Abstract
Zn(ii)-based anticancer drugs can be suitable alternatives to conventional Pt(ii)-based drugs because of the unique chemical properties of Zn(ii) and low toxicity. In this study, a new hexadentate and heteroleptic Zn(ii) complex ([Zn(bpy)2(OAc)2], 1) was prepared with a conventional N,N-donor ligand (2,2'-bipyridine) and a leaving group (OAc) and characterized via ESI-MS, UV-Vis, and FT-IR spectroscopy. Kinetic and mechanistic investigations of 1 were performed using two biologically relevant ligands (dl-penicillamine and l-cysteine) to understand its selectivity and reactivity. Substitution reactions were determined to be two-step processes in the associative activation mode. Bioactivity studies of 1 revealed moderate to strong DNA-binding, cleaving ability, and antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
The search for new antineoplastic agents is imperative, as cancer remains one of the most preeminent causes of death worldwide. Since the discovery of the therapeutic potential of cisplatin, the study of metallodrugs in cancer chemotherapy acquired increasing interest. Starting from cisplatin derivatives, such as oxaliplatin and carboplatin, in the last years, different compounds were explored, employing different metal centers such as iron, ruthenium, gold, and palladium. Nonetheless, metallodrugs face several drawbacks, such as low water solubility, rapid clearance, and possible side toxicity. Encapsulation has emerged as a promising strategy to overcome these issues, providing both improved biocompatibility and protection of the payload from possible degradation in the biological environment. In this respect, liposomes, which are spherical vesicles characterized by an aqueous core surrounded by lipid bilayers, have proven to be ideal candidates due to their versatility. In fact, they can encapsulate both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, are biocompatible, and their properties can be tuned to improve the selective delivery to tumour sites exploiting both passive and active targeting. In this review, we report the most recent findings on liposomal formulations of metallodrugs, with a focus on encapsulation techniques and the obtained biological results.

Abstract
Aim: Zinc salicylaldimines may act as multidrug agents.Results: Three zinc salicylaldimines C1-C3 and respective ligands HL1-HL3 were examined for antimicrobial/anticancer drug action and C3 was structurally analyzed (tetrahedral, triclinic). Against two fungi, C1 inhibited Candida albicans with 12 mm (21 mm for amphotericin B). Among four bacteria, two ligands inhibited Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (9-10 mm), but the complexes inhibited all bacteria with 10-14 mm (21-26 mm for ampicillin). The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations for the ligands, complexes and doxorubicin were 195.5-310.7, 22.18-70.05 and 9.66 μM against cancerous MCF-7 cells and 186.4-199.9, 14.95-18.87 and 36.42 μM against normal BHK cells.Conclusion: The complexation produced pronounced enhancement in the ligand antimicrobial/anticancer activities, despite these activities are moderate comparing with standards.

Abstract
In this work, we report on the synthesis of a novel zinc(II) coordination compound [ZnL2] (1), which was readily obtained from the reaction of Zn(OAc)·2H2O and N'-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)nicotinohydrazide (HL) in methanol. Recrystallization of 1 from dimethylformamide under ambient conditions allowed to produce yellow block-like crystals of 1·H2O. Complex 1·H2O was characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, while its optical properties were studied by UV-vis and spectrofluorimetry in methanol. The crystal structure of the title complex was revealed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and further explored in detail by the Hirshfeld surface analysis. Theoretical investigations based on the DFT calculations have also been applied to show the electronic properties of complex 1. The antitumor activities of the parent ligand HL and complex 1 were studied using Dalton's lymphoma malignant cancer model. Both compounds were found to induce concentration-dependent cytotoxicity and apoptotic cell death, leading to a decrease in cell viability, body weight, and tumor volume in mice with the superior activity of complex 1 over HL. Mice treated with complex 1 demonstrated an increase in life span with a survival period of 23 days. Finally, using a molecular docking approach, we have probed complex 1 to inhibit the recombinant mouse tumor-necrosis factor alpha (mTNF).

Abstract
Structurally diverse zinc(II) complexes with tripodal tetradentate phenolic-amines of variable substituents in the phenol and amine moieties were synthesized and thoroughly characterized. The two dinuclear [Zn2(L1)2](ClO4)2·MeOH (1), [Zn2(L2)2](ClO4)2 (2), and four mononuclear [Zn(L3)(H2O)]·MeOH (3), [Zn(L4)] (4), [Zn(L5)] (5) and [Zn(L6)] (6) complexes revealed distorted octahedral, trigonal-bipyramidal or tetrahedral geometries. The free HL1 and H2L3-6 ligands, and complexes 1-6 were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines (A2780, A2780R, PC-3 and 22Rv1) and normal healthy MRC-5 cells. Overall results revealed high-to-moderate cytotoxicity (with the best IC50 values for complex 6 ranging from 2.4 to 4.5 μM), which is however, significantly higher than that of the reference drug cisplatin. The moderately active complexes 1-4 showed considerable selectivity on A2780 cells (IC50 ≈ 16.3-19.5 μM) over MRC-5 ones (with IC50 >50 μM for 1, 2 and 4, and with IC50 >25 μM for 3). The complexes 1, 2, and 6 and the ligand H2L6 were chosen for subsequent deeper biological evaluations. Their time-resolved cellular uptake and other cellular effects in A2780 cells were studied, such as cell cycle profile, intracellular ROS production, induction of apoptosis and activation of caspases 3/7. Complexes 1 and 2 caused significant G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in A2780 cells and antioxidant effects at normal conditions. They showed only limited effects on cellular processes connected with cytotoxicity, i.e. induction of apoptosis, depletion of mitochondrial membrane potential, and autophagy. These findings can be at least partly attributed to the low ability of the complexes to enter the A2780 cells and the depression of metabolic activity of the target cancer cells.

Abstract
Resistance and severe side effects of classical chemotherapeutic drugs are major challenges to cancer therapy. New therapeutic agents and combination therapy are considered potential solutions that enhance the efficacy of the drug as well as reduce drug resistance. The success of a platinum-based anticancer drug, cisplatin, has paved the way to explore metal-centered anticancer therapeutic agents. Herein, the zeolite-Y-encapsulated Zn(II)Salmphen complex is synthesized using a flexible ligand approach. The Zn(II)Salmphen complex and its encapsulation within the supercage of zeolite-Y were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-vis, fluorescence, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) techniques. Elemental analysis, PXRD, and SEM, all together confirm the integrity of the zeolite framework after the encapsulation of Zn(II)Salmphen complex in it, and elemental analysis provides the Si/Al ratio and Zn content present. FTIR and XPS studies indicate the successful encapsulation of the complex. NMR and HRMS studies confirm that the Zn(II)Salmphen complex is dimer; however, within the supercage of zeolite-Y, it is expected to exist as a monomer. The extent of structural modification of the encapsulated Zn(II)Salmphen complex is intimated by electronic spectroscopic studies. The free-state Zn(II)Salmphen is a fluorescent complex, and even the encapsulated Zn(II)Salmphen complex, when taken in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), shows fluorescence. In comparison to cisplatin, encapsulated Zn(II)Salmphen complex displays comparable cytotoxicity (IC50 = 2.0 ± 0.5 μg/mL at 48 h) toward breast cancer cell line, whereas free Zn(II)Salmphen has better cytotoxicity (IC50 = 1.5 ± 0.5 μg/mL at 48 h). Importantly, elemental analysis has revealed that the IC50 value, if calculated only in terms of Zn(II)Salmphen within Zn(II)Salmphen-Y, is as low as 54.59 ng/mL, indicating a very high efficacy of the drug. Interestingly, a 48 h treatment with the encapsulated Zn(II)Salmphen complex shows no toxicity toward immortal noncancerous keratinocyte cells (HaCaT), whereas cisplatin has an IC50 value of 1.75 ± 0.5 μg/mL. Internalization studies indicate that zeolite-Y targets cancer cells better than it does noncancerous ones. Hence, cellular uptake of the zeolite-encapsulated Zn(II)Salmphen complex in cancer cells is more than that in HaCaT cells, resulting in the generation of more reactive oxygen species and cell death. Significant upregulation of DNA damage response protein indicates that DNA-damage-induced cellular apoptosis could be the mechanism of drug action. Overall, the zeolite-encapsulated Zn(II)Salmphen complex could be a better alternative to the traditional drug cisplatin with minimal effect on noncancerous HaCaT cells and can also be utilized as a fluorescent probe in exploring the mechanistic pathway of its activity against cancer cells.

Abstract
To validate the effect of metal ions in analogous ligand scaffolds on DNA binding and cytotoxic response, we have synthesized a series of water-soluble ionic N-phthaloylglycinate conjugated bis(diaminocyclohexane)M2+ complexes where M = Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) (1-3). The structural characterization of the complexes (1-3) was achieved by spectroscopic {FT-IR, EPR, UV-vis absorption data, 1H NMR, ESI-MS and elemental analysis} and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, which revealed different topologies for the late 3d-transition metals. The Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes exhibited an octahedral geometry with coordinated labile water molecules in the P1̄ space group while the Cu(II) complex revealed a square planar geometry with the P21/c space lattice. In vitro DNA-complexation studies were performed employing various complementary biophysical methods to quantify the intrinsic binding constant Kb and Ksv values and to envisage the binding modes and binding affinity of (1-3) at the therapeutic targets. The corroborative results of these experiments revealed a substantial geometric and electronic effect of (1-3) on DNA binding and the following inferences were observed, (i) high Kb and Ksv values, (ii) remarkable cleavage efficiency via an oxidative pathway, (iii) condensation behavior and (iv) good cytotoxic response to HepG2 and PTEN-caP8 cancer cell lines, with copper(II) complex 2 outperforming the other two complexes as a most promising anticancer drug candidate. Copper(II) complexes have been proven in the literature to be good anticancer drug entities, displaying inhibition of uncontrolled-cell growth by multiple pathways viz., anti-angiogenesis, inducing apoptosis and reactive oxygen species mediated cell death phenomena. Nickel(II) and zinc(II) ionic complexes 1 and 3 have also demonstrated good chemotherapeutic potential in vitro and the bioactive 1,2-diaminocyclohexane fragment in these complexes plays an instrumental role in anticancer activity.

Abstract
AbstractA 3‐formyl‐chromone‐appended zinc(II) intercalator drug candidate of the formulation [bis(chromone)(H 2 O)2 Zn(II)] was prepared as a potent anticancer agent and thoroughly characterized by multi‐spectroscopic and single X‐ray crystallographic studies. Preliminary binding studies of complex 1 with ct‐DNA/tRNA were carried out employing various complementary biophysical techniques and the corroborative results of these experiments suggested strong binding propensity via intercalation binding mode towards ct‐DNA/tRNA therapeutic targets, with higher preference for tRNA as quantified by binding constant { K b , K and K sv } parameters. The cleavage studies with pBR322 DNA were performed which implied that 1 cleaved the DNA by hydrolytic cleavage pathway which was further validated by T4 religation assay. Moreover, 1 was found to exhibit the tRNA cleavage behavior in a concentration and time‐dependent manner. The cytotoxicity of complex 1 was evaluated against Huh‐7, DU‐145 and the PNT2 cell lines by MTT assay. A dose‐dependent growth inhibition of the Huh‐7 and DU‐145 cells at low micromolar concentrations was observed and in another set of experiments, lipid peroxidation & glutathione (GSH) depletion were induced in the presence of the tested drug candidate. Interestingly, drug candidate 1 demonstrated selective cytotoxic activity for the DU‐145 cancer cell line with LC50 value of 3.2 μM which was further visualized by confocal microscopy.

Abstract
Five-coordinate Cu(II) complexes, [Cu(Ln)X]ClO4/PF6, where Ln = piperazine ligands bearing two pyridyl arms and X = ClO4− for Ln = L1 (1-ClO4), L2 (2-ClO4), L3 (3-ClO4), and L6 (6-ClO4) as well as [Cu(Ln)Cl]PF6 for Ln = L1 (1-Cl), L4 (4-Cl), and L5 (5-Cl) have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The molecular structures of the last two complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography. In aqueous acetonitrile solutions, molar conductivity measurements and UV-VIS spectrophotometric titrations of the complexes revealed the hydrolysis of the complexes to [Cu(Ln)(H2O)]2+ species. The biological activity of the Cu(II) complexes with respect to DNA cleavage and cytotoxicity was investigated. At micromolar concentration within 2 h and pH 7.4, DNA cleavage rate decreased in the order: 1-Cl ≈ 1-ClO4 > 3-ClO4 ≥ 2-ClO4 with cleavage enhancements of up to 23 million. Complexes 4-Cl, 5-Cl, and 6-ClO4 were inactive. In order to elucidate the cleavage mechanism, the cleavage of bis(4-nitrophenyl)phosphate (BNPP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) quenching studies were conducted. The mechanistic pathway of DNA cleavage depends on the ligand’s skeleton: while an oxidative pathway was preferable for 1-Cl/1-ClO4, DNA cleavage by 2-ClO4 and 3-ClO4 predominantly proceeds via a hydrolytic mechanism. Complexes 1-ClO4, 3-ClO4, and 5-Cl were found to be cytotoxic against A2780 cells (IC50 30–40 µM). In fibroblasts, the IC50 value was much higher for 3-ClO4 with no toxic effect.

Abstract
The search for anticancer metal-based drugs alternative to platinum derivatives could not exclude zinc derivatives due to the importance of this metal for the correct functioning of the human body. Zinc, the second most abundant trace element in the human body, is one of the most important micro-elements essential for human physiology. Its ubiquity in thousands of proteins and enzymes is related to its chemical features, in particular its lack of redox activity and its ability to support different coordination geometries and to promote fast ligands exchange. Analogously to other trace elements, the impairment of its homeostasis can lead to various diseases and in some cases can be also related to cancer development. However, in addition to its physiological role, zinc can have beneficial therapeutic and preventive effects on infectious diseases and, compared to other metal-based drugs, Zn(II) complexes generally exert lower toxicity and offer few side effects. Zinc derivatives have been proposed as antitumor agents and, among the great number of zinc coordination complexes which have been described so far, this review focuses on the design, synthesis and biological studies of zinc complexes comprising N-donor ligands and that have been reported within the last five years.

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.

Abstract
Heterobimetallic complexes [Cu(L)Sn(CH3)2(H2O)(Cl)] (3) and [Zn(L)Sn(CH3)2(H2O)(Cl)] (4) have been synthesized from their monometallic analogs [Cu(L)(H2O)(Cl)] (1) and [Zn(L)(H2O)(Cl)] (2) of Schiff base ligand (L) which were characterized by various spectroscopic and analytical methods. DFT calculations were carried out to simulate the vibrational spectra to support the anticipated structures. The interaction studies of ligand (L) and complexes (1-4) with CT-DNA were performed by employing UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques which revealed that heterobimetallic complexes 3 and 4 showed higher affinity with DNA due to dual mode of action as compared to monometallic complexes 1 and 2. Further, validation of the interaction studies was accomplished by carrying out molecular docking studies with DNA. Gel assay displayed that both the complexes have ability to cleave DNA efficiently and are specific minor groove binders. CuII-SnIV complex 3 cleaved pBR322 DNA via oxidative mechanism, while ZnII-SnIV complex 4 followed hydrolytic cleavage pathway. In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of complex 3 was tested on a different cancer cell lines showing promising antitumor activity.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Six novel copper(ii) complexes of [CuCl]ClO4 (), [Cu(acac)]PF6 (), [CuCl]2(PF6)2 (), [CuCl]2(PF6)2 (), [Cu(acac)]PF6 () and [Cu(acac)]PF6 (), ( = 1-naphthyl-N,N-[bis(2-pyridyl)methyl]amine, = R/S-1-naphthyl-N,N-[bis(2-pyridyl)methyl]ethanamine, acac = diacetone) were synthesized to serve as artificial nucleases. All complexes were structurally characterized using X-ray crystallography. The crystal structures showed the presence of distorted square-planar CuLCl (, and ) and distorted tetragonal-pyramidal CuL(acac) (, and ) geometry. The interaction of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was researched by means of several spectroscopy methods, which indicated that the complexes were bound to CT-DNA by an intercalation binding mode. DNA cleavage experiments revealed that the complexes exhibited remarkable DNA cleavage activities in the presence of H2O2, and single oxygen ((1)O2) or hydroxyl radicals may serve as the major cleavage active species. In particular, the in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes on four human cancer cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, Bel-7404 and HepG-2) demonstrated that the six compounds had broad-spectrum anti-cancer activity with low IC50 values. The stronger cytotoxicity and DNA cleavage activity of the chiral enantiomers compared with chiral analogues verified the influence of chirality on the antitumor activity of complexes. Meanwhile, the protein binding ability was revealed by quenching of tryptophan emission with the addition of complexes using BSA as a model protein. The results indicated that the quenching mechanism of BSA by the complexes was a static process.

Abstract
Four new cobalt(ii) complexes [Co(6-MeTPA)Cl]ClO4/PF6 (2/2a), [Co(6-Me2TPA)Cl]ClO4/PF6 (3/3a), [Co(BPQA)Cl]ClO4/PF6 (4/4a) and [Co(BQPA)Cl]ClO4/PF6 (5/5a) as well as [Co(TPA)Cl]ClO4 (1) where TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, 6-MeTPA = ((6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, 6-Me2TPA = bis(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, BPQA = bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-(2-quinolylmethyl)-amine and BQPA = bis(2-quinolylmethyl)-(2-pyridylmethyl)amine were synthesized and structurally characterized. Single crystal X-ray crystallography confirmed the distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries of complexes 2a-5a. Spectrophotometric titrations and conductivity measurements of the complexes in the CH3CN-H2O mixture showed that the chloro complexes exist in equilibrium with the corresponding hydrolyzed aqua species, [Co(L)(H2O)](2+). The pKa values of the coordinated H2O in aqua complexes vary from 8.4 to 8.7 (37 °C). The interactions of the complexes (1-5) with DNA have been investigated at pH = 7.0 and 9.0 (10 mM Tris-HCl buffer) and 37 °C where very high catalytic cleavage was observed. Under pseudo Michaelis-Menten kinetic conditions, the catalytic rate constants, kcat, decrease in the order 4>2>5>1>3. At pH 7.0 (10 mM Tris-HCl buffer) and 37 °C, the kcat value for complex 4 (6.02 h(-1)), where [Co(BPQA)(H2O)](2+) is the major species, corresponds to 170 million rate enhancement over the non-catalyzed DNA. Electrophoretic experiments conducted in the presence and absence of radical scavengers (DMSO, KI, NaN3) ruled out the oxidative mechanistic pathway of the reaction and suggested that the hydrolytic mechanism is the preferred one. This finding was in agreement with the observed increase in the kcat values at pH 9.0 compared to the corresponding values at pH 7.0 as a result of the increased concentration of the reactive hydroxo species, [Co(L)(OH)](+). The reactivity of the synthesized complexes in catalyzing the DNA cleavage is discussed in relation to the steric effect imposed by the coordinated pyridyl ligand around the central cobalt(ii) center.

The reaction of [Pd(CH3CN)2Cl2] with N′-substituted N,N-di(2-picolyl)amine-based ancillary ligands, for example N,N-di(2-picolyl)cyclohexylmethylamine (L1), N,N-di(2-picolyl)benzylamine (L2), N,N-di(2-picolyl)aniline (L3), and 1,4-bis[bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]benzene (L4), in the presence of NaClO4 in ethanol yields a new series of [(NN′N)PdCl]X (X = ClO4, Cl) complexes, i.e. mononuclear [LnPdCl]ClO4 (Ln = L1, L2, L3) and binuclear [L4Pd2Cl2]Cl2. X-Ray crystallographic analysis determined that the Pd atom in complexes [(NN′N)PdCl]X showed a slightly distorted square-planar geometry involving three nitrogen atoms and a chlorido ligand. Moreover, the unit cell included a ClO4– or Cl– anion as the counterion. The complex [L1PdCl]ClO4 showed the highest catalytic activity for the polymerisation of methyl methacrylate in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane at 60°C among the mononuclear PdII complexes. Specifically, the activity of binuclear [L4Pd2Cl2]Cl2 was 2-fold higher than the corresponding mononuclear [L2PdCl]ClO4 per active palladium metal centre.

Abstract
The development of synthetic agents able to hydrolytically cleave DNA with high efficiency and selectivity is still a fascinating challenge. Over the years, many examples have been reported reproducing part of the behaviour of the corresponding natural enzymes. Eventually, even the possibility to apply such systems to the manipulation of DNA of higher organisms has been demonstrated. However, efficiency of enzymes is still unrivalled. This feature article discusses the progress reported toward the realization of synthetic nucleases with particular attention to the comprehension of the reaction mechanisms and to the strategies that need to be addressed to obtain more efficient systems.
