Abstract
The anticancer properties of well-defined molecules serve to bolster the field of metals in medicine. Such compounds, particularly those of platinum and their closely related structural analogs, continue to be potentially highly interesting to researchers and clinicians alike. The four octahedral organoplatinum(IV) compounds [Pt(CH3)2X2{bipy-R 2 }] (X = Br, I; bipy-R 2 = 2,2'-bipyridine, 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) have been isolated and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopic data are also tabulated as useful reference values. The anticancer potential of each compound was assessed via in vitro MTT assays, using human breast cancer cells (cell line ZR-75-1). EC50 values were determined as 11.5 μM for Pt(CH3)2Br2{bipy}; 3020 μM, for Pt(CH3)2Br2{bipy-(CO 2 H) 2 }; 6.1 μM, for Pt(CH3)2I2{bipy}; and 86.0 μM, for Pt(CH3)2I2{bipy-(CO 2 H) 2 }; for comparison, the EC50 value for cisplatin against the ZR-75-1 cells was 16.4 μM. The most cytotoxic of the four compounds Pt(CH3)2I2{bipy} undergoes reaction with glutathione in a THF/water mixture at 68°C very slowly.

Abstract
Abstract
Numerous platinum group metals (PGMs) complexes contain azo-azomethine-based ligands. Azo-azomethine ligands are N-donor ligands that have extended conjugated π-bonded systems and both azo (–N=N–) and aldimine (–C=N–) functions in their structure. Plenty of platinum (Pt) complexes with azo-imine ligands have been prepared and characterized. Various multidentate azo-imine ligands coordinated with different platinum metal substrates afforded structurally diverse platinum chelates. Nonetheless, many azo-imine-based platinum complexes demonstrated a wide range of biological activities, photo-switchable properties, and redox activities. The review encompasses a general overview of platinum complexes with versatile azo-azomethine ligands, their synthetic protocol, spectroscopic and structural features, chemical reactivity, and multipurpose applications in different areas.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of mixed-ligand Cu(II) complexes of metformin and ciprofloxacin drugs together with 1,10-phenanthroline as a co-ligand. The synthesized complexes were characterized using different spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. In vitro cytotoxic activity against human breast adenocarcinoma cancer cell line (MCF-7) as well as antibacterial activity against two gram-negative and two gram-positive bacterial strains were also investigated. The analyses of the experimental results were supported using quantum chemical calculations and molecular docking studies against estrogen receptor alpha (ERα; PDB: 5GS4). The cytotoxicity of the [Cu(II) (metformin) (1,10-phenanthroline)] complex (1), with IC50 of 4.29 µM, and the [Cu(II) (ciprofloxacin) (1,10-phenanthroline)] complex (2), with IC50 of 7.58 µM, were found to be more effective than the referenced drug, cisplatin which has IC50 of 18.62 µM against MCF-7 cell line. The molecular docking analysis is also in good agreement with the experimental results, with binding affinities of –7.35, –8.76 and –6.32 kcal/mol, respectively, for complexes 1, 2 and cisplatin against ERα. Moreover, complex 2 showed significant antibacterial activity against E. coli (inhibition diameter zone, IDZ, = 17.3 mm), P. aeruginosa (IDZ = 17.08 mm), and S. pyogen (IDZ = 17.33 mm), at 25 μg/ml compared to ciprofloxacin (IDZ = 20.0, 20.3, and 21.3 mm), respectively. Our BOILED-egg model indicated that the synthesized metal complexes have potentially minimal neurotoxicity than that of cisplatin.

Abstract
Metal complexes have demonstrated significant antitumor activities and platinum complexes are well established in the clinical application of cancer chemotherapy. However, the platinum-based treatment of different types of cancers is massively hampered by severe side effects and resistance development. Consequently, the development of novel metal-based drugs with different mechanism of action and pharmaceutical profile attracts modern medicinal chemists to design and synthesize novel metal-based agents. Among non-platinum anticancer drugs, gold complexes have gained considerable attention due to their significant antiproliferative potency and efficacy. In most situations, the gold complexes exhibit anticancer activities by targeting thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) or other thiol-rich proteins and enzymes and trigger cell death via reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, gold complexes were recently reported to elicit biochemical hallmarks of immunogenic cell death (ICD) as an ICD inducer. In this review, the recent progress of gold(I) and gold(III) complexes is comprehensively summarized, and their activities and mechanism of action are documented.

Abstract
![]()
The synthesis, full
characterization, photochemical properties,
and cytotoxic activity toward cisplatin-resistant cancer cell lines
of new semisquaraine-type Pt(II) complexes are presented. The synthesis
of eight semisquaraine-type ligands has been carried out by means
of an innovative, straightforward methodology. A thorough structural
NMR and X-ray diffraction analysis of the new ligands and complexes
has been done. Density functional theory calculations have allowed
to assign the trans configuration of the platinum
center. Through the structural modification of the ligands, it has
been possible to synthesize some complexes, which have turned out
to be photoactive at wavelengths that allow their activation in cell
cultures and, importantly, two of them show remarkable solubility
in biological media. Photodegradation processes have been studied
in depth, including the structural identification of photoproducts,
thus justifying the changes observed after irradiation. From biological
assessment, complexes C7 and C8 have been
demonstrated to behave as promising photoactivatable compounds in
the assayed cancer cell lines. Upon photoactivation, both complexes
are capable of inducing a higher cytotoxic effect on the tested cells
compared with nonphotoactivated compounds. Among the observed results,
it is remarkable to note that C7 showed a PI > 50
in
HeLa cells, and C8 showed a PI > 40 in A2780 cells,
being
also effective over cisplatin-resistant A2780cis cells (PI = 7 and
PI = 4, respectively). The mechanism of action of these complexes
has been studied, revealing that these photoactivated platinum complexes
would actually present a combined mode of action, a therapeutically
potential advantage. The
synthesis, full characterization, photochemical properties,
and cytotoxic activity toward cisplatin-resistant cancer cell lines
of new semisquaraine-type Pt(II) complexes are presented. Eight semisquaraine-type
ligands and their corresponding Pt(II) complexes have been studied.
These complexes have turned out to be photoactive at wavelengths that
allow their activation in cell cultures. Two of them display remarkable
solubility in biological media showing a promising behavior as photoactivatable
compounds against several cancer cell lines.

Abstract
Platinum(II)-based drugs are widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, especially in combination protocols. Severe side effects and occurrence of resistance are the major limitations to their clinical use. To overcome these drawbacks, a plethora of Pt(IV) derivatives, acting as anticancer prodrugs, have been designed, synthesized and preclinically (often only in vitro) tested. Here, we summarize the recent progress in the development and understanding of the chemical properties and biochemical features of these Pt(IV) prodrugs, especially those containing bioactive molecules as axial ligands, acting as multi-functional agents. Even though no such prodrugs have been yet approved for clinical use, many show encouraging pharmacological profiles. Thus, a better understanding of their features is a promising approach towards improving the available Pt-based anticancer agents.

Abstract
Prompted by the antineoplastic properties of cisplatin, a plethora of platinum(ii)-based complexes have been synthesized in the past decades. At present, their rational design is based on a number of structure-activity relationships involving the nature of the ligands initially coordinated to platinum(ii): either non-labile (acting as a carrier) or labile (undergoing substitution). The coordinate bond strength of the labile ligand plays a key role in the first step of the drug mechanism of action, i.e., the hydrolysis process, which is associated to the retention time of the medicine in the body. Therefore, an accurate determination of the metal-ligand bond strength becomes highly relevant as it will help the rational design of novel chemotherapeutic agents. Herein, we challenge the recently developed intrinsic bond strength index (IBSI) as a rapid and practical tool to assess the ligand lability in Pt(ii) complexes. In a first stage, given the importance of the trans-effect in synthetic strategies of cisplatin-based drugs, the effect of eleven trans-directing ligands T is quantified in two sets of complexes [Pt(NH3)2(H2O)T]n+ and [PtCl2(NH3)T]m+ where T = H2O, F-, NH3, Cl-, Br-, I-, SO32-, CH3-, CN-, CO, and H-. An essential outcome of this work is a novel index IBSItrans = IBSIσ + IBSIπ able to rank the directing ligands by their trans-effect according to their σ-donation and π-backbonding electronic contributions. In a second stage, we apply the IBSI score to a panel of eleven case studies, comprising mostly antineoplastic agents, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, lobaplatin etc., in order to quantify the coordinate bond strength of the ligands, providing insights about the hydrolysis process. The obtained results, in good agreement with experimental data and reported theoretical studies, demonstrate that the IBSI score is able to deliver a rapid and reliable picture of the coordinate bond strength, representing a chemically intuitive tool helpful for the development of novel anticancer agents prior to synthetic efforts.

Abstract
Platinum azide complexes are appealing anticancer photochemotherapy drug candidates because they release cytotoxic azide radicals upon light irradiation. Here we present a density matrix renormalization group self-consistent field (DMRG-SCF) study of the azide photodissociation mechanism of trans,trans,trans-[Pt(N3)2(OH)2(NH3)2], including spin-orbit coupling. We find a complex interplay of singlet and triplet electronic excited states that falls into three different dissociation channels at well-separated energies. These channels can be accessed either via direct excitation into barrierless dissociative states or via intermediate doorway states from which the system undergoes non-radiative internal conversion and intersystem crossing. The high density of states, particularly of spin-mixed states, is key to aid non-radiative population transfer and enhance photodissociation along the lowest electronic excited states.

Abstract
More than four decades have passed since the first example of a light-activated (caged) compound was described. In the intervening years, a large number of light-responsive derivatives have been reported, several of which have found utility under a variety of in vitro conditions using cells and tissues. Light-triggered bioactivity furnishes spatial and temporal control, and offers the possibility of precision dosing and orthogonal communication with different biomolecules. These inherent attributes of light have been advocated as advantageous for the delivery and/or activation of drugs at diseased sites for a variety of indications. However, the tissue penetrance of light is profoundly wavelength-dependent. Only recently have phototherapeutics that are photoresponsive in the optical window of tissue (600-900 nm) been described. This Review highlights these recent discoveries, along with their limitations and clinical opportunities. In addition, we describe preliminary in vivo studies of prospective phototherapeutics, with an emphasis on the path that remains to be navigated in order to translate light-activated drugs into clinically useful therapeutics. Finally, the unique attributes of phototherapeutics is highlighted by discussing several potential disease applications.

Abstract
Mono-axial functionalised octahedral diazido Pt(iv) complexes trans, trans, trans-[Pt(py)2(N3)2(OR1)(OR2)] (OR1 = OH and OR2 = anticancer agent coumarin-3 carboxylate (cou, 2a), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) inhibitors 4-phenylbutyrate (PhB, 2b) or dichloroacetate (DCA, 2c)), and their di-axial functionalised analogues with OR1 = DCA and OR2 = cou (3a), PhB (3b), or DCA (3c) have been synthesised and characterised, including the X-ray crystal structures of complexes 2a, 3a, 3b and 3c. These complexes exhibit dark stability and have the potential to generate cytotoxic Pt(ii) species and free radicals selectively in cancer cells when irradiated. Mono-functionalised complexes 2a-2c showed higher aqueous solubility and more negative reduction potentials. Mono- and di-functionalised complexes displayed higher photocytotoxicity with blue light (1 h, 465 nm, 4.8 mW cm-2) than the parent dihydroxido complex 1 (OR1 = OR2 = OH) in A2780 human ovarian (IC50 0.9-2.9 μM for 2a-2c; 0.11-0.39 μM for 3a-3c) and A549 human lung cancer cells (5.4-7.8 μM for 2a-2c; 1.2-2.6 μM for 3a-3c) with satisfactory dark stability. Notably, no apparent dark cytotoxicity was observed in healthy lung MRC-5 fibroblasts for all complexes (IC50 > 20 μM). Significantly higher platinum cellular accumulation and photo-generated ROS levels were observed for the di-functionalised complexes compared with their mono-functionalised analogues when cancer cells were treated under the same concentrations.

Investigations of the Kinetics and Mechanism of Reduction of a Carboplatin Pt(IV) Prodrug by the Major Small-Molecule Reductants in Human Plasma. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20225660. [PMID: 31726728 PMCID: PMC6888404 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20225660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 11/07/2019] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The development of Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs to overcome the detrimental side effects of Pt(II)-based anticancer drugs is of current interest. The kinetics and reaction mechanisms of the reductive activation of the carboplatin Pt(IV) prodrug cis,trans-[Pt(cbdca)(NH3)2Cl2] (cbdca = cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate) by the major small-molecule reductants in human plasma were analyzed in this work. The reductants included ascorbate (Asc), the thiol-containing molecules L-cysteine (Cys), DL-homocysteine (Hcy), and glutathione (GSH), and the dipeptide Cys–Gly. Overall second-order kinetics were established in all cases. At the physiological pH of 7.4, the observed second-order rate constants k′ followed the order Asc << Cys–Gly ~ Hcy < GSH < Cys. This reactivity order together with the abundances of the reductants in human plasma indicated Cys as the major small-molecule reductant in vivo, followed by GSH and ascorbate, whereas Hcy is much less important. In the cases of Cys and GSH, detailed reaction mechanisms and the reactivity of the various protolytic species at physiological pH were derived. The rate constants of the rate-determining steps were evaluated, allowing the construction of reactivity-versus-pH distribution diagrams for Cys and GSH. The diagrams unraveled that species III of Cys (−SCH2CH(NH3+)COO−) and species IV of GSH (−OOCCH(NH3+)CH2CH2CONHCH(CH2S−)- CONHCH2COO−) were exclusively dominant in the reduction process. These two species are anticipated to be of pivotal importance in the reduction of other types of Pt(IV) prodrugs as well.

Abstract
A series of Pt(II) complexes trans-[Pt(PPh2 allyl)2 (κ1 -S-SR)2 ], 1, PPh2 allyl=allyldiphenylphosphine, SR=pyridine-2-thiol (Spy, 1 a), 5-(trifluoromethyl)-pyridine-2-thiol (SpyCF3 -5, 1 b), pyrimidine-2-thiol (SpyN, 1 c), benzothiazole-2-thiol (Sbt, 1 d), benzimidazole-2-thiol (Sbi, 1 e), were synthesized. They were characterized by NMR, HR ESI-MS, and X-ray crystallography. Treatment of human cancer cell lines (A549, SKOV3, MCF-7) with these complexes resulted in promising antitumor effects in comparison with cisplatin. These compounds showed suitable selectivity between tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic (MCF-10 A) cell lines. Analyses of cell cycle progression and apoptosis were conducted for 1 a, the most cytotoxic compound, to screen dose/time response and to study the antiproliferative mechanism. An electrophoresis mobility shift assay was performed to assess the direct interaction of 1 a with DNA and the strong genotoxic ability was indicated through the comet assay method.

Abstract
Ru(ii) polypyridyl complexes which can undergo photo-induced ligand dissociation and DNA covalent binding are considered as potential photoactivated chemotherapeutic (PACT) agents. Herein four pyridine-2-sulfonate (py-SO3-) ligand based Ru(ii) complexes [Ru(N-N)2(py-SO3)]+ (1-4) were synthesized and studied. All the complexes can undergo fast py-SO3- ligand dissociation and DNA covalent binding upon visible light irradiation. However, only complex 4 exhibited high photo-induced anticancer activities towards a series of cancer cells, with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values in 100-300 nM regions and phototoxicity index (PI) values of about 100. In particular, complex 4 can also kill cisplatin resistant SKOV-3 and A549 cancer cells with IC50 values in 200-400 nM regions and PI values of about 50, which should be the first report of Ru(ii) based PACT agents that are also effective towards cisplatin resistant cancer cells. Complex 4 exhibited much higher cell uptake and nuclear accumulation levels, which may be the main reasons for its high anticancer activities. The in vivo anticancer experiments indicated that complex 4 can inhibit tumor growth significantly with fewer side effects. Our results may provide guidelines for developing novel photoactivatable Ru(ii) anticancer agents.

Abstract
Although ferrocene derivatives have attracted considerable attention as possible anticancer agents, the medicinal potential of diiron complexes has remained largely unexplored. Herein, we describe the straightforward multigram-scale synthesis and the antiproliferative activity of a series of diiron cyclopentadienyl complexes containing bridging vinyliminium ligands. IC50 values in the low-to-mid micromolar range were determined against cisplatin sensitive and resistant human ovarian carcinoma (A2780 and A2780cisR) cell lines. Notable selectivity towards the cancerous cells lines compared to the non-tumoral human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell line was observed for selected compounds. The activity seems to be multimodal, involving reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and, in some cases, a fragmentation process to afford monoiron derivatives. The large structural variability, amphiphilic character and good stability in aqueous media of the diiron vinyliminium complexes provide favorable properties compared to other widely studied classes of iron-based anticancer candidates.

Abstract
Two new squaramide-based platinum(II) complexes C1 and C2 have been synthesized and fully characterized. Their photoresponse has been assessed and is discussed. A remarkable enhancement in the DNA binding activity has been observed for both complexes, up on irradiation. For C2, the release of Pt(II) provoked by its irradiation has been studied. The response of C2 has been found to be regulated by the presence of oxygen. In vitro cytotoxicity tests show an enhancement in the activity of complex C2 after selective irradiation under hypoxic conditions. Resulting Pt(II) species have been isolated and characterized by various analytical methods establishing this type of squaramido-based complexes as a proof of concept for new Pt(II) photocages.

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
![]()
A series of dinuclear
octahedral PtIV complexes trans,trans,trans-[{Pt(N3)2(py)2(OH)(OC(O)CH2CH2C(O)NH)}2R] containing pyridine (py) and bridging
dicarboxylate [R = −CH2CH2– (1), trans-1,2-C6H10– (2), p-C6H4– (3), −CH2CH2CH2CH2– (4)] ligands have
been synthesized and characterized, including the X-ray crystal structures
of complexes 1·2MeOH and 4, the first
photoactivatable dinuclear PtIV complexes with azido ligands.
The complexes are highly stable in the dark, but upon photoactivation
with blue light (420 nm), they release the bridging ligand and mononuclear
photoproducts. Upon irradiation with blue light (465 nm), they generate
azidyl and hydroxyl radicals, detected using a 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide electron paramagnetic resonance spin trap, accompanied
by the disappearance of the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer (N3 → Pt) band at ca. 300 nm. The dinuclear complexes
are photocytotoxic to human cancer cells (465 nm, 4.8 mW/cm2, 1 h), including A2780 human ovarian and esophageal OE19 cells with
IC50 values of 8.8–78.3 μM, whereas cisplatin
is inactive under these conditions. Complexes 1, 3, and 4 are notably more photoactive toward
cisplatin-resistant ovarian A2780cis compared to A2780 cells. Remarkably,
all of the complexes were relatively nontoxic toward normal cells
(MRC5 lung fibroblasts), with IC50 values >100 μM,
even after irradiation. The introduction of an aromatic bridging ligand
(3) significantly enhanced cellular uptake. The populations
in the stages of the cell cycle remained unchanged upon treatment
with complexes in the dark, while the population of the G2/M phase
increased upon irradiation, suggesting that DNA is a target for these
photoactivated dinuclear PtIV complexes. Liquid chromatography–mass
spectrometry data show that the photodecomposition pathway of the
dinuclear complexes results in the release of two molecules of mononuclear
platinum(II) species. As a consequence, DNA binding of the dinuclear
complexes after photoactivation in cell-free media is, in several
respects, qualitatively similar to that of the photoactivated mononuclear
complex FM-190. After photoactivation, they were 2-fold
more effective in quenching the fluorescence of EtBr bound to DNA,
forming DNA interstrand cross-links and unwinding DNA compared to
the photoactivated FM-190. Novel all-trans dinuclear
PtIV complexes bridged
by a dicarboxylate linker, highly stable in the dark, generate azidyl
and hydroxyl radicals upon irradiation with blue light. They are photocytotoxic
to human cancer cells, whereas cisplatin was inactive under these
conditions and more photoactive toward cisplatin-resistant ovarian
cancer cells compared to wild-type cells. Remarkably, the dinuclear
complexes were relatively nontoxic toward normal human cells. Cell
cycle and DNA binding experiments suggested that DNA is a target.

Abstract
Novel anionic cyclometalated Pt(ii) square-planar complexes NBu4[(C^N)PtII(S^S)], containing 2-phenylpyridine H(PhPy), 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-pyridine H(F2PhPy) and benzo[h]quinoline H(Bzq), respectively, as a cyclometalated ligand and the dianionic 1,2-benzenedithiolate (Thio)2- fragment as an (S^S) ligand, were synthesised. By the simple addition of an equivalent of (Thio)2- to the NBu4[(C^N)PtII(Thio)] complexes, octahedral anionic NBu4[(C^N)PtIV(Thio)2] analogues were obtained, representing, to the best of our knowledge, the first examples of Pt(iv) anionic cyclometalated complexes. The molecular structures of the obtained complexes in the case of the NBu4[(Bzq)PtII(Thio)] and the NBu4[(Bzq)PtIV(Thio)2] complexes were confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Furthermore, the electrochemical and photophysical properties of the two series of Pt(ii) and Pt(iv) newly synthesised complexes were studied and DFT and TD-DFT calculations were performed in order to comprehensively investigate the displayed behaviour. All Pt(ii) and Pt(iv) complexes show intense luminescence in the solid state, with remarkable enhancement of the emission quantum yields, proving to be excellent examples of aggregation-induced emission systems.

Abstract
Controlled generation of cytotoxic agents with near-IR light is a current focus of photoactivated cancer therapy, including that involving cytotoxic platinum species. A heptamethine cyanine scaffolded PtII complex, IR797-Platin exhibits unprecedented Pt-O bond scission and enhancement in DNA platination in near-IR light. This complex also displayed significant singlet oxygen quantum yield thereby qualifying as a near-IR photodynamic therapeutic agent. The complex showed 30-60 fold enhancement of cytotoxicity in near-IR light in various cancer cell lines. The cellular imaging properties were also leveraged to observe its significant co-localization in cytoplasmic organelles. This is the first demonstration of a near-IR light-initiated therapy involving the cytotoxic effects of both active cisplatin and singlet oxygen.

Abstract
New organometallic complexes [M(dppe)(R)2] {where M = Pt or Pd, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphano)ethane, and R = C6F4H-x (x = 6,5,4), C6F3H2-3,5, C6F3H2-5,6, C6F3H2-3,6, C6F4(OMe)-4, and C6F4(cyclo-C5H10N)-4, the numbers x refer to the positions of the protons in the polyfluoroaryl ligands} were synthesised either through transmetalation from the dichlorido complexes [M(dppe)Cl2] or through ligand exchange using [M(diene)Cl2] precursor complexes with diene = 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) or 1,5-hexadiene (hex). Alternatively, [M(dppX)Cl(R)] complexes with dppX = dppm (1,1-bis(diphenylphosphano)methane), dppe, dppp (1,3-bis(diphenylphosphano)propane), and dppb (1,4-bis(diphenylphosphano)butane) were prepared in decarboxylation reactions from thallium(i) carboxylates Tl(O2CR). The different preparative methods were compared in terms of yield and purity. Structural and spectroscopic data are reported for the new dppX- and diene-M(R)2 complexes. Antiproliferative activity was investigated for these new complexes against the HT-29 (colon carcinoma) and MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) cell lines, and the active compounds of this first series together with organometallic dppX or hex PtII or PdII complexes were then included in cell tests using L1210 (leukaemia cells) and the cisplatin-resistant L1210/DDP cell line. Remarkably, promising antiproliferative results were found for a few PtII and PdII complexes, while structurally closely related compounds were essentially nontoxic.

Abstract
Background In order to obtain better clinical results in anticancer therapies, polychemotherapy or combination therapies are used. For this, the combinations are required to increase the efficacy and reduce the adverse reactions of the associated chemotherapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic, apoptotic and (anti)proliferative potential of two sesquiterpene lactones isolated from Moquiniastrum polymorphum, 11,13-diidrozaluzanin C (1) and gochnatiolide C (2), and their associations with chemotherapeutic agents irinotecan, tamoxifen, cisplatin, 5-fluouracyl and doxorubicin in the tumoral lineage of MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma. Methods The analyses were performed by MTT cytotoxicity assays, drug combination index (CI), apoptosis morphological assay and cell proliferation assay. Treatments were evaluated with short exposure times (4 h), followed or not by recovery in drug-free medium for 24 h. For the cell viability assay the statistical analysis was performed using software INSTAT, and the ANOVA/Tukey test was applied. Combination Indices (CI) was made using CompuSyn software and demonstrated through isoboles. The assays that evaluated cell death and proliferation used statistical analysis SAS 9.4 (Statistical Analysis System), and the procedure adopted was PROC NPAR1WAY. The Wilcoxon test at 5% level was applied for comparing statistical differences. Results The results demonstrated that the compounds decrease cell viability and increase their action when associated with irinotecan, tamoxifen and doxorubicin (CI < 1 and CI = 1). In periods of 4 h-exposure, the compounds cause cell death by apoptosis and after 24 h, they increase the mean number of cells in programmed cell death, especially when treated with 2. In addition, the association with doxorubicin increases the apoptotic potential induced by tested compounds. Both isolates had effect on the reduction of the number of mitoses, especially when 2 at its highest concentration is associated with doxorubicin. Conclusions Finally, these compounds are presented as potential agents in chemotherapy combined with doxorubicin, since they trigger the mechanism of apoptosis, which, through the mechanism of action of sesquiterpene lactones, leads to a reduction in toxicity. In addition, the tested compounds have the ability to exert a synergistic action with doxorubicin, possibly by down-regulating the drug resistance mechanisms.
