Abstract
To fully harness the potential of molecular machines, it is crucial to develop methods by which to exert control over their speed of motion through the application of external stimuli. A conformationally strained macrocyclic fluorescent rotamer, CarROT, displays a reproducible and linear fluorescence decrease towards temperature over the physiological temperature range. Through the external addition of anions, cations or through deprotonation, the compound can access four discreet rotational speeds via supramolecular interactions (very slow, slow, fast and very fast) which in turn stop, reduce or enhance the thermoluminescent properties due to increasing or decreasing non-radiative decay processes, thereby providing a means to externally control the temperature sensitivity of the system. Through comparison with analogues with a higher degree of conformational freedom, the high thermosensitivity of CarROT over the physiological temperature range was determined to be due to conformational strain, which causes a high energy barrier to rotation over this range. Analogues with a higher degree of conformational freedom display lower sensitivities towards temperature over the same temperature range. This study provides an example of an information rich small molecule, in which programable rotational speed states can be observed with facile read-out.

Structure-activity relationship and cytotoxicity of the new thiosemicarbazide derivatives and their Cu(II) complexes against prostate and melanoma cancer cells. Arch Biochem Biophys 2024; 755:109955. [PMID: 38460659 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2024.109955] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
In this study, eighteen new ligands (B1-B18) containing a thiosemicarbazide core were synthesized and characterized in terms of physicochemical properties, molecular docking and in vitro biological activity. The structures of eleven ligands were investigated using X-Ray diffraction and Hirschfeld Surface analysis. To study the structure-activity relationship, the organic ligands contained pyridin-2-ylmethyl, pyridin-3-ylmethyl or pyridin-4-ylmethyl moieties and various substituents. Their pharmakokinetic profiles and molecular docking results suggest high potential as new drug candidates. The complexing ability of the selected organic ligands was also evaluated, yielding five new Cu(II) complexes (Cu(B1)Cl2, Cu(B4)Cl2, Cu(B10)Cl2, Cu(B17)Cl2, Cu(B18)Cl2). The obtained results suggest the formation of the polymeric structures. All organic ligands and Cu(II) complexes were tested for anticancer activity against prostate and melanoma cancer cells (PC-3, DU-145, LNCaP, A375, G-361, SK-MEL-28) and normal fibroblasts (BJ), as well as antimicrobial activity against six selected bateria strains. Among B1-B18 compounds, B3, B5, B9, B10, B12 and B14 exhibited cytotoxic activity. The studied Cu(II) complexes were in general more active, with Cu(B1)Cl2 exhibiting antincancer activity agains all three prostate cancer cells and Cu(B10)Cl2 reaching the IC50 value equal to 88 μM against G-361 melanoma cells. Several compounds also exhibited antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It was found that the type of specific substituents, especially the presence of -chloro and -dichloro substituents had a greated impact on the cytotoxicity than the position of the nitrogen atom in the pyridylacetyl moiety.

Abstract
Dithiobiureas coordination chemistry towards palladium (II) ions and their possible application is presented and discussed. 1,6-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-2,5-dithiobiurea and 1,6-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dithiobiurea afford two Pd(II) complexes with the general formula [Pd2(H2L)Cl2(PPh3)2]. The metal ion forms one chelate ring with the dithiobiurea, and binds to a triphenylphosphine and an additional leaving group cisplatin like. One of the complexes (1) is endowed not only with stability in DMSO and aqua solutions containing a biological buffer but also with cytotoxicity versus gastric cancer cell lines. Complex 1 does not interact covalently to DNA models, neither activates p53 or Checkpoint Kinase 1 key proteins for DNA damage response. Thus, we propose that complex 1 exerts its action by activating Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases [p38, Extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs)] as cell death inductors.

Abstract
To develop effective agents to combat bacterial infections, a series of thiourea derivatives (TDs) were prepared and their antibacterial activities were evaluated. Our results showed that TD4 exerted the most potent antibacterial activity against a number of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), including the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus faecalis strains, with the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at 2-16 µg/mL. It inhibited the MRSA growth curve in a dose-dependent manner and reduced the colony formation unit in 4× MIC within 4 h. Under the transmission electron microscope, TD4 disrupted the integrity of MRSA cell wall. Additionally, it reduced the infective lesion size and the bacterial number in the MRSA-induced infection tissue of mice and possessed a good drug likeness according to the Lipinski rules. Our results indicate that TD4 is a potential lead compound for the development of novel antibacterial agent against the MRSA infection.

Abstract
The reaction of propargylamines with isothiocyanates results in the selective formation of iminothiazolidines, aminothiazolines or mixed thiazolidine-thiourea compounds under mild conditions. It has been observed that secondary propargylamines lead to the selective formation of cyclic 2-amino-2-thiazoline derivatives, while primary propargylamines form iminothiazoline species. In addition, these cyclic thiazoline derivatives can further react with an excess of isothiocyanate to give rise to thiazolidine-thiourea compounds. These species can also be achieved by reaction of propargylamines with isothiocynates in a molar ratio of 1 : 2. Coordination studies of these heterocyclic species towards silver and gold with different stoichiometries have been carried out and complexes of the type [ML(PPh3)]OTf, [ML2]OTf (M = Ag, Au) or [Au(C6F5)L] have been synthesised. Preliminary studies of the cytotoxic activity in lung cancer cells have also been performed in both ligands and complexes, showing that although the ligands do not exhibit anticancer activity, their coordination to metals, especially silver, greatly enhances the cytotoxic activity.

Abstract
A new family of perylenediimide (PDI) silver and copper complexes has been successfully synthesized by reacting ortho- and bay-substituted (dipyrid-2',2″-ylamino)perylenediimide ligands with metal phosphine fragments. The coordination of the metal center did not reveal a significant effect on the photophysical properties, which are mainly due to the PDI ligands, and in some cases quenching of the luminescence was observed. The antiproliferative effect of the free perylenediimide ligands and the metalloPDI complexes against the cervix cancer cell line HeLa was determined by MTT assay. The free perylenediimide ligands exhibited a moderate cytotoxic activity, but the coordination of silver or copper to the dypyridylamino fragment greatly enhanced the activity, suggesting a synergistic effect between the two fragments. In attempts to elucidate the cellular biodistribution of the PDIs and the complexes, a colocalization experiment using specific dyes for the lysosomes or mitochondria as internal standards revealed a major internalization inside the cell for the metal complexes, as well as a partial mitochondrial localization.

Mononuclear Tricoordinate Copper(I) and Silver(I) Halide Complexes of a Sterically Bulky Thiourea Ligand and a Computational Insight of Their Interaction with Human Insulin.

Abstract
Reaction of two equivalents of the bulky 1,3-bis(2,6-diethylphenyl)thiourea ligand (L) with MX (being M = Cu+, Ag+; and X = Cl−, Br−, I−) in acetonitrile afforded neutral complexes of the type [MXL2] [CuClL2].2CH3CN (1a); [CuBrL2].2CH3CN (1b); [CuIL2] (1c): [AgClL2] (2a); [AgBrL2] (2b) and [AgIL2] (2c). The two aromatic groups in free ligand were found to be trans with respect to the thiourea unit, which was a reason to link the ligand molecules via intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding was observed in all metal complexes. The copper complexes 1a and 1b are acetonitrile solvated and show not only intra- but also intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the coordinated thiourea and the solvated acetonitrile molecules. Silver complexes reported here are the first examples of structurally characterized tricoordinated thiourea-stabilized monomeric silver(I) halides. Molecular docking studies were carried out to analyze the binding modes of the metal complexes inside the active site of the human insulin (HI) protein. Analysis of the docked conformations revealed that the electrostatic and aromatic interactions of the protein N-terminal residues (i.e., Phe and His) may assist in anchoring and stabilizing the metal complexes inside the active site. According to the results of docking studies, the silver complexes exhibited the strongest inhibitory capability against the HI protein, which possesses a deactivating group, directly bonded to silver. All compounds were fully characterized by elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and molecular structures of the ligand, and five out of six metal complexes were also confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
Metal complexes have demonstrated significant antitumor activities and platinum complexes are well established in the clinical application of cancer chemotherapy. However, the platinum-based treatment of different types of cancers is massively hampered by severe side effects and resistance development. Consequently, the development of novel metal-based drugs with different mechanism of action and pharmaceutical profile attracts modern medicinal chemists to design and synthesize novel metal-based agents. Among non-platinum anticancer drugs, gold complexes have gained considerable attention due to their significant antiproliferative potency and efficacy. In most situations, the gold complexes exhibit anticancer activities by targeting thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) or other thiol-rich proteins and enzymes and trigger cell death via reactive oxygen species (ROS). Interestingly, gold complexes were recently reported to elicit biochemical hallmarks of immunogenic cell death (ICD) as an ICD inducer. In this review, the recent progress of gold(I) and gold(III) complexes is comprehensively summarized, and their activities and mechanism of action are documented.
