Abstract
Most diseases that affect human beings across the world are now treated with drugs of organic origin. However, some of these are associated with side effects, toxicity, and resistance phenomena. For the treatment of many illnesses, the development of new molecules with pharmacological potential is now an urgent matter. The biological activities of metal complexes have been reported to have antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-infective and antiparasitic effects, amongst others. Metal complexes are effective because they possess unique properties. For example, the complex entity possesses the effective biological activity, then the formation of coordination bonds between the metal ions and ligands is controlled, metal ions provide it with extraordinary mechanisms of action because of characteristics such as d-orbitals, oxidation states, and specific orientations; metal complexes also exhibit good stability and good physicochemical properties such as water solubility. Platinum is a transition metal widely used in the design of drugs with antineoplastic activities; however, platinum is associated with side effects which have made it necessary to search for, and design, novel complexes based on other metals. Copper is a biometal which is found in living systems; it is now used in the design of metal complexes with biological activities that have demonstrated antitumoral, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, amongst others. In this review, we consider the open horizons of Cu(II)- and Pt(II)-based complexes, new trends in their design, their synthesis, their biological activities and their targets of action.

Abstract
Antioxidants are naturally available and man-made substances have the ability to protect cells from damage due to a number of intracellular redox activities. Moreover, Antioxidants such as α-lipoic acid, curcumin and catechin are good anticancer agents. In recent years, the usage of metal complexes as therapeutic agents is gaining importance due to their useful biological properties. Most of the metal ions act as the essential components in building drug molecules that serve as medicines for cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, metals like copper, gold, ruthenium, and platinum have adequate anticancer properties at both micro- and nano-levels. Hence, conjugation of antioxidants with metals and metal-based compounds results in hybrid bioactive materials with improved anticancer properties. In this chapter, medicinal applications of antioxidant conjugated metal complexes are reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
Indolo[3,2-d][1]benzazepines (paullones), indolo[3,2-d][2]benzazepines, and indolo[2,3-d][2]benzazepines (latonduines) are isomeric scaffolds of current medicinal interest. Herein, we prepared a small library of novel indolo[3,2-d][2]benzazepine-derived ligands HL1-HL4 and copper(II) complexes 1-4. All compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods (1H and 13C NMR, UV-vis, IR) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry, while complexes 2 and 3, in addition, by X-ray crystallography. Their purity was confirmed by HPLC coupled with high-resolution ESI mass spectrometry and/or elemental analysis. The stability of compounds in aqueous solutions in the presence of DMSO was confirmed by 1H NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy measurements. The compounds revealed high antiproliferative activity in vitro in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and hepatocellular carcinoma cell line LM3 in the low micromolar to nanomolar concentration range. Important structure-activity relationships were deduced from the comparison of anticancer activities of HL1-HL4 and 1-4 with those of structurally similar paullone-derived (HL5-HL7 and 5-7) and latonduine-derived scaffolds (HL8-HL11 and 8-11). The high anticancer activity of the lead drug candidate 4 was linked to reactive oxygen species and endoplasmic reticulum stress induction, which were confirmed by fluorescent microscopy and Western blot analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic intervention that can be applied to the treatment of cancer. The interaction between a photosensitizer (PS), ideal wavelength radiation and tissue molecular oxygen, triggers a series of photochemical reactions that are responsible for the production of reactive oxygen species. These highly reactive species can decrease proliferation and induce tumor cell death. The search for PS of natural origin extracted from plants becomes relevant, as they have photoactivation capacity, preferentially targeting tumor cells and because they do not present any or little toxicity to healthy cells. OBJECTIVE Our work aimed to carry out a qualitative systematic review to investigate the effects of curcumin (CUR), a molecule considered as PS of natural origin, on PDT, using red light or near infrared radiation, in tumor models. METHODS A systematic search was performed in three databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science) using the PICOT method, retrieving a total of 1,373 occurrences. At the end of the peer screening, using inclusion, exclusion, and eligibility criteria, 25 eligible articles were included in this systematic review. RESULTS CUR, whether in its free state, associated with metal complexes or other PS, and in a nanocarrier system, was considered a relevant PS for PDT using red light or near-infrared against tumoral models in vitro and in vivo, acting by increasing cytotoxicity, inhibiting proliferation, inducing cell death mainly by apoptosis, and changing oxidative parameters. CONCLUSION The results found in this systematic review suggest the potential use of CUR as a PS of natural origin to be applied in PDT against many neoplasms, encouraging further search in the field of PDT against cancer and serving as an investigative basis for upcoming pre-clinical and clinical applications.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) are therapeutic techniques based on a photosensitizer (PS) and light. These techniques allow the spatial and temporal control of the activation of drugs with light. Transition metal complexes are attractive compounds as photoactivatable prodrugs since their excited states can be appropriately designed by subtle modifications of the ligands, the metal centre, or the oxidation state. However, most metal-based PSs contain heavy metals such as Ru, Os, Ir, Pt or Au, which are expensive and non-earth-abundant, contrary to first-row transition metals. In this context, the exploration of the photochemical properties of complexes based on first-row transition metals appears to be extremely promising. This did encourage several groups to develop promising PSs based on these metals. This review presents up-to-date state-of-the-art information on first-row-transition metal complexes, from titanium to zinc in regard to their application as PSs for phototherapeutic applications.

Abstract
Two novel unsymmetrical binucleating aroylhydrazonic ligands and four dicopper(II) complexes carrying fluorescent benzopyranothiophene (BPT) or boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) entities were synthesized and fully characterized. Complex 1, derived from the BPT-containing ligand H3L1, had its crystal structure elucidated through X-ray diffraction measurements. The absorption and fluorescence profiles of all the compounds obtained were discussed. Additionally, the stability of the ligands and complexes was monitored by UV-vis spectroscopy in DMSO and biologically relevant media. All the compounds showed moderate to high cytotoxicity towards the triple negative human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. BPT derivatives were the most cytotoxic, specially H3L1, reaching an IC50 value up to the nanomolar range. Finally, fluorescence microscopy imaging studies employing mitochondria- and nucleus-staining dyes showed that the BODIPY-carrying ligand H3L2 was highly cell permeant and suggested that the compound preferentially accumulates in the mitochondria.

Abstract
Boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) based photosensitizers as porphyrinoids and curcumin as natural product possess exciting photophysical features suitable for theranostic applications, namely, imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT). Limited aqueous solubility and insufficient physiological stability, however, reduce their efficacy significantly. We have designed a novel strategy to deliver these two unusable cytotoxins simultaneously in cancer cells and herein, report the synthesis, characterization and imaging-assisted photocytotoxicity of three zinc(II) complexes containing N3-donor dipicolylamine (dpa) ligands (L1-3) and O,O-donor curcumin (Hcur) viz. [Zn(L1)(cur)]Cl (1), [Zn(L2)(cur)]Cl (2) and [Zn(L3)(cur)]Cl (3), where L2 and L3 have pendant fluorescent BODIPY and non-emissive di-iodo-BODIPY moieties. Metal chelation imparted remarkable biological stability (pH ∼7.4) to the respective ligands and induces significant aqueous solubility. These ternary complexes could act as replacements of the existing metalloporphyrin-based PDT photosensitizers as their visible-light photosensitizing ability is reinforced by the dual presence of blue light absorbing curcumin and green light harvesting BODIPY units. Complex 2 having emissive BODIPY unit L2 and curcumin, showed mitochondria selective localization in HeLa, MCF-7 cancer cells and complex 3, the di-iodinated analogue of complex 2, exhibited type-I/II PDT activity via inducing apoptosis through mitochondrial membrane disruption in cancer cells while being significantly nontoxic in dark and to the healthy cells.

Abstract
Maloplatin-B, a cisplatin-based complex, namely [Pt(A-BOD)(NH3)2](NO3) (Pt-A-BOD) with a pendant boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moiety, where HA-BOD is a methyl malonyl chloride derived monostyryl BODIPY ligand, was designed and developed as near-IR light (600-720 nm) organelle-targeting photodynamic therapy agent. The complex [Pt(acac)(NH3)2](NO3) (Pt-Ac) was used as a control. Pt-A-BOD displayed an absorption band at 616 nm (ε = 2.9 × 104 M-1 cm-1) in 10% dimethyl sulfoxide/Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMSO/DMEM, pH 7.2). This complex displayed a broad emission band within 650-850 nm with a λem value of 720 nm in 10% DMSO-DMEM (pH 7.2) upon excitation (λex) at 615 nm with a large Stokes shift. The fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF) value for Pt-A-BOD is 0.032 and for the ligand HA-BOD is 0.24. The BODIPY complex and ligand showed the formation of singlet oxygen as the ROS (reactive oxygen species) on irradiation with near-IR red light of 660 nm, as evidenced from a 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) assay. The complex displayed remarkable apoptotic NIR light-induced PDT activity with half-maximum inhibitory concentration values (IC50) of 1.6-2.4 μM in A549 lung and HeLa cervical cancer cells, while it was less active in the dark. The cellular ROS generation by the complex in red light was ascertained by a DCFDA (2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate) assay. Cellular imaging showed its localization primarily in the mitochondria of A549 cancer cells. The JC1 and Annexin-V FITC/PI assays carried out for A549 cancer cells treated with the BODIPY complex showed the alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptotic cell death on near-IR red light (600-720 nm) irradiation, respectively.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
Curcumin is a plant-derived polyphenolic active substance with broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. Curcumin blocks bacterial growth owing to its structural characteristics and the generation of antioxidation products. Curcumin can inhibit bacterial virulence factors, inhibit bacterial biofilm formation and prevent bacterial adhesion to host receptors through the bacterial quorum sensing regulation system. As a photosensitizer, curcumin acts under blue light irradiation to induce phototoxicity and inhibit bacterial growth. Moreover, it can exert a synergistic antibacterial effect with other antibacterial substances. In this review, we summarize the research progress on the antibacterial mechanism of curcumin based on five targeting structures and two modes of action. Our discussion provides a theoretical basis and technical foundation for the development and application of natural antibacterial agents.

Abstract
Ru(ii)-polypyridyl complexes have been widely studied and well established for their antitumor properties. Modifications of the coordination environment around the Ru atom through a proper choice of the ligand can lead to different modes of action and result in greatly improved anticancer efficacy. Herein, two Ru(ii)-polypyridyl complexes of curcumin were synthesized and characterized as potential anticancer agents. In vitro tests indicated that complexes 1 and 2 displayed excellent antiproliferative activity against the tested cancer cell lines, especially complex 2, which exhibited superior cytotoxicity compared to curcumin and cisplatin. Further biological evaluations demonstrated that complexes 1 and 2 can cause cell apoptosis via DNA interaction and MEK/ERK signaling pathway, which is the first example of a Ru(ii)-polypyridyl complex inhibiting the MEK/ERK signaling pathway and DNA intercalation. Overall, this work suggests that coordination with bioactive agents may endow Ru(ii)-polypyridyl complexes with improved pharmaceutical properties and synergistic effects for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Mixed-ligand platinum(ii) complexes, [Pt(phen)(pacac)](NO3) (1), [Pt(phen)(cur)](NO3) (2), [Pt(bt-phen)(cur)](NO3) (3) and [Pt(phen)(scur)](NO3) (4), where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, bt-phen is 5-biotin-1,10-phenanthroline, pacac is 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedioate anion, Hcur is curcumin and Hscur is diglucosylcurcumin, were prepared, characterized and their anticancer activity studied. Complexes 2-4 showed absorption bands within 410-430 nm (ε, 2.1 × 104 to 2.8 × 104 M-1 cm-1) in 10% DMSO-DPBS (Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline) and emission bands near 530 nm (λex = 410-430 nm) with a fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF) value of ∼0.02. The curcumin complexes showed stability over a study period of 48 h. The photocytotoxicity was studied using human cervical HeLa, human liver HepG2, human breast cancer MDA-MB 231 and human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cancer cells along with human immortalized lung epithelial HPL1D as normal cells. Complexes 2-4 showed apoptotic photo-induced cell death in light of wavelength 400-700 nm (IC50, half maximal inhibitory concentration: 6-28 μM) by reactive oxygen species (ROS), while remaining inactive in the dark (IC50: 43-95 μM). The selectivity of the complexes 3 and 4 was enhanced significantly towards the cancer cells than towards the normal cells, thus making them targeted photochemotherapeutic agents. The ROS formation and mode of cell death were studied from 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA) and annexin-V/FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate)-PI assays, respectively. Preferential nuclear and mitochondrial localization was evidenced from inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) studies.

Abstract
Cis-dichloro-oxovanadium(IV) complexes [VO(L1/L2)Cl2], where L1 is N-(4-(5,5-difluoro-1,3,7,9-tetramethyl-5H-4ʎ4,5ʎ4-dipyrrolo[1,2-c:2',1'-f][1,3,2]diazaborinin-10-yl)benzyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine in 1 and L2 is N-(4-(5,5-difluoro-2,8-diiodo-1,3,7,9-tetramethyl-5H-4ʎ4,5ʎ4-dipyrrolo[1,2-c:2',1'-f][1,3,2]diazaborinin-10-yl)benzyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine in 2) having 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene as boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) appended dipicolylamine bases were prepared, characterized and their photocytotoxicity studied. X-ray crystal structure of 1 showed distorted octahedral geometry with a VIVON3Cl2 core having Cl-V-Cl angle of 91.93(4)°. The complexes showed variable solution conductivity properties. They were non-electrolytes in dry DMF at 25 °C but showed 1:1 electrolytic behavior in an aqueous medium due to dissociation of one chloride ligand as evidenced from the mass spectral study. Complexes 1 and 2 showed absorption bands at 500 and 535 nm, respectively. The calf thymus DNA melting study revealed their interaction through DNA crosslinking on exposure to light which was further confirmed from the alkaline agarose gel electrophoresis using plasmid supercoiled pUC19 DNA. Complex 2 showed disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential in the JC-1 (1,1',3,3'-tetraethyl-5,5',6,6'-tetrachloroimidacarbocyanine iodide) assay. The complexes were photocytotoxic in visible light (400-700 nm, power: 10 J cm-2) in cervical cancer HeLa and breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Complex 2 having a photoactive diiodo‑boron-dipyrromethene moiety gave a singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ) value of ~0.6. It showed singlet oxygen mediated apoptotic photodynamic therapy activity with remarkably low IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) value of ~0.15 μM. The cis-disposition of chlorides gave a cis-divacant 4-coordinate intermediate structure from the density functional theory (DFT) study thus mimicking the DNA crosslinking property of cisplatin.

Abstract
Background:
Since the serendipitous discovery of the antitumor activity of cisplatin
there has been a continuous surge in studies aimed at the development of new cytotoxic
metal complexes. While the majority of these complexes have been designed to interact with
nuclear DNA, other targets for anticancer metallodrugs attract increasing interest. In cancer
cells the mitochondrial metabolism is deregulated. Impaired apoptosis, insensitivity to antigrowth
signals and unlimited proliferation have been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. It
is therefore not surprising that mitochondria have emerged as a major target for cancer therapy.
Mitochondria-targeting agents are able to bypass resistance mechanisms and to (re-) activate
cell-death programs.
Methods:
Web-based literature searching tools such as SciFinder were used to search for reports
on cytotoxic metal complexes that are taken up by the mitochondria and interact with
mitochondrial DNA or mitochondrial proteins, disrupt the mitochondrial membrane potential,
facilitate mitochondrial membrane permeabilization or activate mitochondria-dependent celldeath
signaling by unbalancing the cellular redox state. Included in the search were publications
investigating strategies to selectively accumulate metallodrugs in the mitochondria.
Results:
This review includes 241 references on antimitochondrial metal complexes, the use
of mitochondria-targeting carrier ligands and the formation of lipophilic cationic complexes.
Conclusion:
Recent developments in the design, cytotoxic potency, and mechanistic understanding
of antimitochondrial metal complexes, in particular of cyclometalated Au, Ru, Ir and
Pt complexes, Ru polypyridine complexes and Au-N-heterocyclic carbene and phosphine
complexes are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Four ternary copper(II) complexes of N-salicylyl-l-Tryptophan (Sal-TrpH) and phenanthroline bases of general formula [Cu(Sal-Trp)(L)], where L is 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, 1), dipyrido[3,2-d:2',3'-f]quinoxaline (dpq, 2), dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz, 3) and 2-(anthracen-1-yl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (aip, 4), were synthesized and fully characterized. The complexes were evaluated for their affinity for biomolecules and photocytotoxic activities. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of complex 1 revealed that it has a square pyramidal CuN3O2 core with the phenolate oxygen of salicylaldehyde occupying the axial coordination site in the solid state. Complexes 1-4 displayed the Cu(II)-Cu(I) redox couples at ~-0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode in DMF-0.1 M [Bun4N](ClO4). A Cu(II)-based weak d-d band ~650 nm and a moderately strong ligand to metal charge transfer band at ~430 nm were observed in DMF-Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.2) (1:4 v/v). The complexes are efficient binders to calf thymus DNA and model proteins such as bovine serum albumin and lysozyme. They cleave supercoiled plasmid DNA efficiently when exposed to 446 and 660 nm laser radiation. They are cytotoxic to HeLa (human cervical cancer) and MCF-7 (human breast cancer) cells showing significant enhancement of cytotoxicity upon photo-excitation with low energy visible light. The complexes are found to kill cancer cells through generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as confirmed by DCFDA (2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate) assay. The apoptotic cell death induced by complex 4 was confirmed by Annexin V-Fluorescein isothiocyanate-Propidium iodide assay. Confocal microscopic images using 4 showed its primary cytosolic localization in the HeLa and MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Monofunctional pyriplatin analogues cis-[Pt(NH3)2(L)Cl](NO3) (1-3) having boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) pendants (L) with 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(4-pyridyl)-4,4'-difluoroboradiazaindacene moieties were designed and synthesized, and their photocytotoxic properties were studied. The Pt-BODIPY conjugates displayed an absorption band within 505-550 nm and a green emissive band near 535 nm in 1% DMSO/DMEM (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium) buffer. Complex cis-[Pt(NH3)2(4-Me-py)Cl](NO3) (4) was used as a control for determining the structural aspects by X-ray crystallography. The mono- and diiodinated BODIPY complexes 2 and 3 showed generation of singlet oxygen on light activation as evidenced from the 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) titration experiments. The cytotoxicity of the BODIPY complexes was tested against A549 (human lung cancer), MCF-7 (human breast cancer), and HaCaT (human skin keratinocyte) cells in dark and visible light (400-700 nm, 10 J cm-2). While complexes 2 and 3 showed excellent photocytotoxicity (IC50 ≈ 0.05 μM), they remained essentially nontoxic in the dark (IC50 > 100 μM). The emissive bands of 1 and 2 were used for cellular imaging by confocal microscopy study, which showed their mitochondrial localization. This was further supported by platinum estimation from isolated mitochondria and mitochondrial depolarization through a JC-1 assay. The photomediated apoptotic cell death was evidenced from flow cytometric assays, annexin-V/FITC-PI (fluorescein isothiocyanate-propidium iodide) and cell cycle arrest in sub-G1 and G2/M phases. The complexes bind to 9-ethylguanine as a model nucleobase to form monoadducts. A mechanistic study on DNA photocleavage activity using pUC19 DNA showed singlet oxygen as the reactive oxygen species (ROS). The combination of photodynamic therapy with DNA cross-linking property enhanced the anticancer potential of the monofunctional BODIPY-conjugates of pyriplatins.

Abstract
BODIPYs are photosensitizers activatable by light to generate highly reactive singlet oxygen (1O2) from molecular oxygen, leading to tissue damage in the photoirradiated region. Despite their extraordinary photophysical characteristics, they are not featured in clinical photodynamic therapy. This review discusses the recent advances in the design and/or modifications of BODIPYs since 2013, to improve their potential in photodynamic cancer therapy and related areas.

Abstract
Ternary oxidovanadium(IV) complexes of curcumin (Hcur), dipicolylamine (dpa) base, and its derivatives having pendant noniodinated and di-iodinated boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY) moiety (L1 and L2, respectively), namely, [VO(dpa)(cur)]ClO4 (1), [VO(L1)(cur)]ClO4 (2), and [VO(L2)(cur)]ClO4 (3) and their chloride salts (1a-3a) were prepared, characterized, and studied for anticancer activity. The chloride salts were used for biological studies due to their aqueous solubility. Complex 1 was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The complex has a VO2+ moiety bound to dpa ligand showing N,N,N-coordination in a facial mode, and curcumin is bound in its mono-anionic enolic form. The V-O(cur) distances are 1.950(18) and 1.977(16) Å, while the V-N bond lengths are 2.090(2), 2.130(2), and 2.290(2) Å. The bond trans to V═O is long due to trans effect. The complexes are stable in a solution phase over a long period of time of 48 h without showing any apparent degradation of the curcumin ligand. The diiodo-BODIPY ligand (L2) or Hcur alone showed limited solution stability in dark. The emissive BODIPY (L1) containing complex 2a showed preferential mitochondrial localization in MCF-7 cells in cellular imaging experiments. The cytotoxicity of the complexes was studied by MTT assay. The BODIPY complex 3a showed excellent photodynamic therapy effect in visible light (400-700 nm) giving IC50 values of 2-6 μM in HeLa and MCF-7 cancer cells, while being less toxic in dark (∼100 μM). The cell death was apoptotic in nature involving reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mechanistic data from pUC19 DNA photocleavage studies revealed photogenerated ROS as primarily 1O2 from the BODIPY moiety and ·OH radicals from the curcumin ligand.

Abstract
Monofunctional platinum(II) complexes of formulation cis-[Pt(NH3)2(L)Cl](NO3), where L is an imidazole base conjugated to 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) with emissive (L1 in 1) and nonemissive (L2 in 2) moieties were prepared and characterized, and their singlet oxygen-mediated photoinduced cytotoxicity was studied. The 1-methylimidazole (1-MeIm) complex 3 was prepared as a control and for structural characterization by X-ray crystallography. Complexes 1 and 2 showed strong visible absorption bands at 500 nm (ε = 2.7 × 104 M-1 cm-1) and 540 nm (1.4 × 104 M-1 cm-1). Complex 1 is emissive with a band at 510 nm (ΦF = 0.09) in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide/Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (pH 7.2). Singlet oxygen generation upon photoirradiation with visible light (400-700 nm) was evidenced from 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran titration experiments showing significant photosensitizing ability of the BODIPY complexes. Both 1 and 2 were remarkably photocytotoxic in visible light (400-700 nm, 10 J cm-2) in skin keratinocyte HaCaT and breast cancer MCF-7 cells giving IC50 values in nanomolar concentration. The complexes were, however, essentially nontoxic to the cells in the dark (IC50 > 80 μM). Complex 2 having a diiodo-BODIPY unit is nonemissive but an efficient photosensitizer with high singlet oxygen generation ability in visible light (400-700 nm). Confocal microscopy using the emissive complex 1 showed significant mitochondrial localization of the complex. Cell death via apoptotic pathway was observed from the Annexin-V-FITC/PI assay. The formation of Pt-DNA adducts was evidenced from the binding experiments of the complexes 1 and 2 with 9-ethylguanine as a model nucleobase from 1H NMR and mass spectral studies.

Abstract
Oxovanadium(iv) complexes of vitamin-B6 Schiff base, viz., [VO(HL(1)/L(2)/L(3))(B)]Cl (), where B is 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy in and ), 11-(9-acridinyl)dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (acdppz in and ), H2L(1)·HCl is 3-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(((2-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)-2-methylpyridin-1-ium chloride (in and ), HL(2) is 2-(((2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol (in ) and HL(3) is 4-(((2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpyridin-3-ol (in ) were synthesized, characterized and their cellular uptake, photo-activated cytotoxicity and intracellular localization were studied. Complexes , as the perchlorate salt of , and , as the hexafluorophosphate salt of , were structurally characterized. Vitamin-B6 transporting membrane carrier (VTC) mediated entry into tumour cells in preference to the normal ones seems to be responsible for the higher cellular uptake of the complexes into HeLa and MCF-7 cells over MCF-10A cells. Complexes and having acdppz as the photosensitizer exhibit remarkable photocytotoxicity in these cancer cells giving IC50 of <0.9 μM. The complexes remain non-toxic in the dark. The complexes show photo-induced apoptotic cell death via singlet oxygen ((1)O2) generation. Fluorescence microscopy reveals specific localization of complex to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and generation of (1)O2 possibly leads to apoptotic cell death by triggering ER stress response (ERSR).

Abstract
Platinum(II) complexes of the type [Pt(L)(cat)] (1 and 2), in which H2 cat is catechol and L represents two 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole ligands with 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY) pendants, were synthesized to achieve mitochondria-targeted photocytotoxicity. The complexes showed strong absorptions in the range λ=510-540 nm. Complex 1 exhibited intense emission at λ=525 nm in 1 % DMSO/water solution (fluorescence quantum yield of 0.06). Nanosecond transient absorption spectral features indicated an enhanced population of the triplet excited state in di-iodinated complex 2. The generation of singlet oxygen by complex 2 upon exposure to visible light, as evidenced from experiments with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran, is suitable for photodynamic therapy because of the remarkable photosensitizing ability. The complexes resulted in excellent photocytotoxicity in HaCaT cells (half maximal inhibitory concentration IC50 ≈3 μm, λ=400-700 nm, light dose=10 J cm(-2) ), but they remained non-toxic in the dark (IC50 >100 μm). Confocal microscopy images of 1 and Pt estimation from isolated mitochondria showed colocalization of the complexes in the mitochondria. Complex 2 displayed generation of reactive oxygen species induced by visible light, disruption of the mitochondrial membrane potential, and apoptosis.

Abstract
Curcumin is a polyphenolic species. As an active ingredient of turmeric, it is well-known for its traditional medicinal properties. The therapeutic values include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and anticancer activity with the last being primarily due to inhibition of the transcription factor NF-κB besides affecting several biological pathways to arrest tumor growth and its progression. Curcumin with all these positive qualities has only remained a potential candidate for cancer treatment over the years without seeing any proper usage because of its hydrolytic instability involving the diketo moiety in a cellular medium and its poor bioavailability. The situation has changed considerably in recent years with the observation that curcumin in monoanionic form could be stabilized on binding to a metal ion. The reports from our group and other groups have shown that curcumin in the metal-bound form retains its therapeutic potential. This has opened up new avenues to develop curcumin-based metal complexes as anticancer agents. Zinc(II) complexes of curcumin are shown to be stable in a cellular medium. They display moderate cytotoxicity against prostate cancer and neuroblastoma cell lines. A similar stabilization and cytotoxic effect is reported for (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes of curcumin against a variety of cell lines. The half-sandwich 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1]decane (RAPTA)-type ruthenium(II) complexes of curcumin are shown to be promising cytotoxic agents with low micromolar concentrations for a series of cancer cell lines. In a different approach, cobalt(III) complexes of curcumin are used for its cellular delivery in hypoxic tumor cells using intracellular agents that reduce the metal and release curcumin as a cytotoxin. Utilizing the photophysical and photochemical properties of the curcumin dye, we have designed and synthesized photoactive curcumin metal complexes that are used for cellular imaging by fluorescence microscopy and damaging the cancer cells on photoactivation in visible light while being minimally toxic in darkness. In this Account, we have made an attempt to review the current status of the chemistry of metal curcumin complexes and present results from our recent studies on curcumin complexes showing remarkable in vitro photocytotoxicity. The undesirable dark toxicity of the complexes can be reduced with suitable choice of the metal and the ancillary ligands in a ternary structure. The complexes can be directed to specific subcellular organelles. Selectivity by targeting cancer cells over normal cells can be achieved with suitable ligand design. We expect that this methodology is likely to provide an impetus toward developing curcumin-based photochemotherapeutics for anticancer treatment and cure.
