Abstract
The novel synthetic amino acid-like zwitterion containing imine bond ionic compound 2-[(E)-(2-carboxy benzylidene) amino] ethan ammonium salt, C10H12N2O2, was synthesized. Computational functional characterization is now being used to predict novel compounds. Here, we report on a titled combination that has been crystallizing in orthorhombic space group Pcc2 with Z = 4. The zwitterions form centrosymmetric dimers to polymeric supramolecular network via intermolecular N-H… O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate groups and ammonium ion. The components are linked by ionic (N+-H-O-) and hydrogen bonds (N+-H-O), forming a complex three-dimensional supramolecular network. Further, molecular computational docking characterization study was performed with compound against multi-disease drug target biomolecule of anticancer target molecule of HDAC8 (PDB ID 1T69) receptor and antiviral molecular target protease (PDB ID 6LU7) to evaluate the interaction stability, conformational changes and to get insights into the natural dynamics on different timescales in solution. HighlightsThe novel zwitter ionic amino acid compound 2-[(E)-(2-carboxybenzylidene) amino] ethan ammonium salt, C10H12N2O2.The crystal structure determined for this compound illustrates the presence of intermolecular ionic N+-H-O- and N+-H-O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate groups and ammonium ion, which influence the formation of a complex three-dimensional supramolecular polymeric network.Molecular docking studies helps to understand the conformational stability and interaction stabilityThe novel molecule can be considered for anticancer treatment.

Abstract
Heteroleptic metal complexes containing CuII, CoII, and ZnII, incorporating curcumin and a Schiff base ligand (L), were synthesized and characterized, and their antifungal activity was evaluated. Their antifungal activities were investigated individually and in combination with fluconazole. Utilizing various analytical techniques such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, NMR, ESI-MS, TGA-DTG, elemental analyses, conductance, and magnetic susceptibility measurements, complex C1 ([Cu(Cur)LCl(H2O)]) was assigned a distorted octahedral geometry, while complexes C2 ([Co(Cur)LCl(H2O)]) and C3 ([Zn(Cur)LCl(H2O)]) were assigned octahedral geometries. Among these complexes, C2 exhibited the highest inhibitory activity against both FLC-susceptible and resistant strains of Candida albicans. Furthermore, C2 demonstrated candidicidal activity and synergistic interactions with fluconazole, effectively inhibiting the growth and survival of both FLC-resistant and FLC-sensitive C. albicans strains. The complex displayed a dose-dependent inhibition of drug efflux pumps in FLC-resistant C. albicans strains, indicating its potential to disrupt the cell membrane of these strains. The significant role of membrane efflux transporters in the development of antifungal drug resistance within Candida species has been extensively documented and our findings indicate that complex C2 specifically targets this crucial factor, thereby playing a pivotal role in mitigating drug resistance in C. albicans.

Abstract
A thiophene-derived Schiff base ligand (E)-2-morpholino-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)ethanamine was used for the synthesis of M(II) complexes, [TEM(M)X2] (M = Co, Cu, Zn; X = Cl; M = Cd, X = Br). Structural characterization of the synthesized complexes revealed distorted tetrahedral geometry around the M(II) center. In vitro investigation of the synthesized ligand and its M(II) complexes showed considerable anti-urease and leishmanicidal potential. The synthesized complexes also exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on urease, with IC50 values in the range of 3.50-8.05 μM. In addition, the docking results were consistent with the experimental results. A preliminary study of human colorectal cancer (HCT), hepatic cancer (HepG2), and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines showed marked anticancer activities of these complexes.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is currently a global health emergency. Metallodrugs, especially metal coordination complexes, comprise a broad variety of candidates to combat antibacterial infections. In this work, we designed a new family of Schiff base zinc(II) complexes with iminopyridine as an organic ligand and different inorganic ligands: chloride, nitrate, and acetate. The antibacterial effect of the Zn(II) complexes was studied against planktonic bacterial cells of Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) and Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) strains. The results showed a moderate biocide activity in both types of planktonic bacteria, which arises from the metal complexation to the Schiff base ligand. Importantly, we confirmed the crucial effect of the metal, with Zn(II) improving the activity of Cu(II) counterparts previously reported. On the other hand, the impact of the inorganic ligands was not significant for the antibacterial effect but was relevant for the complex solubility. Finally, as proof of concept of topical antibacterial formulation, we formulated an emulsion containing the most lipophilic Zn(II) complex and confirmed a sustained release for 24 h in a vertical cell diffusion assay. The promising activity of iminopyridine Zn(II) complexes is potentially worth exploring in more detailed studies.

Abstract
Two new compounds namely [Zn(L1)phen]31 and Ni(L1)phen(MeOH) 2 (L1 = 3, 5-dichlorosalicylaldehyde thiosemicarbazone) were synthesized by the slow evaporation method at room temperature. The structure of ligand L1 was determined using 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis revealed that compounds 1-2 can form 3D supramolecular network structures through π···π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions. The DFT calculation shows that the coordination of ligand and metal is in good agreement with the experimental results. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that H…H and Cl…H interactions were the predominant interactions in compounds 1-2. Energy framework analysis indicated that dispersion energy played a dominant role in the energy composition of compounds 1-2. The inhibitory effects of compounds 1-2 against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were tested using the paper disk diffusion method (1: E. coli: 18 mm, MRSA: 17 mm, 2: E. coli: 15 mm, MRSA: 16 mm). Ion releasing experiments were conducted to assess the ion release capacity of compounds 1-2 (Zn2+, 4 days, 38.33 µg/mL; Ni2+, 4 days, 29.12 µg/mL). Molecular docking demonstrated the interaction modes of compounds 1-2 with UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvoylglucosamine reductase (MurB) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in bacteria, involving hydrophobic, stacking, hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding interactions. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in bacteria under the presence of compounds 1-2 were evaluated using a fluorescent dye known as dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). Potential antibacterial mechanisms of compounds 1-2 were proposed.

Abstract
Nowadays, bacterial multidrug resistance has become a commonplace problem in clinics due to several intrinsic factors mediated through resistance to antibacterials obtained via bacterial consortia and extrinsic factors, such as non-uniform antibacterial policy and migration of resistant bacteria through human and other routes. The development of newer, effective anti-mycobacterial candidate(s) is coveted by clinics. Hybrid molecules would be comparatively more emulating against invasive bacterial strains; nevertheless, newer antibiotics are continually added. Herein, designing and developments of two series of Schiff-based salicylaldehyde S1-S7 and furfuraldehyde F1-F7 molecules individually bearing sulfonamide group are described; and those were synthesized and their structures by spectral characterization were confirmed. Concomitantly, molecule dynamic simulations of all atoms had been performed to fathom the mechanism of the action with these leading complexes. These data imply that the synthesized Schiff-based salicylaldehyde hybrids would be promising anti-tubercular compounds, which further need potent pharmacological evaluations.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Most heavy metals are harmful to human health and the environment, even at extremely low concentrations. In natural waters, they are usually found only in trace amounts. Researchers are paying great attention to nanotechnology and nanomaterials as viable solutions to the problem of water pollution. This research focuses on the synthesis of organic thiophene derivatives that can be used as grafted ligands on the surface of silica-coated iron oxide nanoparticles to remove Cr(VI) chromium ions from water. The Vilsmeier-Haack reaction allows the formation of aldehyde groups in thiophene derivatives, and the resulting products were characterized by the FT-IR, NMR, and GC-MS. Schiff base is used as a binder between organic compounds and nanoparticles by the reaction of aldehyde groups in thiophene derivatives and amine groups on the surface of coated iron oxide nanoparticles. Schiff base functionalized Fe3O4 composites (MNPs@SiO2-SB-THCA) and (MNPs@SiO2-SB-THCTA) were successfully synthesized by homogeneous and heterogeneous methods and characterized by a combination of FT-IR, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The adsorption studies, kinetic modeling, adsorption isotherms, and thermodynamics of the two materials, MNPs@SiO2-SB-THCA and MNPs@SiO2-SB-THCTA, were investigated for the removal of Cr(VI) from water at room temperature and at 50 mg/L. The high adsorption capacity at pH 6 for MNPs@SiO2-SB-THCTA was 15.53 mg/g, and for MNPs@SiO2-SB-THCA, it was 14.31 mg/g.

Abstract
In an effort to develop new potent anticancer agents, two Schiff base rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes, containing the ubiquitous aminoquinoline scaffold, were synthesized. Both aminoquinoline ligands and Re(I) complexes showed adequate stability over a 48-h incubation period. Furthermore, the cytotoxic activity of the precursor ligands and rhenium(I) complexes were evaluated against the hormone-dependent MCF-7 and hormone-independent triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Inclusion of the [Re(CO)3Cl]+ entity significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of the aminoquinoline Schiff base ligands against the tested cancer cell lines. Remarkably, the incorporation of the Schiff-base iminoquinolyl entity notably enhanced the cytotoxic activity of the Re(I) complexes, in comparison with the iminopyridyl entity. Notably, the quinolyl-substituted complex showed up to three-fold higher activity than cisplatin against breast cancer cell lines, underpinning the significance of the quinoline pharmacophore in rational drug design. In addition, the most active Re(I) complex showed better selectivity towards the breast cancer cells over non-tumorigenic FG-0 cells. Western blotting revealed that the complexes increased levels of γH2AX, a key DNA damage response protein. Moreover, apoptosis was confirmed in both cell lines due to the detection of cleaved PARP. The complexes show favourable binding affinities towards both calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA), and bovine serum albumin (BSA), and the order of their interactions align with their cytotoxic effects. The in silico molecular simulations of the complexes were also performed with CT-DNA and BSA targets.

Abstract
Organometallic drug development is still in its early stage, but recent studies show that organometallics having iron as the central atom have the possibility of becoming good drug candidates because iron is an important micro-nutrient, and it is compatible with many biological systems, including the human body. Being an eco-friendly Lewis acid, iron can accept the lone pair of electrons from imino(sp2)-nitrogen, and the resultant iron-imine complexes with iron as a central atom have the possibility of interacting with several proteins and enzymes in humans. Iron-imine complexes have demonstrated significant potential with anticancer, bactericidal, fungicidal, and other medicinal activities in recent years. This article systematically discusses major synthetic methods and pharmacological potentials of iron-imine complexes having in vitro activity to significant clinical performance from 2016 to date. In a nutshell, this manuscript offers a simplistic view of iron complexes in medicinal inorganic chemistry: for instance, iron is presented as an "eco-friendly non-toxic" metal (as opposed to platinum) that will lead to non-toxic pharmaceuticals. The abundant literature on iron chelators shows that many iron complexes, particularly if redox-active in cells, can be quite cytotoxic, which can be beneficial for future targeted therapies. While we made every effort to include all the related papers, any omission is purely unintentional.

Abstract
Schiff bases are one of the important classes of organic compounds containing imine or azomethine functional groups with potential biological applications in medicinal chemistry. Nowadays, these compounds have attracted the scientific community's attention due to their ability to act as ligands in the formation of stable metal complexes with significant biological activity. In this connection, we have designed and synthesized six novel thiophene-based organoltellurium (IV) complexes using a novel N-((5-methylthiophen-2-yl) methylene)-2-nitroaniline (5MTCONA) schiff base. These complexes underwent analytical investigation (TGA, Powder XRD, SEM, EDAX) as well as spectral analysis (FT-IR, NMR, Mass spectrometry, UV-Vis). The in-vitro pharmacological evaluation of these compounds has been carried out as antimicrobial and antioxidant agents. To further corroborate our findings, we have implemented computational analyses (Semi empirical PM3 method, Molecular Docking, and ADMET) of all the compounds with Spartan-14, Hex-8.0., Swiss ADME software. Precisely, our study integrates experimental and theoretical aspects, offering innovative insights in the field of pharmaceutical sciences.

Abstract
As an inherent metal ion, copper has been the subject of investigation for developing a novel antitumoral compound that exhibits fewer adverse effects. Copper serves as a cofactor in multiple enzymes, generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), facilitates tumour evolution, metastasis and angiogenesis and has been detected at elevated concentrations in the serum and tissues of various human cancer types. In the given setting, utilising two methodologies in developing novel Copper-based pharmaceuticals for anti-cancer applications is standard practice. These approaches involve either the sequestration of unbound Copper ions or the synthesis of Copper complexes that induce cellular apoptosis. In the past four decades, the latter system has been used, leading to numerous reviews that have examined the anticancer characteristics of a wide range of Copper complexes. These analyses have consistently demonstrated that multiple factors frequently influence the efficacy of these compounds. This review examines the possible anticancer properties of copper and Cu(II) complexes that incorporate Schiff base ligands containing 1,10-phenanthroline. The present study will comprehensively analyse the examined cell lines and mechanistic research associated with each complex.

Abstract
Due to the versatile bioreactivity of aroyldihydrazone complexes as cost-effective alternatives with different transition metals, two novel bimetallic homo-complexes (VOLph and CuLph) were prepared via the coordination of a terephthalic dihydrazone diisatin ligand (H2Lph) with VO2+ and Cu2+ ions, respectively. The structure elucidation was confirmed by alternative spectral methods. Biologically, the H2Lph ligand and its MLph complexes (M2+ = VO2+ or Cu2+) were investigated as antimicrobial and anticancer agents. Their biochemical activities towards ctDNA (calf thymus DNA) were estimated using measurable titration viscometrically and spectrophotometrically, as well as the gel electrophoresis technique. The growth inhibition of both VOLph and CuLph complexes against microbial and cancer cells was measured, and the inhibition action, MIC, and IC50 were compared to the inhibition action of the free H2Lph ligand. Both VOLph and CuLph showed remarkable interactive binding with ctDNA compared to the free ligand H2Lph, based on Kb = 16.31, 16.04 and 12.41 × 107 mol-1 dm3 and ΔGb≠ = 47.11, -46.89, and -44.05 kJ mol-1 for VOLph, CuLph, and H2Lph, respectively, due to the central metal ion (VIVO and CuII ions). VOLph (with a higher oxidation state of the V4+ ion and oxo-ligand) exhibited enhanced interaction with the ctDNA molecule compared to CuLph, demonstrating the role and type of the central metal ion within the performed electronegative and electrophilic characters.

Abstract
In this work, three titanium(IV) [TiIV(L1-3)2] (1-3) complexes have been reported using three different tridentate dibasic ONO donor hydrazone ligands, pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-hydrazide (H2L1), furan-2-carboxylic acid (3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-hydrazide (H2L2), and thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-hydrazide (H2L3) tethered with heterocyclic moieties. Elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-vis, NMR, HR-ESI-MS, and single-crystal X-ray analysis have been used to characterize H2L1-3 and 1-3. In solid structures of 1-3, two ligand molecules with N2O4 donor sets give distorted octahedral geometries to the metal center. The aqueous stability of 1-3 was investigated and well correlated to their perceived pharmacological results. During the investigation, all three complexes were found to be hydrolytically stable in a 90% DMSO-d6/10% D2O (v/v) medium up to 48 h. Furthermore, the interaction of 1-3 with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was tested using fluorescence and absorption techniques. The complexes showed static quenching with a biomolecular quenching constant of Kq ∼ 1013 proposing a high affinity of complexes for BSA. Finally, the anticancer potential of 1-3 was tested against HeLa, A549, and NIH-3T3 cell lines. Among all, 1 with an IC50 value of 11.6 ± 1.1 μM against HeLa cells was found to be the most cytotoxic in the series. Furthermore, it has been found that the compounds induce an apoptotic mode of cell death, which is confirmed by the live cell confocal microscopy and flow cytometry techniques.

Abstract
Two bis-(imidazolium-vanillylidene)-(R,R)-diaminocyclohexane ligands (H2(VAN)2dach, H2L1,2) and their Pd(II) complexes (PdL1 and PdL2) were successfully synthesized and structurally characterized using microanalytical and spectral methods. Subsequently, to target the development of new effective and safe anti-breast cancer chemotherapeutic agents, these complexes were encapsulated by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to formulate (PdL1LNP and PdL2LNP), which are physicochemically and morphologically characterized. PdL1LNP and PdL2LNP significantly cause DNA fragmentation in MCF-7 cells, while trastuzumab has a 10% damaging activity. Additionally, the encapsulated Pd1,2LNPs complexes activated the apoptotic mechanisms through the upregulated P53 with p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively. The apoptotic activity may be triggered through the activity mechanism of the Pd1,2LNPs in the inhibitory actions against the FGFR2/FGF2 axis on the gene level with p < 0.001 and the Her2/neu with p < 0.05 and p < 0.01. All these aspects have triggered the activity of the PdL1LNP and PdL2LNP to downregulate TGFβ1 by p < 0.01 for both complexes. In conclusion, LNP-encapsulated Pd(II) complexes can be employed as anti-cancer drugs with additional benefits in regulating the signal mechanisms of the apoptotic mechanisms among breast cancer cells with chemotherapeutic-safe actions.

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
Curcumin-nicotinoyl (Cur-Nic) was synthesized by the chemical modification of the curcumin structure, characterized, and used as a ligand for the synthesis of copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes. The biological activities of Cur-Nic and its metal complexes were predicted using the PASS and Swiss Target Prediction online software, respectively, and docking studies with tyrosine-protein kinase SRC were performed using the PyRx software to predict their anticancer activities. The toxicity effects of the complexes on a human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) compared to a healthy breast cell line (MCF-10A) were investigated by the MTS assay. Although the metal complexes maintained the least toxicity against normal cells, the results indicated that compared to curcumin and Cur-Nic, the cytotoxicity toward cancer cells increased due to the complexation process. Moreover, the antibacterial evaluation of the compounds against a Gram-positive bacterium (MRSA) and a Gram-negative bacterium (E. coli) indicated that the Cu(II) complex and Cur-Nic were the best, respectively. Also, the Zn(II) complex was the most stable compound, and the Cu(II) complex was the best ROS scavenger based on the in vitro evaluation.

Abstract
Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivatives bearing imine groups (3a-e) were successfully synthesized in moderate to good yields using microwave-assisted heating. Corresponding amine derivatives (4a-e) were also obtained by the reduction reaction of the imine derivatives (3a-e). All synthesized products were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and LC-MS spectroscopic techniques. In silico ADMET, Lipinski, and drug-likeness studies of the compounds were conducted and all were found to be suitable drug candidates. The cytotoxicity of the potential drug molecules was screened against the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 and the healthy model HUVEC by the sulforhodamine B method. According to the antiproliferative studies, compounds 3d and 4d showed remarkable inhibition of MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 43.4 and 39.0 μM and of MDA-MB-231 cells with IC50 values of 35.9 and 35.1 μM, respectively. In particular, compound 3d selectively inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 1.6-fold and MDA-MB-231 2.0-fold relative to healthy cells. Moreover, the apoptotic mechanism studies indicated that compound 4d induced apoptosis by moderately increasing the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 genes. Imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidine derivative 3d, a promising cytotoxic agent, may be helpful in the discovery of new and more efficient anticancer agents for breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
In this work, we report a distorted square pyramidal mononuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(L)(NCS)] (1) which was obtained by the reaction of the aqueous solution of ammonium thiocyanate to a methanolic solution of copper nitrate trihydrate and corresponding Schiff-base ligands. Schiff bases, HL (C12H19N3O) act as a tetradentate Schiff base, derived from 1:1 condensation of o-hydroxyacetophenone and diethylenetriamine. The synthesized complex has been successfully characterized based on elemental analysis and Infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The structure of complex 1 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. In our study, we investigated synthesis, structural characterization, antimicrobial, anti-biofilm, and anti-cancer activity, and plausible mechanism of action of a novel mononuclear copper(II) schiff base complex. Increasing microbial resistance to several commercially available or traditional antimicrobial compounds has become a major global health concern at present time. The mononuclear copper(II) complex exhibited potential antibacterial activity against two strains of the gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The copper compound dependent damage of bacterial cell membrane and inhibition of bacterial biofilm formation were also identified. Moreover, complex 1 inhibited prostate cancer cell growth, and migration by inducing apoptosis and arresting the cell cycle at the G2/M phase. Based on the results, we are suggesting our novel mononuclear copper(II) compound as a potential candidate for the development of new antibacterial and anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
A novel class of bioactive complexes (1-3) [MII(L)2(bpy)], where, L = 2-(4-morpholinobenzylideneamino)phenol, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, MII = Mn (1), Co (2) or Ni (3), were assigned to octahedral geometry based on analytical and spectral measurements. Gel electrophoresis showed that complex (2) demonstrated significant DNA cleavage activity compared to the other complexes under the action of oxidation agent (H2O2). The DNA binding constant properties measured by various techniques were in the following sequence: (2) > (3) > (1) > (HL), which suggests that the complexes might intercalate DNA, a possibility that is also supported by their biothermodynamic characteristics. The binding constant results for BSA from electronic absorption and fluorometric titrations demonstrate that complex (2) exhibits the highest binding effectiveness among them all, which means that all the compounds could interact with BSA through a static approach, additionally supported by FRET measurements. DFT and docking calculations were employed to realize the electronic structure, reactivity, and interaction capability of all substances with DNA, BSA, and the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. These binding energies fell within the ranges -7.7 to -8.5, -8.2 to -10.1 and -6.7 to -9.3 kcal mol-1, respectively. The higher reactivity of the complexes than the ligand is supported by FMO theory. The in vitro antibacterial, cytotoxicity, and radical scavenging characteristics revealed that complexes (2-3) have better biological efficacy than the others. The cytotoxicity and binding properties also show good correlation with the partition coefficient (log P), which is encouraging because all of the experimental findings are closely correlated with the theoretical measurements.

Abstract
Although chemotherapy has increased the life expectancy of cancer patients, its toxic side effects remain a major challenge. Recently, organometallic compounds, such as Schiff base copper complexes, have become promising candidates for next-generation anticancer drugs owing to their unique anticancer activities. In this study, binuclear copper(II) complex-1 and mononuclear copper(II) complex-2 were examined to analyze their anticancer mechanisms further. For this purpose, a viability test, flow cytometry analysis of apoptosis and the cell cycle, migration assay, and gene expression analysis were performed. According to our results, complex-1 was more cytotoxic than complex-2 at 24/48-h intervals. Our findings also demonstrated that both complexes induced apoptosis at IC50 concentrations and arrested the cell cycle at the G1-S checkpoint. However, complex-1 accelerates cell cycle arrest at the sub-G0/G1 phase more than complex-2 does. Furthermore, gene expression analysis showed that only complex-1 induces the expression of p53. Interestingly, both complexes induced Bcl-2 overexpression. However, they did not affect MMP-13 expression. More interestingly, both complexes inhibited cell migration in different ways, including amoeboid and collective, by recruiting protease-independent pathways. This study confirmed that adding several metal cores and co-ligands increased the activity of the complex. It also appeared that Cu-containing complexes could prevent the migration of cancer cells through protease-independent pathways, which can be used for novel therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
A new Schiff base, 4-((1E,2E)-3-(furan-2-yl)allylidene)amino)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl) benzene-sulfonamide (L), was synthesized by thermal condensation of 3-(2-furyl)acrolein and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and the furan Schiff base (L) was converted to a phenol Schiff base (L') according to the Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction and studied experimentally. The structural and spectroscopic properties of the Schiff base were also corroborated by utilizing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Furthermore, a series of lanthanide and transition metal complexes of the Schiff base were synthesized from the nitrate salts of Gd, Sm, Nd, and Zn (L1, L2, L3, and L4), respectively. Various spectroscopic studies confirmed the chemical structures of the Schiff-base ligand and its complexes. Based on the spectral studies, a nine-coordinated geometry was assigned to the lanthanide complexes and a six-coordinated geometry to the zinc complex. The elemental analysis data confirmed the suggested structure of the metal complexes, and the TGA studies confirmed the presence of one coordinated water molecule in the lanthanide complexes and one crystalline water molecule in the zinc complex; in addition, the conductivity showed the neutral nature of the complexes. Therefore, it is suggested that the ligand acts as a bidentate through coordinates to each metal atom by the isoxazole nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the sulfur dioxide moiety of the SMX based on FTIR studies. The ligand and its complexes were tested for their anti-inflammatory, anti-hemolytic, and antioxidant activities by various colorimetric methods. These complexes were found to exhibit potential effects of the selected biological activities.

Abstract
In this study were synthesized non-Michael acceptor cyclopentenones (CP) from biomass derivative furfural as anticancer agents. Cyclic enones, both from natural sources and synthetic analogues, have been described as cytotoxic agents. Most of these agents were unsuccessful in becoming valuable therapeutic agents due to toxicity problems derived from unselective critical biomacromolecule alkylation. This may be caused by Michael addition to the enone system. Ab initio studies revealed that 2,4-substituted CPs are less prone to Michael additions, and as such were tested three families of those derivatives. We prepare the new CPs from furfural through a tandem furan ring opening/Nazarov electrocyclization and further functionalization. Experimentally the 2,4-substituted CPs exhibited no reactivity towards sulphur nucleophiles, while maintaining cytotoxicity against HT-29, MCF-7, NCI-H460, HCT-116 and MDA-MB 231 cells lines. Moreover, the selected CP are non-toxic against healthy HEK 293T cell lines and present proper calculated drug-like properties.

Abstract
Since the last decade, research on quinoline Schiff base metal complexes has risen substantially due to their versatile applications across many significant fields. Schiff bases are also known as azomethines, aldimines, and imines. Quinoline Schiff base-derived metal complexes are intriguing to study topics. These complexes are employed in biological, analytical, and catalytic fields. Researchers have found that Schiff bases are more biologically active when coordinated with metal ions. Research in the biological sciences has shown that heterocyclic compounds like quinoline and its derivatives are important. Because of their broad spectrum of activity, quinoline derivatives have been discovered to be effective therapeutic agents for various disorders. Even though various classical synthetic pathways mentioned in the literature are still in use, there is an urgent need for a new, more effective method that is safer for the environment, has a higher yield, generates less hazardous waste, and is easier to use. This highlights the critical need for a safe, eco-friendly approach to quinoline scaffold synthesis. This review focuses exclusively on Schiff base metal complexes derived from quinoline, fabricated and studied in the past ten years, and having anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antiproliferative, DNA-intercalation, and cytotoxic activities.

Abstract
Novel thiophene-derived Schiff base ligand DE, where DE is (E)-N1,N1-diethyl-N2-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)ethane-1,2-diamine, and the corresponding M(II) complexes, [M(DE)X2] (M = Cu or Zn, X = Cl; M = Cd, X = Br), were prepared and structurally characterized. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the geometry around the center of the M(II) complexes, [Zn(DE)Cl2] and [Cd(DE)Br2], could be best described as a distorted tetrahedral. In vitro antimicrobial screening of DE and its corresponding M(II) complexes, [M(DE)X2], was performed. The complexes were more potent and showed higher activities against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, fungi Candida albicans, and protozoa Leishmania major compared to the ligand. Among the studied complexes, [Cd(DE)Br2] exhibited the most promising antimicrobial activity against all the tested microbes compared to its analogs. These results were further supported by molecular docking studies. We believe that these complexes may significantly contribute to the efficient designing of metal-derived agents to treat microbial infections.

Abstract
A new Zn(II)-based coordination polymer (1) comprising the Schiff base ligand obtained by the condensation of 5-aminosalicylic acid and salicylaldehyde has been synthesized. This newly synthesized compound has been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods, and finally, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique in this study. The X-ray analysis reveals a distorted tetrahedral environment around the central Zn(II) center. This compound has been used as a sensitive and selective fluorescent sensor for acetone and Ag+ cations. The photoluminescence measurements indicate that in the presence of acetone, the emission intensity of 1 displays quenching at room temperature. However, other organic solvents caused meagre changes in the emission intensity of 1. Additionally, the fluorescence intensity of 1 has been examined in the presence of different ketones viz. cyclohexanone, 4-heptanone, and 5-nonanone, to assess the interaction between the C=O group of the ketones and the molecular framework of 1. Moreover, 1 displays a selective recognition of Ag+ in the aqueous medium by an enhancement in its fluorescence intensity, representing its high sensitivity for the detection of Ag+ ions in a water sample. Additionally, 1 displays the selective adsorption of cationic dyes (methylene blue and rhodamine B). Hence, 1 showcases its potential as an excellent luminescent probe to detect acetone, other ketones, and Ag+ with an exceptional selectivity, and displaying a selective adsorption of cationic dye molecules.

Abstract
Two silver(I) complexes of composition [Ag2(L)2] (1) and [Ag(L)(PPh3)2](2) (HL = dibenzoyl- methane, PPh3 = triphenylphosphine) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR, XRPD, and UV-visible spectra. The molecular structures of the studied ligands and Ag(I) complexes have been characterized using Density Function Theory (DFT) calculations. This analysis has enabled us to determine the reactivity and the coordination site(s) for each ligand. Ag(I) ion is found to be coordinated with the ligand's oxygens in almost a linear fashion in complex (1), while in complex (2) it adopts a tetrahedral geometry. The interaction compounds with biomolecules; calf thymus (ct DNA), yeast-tRNA, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated using both absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The in vitro cytotoxic studies of the complexes against normal human lung fibroblast (WI38), cancerous breast (MDA-MB-231), mammary gland breast (MCF7), hepatocellular (HePG2), and prostate (PC3) cell lines indicated that the complexes are highly toxic to the cancer cells but less toxic towards the normal one when compared with the ligand. Flow cytometric results showed that complex (1) induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase, and complex (2) at G2/M and S phases. Moreover, the results of apoptotic genes (caspase3 and p53) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl2) led us to suggest an apoptotic killing mechanism of cells rather than a necrotic one.

Schiff bases as linker in the development of quinoline-sulfonamide hybrids as selective cancer-associated carbonic anhydrase isoforms IX/XII inhibitors: A new regioisomerism tactic. Bioorg Chem 2023; 131:106309.

Abstract
A novel set of quinoline tailored with the sulfonamide as zinc-binding group (ZBG) has been rationalized and synthesized as carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) inhibitors. Such hybrids were decorated by a novel elongated imine linker with/without ethylene spacer with variable hydrophobic and lipophilic pockets. Therefore, a regioisomeric tactic has been established, most of which act as efficient inhibitors of the tumor-associated CA isoforms IX and XII. Interestingly, one hybrid 10b displayed an appreciable activity in MCF-7 cell line under normoxic condition (IC50 of 8.42 µM) in comparison to the standard staurosporine (IC50 = 5.34 µM) and excellent activity under hypoxic conditions (IC50 = 1.56 µM) in comparison to staurosporine (IC50 = 4.45 µM). Furthermore, hybrids 8a and 10b encouraged MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell apoptosis alongside promising Bax/Bcl expression ratio change. Docking studies were also, performed and agreed with the biological results. Our SAR study suggested that our regiosiomerization tactic for the quinoline based-sulfonamide molecules led to effective inhibition of tumuor-relevant hCAs IX/XII.

Antioxidant and Anticancer Potential of the New Cu(II) Complexes Bearing Imine-Phenolate Ligands with Pendant Amine N-Donor Groups. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020376. [PMID: 36839698 PMCID: PMC9960331 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Cu(II) complexes bearing NNO-donor Schiff base ligands (2a, b) have been synthesized and characterized. The single crystal X-ray analysis of the 2a complex revealed that a mononuclear and a dinuclear complex co-crystallize in the solid state. The electronic structures of the complexes are optimized by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The monomeric nature of 2a and 2b species is maintained in solution. Antioxidant activities of the ligands (1a, b) and Cu(II) complexes (2a, b) were determined by in vitro assays such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radicals (DPPH.) and 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals (ABTS+). Our results demonstrated that 2a showed better antioxidant activity. MTT assays were performed to assess the toxicity of ligands and Cu(II) complexes in V79 cells. The antiproliferative activity of compounds was tested against two human tumor cell lines: MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) and SW620 (colorectal carcinoma) and on MRC-5 (normal lung fibroblast). All compounds showed high cytotoxicity in the all-cell lines but showed no selectivity for tumor cell lines. Antiproliferative activity by clonogenic assay 2b showed a more significant inhibitory effect on the MCF-7 cell lines than on MRC-5. DNA damage for the 2b compound at 10 µM concentration was about three times higher in MCF-7 cells than in MRC-5 cells.

Abstract
A series of novel hydrazone compounds have been synthesized by the condensation of hydrazines and different substituted salicylaldehydes at a molar ratio of 1:1 in one step reaction and characterized by FT-IR, ESI-MS, 1H NMR, and single crystal x-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the compound shows a trans configuration around the C = N bond and triclinic system with P -1/-p 1. Synthesized compounds were screened for cytotoxicity activities against A375 (melanoma), HT-29 (Colon), and A549 (lung) cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 2 exhibited the highest cytotoxic effect against the A375 cell line (IC50 = 0.30 µM) and HT-29 cell line (1.68 µM), compared to those of apatinib as a reference standard drug (0.28, 1.49 µM, respectively). The cytocompatibility assay on the L929 normal cell line and the hemolysis assay on human RBC were used to validate the non-toxic action. From DFT calculation, the various parameters such as HOMO-LUMO energies, Hirshfeld, and MEP have been studied. Furthermore, in silico molecular docking with three receptors was studied. Among four compounds, compound 2 has the lowest binding energy against cyclin dependent kinase (ΔGb = -9.3 kcal/mol). In addition to this, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was also performed. Based on this study, these novel hydrazones can be considered a promising anticancer agent due to their potent cytotoxicity activities and computational analysis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
We have synthesized and characterized nine Ag(I) complexes of Schiff bases containing thiophene, furan, and pyridine moieties for in vitro antibacterial, antioxidant, anticancer activities, and DNA/bovine serum albumin (BSA) binding studies. Based on the analytical and spectral analyses, a linear geometry was proposed for all the Ag(I) complexes, except for one (with the furan moiety), which formed a distorted T-shaped geometry. UV-vis absorption studies on the interactions of calf thymus-DNA (CT-DNA) with the nine Ag(I) complexes pointed to an intercalative binding mode. With a binding constant Kb of 3.75 × 105 M-1 , the complex bearing a benzothiazole moiety (1) interacted stronger with CT-DNA than the rest of the complexes. Fluorescence spectroscopic data revealed that the complexes had a modest binding affinity for BSA through static quenching. The complexes displayed good antioxidant properties, especially those with a benzothiazole moiety. Notable antibacterial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae were observed for complexes with the furan and thiophene moieties. The in vitro anticancer studies of selected complexes against three cancer cell lines showed that the complexes were more effective against the inhibition of the growth of cervical cancer cells relative to cisplatin.

Abstract
Due to the growing prevalence of cancer diseases, new therapeutic options are urgently needed, and drugs based on metal ions other than platinum are alternatives with exciting possibilities. We report the synthesis, characterization and biological effect of mixed-ligand Fe(III)-aminophenolate complexes derived from salicylaldehyde and L-tryptophan with quinoline derivatives as co-ligands, namely 8-hydroxyquinoline (8HQ), [Fe(L)(8HQ)(H2O)] (1) and its 5-cloro derivative (Cl8HQ), [Fe(L)(Cl8HQ)(H2O)] (2). The complex bearing the aminophenolate and lacking the quinoline co-ligand, [Fe(L)(Cl)(H2O)2] (3), was prepared for comparison. The analytical and spectroscopic characterization revealed that 1 and 2 are octahedral Fe(III) complexes with the aminophenolate acting as a dianionic tridentate ligand and 8HQ co-ligands as bidentate chelates. Spectroscopic techniques and molecular docking studies were used to evaluate the ability of these complexes to bind bovine serum albumin (BSA) and calf thymus DNA. Complex 2 [Fe(L)(Cl8HQ)(H2O)] was the one showing higher affinity for both biomolecules. Cell viability was assessed in breast, colorectal and bone human cancer cell lines. 1 and 2 were found to be more active than cisplatin in all cell lines tested. A non-tumoral fibroblast line (L929, mouse non-tumoral fibroblasts) was used to evaluate selectivity. The results evidence that 2 shows much higher selectivity than 1 in all cell lines tested, but particularly in bone cancer cells in which selectivity index (SI) values are 8.0 and 18.8 for 1 and 2, respectively.

Abstract
Three metal complexes [CuL(NO3)]n (1), [Cd(HL)(NO3)2]n (2) and [EuL(HCOOH)(H2O)(NO3)2] (3) were synthesized with a pyridyl Schiff ligand L (N'-[(1E)-pyridin-2-ylmethylidene]pyridine-4-carbohydrazide). A crystallographic study revealed that complexes 1 and 2 have a chain structure, and complex 3 is a zero-dimensional monomer. In vitro cytotoxicity studies showed that complex 2 had the best antiproliferative activity against SMMC-7721 cells and complex 3 had the best antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-231 cells with single-digit IC50 values, both exceeding those of the control drug cisplatin by far. The cell invasion and migration ability through the transwell assay and wound-healing assay showed that the selected complexes could inhibit the invasion and migration of cancer cells. The Hoechst staining assay and ROS generation assay with SMMC-7721 cells indicated that the cytotoxic effects of complex 2 involved apoptosis induction through ROS accumulation. The apoptosis-inducing and cell cycle arrest effects of complex 2 on SMMC-7721 cells indicated that the antitumor effect was achieved through apoptosis induction and inhibition of DNA synthesis by blocking the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. In addition, complex 2 showed significant inhibition against B. dysentery with an inhibition circle diameter of 24 mm.

Abstract
AIMS Metal complexes have ignited considerable interest in the field of chemotherapy after the serendipitous discovery of cisplatin but the severe toxicity of these platinum-based drugs compelled researchers to search for newer, more effective lesser toxic anticancer drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Structural analysis is done by different physicochemical techniques including X-ray single crystallography. Toxicity study has been done in normal Swiss albino mice. MTT assay assessed cell viability. Apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and cell proliferation were assessed by FACS using Annexin V-PI, PI, and CFSE staining respectively. Western blot quantifies protein expression. While cell migration was studied by wound healing assay. KEY FINDINGS One-pot synthesis of a novel mononuclear cobalt(III)-Schiff base complex (1) (>99 % purity) and its complete characterization have been done. Cell viability assay showed that 1 (IC50 = 16.81 ± 1.33 μM) exhibits cytotoxicity at much lower concentration in comparison to oxaliplatin (IC50 = 31.4 ± 0.69 μM) against MCF-7 cells for 24 h of therapy without being overly toxic to human PBMCs (IC50 ≥ 60 μM). Additional in vitro studies demonstrated that 1 induces apoptosis via G2-M cell cycle arrest and reduces cell proliferation as well as cell migration in MCF-7 cells. In vivo subacute toxicity (28 days) and systemic chronic toxicity (40 days) studies were carried out in normal Swiss albino mice showed 1 is significantly nontoxic to the host. SIGNIFICANCE The readily synthesizable, significantly nontoxic cobalt complex with appreciable anticancer activity implies that it might be an effective chemotherapeutic agent for new-age anti-tumor medication.
