Abstract
Growing challenges with antibiotic resistance pose immense challenges in combating microbial infections and biofilm prevention on medical devices. Lately, antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is now emerging as an alternative therapy to overcome this problem. Herein, we synthesized and characterized four Ru(II)-complexes, viz., [Ru(ph-tpy)(bpy)Cl]PF6 (Ru1), [Ru(ph-tpy)(dpq)Cl]PF6 (Ru2), [Ru(ph-tpy)(dppz)Cl]PF6 (Ru3), and [Ru(ph-tpy)(dppn)Cl]PF6 (Ru4) (where 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine = ph-tpy; 2,2'-bipyridine = bpy; dipyrido[3,2-f:2',3'-h]quinoxaline = dpq; dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine = dppz; and Benzo[I]dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine = dppn), among which Ru2-Ru4 are novel. Octahedral geometry of the complexes with a RuN5Cl core was evident from the crystal structure of Ru2. Ru1-Ru4 showed an MLCT absorption band in the 450-600 nm region, useful for aPDT performances. Further, optimum triplet excited state energy and excellent photostability of Ru1-Ru4 made them good photosensitizers for aPDT. Ru1-Ru4 demonstrated enhanced antimicrobial activity on visible-light exposure (400-700 nm, 10 J cm-2), confirmed using different antibacterial assays. Mechanistic studies revealed that inhibition of bacterial growth was due to the generation of oxidative stress (via NADH oxidation and ROS generation) upon treatment with Ru2-Ru4, resulting in destruction of the bacterial wall. Ru2 performed best killing performance against both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis) bacteria when exposed to light. Ru2-Ru4, when coated on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) disk, showed long-term reusability and durable antibiofilm properties. Molecular docking confirmed the efficient interaction of Ru2-Ru4 with FabH (regulates fatty acid biosynthesis of E. coli) and PgaB (gives structural stability and helps biofilm formation of E. coli), resulting in probable downregulation. In vivo studies with healthy Wistar rats confirmed the biocompatibility of Ru2. This study shows that these lead complexes (Ru2-Ru4) can be used as potent alternative antimicrobial agents in low concentrations toward bacterial eradication with photodynamic therapy (PDT).

Abstract
Ruthenium polypyridyl complexes have received widespread attention as potential chemotherapeutics in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and in photochemotherapy (PACT). Here, we investigate a series of sixteen ruthenium polypyridyl complexes with general formula [Ru(tpy)(N-N)(L)]+/2+ (tpy=2,2':6',2''-terpyridine, N-N=bpy (2,2'-bipyridine), phen (1,10-phenanthroline), dpq (pyrazino[2,3-f][1,10]phenanthroline), dppz (dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine, dppn (benzo[i]dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine), pmip (2-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline), pymi ((E)-N-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine), or azpy (2-(phenylazo)pyridine), L=Cl- or 2-(2-(2-(methylthio)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl-β-d-glucopyranoside) and their potential for either PDT or PACT. We demonstrate that although increased lipophilicity is generally related to increased uptake of these complexes, it does not necessarily lead to increased (photo)cytotoxicity. However, the non-toxic complexes are excellent candidates as PACT carriers.

Abstract
While isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is widely used and sometimes referred to as the "gold standard" for quantitative measurements of biomolecular interactions, its usage has so far been limited to the analysis of the binding to isolated, non-cooperative binding sites. Studies on more complicated systems, where the binding sites interact, causing either cooperativity or anti-cooperativity between neighboring bound ligands, are rare, probably due to the complexity of the methods currently available. Here we have developed a simple algorithm not limited by the complexity of a binding system, meaning that it can be implemented by anyone, from analyzing systems of simple, isolated binding sites to complicated interactive multiple-site systems. We demonstrate here that even complicated competitive binding calorimetric isotherms can be properly analyzed, provided that ligand-ligand interactions are taken into account. As a practical example, the competitive binding interactions between the two enantiomers of Ru(bpy)2dppz2+ (Ru-bpy) and poly(dAdT)2 (AT-DNA) are analyzed using our new algorithm, which provided an excellent global fit for the ITC experimental data.
