triple bond]C bond of 1a was elongated by about 0.15 A upon Co(2) coordination.

Abstract
The novel luminescent gold(I) complex [N-(N',N'-dimethylaminoethyl)-1,8-naphthalimide-4-sulfide](triethylphosphine)gold(I) was prepared and investigated for its primary biological properties. Cell culture experiments revealed strong antiproliferative effects and induction of apoptosis via mitochondrial pathways. Biodistribution studies by fluorescence microscopy and atomic absorption spectroscopy showed the uptake into cell organelles, an accumulation in the nuclei of tumor cells, and a homogeneous distribution in zebrafish embryos. In vivo monitoring of vascularisation in developing zebrafish embryos revealed a significant anti-angiogenic potency of the complex. Mechanistic experiments indicated that the inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (based on the covalent binding of a gold triethylphosphine fragment) might be involved in the pharmacodynamic behavior of this novel gold species.
