J Inorg Biochem 2022; 236:111964. [PMID: 36027842 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2022.111964] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
The α-N-Heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes have been widely investigated as anticancer and antibacterial agents for their broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. Thus, two thiosemicarbazone-based Cu(II) complexes, [Cu2(ptpc)I2] (1) and [Cu(qtpc)I] (2) with thiosemicarbazone ligand (ptpc = 2-(di(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)-N-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, qtpc = 2-(quinolin-8-ylmethylene)-N-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide) were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. Complexes 1 and 2 are superior to cisplatin in vitro antiproliferative activities toward hepatocellular carcinoma cell line with the half maximal inhibitory concentration value of 0.2 and 2 μM, respectively. A series of spectroscopic assays and the DNA cleavage experiments showed that both complexes can change and distort the conformation of DNA. Molecular docking experiment further demonstrated that complex 1 binds to DNA mainly in groove mode. Meanwhile, benefiting from their good liposolubility, complexes 1 and 2 could easily enter cells, which further triggers cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, complexes 1 and 2 caused serious mitochondrial damage, associating with increased the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+, decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), and transformed mitochondrial morphology. These findings indicated that complexes 1 and 2 might exert their anticancer activity by inducing DNA and mitochondrial damage simultaneously.

Abstract
MnO2-CuO-Fe2O3/CNTs catalysts, as a low-dimensional material, were fabricated by a mild redox strategy and used in denitration reactions. A formation mechanism of the catalysts was proposed. NO conversions of 4% MnO2-CuO-Fe2O3/CNTs catalyst of 43.1-87.9% at 80-180 °C were achieved, which was ascribed to the generation of amorphous MnO2, CuO and Fe2O3, and a high surface-oxygen (Os) content.
