Abstract
Terpenes-a diverse group of secondary metabolites-constitute the largest class of natural products abundant in almost every plant species. The properties of concrete terpenes and essential oils have been intensively studied due to their widespread use in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries. Despite the popularity of these aromatic compounds, their derivatives, terpenoids, are still not comprehensively characterized despite exhibiting potent bioactive properties. This review aims to assess the anticancer properties of selected monoterpenes including carvone, carvacrol, perillyl alcohol, perillaldehyde, limonene, menthol and their derivatives while also evaluating potential applications as novel anticancer treatments. Special attention is paid to functional groups that improve the bioactivity of monoterpene molecules. This review also covers the therapeutic potential of deep eutectic solvents that contain monoterpene substances. Taken together, the literature supports the use of monoterpene derivatives in the development of new alternatives for disease treatment and prevention.

Antioxidant Properties of Camphene-Based Thiosemicarbazones: Experimental and Theoretical Evaluation. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25051192. [PMID: 32155763 PMCID: PMC7179440 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25051192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2019] [Revised: 02/17/2020] [Accepted: 02/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The thiosemicarbazone derivatives have a wide range of biological activities, such as antioxidant activity. In this study, the antiradical activities of six camphene-based thiosemicarbazones (TSC-1~6) were investigated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and peroxyl radical scavenging capacity (PSC) assays, respectively, and the results reveal that TSC1~6 exhibited good abilities for scavenging free radicals in a dose-dependent way. Compound TSC-2 exhibited the best effect of scavenging DPPH radical, with the lowest EC50 (0.208 ± 0.004 mol/mol DPPH) as well as the highest bimolecular rate constant Kb (4218 M-1 s-1), which is 1.18-fold higher than that of Trolox. Meanwhile, TSC-2 also obtained the lowest EC50 (1.27 µmol of Trolox equiv/µmol) of scavenging peroxyl radical. Furthermore, the density functional theory (DFT) calculation was carried out to further explain the experimental results by calculating several molecular descriptors associated with radical scavenging activity. These theoretical data suggested that the electron-donating effect of the diethylamino group in TSC-2 leads to the enhancement of the scavenging activities and the studied compounds may prefer to undergo the hydrogen atom transfer process.

Abstract
Aflatoxins are secondary fungal metabolites that can contaminate feed and food. They are a cause of growing concern worldwide, because they are potent carcinogenic agents. Thiosemicarbazones are molecules that possess interesting antiaflatoxigenic properties, but in order to use them as crop-protective agents, their cytotoxic and genotoxic profiles must first be assessed. In this paper, a group of thiosemicarbazones and a copper complex are reported as compounds able to antagonize aflatoxin biosynthesis, fungal growth, and sclerotia biogenesis in Aspergillus flavus. The two most interesting thiosemicarbazones found were noncytotoxic on several cell lines (CRL1790, Hs27, HFL1, and U937), and therefore, they were submitted to additional analysis of mutagenicity and genotoxicity on bacteria, plants, and human cells. No mutagenic activity was observed in bacteria, whereas genotoxic activity was revealed by the Alkaline Comet Assay on U937 cells and by the test of chromosomal aberrations in Allium cepa.

Copper complexes as prospective anticancer agents: in vitro and in vivo evaluation, selective targeting of cancer cells by DNA damage and S phase arrest. RSC Adv 2018; 8:16973-16990.

Abstract
A series of six new bis(thiosemicarbazone)copper(i) complexes of the type [Cu(L1–6)2Cl] (1–6) have been synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure of the ligand L4 was determined by the single crystal XRD method. All the complexes adopted trigonal planar (Y-shaped) geometry. All the complexes strongly bind with CT-DNA via intercalative mode, which was further supported by molecular docking studies. Further, the complexes were effectively bind with BSA as observed by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra. All the complexes effectively cleave pBR322 DNA through hydrolytic pathway as evidenced from T4 ligase experiments. All the complexes interact with the anticancer receptor focal adhesion kinase (FAK) via electrostatic, van der Waals, hydrogen bonding, σ–π and π–π interactions. In vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes were assessed by MTT assay against four cancer cell lines such as human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7), cervical (HeLa), epithelioma (Hep-2) and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC), and two normal cell lines namely normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF) and L6 myotubes with respect to the commercially used anticancer drug cisplatin. All the complexes induce apoptosis in EAC cells, which was confirmed by AO/EB, Hoechst 33258 and PI staining methods. The complexes block cell cycle progression of EAC cells in S phase (DNA synthesis). The cellular uptake studies confirmed the ability of the complexes to go into the cytoplasm and accumulation in the cell nuclei. In the in vivo anticancer studies, the complexes significantly reduce the tumour volume in female Swiss albino mice. Overall, our results ensure the role of thiosemicarbazone-based copper(i) complexes as prospective anticancer agents, induction of apoptosis and S phase arrest with the mitochondrial controlled pathway. The thiosemicarbazone-based copper(i) complexes causing S phase arrest and apoptosis involving the mitochondrial controlled pathway has been investigated.![]()
