Abstract
Cancer treatments, including traditional chemotherapy, have failed to cure human malignancies. The main reasons for the failure of these treatments are the inevitable drug resistance and serious side effects. In clinical treatment, only 5 percent of the 50 percent of cancer patients who are able to receive conventional chemotherapy survive. Because of these factors, being able to develop a drug and treatment that can target only cancer cells without affecting normal cells remains a big challenge. Since the special properties of cisplatin in the treatment of malignant tumors were accidentally discovered in the last century, metal anticancer drugs have become a research hotspot. Metal anticancer drugs have unique pharmaceutical properties, such as ruthenium metal drugs with their high selectivity, low toxicity, easy absorption by tumor tissue, excretion, and so on. In recent years, efficient and low-toxicity metal antitumor complexes have been synthesized. In this paper, the scientific literature on platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), gold (Au), and other anticancer complexes was reviewed by referring to a large amount of relevant literature at home and abroad.

Abstract
Asymmetrical 2,2'-((ethane-1,2-diylbis((2-hydroxyethyl)azanediyl))bis(methylene))diphenol substituted compounds and their C1-symmetrical diaminobis(phenolato)-bis(alkoxo) titanium(iv) complexes were synthesized, with one symmetrical analogue. X-ray crystallography corroborated tight ligand binding. Different substitutions on the two aromatic rings enabled fine-tuning of the complex properties, giving enhanced solubility, high anticancer activity (IC50 < 4 μM), and significant hydrolytic stability.

Abstract
Titanium(IV) complexes of diaminobis(phenolato)-bis(alkoxo) ligands are promising anticancer drugs, showing marked in-vivo efficacy with no toxic side-effects in mice, hence, it is of interest to elucidate their mechanism of action. Herein, we employed a fluoro-substituted derivative, FenolaTi, for mechanistic analysis of the active species and its cellular target by quantitative 19F NMR detection to reveal its biodistribution and reactivity in extracellular and intracellular matrices. Upon administration to the serum-containing medium, FenolaTi interacted with bovine serum albumin. 20 h post administration, the cellular accumulation of FenolaTi derivatives was estimated as 37% of the administered compound, in a concentration three orders-of-magnitude higher than the administered dose, implying that active membrane transportation facilitates cellular penetration. An additional 19% of the administered dose that was detected in the extracellular environment had originated from post-apoptotic cells. In the cell, interaction with cellular proteins was detected. Although some intact Ti(IV) complex localized in the nucleus, no signals for isolated DNA fractions were detected and no reactivity with nuclear proteins was observed. Interestingly, higher accumulation of FenolaTi-derived compounds in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and interaction with proteins therein were detected, supporting the role of the ER as a possible target for cytotoxic bis(phenolato)-bis(alkoxo) Ti(IV) complexes.

Abstract
Orally administered anticancer drugs facilitate treatment, but the acidic conditions in the stomach often challenge their availability. PhenolaTi is a TiIV -based nontoxic anticancer drug with marked in-vivo efficacy. We report that nanoformulation protects phenolaTi from decomposition in stomach-like conditions. This is evidenced by similar NMR characteristics and similar in-vitro cytotoxicity toward murine (CT-26) and human (HT-29) colon cancer cells before and after incubation of nanoformulated phenolaTi (phenolaTi-F) at pH 2, unlike results with the unformulated form of the complex. Furthermore, administration of phenolaTi-F in animal drinking water revealed a notable inhibition of tumor growth in Balb/c and immune-deficient (Nude) mice inoculated with CT-26 and HT-29 cells, respectively. In-vivo efficacy was at least similar to that of the corresponding intraperitoneal treatment with phenolaTi-F and the clinically employed oral drug, capecitabine. No body weight loss or clinical signs of toxicity were evident in the phenolaTi-F-treated animals. These findings demonstrate a new convenient mode of cancer treatment through oral administration by safe titanium-based drugs.

Abstract
PhenolaTi is an advanced non-toxic anticancer chemotherapy; this inert bis(phenolato)bis(alkoxo) Ti(IV) complex demonstrates the intriguing combination of high and wide efficacy with no detected toxicity in animals. Here we unravel the cellular pathways involved in its mechanism of action by a first genome study on Ti(IV)-treated cells, using an attuned RNA sequencing-based available technology. First, phenolaTi induced apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in MCF7 cells. Second, the transcriptome of the treated cells was analyzed, identifying alterations in pathways relating to protein translation, DNA damage, and mitochondrial eruption. Unlike for common metallodrugs, electrophoresis assay showed no inhibition of DNA polymerase activity. Reduced in vitro cytotoxicity with added endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor supported the ER as a putative cellular target. Altogether, this paper reveals a distinct ER-related mechanism by the Ti(IV) anticancer coordination complex, paving the way for wider applicability of related techniques in mechanistic analyses of metallodrugs.

A tetrakis(phenolato) Ti(iv) complex was synthesized in racemic and optically pure form, exhibiting high hydrolytic stability, and similar cytotoxicity for all stereochemical forms on HT-29 and A2780 cancer cells. Higher activity of the racemate on drug-resistant A2780cp and A2780adr lines implies a beneficial activity of both enantiomers rendering enantiomeric resolution unnecessary.

Abstract
Due to the toxicity of platinum compounds used in the clinic as anticancer chemotherapies, titanium serves as a safe and attractive alternative. Lately, we introduced a new family of Ti complexes based on readily available phenolato ligands, demonstrating incredibly high hydrolytic stability, with the lead compound phenolaTi demonstrating wide cytotoxic activity toward the NCI‐60 panel of human cancer cell lines, with an average GI50 value of 4.7±2 μm. Herein, we evaluated in vivo: a) the safety, and b) the growth inhibitory capacity (efficacy) of this compound. PhenolaTi was found to be effective in vivo against colon (CT‐26) and lung (LLC‐1) murine cell lines in syngeneic hosts and toward a human colon cancer (HT‐29) cell line in immune‐deficient (Nude) mice, with an efficacy similar to that of known chemotherapy. Notably, no clinical signs of toxicity were observed in the treated mice, namely, no effect on body weight, spleen weight or kidney function, unlike the effects observed with the positive control Pt drugs. Studies of combinations of phenolaTi and Pt drugs provided evidence that similar efficacy with decreased toxicity may be achieved, which is highly valuable for medicinal applications.

Abstract
Racemic and enantiomerically pure titanium(IV) complexes with ortho-brominated or para-nitrated chiral diaminobis(phenolato) ligands were prepared with NH and NMe cyclohexyldiamino bridges through ligand to metal chiral induction. The hydrolytic behavior of the complexes was evaluated, identifying the N-methylated complex as the most stable. A representative NH complex hydrolyzed to first give a dimeric structure in solution as deduced by NMR diffusion measurements, followed by formation of clusters with higher nuclearity, as was supported by X-ray characterization of a tetranuclear cluster obtained in trace amounts following 30 days in water solutions. The cytotoxicity of the enantiomerically pure and racemic complexes was measured on HT-29 human colon cancer cell line based on the MTT assay; all stereochemical configurations of the N-methylated complex were inactive, whereas for the NH complexes, the racemic mixtures were mostly inactive but the pure enantiomers exhibited similarly high cytotoxicity, supporting a polynuclear active species. Analysis of the two enantiomers of the most active brominated complex for their cytotoxicity on human ovarian A2780, cisplatin resistant A2780cp and multi-drug-resistant A2780adr cell lines as well as for their apoptosis induction on the A2780 line revealed similar reactivity, supporting a similar mechanism for the two enantiomers.

Abstract
Advanced anticancer phenolato titanium(iv) complexes were combined with known chemotherapeutic anticancer drugs applied in the clinic and were analyzed in vitro on cell lines most sensitive to the Ti(iv) complex and relevant to the clinical application of the known drugs. Combination of the Ti(iv) complex with cisplatin on ovarian cells showed mostly an additive behavior, also on a line resistant to cisplatin. Combination of the Ti(iv) complex with fluorouracil on colon cells gave near additive behavior, and that with oxaliplatin gave a synergistic behavior at a wide range of Ti : Pt ratios, but only when the drugs were administered together. Increasing the time intervals between the administration of Ti and of Pt turned the behavior to antagonistic, suggesting some deactivation of Pt by the Ti agent. For combinations where the drugs were applied together, the behavior depended on the effect level, and higher effects gave greater synergism, implying that technical aspects such as solubility are influential. Nevertheless, more complex patterns recorded for combinations where the drugs had been applied separately suggested multiple mechanisms with different concentration dependence. Overall the results point to high medicinal potential for the tested compounds for anticancer combination treatments.

Abstract
Octahedral titanium(IV) complexes of phenolato hexadentate ligands were developed and showed very high stability for days in water solutions. In vitro cytotoxicity studies showed that, whereas tetrakis(phenolato) systems are generally of low activity presumably due to inaccessibility, smaller bis(phenolato)bis(alkoxo) complexes feature high anticancer activity and accessibility even without formulations, also toward a cisplatin-resistant cell line. An all-aliphatic control complex was unstable and inactive. A leading phenolato complex also revealed: 1) high durability in fully aqueous solutions; accordingly, negligible loss of activity after preincubation for three days in medium or in serum; 2) maximal cellular accumulation and induction of apoptosis following 24-48 h of administration; 3) reduced impact on noncancerous fibroblast cells; 4) in vivo efficacy toward lymphoma cells in murine model; 5) high activity in NCI-60 panel, with average GI50 of 4.6±2 μm. This newly developed family of Ti(IV) complexes is thus of great potential for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
Titanium compounds, in particular, Ti(IV) based diaminobis(phenolato) "salan" complexes demonstrate high cytotoxicity towards a wide range of cancer cell lines in vitro, and still, very little is known on their mode of action. A representative salan Ti(IV) complex was tested both in vitro and in vivo on human HT-29 colorectal adenocarcinoma and A2780 ovarian carcinoma cells. Both cell lines were sensitive in vitro with A2780 demonstrating an enhanced rate of uptake and intracellular accumulation and thus an earlier response to the drug. HT-29 cells responded in vivo by impaired tumor development in nude mice. Both cell lines responded in vitro (but to a different extent) by upregulation of p53 with no apparent effect on p21 followed by cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and necrosis as demonstrated by sub-G1 cell accumulation and staining by Annexin-V and propidium iodide. Furthermore, time dependent activation of cysteine-aspartic proteases9 (caspase9) as well as some minor activation of cysteine-aspartic proteases3 (caspase3) support a direct effect on the apoptotic pathway. The differential response of the two cell lines to the salan titanium(IV) complex suggests that more than one pathway is involved in their growth regulation and thus could inhibit development of drug resistant variants.

Abstract
Titanium(IV) complexes exhibit high potential as anti-tumor agents, particularly due to their low intrinsic toxicity and cytotoxicity toward cisplatin resistant cells. Nevertheless, Ti(IV) complexes generally undergo rapid hydrolysis that previously hampered their utilization as anticancer drugs. We recently overcame this difficulty by developing a highly stable Ti(IV) complex that is based on tetra-phenolato, hexadentate ligand, formulated into organic nanoparticles. Herein we investigated the activity of this complex in vitro and in vivo. Although inactive when tested directly due to poor solubility, when formulated, this complex displayed (a) high cytotoxicity toward cisplatin resistant human ovarian cells, A2780-cp, with resistance factor of 1.1; (b) additive behavior in combination with cisplatin toward ovarian and colon cancer cells; (c) selectivity toward cancer cells as implied by its mild activity toward non-cancerous, fibroblast lung cells, MRC-5; (d) high stability and durability as manifested by the ability to maintain cytotoxicity, even following one week of incubation in 100% aquatic medium solution; and (e) in vivo efficacy toward solid tumors of human colon cancer cells, HT-29, in nude mice without any clinical signs of toxicity. These features support the formulated phenolato Ti(IV) complex being an effective and selective anti-tumoral agent.

Abstract
Nanoparticles of titanium(IV) complexes of phenolato ligands were formed and evaluated for cytotoxicity toward human HT-29 colon cancer, murine T-25 lymphoma, and murine HU-2 multidrug-resistant (MDR) cells. The nano-formulation, besides increasing the complexes' shelf lives, is particularly efficient in overcoming limitations in solubility and cell-penetration, thus enhancing biological accessibility; large complexes that were inactive when measured in a non-formulated form showed marked activity when nano-formulated. For active and accessible small complexes, the effect of the formulation was negligible. Most complexes showed similar activity toward MDR cells and their drug-sensitive analogues, further increasing their therapeutic potential. An exception is a particularly hydrophobic complex, which is presumably more accessible to interaction with the membrane ABCB1 (MDR1) transporter active in the multidrug resistance of HU-2 cells. The most efficient compound is a mononuclear complex of a single hexadentate ligand, combining particularly high activity and hydrolytic stability with accessibility aided by the nano-formulation.

Abstract
Diaminobis(phenolato) ("salan") titanium(IV) complexes of differently substituted aromatic rings were synthesized, and their hydrolytic stability and cytotoxicity were analyzed and compared to those of the C2-symmertrical analogues and their equimolar mixtures. The hydrolytic stability of the asymmetrical complexes was in between those of the symmetrical analogues, implying an additive influence of the ligand structural parameters. Most mixed halogenated/nitrated complexes showed a marked improvement of cytotoxic activity relative to the symmetrical analogues and their mixtures, with IC50 values as low as <1 μM corresponding to activity exceeding that of cisplatin by up to 30-fold. In contrast, asymmetrical complexes with substitutions of similar properties revealed an added influence of both, with cytotoxicity in between those of the symmetrical analogues. With the presumption that the active species is generally a polynuclear hydrolysis product kept in mind, it is overall evident that particular ligand design and fine-tuning of the parameters of influence including hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity are essential for maximizing biological efficiency.

Abstract
Salan titanium(IV) complexes of differently substituted aromatic rings, where one ring is para-nitrated and another is ortho,para-halogenated, demonstrate exceptionally high anticancer activity, with IC(50) values of <1 μM, exceeding that of cisplatin by ~30-fold. Whereas an additive effect in hydrolytic stability was detected for these highly stable complexes, an unexpected synergistic effect in anticancer activity makes these hybrid complexes substantially more active than both their symmetrical analogues alone and their equimolar mixture.

Abstract
A series of Ti(IV) complexes containing diamino bis(phenolato) "salan" type ligands with NH coordination were prepared, and their hydrolysis and cytotoxicity were analyzed and compared to the N-methylated analogues. Substituting methyl groups on the coordinative nitrogen donor of highly active and stable Ti(IV) salan complexes with H atoms has two main consequences: the hydrolysis rate increases and the cytotoxic activity diminishes. In addition, the small modification of a single replacement of Me with H leads to a different major hydrolysis product, where a dinuclear Ti(IV) complex with two bridging oxo ligands is obtained, as characterized by X-ray crystallography, rather than a trinuclear cluster. A partial hydrolysis product containing a single oxo bridge was also crystallographically analyzed. Investigation of a series of complexes with NH donors of different steric and electronic effects revealed that cytotoxicity may be restored by fine tuning these parameters even for complexes of low stability.

Abstract
In our attempt to define the parameters affecting anticancer activity of titanium complexes and to assess the role of hydrolytic stability, titanium compounds of oxygen-based ligands were studied. A homoleptic complex of hydroxyamino-1,3,5-triazine ligands was prepared and its hydrolysis was investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy at biologically relevant pH and temperature conditions based on its ligand to metal charge transfer absorption band. This complex exhibits very high hydrolytic stability under the conditions measured with negligible ligand dissociation. Its anticancer reactivity was investigated on ovarian OVCAR-1 and colon HT-29 cells, in comparison with the reference highly labile Ti(OiPr)(4) and TiCl(4)(THF)(2) (where THF is tetrahydrofuran), the inert thermodynamically stable TiO2, and the free aromatic hydroxyamino-1,3,5-triazine ligand. Whereas all reference titanium complexes were found to be completely unreactive against both tumor cell types, suggesting some moderate inertness is required, the homoleptic complex of the triazine ligands clearly possess some mild reactivity despite having no labile groups, and despite its incomplete solubility in the concentrations applied. As the free aromatic ligand is highly active under similar conditions, detailed time-dependence measurements were conducted and indicated that the cytotoxicity of the ligand is more affected by reducing incubation time, and that introducing the titanium complex to the medium prior to cell administration does not increase reactivity at a certain incubation time. These findings suggest that the reactivity of the complex does not result from that of the free ligand following dissociation, but rather involves the titanium center.

Abstract
Clustering analysis of tumor cell cytotoxicity profiles for the National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s open compound repository has been used to catalog over 1100 metal or metalloid containing compounds with potential anticancer activity. The molecular features and corresponding reactivity of these compounds have been analyzed in terms of properties of their metals, their associated organic components (ligands) and their capacity to inhibit tumor cell growth. Cytotoxic responses are influenced by both the identity of the metal and the properties of its coordination ligand, with clear associations between structural similarities and cytotoxicity. Assignments of mechanisms of action (MOAs) for these compounds could be segregated into four broad response classes according to preference for binding to biological sulfhydryl groups, chelation, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and production of lipophilic ions. Correlations between specific cytotoxic responses and differential gene expression profiles within the NCI's tumor cell panel serve as a validation for candidate biological targets and putative MOA classes. In addition, specific sensitivity toward subsets of metal containing agents has been found for certain tumor cell panels. Taken together, our results expand the knowledge base available for evaluating, designing and developing new metal-based anticancer drugs that may provide the basis for target-specific therapeutics.

Abstract
The first bioinorganic vanadocene(IV) complexes of α-amino acids ([Cp2V(aa)]Cl, Cp = η5-C5H5, aa = glycine, L-alanine, L-valine) were prepared by reaction of vanadocene dichloride ([Cp2VCl2]) and α-amino acids in aqueous methanol. Analogous cationic complexes with PF6- counterions were obtained by metathetical reactions of the chloride precursors with KPF6. These compounds are of great interest as model systems for the vanadocene moiety binding to proteins. All complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses and IR, Raman and EPR spectroscopies. On the basis of EPR spectra, a chelate in all the studied complexes was proposed, formed by the carboxylato and amino groups. This structure has also been confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
