Abstract
Due to the extraordinary success of porphyrins in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and Ru compounds as chemotherapeutics, a series of RuII-porphyrin complexes have recently been synthesized and proposed as promising dual-action therapeutic agents. The results of a careful DFT and TDDFT investigation on four mononuclear pyridyl triphenylporphyrin RuII-arene complexes are herein reported and compared with those obtained for the metal-free derivatives. The investigation aims at shedding light on the modulation of the photophysical properties of the light absorber upon metalation and exploring the hydrolysis process of the RuII-moiety in the presence of the bulky porphyrin unit. Type I and Type II photoreactions were analyzed computing absorption spectra, singlet-triplet energy gaps, spin orbit coupling constants and vertical electron affinity (VEA) along with ionization potentials (VIP) for all the investigated compounds, while the chloride/water exchange reaction kinetics were determined by exploring the first and second aquation reactions of the Ru-moiety. Despite the highly similar photophysical properties displayed by the members of this class of compounds, an analysis of the hydrolysis processes in the dark allows to point out an interesting difference related to the type of pyridylporphyrin isomer and could be a preliminary explanation of the greater phototoxicity experimentally found for 3'-pyridyl substituted compounds.

Abstract
Piperlongumine (PL) is an anticancer compound whose activity is related to the inhibition of human glutathione transferase of pi class (GSTP1) overexpressed in cancerous tumors and implicated in the metabolism of electrophilic compounds. In the present work, the inhibition mechanism of hydrolyzed piperlongumine (hPL) has been investigated employing QM and QM/MM levels of theory. The potential energy surfaces (PESs) underline the contributions of Tyr residue close to G site in the catalytic pocket of the enzyme. The proposed mechanism occurs through a one-step process represented by the nucleophilic addition of the glutathione thiol to electrophilic species giving rise to the simultaneous C-S and H-C bonds formation. Both the used methods give barrier heights (19.8 and 21.5 kcal mol−1 at QM/MM and QM, respectively) close to that experimentally measured for the C-S bond formations (23.8 kcal mol−1).

Abstract
Platinum(ii)-based molecules are the most commonly used anticancer drugs in the chemotherapeutic treatment of tumours but possess serious side effects and some cancer types exhibit resistance with respect to these compounds (e.g. cisplatin). For these reasons, the research of new compounds that can bypass this limitation is in continuous development. Recently, mixed Pt(ii)-As(iii) systems have been synthesized and tested as potential anticancer agents. The mechanism of action of these kinds of drugs is unclear. Since in other platinum(ii) containing drugs, hydrolysis plays an important role in the activation of the compound before it reaches DNA, we have explored the aquation process using density functional theory (DFT), focusing our attention on the arsenoplatin complex, [Pt(μ-NHC(CH3)O)2ClAs(OH)2]. As DNA is believed to be the cellular target for Pt anticancer drugs, the metalation mechanism of DNA purine bases has been also investigated. Also for this new drug it appears that guanine is the preferred site with respect to adenine as with other platinum-containing compounds. A comparison with cisplatin is performed in order to highlight the contribution of arsenic in the anticancer activity of this new proposed anticancer agent.

Abstract
The combination of a photosensitizer (PS) with a cisplatin-like unit represents a challenging strategy to increase the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy and to afford a dual-action anticancer treatment. Recently, new tetra-PtII -porphyrin conjugates have been proposed as promising multitarget agents. To reveal the effect of the PtII center on the chemical and physical properties of the PS and to explore the effect of the PS on the activation mechanism of PtII ligand before reaching its biological target, we carried out a first-principle investigation on these tetra-PtII -porphyrin conjugates. To propose a further advance in this novel field and to gain useful insights for the design of new, more efficient PtII -PS conjugates, we introduced structural modifications into the porphyrin dye, which involved the synthesis of the tetra-PtII -chlorin and tetra-PtII -bacteriochlorin derivatives. Results showed that the designed dyes better met the criteria to be successful in a dual-action therapy, as they displayed improved optical properties and reduced the hydrolysis rate of the PtII moiety, the latter being a desirable feature to avoid many side reactions of the conjugate during their transport to the biological target.
