Abstract
In the present study, one mononuclear Cu(II) [CuL(SCN)] (1) and one mononuclear Co(II) [CoLN3] (2) complexes, with a Schiff base ligand (HL) formed by condensation of 2-picolylamine and salicylaldehyde, have been successfully developed and structurally characterized. The square planer geometry of both complexes is fulfilled by the coordination of one deprotonated ligand and one ancillary ligand SCN-(1) or N3-(2) to the metal centre. Binding affinities of both complexes with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and human serum albumin (HSA) are investigated using several biophysical and spectroscopic techniques. High values of the macromolecule-complex binding constants and other results confirm the effectiveness of both complexes towards binding with DNA and HSA. The determined values of the thermodynamic parameters support spontaneous interactions of both complexes with HSA, while fluorescence displacement and DNA melting studies establish groove-binding interactions with DNA for both complexes 1 and 2. The molecular modelling study validates the experimental findings. Both complexes are subjected to an MTT test establishing the anticancer property of complex 1 with lower risk to normal cells, confirmed by the IC50 values of the complex for HeLa cancer cells and HEK normal cells. Finally, a nuclear staining analysis reveals that the complexes have caused apoptotic cell death.

Abstract
Two copper(II) complexes [Cu(Hpmoh)(NO3)(NCS)] (1) and [Cu(peoh)(N3)]2 (2) were designed and synthesized by reaction of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O with hydrazone Schiff base ligands,abbreviated with Hpmoh and Hpeoh. Hpmoh and Hpeoh were prepared by condensation reaction of octanoic hydrazide with pyridine-2-carboxyaldehyde and 2-acetylpyridine, respectively. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized using different analytical techniques such as FT-IR, UV-Vis, IR, EPR and single X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses as well as computational methods (DFT). The XRD of 1 and 2 shows a mononuclear or a dinuclear structure with the copper(II) centre adopting a slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry. In water-containing solution and in DMSO, 1 and 2 undergo a partial transformation with formation of [Cu(Hpmoh)(NO3)(NCS)] (1) and [Cu(Hpmoh)(NO3)(H2O/DMSO)] (1a) in one system and [Cu(peoh)(N3)] (2a) in the other one, as supported by DFT calculations. Docking simulations confirmed that the intercalation is the preferred binding mode with DNA for 1, 1a and 2a, but suggested that the minor groove binding is also possible. A significant fluorescence quenching of the DNA-ethidium bromide conjugate was observed upon the addition of complexes 1 and 2 with a quenching constant around 104 M-1 s-1. Finally, both 1 and 2 were examined for anti-cancer activity using MDA-MB-231 (human breast adenocarcinoma) and A375 (malignant melanoma) cell lines through in vitro MTT assay which suggest comparable cancer cell killing efficacy, with the higher effectiveness of 2 due to the dissociation into two [Cu(peoh)(N3)] units.

Abstract
Two novel palladium(II)-amino acid complexes, [Pd(Ala)2]·H2O (PA) and [Pd(Val)2].H2O (PV) (Ala = alanine; Val = valine) were synthesized and characterized through FTIR, UV/Vis, 1H-NMR spectroscopies, CHN analysis, X-ray crystallography and molar conductivity measurement. Furthermore, cytotoxicity of Pd(II) complexes against human leukemia cancer cell line, MOLT4 showed promising cancer cell death (CC50 = 0.71 ± 0.046 µM for PA; CC50 = 0.85 ± 0.063 µM for PV) that were less than cisplatin (1.59 ± 0.25 µM). Moreover, the interaction of both the complexes with DNA and BSA was studied using UV-Vis absorption and emission spectroscopic techniques that demonstrated the bindings occurred via van der Waals forces and hydrogen bond. Furthermore, the fluorescence titration showed that static quenching mechanism plays predominate role in binding process. All results showed that both complexes have more binding tendency to DNA in compared to BSA that can be a significant achievement for further medical purposes as a potential antitumor candidate. Finally, molecular docking simulation was performed for PA and PV complexes with DNA and BSA and demonstrated both complexes bind to the groove of DNA mainly by hydrogen bond and interact with site I of BSA via hydrogen bond as well.

Abstract
Treatment with transition metal complexes is an efficient method to fight with cancer. Therefore, a new transition metal complex formulated as [Pd(1, 3-pn)(acac)]Cl (pn and acac stand for propylendiamine and acetylacetonate, respectively) was synthesized and analyzed using 1H NMR, Fourier transform infrared, electronic absorption spectroscopy techniques as well as elemental analysis and conductivity measurement. The geometry optimization, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and nonlinear optical (NLO) property were accomplished by density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP level with 6-311G(d,p)/aug-cc-pVTZ-PP basis set. Preliminary determination of antitumor activity and lipophilicity of this metal complex was performed experimentally and the promising results were obtained. This encouraged us to study the interaction and binding mode/modes of this complex with DNA as the primary receptor for the chemotropic drugs and BSA as the transporter protein in the circulatory system. For this reason, the binding of newly made complex was assessed in-vitro under physiological state using experimental and in-silico molecular modeling studies. So, the CT-DNA binding study of this complex was explored using spectrofluorometric as well as spectrophotometric techniques, viscosity and gel electrophoresis experiments. Furthermore, fluorescence, UV-Vis, F[Formula: see text]rster resonance energy transfer and circular dichroism studies were carried out for BSA binding. The experimental and computational interaction studies showed that [Pd(1, 3-pn)(acac)]Cl complex binds to the minor groove of CT-DNA and interacts with BSA by van der Waals forces and hydrogen bond.

Abstract
In this paper, Cu(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) complexes with N,N,N-trimethyl-2-oxo-2-(2-(1-(thiazol-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)ethan-1-aminium chloride (HL1Cl) were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and DFT calculations. In all three complexes, a ligand (L1) is coordinated in a deprotonated formally neutral zwitterionic form via NNO donor set atoms. Cu(II) and Zn(II) form mononuclear penta-coordinated complexes [CuL1(N3)(CH3OH)]BF4 and [ZnL1(N3)2], respectively, while Mn(II) forms a binuclear [Mn2L12(μ-1,1-N3)2(N3)2]·2CH3OH complex, with unusual distorted trigonal-prismatic geometry around the metal centers. The antimicrobial activity of these complexes was tested against a panel of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, two yeasts and one fungal strain. The binuclear Mn(II) complex showed antifungal activity of similar intensity to amphotericin B. Based on the results of the brine shrimp test and DPPH radical scavenging activity, the most active Cu(II) and Mn(II) complexes were selected for evaluation of cytotoxic activity against five malignant cancer cell lines (HeLa, A375, MCF7, PC-3 and A549) and one normal cell line HaCaT. Both complexes showed significant activity. It should be pointed out that the activity of the Mn(II) complex against the MCF7 breast cancer cell line is only slightly weaker than that of cisplatin, but with selectivity to the tumor cell line in comparison to normal HaCaT cells, which is non-existent in the case of cisplatin.

Abstract
Three ONNO donor tetradentate diamino bis(phenolato) "salan" ligands, N, N'-dimethyl-N, N'-bis-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (H2L1), N, N'-dimethyl-N, N'-bis-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methyl-benzyl)-1,2-diamino-ethane (H2L2) and N, N'-bis-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methyl-benzyl)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (H2L3) have been synthesized by following Mannich condensation reaction. Reaction of these ligands with their corresponding vanadium metal precursors gave one oxidomethoxidovanadium(V) [VVOL1(OCH3)] (1) and two monooxido-bridged divanadium (V, V) complexes [VVOL2-3]2(μ-O) (2-3). The complexes were characterized by IR, UV-vis, NMR and ESI mass spectrometry. Also, the structure of all the complexes (1-3) was confirmed by the Single-Crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which revealed a distorted octahedral geometry around the metal centres. The solution behavior of the [VVOL1(OCH3)] (1) reveals the formation of two different types of V(V) species in solution, the structurally characterized compound 1 and its corresponding monooxido-bridged divanadium (V, V) complex [VVOL1]2(μ-O), which was further studied by IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of all the complexes was evaluated through cyclic voltammetry. Interaction of the salan-V(V) complexes with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were analysed through fluorescence quenching, UV-vis absorption titration, synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism studies, and förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Finally, the in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes was investigated against MCF-7 and HT-29 and NIH-3T3 cell lines. Cytotoxicity value of complexes in both MCF-7 and HT-29 follows the same trend that is 3 > 1 > 2 which is in line with protein binding affinity of the complexes.

Abstract
Three new 6-methyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde-thiosemicarbazones-N-4-substituted pro-ligands and their Cu(II) complexes (1, -NH2; 2, -NHMe; 3, -NHEt) have been prepared and characterized. In both the X-ray structures of 1 and 3, two crystallographically independent complex molecules were found that differ either in the nature of weakly metal-binding species (water in 1a and nitrate in 1b) or in the co-ligand (water in 3a and methanol in 3b). Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) measurements carried out on complexes 1 and 3 confirmed the presence of such different species in the solution. The electrochemical behavior of the pro-ligands and of the complexes was investigated, as well as their biological activity. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibited a high cytotoxicity against human tumor cells and 3D spheroids derived from solid tumors, related to the high cellular uptake. Complexes 2 and 3 also showed a high selectivity towards cancerous cell lines with respect to non-cancerous cell lines and were able to circumvent cisplatin resistance. Via the Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) imaging technique, preliminary insights into the biological activity of copper complexes were obtained.

Abstract
The molecular and QSAR (Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship) properties of title compound 2-((6-Methoxybenzo[d]thiazol-2-ylimino)methyl)-6-ethoxyphenol (HL) were evaluated employing HyperChem 7.5 tools. The interaction of the 1a-1e complexes of HL with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated by absorption titrations, Fluorescence quenching and viscosity measurements. The experimental data suggest that these complexes bind to CT-DNA through an intercalative mode, wherein DNA-binding affinity of 1e is found to be greater compared to other complexes. The tryptophan emission-quenching with bovine serum albumin (BSA) experiment revealed stronger binding of 1e than other complexes in the hydrophobic region of protein. The photocleavage of plasmid pBR322 DNA investigated in the presence of the title complexes inferred conversion of supercoiled form of DNA plasmid to circular nicked form. Free-radical scavenging activity studies of HL and its metal complexes determined by their interaction with the stable free-radical DPPH have shown promising antioxidant property. Further cytotoxicity studies with HeLa and MCF-7 cell lines indicated that the compounds can efficiently inhibit the cell proliferation in a dose dependent manner. The DAPI staining assay studies revealed the higher potency of 1e to induce apoptosis.

Abstract
A new oxidovanadium(IV) complex VO(L)(Jug) (HL = 5-methoxy-1,3-bis (1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)benzene, Jug = juglone) was synthesized and characterized. Interactions of the V(IV) complex with calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) and human serum albumin were studied using different techniques such as UV-vis and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The experimental results were confirmed by the molecular docking study. The oxidovanadium(IV) complex can efficiently cleave pUC19 DNA in the presence of Hydrogen peroxide. Also, the in vitro cytotoxicity properties of the oxidovanadium(IV) complex was evaluated against MCF-7, HPG-2 and HT-29 cancer cell lines and HEK293 non-malignant fibroblasts were evaluated and compared with free ligands, VOSO4 and cisplatin as reference drugs.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
A series of transition metal complexes have been synthesized from biologically active curcumin and isoniazid Schiff base. They are characterized by various spectral techniques like UV-Vis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and mass spectroscopies. Moreover, elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility and molar conductivity measurements are also carried out. All these data evidence that the metal complexes acquire square planar except zinc(II) which adopts a tetrahedral geometry, and they are non-electrolytic in nature. Groove mode of binding between the calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) and metal complexes is confirmed by electronic absorption titration, viscosity and cyclic voltammetry studies. In addition to that, all the metal complexes are able to cleave pUC 19 DNA. Optimized geometry and ground-state electronic structure calculations of all the synthesized compounds are established out by density functional theory (DFT) using B3LYP method which theoretically reveals that copper(II) complex explores higher stability and higher biological accessibility. This is experimentally corroborated by antimicrobial studies. In silico Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion (ADME) studies reveal the biological potential of all synthesized complexes, and also biological activity of the ligand is predicted by PASS online biological activity prediction software. Molecular docking studies are also carried out to confirm the groove mode of binding and receptor-complex interactions.
