Novel family of [RuCp(N,N)(P)] + compounds with simultaneous anticancer and antibacterial activity: Biological evaluation and solution chemistry studies. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 262:115922. [PMID: 37944388 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 10/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/12/2023]
Abstract
A family of ten novel ruthenium(II)-cyclopentadienyl organometallics of general formula [Ru(η5-C5H5)(N,N)(PPh2(C6H4COOR)][CF3SO3] (1-10) in which (N,N) = 4,4'-R'-2,2'-bipyridyl (R = -H or -CH2CH2OH; R' = -H, -CH3, -OCH3, -CH2OH, and -CH2-biotin) was prepared from [Ru(η5-C5H5)(PPh2(C6H4COOH))2Cl]. All compounds were fully characterized by means of several spectroscopic and analytical techniques, and the molecular structures of [Ru(η5-C5H5)(PPh2(C6H4COOH))2Cl], 1, 3 and 4 have been additionally studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The anticancer activity of all compounds was evaluated in sensitive and multidrug-resistant counterpart cell lines from human colorectal cancer (Colo 205 and Colo 320) and non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC (A549, NCI-H460 versus NCI-H460/R) as well. Notably, compounds 6 and 7 (R CH2CH2OH and (N,N) = bipy or Me2bipy, respectively) showed antiproliferative effect against both cell lines with high intrinsic selectivity towards cancer cells. The antibacterial activity of all compounds was also evaluated against both Gram negative and Gram positive strains, and some compounds in the series showed potent antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus strains, including the methicillin-resistant MRSA strains. Solution speciation studies revealed that the complexes bearing the PPh2(C6H4COO-) ligand are neutral at physiological pH (7.4) in contrast with their ethylene glycol derivatives that have a permanent positive charge. While all compounds are lipophilic, the difference in the distribution coefficient for neutral and charged complexes is around one order of magnitude. Complexes 6 and 7 exhibited excellent biological activity and were selected for further studies. Spectrofluorometric methods were used to investigate their interaction with biomolecules such as human serum albumin (HSA) and calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA). For these complexes, binding site II of HSA is a possible binding pocket through non-covalent interactions. The release of ethidium from the DNA adduct by the charged complexes proves their interaction with DNA in contrast to the neutral ones. In conclusion, Ru(II)-cyclopentadienyl complexes with 2,2'-bipyridyl-derivatives and an ethylene glycol moiety tethered to the phenylphosphane co-ligand are very promising from a therapeutic perspective, in particular complexes 6 and 7 that display remarkable antibacterial activity with a high anti-proliferative effect against colon and non-small cell lung cancers, both clinically challenging neoplasias in need of effective solutions.

Complexes {[(PTA)2CpRu-μ-CN-1κC:2κ2N-RuCp(PTA)2-ZnCl3]}·2DMSO (13) {[ZnCl2(H2O)]-(PTA-1κP:2κ2N)(PTA)CpRu-μ-CN-1κC:2κ2N-RuCp(PTA)(PTA-1κP:2κ2N)-[ZnCl2(H2O)]}Cl (14), [RuCp(HdmoPTA)(PPh3)(PTA)](CF3SO3)2 (20), [RuCp(HdmoPTA)(HPTA)(PPh3)](CF3SO3)3 (21), and [RuCp(dmoPTA)(PPh3)(PTA)](CF3SO3) (22) were obtained
and characterized, and their crystal structure together with that
of the previously published complex 18 is reported. The
behavior of the 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane (PTA)
and 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (dmoPTA)
ligands against protonation and κN-coordination
is discussed, on the basis of 15N nuclear magnetic resonance
data collected on 22 different compounds, including PTA (1), HdmoPTA (7H), and some common derivatives as free
ligands (2–6 and 8), along with mono-
and polymetallic complexes containing PTA and/or HdmoPTA (9–22). 15N detection via 1H–15N heteronuclear multiple bond correlation allowed the construction
of a small library of 15N chemical shifts that shed light
on important features regarding κN-coordination
in PTA and its derivatives. To shed light
on the behavior of the triazaphosphines 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane
(PTA) and 3,7-dimethyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane
(dmoPTA) upon κN coordination and N protonation, the 15N chemical shifts of 22 compounds, including PTA and a representative
variety of its derivatives, piano-stool complexes, were collected
by 1H−15N heteronuclear multiple bond
correlation nuclear magnetic resonance. New heterometallic complexes
containing PTA were also synthesized and fully characterized.

Abstract
A new RuII-ReII complex salt, μ-cyanido-κ2 C:N-bis-[(η5-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)bis(3,5,7-tri-aza-phosphaadamantane-κP)ruthenium(II)] tetra-bromido-(ethanol/methanol-κO)nitrosylrhenate(II), [Ru(CN)(C5H5)2(C6H12N3P)4][ReBr4(NO)(CH4O)0.5(C2H6O)0.5] or [RuCp(PTA)2-μ-CN-1κC:2κ2 N-RuCp(PTA)2][Re(NO)Br4(EtOH)0.5(MeOH)0.5] (PTA = 3,5,7-tri-aza-phosphaadaman-tane) was obtained and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The title salt was obtained by liquid-liquid diffusion of methanol/DMSO solutions of (NBu4)[Re(NO)Br4(EtOH)] and [(PTA)2CpRu-μ-CN-1κC:2κ2 N-RuCp(PTA)2](CF3SO3). The RuII and ReII independent moieties correspond to a binuclear and mononuclear complex ion, respectively. A deep geometrical parameter analysis was performed, and no significant differences were found with earlier reports containing similar mol-ecules. The magnetic properties were investigated in the temperature range 2.0-300 K, and the complex behaves as a quasi-magnetically isolated spin doublet with weak anti-ferromagnetic inter-actions.

Abstract
A new water soluble heterometallic polymeric complex [{(PTA)2CpRu-μ-CN-1κC:2κ2N-RuCp(PTA)2}-μ-{Au(CN)4}4]n·2H2O (1) is synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. This complex self-assembles forming 3D polymeric structures with large scale hexagonal conformation. They also organize as 3D stacks of polymer sandwiches that can be exfoliated providing mono heterometallic-3D layers, as shown by electron microscopy. Regarding the polymer dynamics, quasi-elastic neutron scattering shows a transition from vibrational Debye-Waller behaviour to a more dynamically active state as a result of the loss of structural water molecules.

Abstract
A series of silver(I) camphorsulfonato complexes containing various phosphine ligands having the stoichiometry [Ag(camphSO3)(PR3)] [PR3 = PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), PASO2 (2-thia-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane-2,2-dioxide), PPh3, PCy3, P(CH2CH2CN)3, PPyPh2, or P(o-tol)3] were prepared and fully characterized by NMR spectroscopic methods and X-ray crystallography. Depending on the nature of the phosphine, a variety of different supramolecular structures, including dimers, macrocycles, and coordination polymers, were observed in the solid state. The in vitro antimicrobial activity in seven different pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Candida albicans, and Cryptococcus neoformans var. grubii) as well as toxicity in human cells was also examined. While all compounds show some activity against the bacteria, they were especially active against the fungus C. neoformans. The most active and at the same time least toxic compound was found to be the water-soluble complex [Ag(camphSO3)(PTA)2].

Orthogonal Coordination Chemistry of PTA toward Ru(II) and Zn(II) (PTA = 1,3,5-Triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) for the Construction of 1D and 2D Metal-Mediated Porphyrin Networks.

Abstract
![]()
This work demonstrates
that PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) behaves as an orthogonal
ligand between Ru(II) and Zn(II), since it selectively binds through
the P atom to ruthenium and through one or more of the N atoms to
zinc. This property of PTA was exploited for preparing the two monomeric
porphyrin adducts with axially bound PTA, [Ru(TPP)(PTA-κP)2] (1, TPP = meso-tetraphenylporphyrin) and [Zn(TPP)(PTA-κN)] (3). Next, we prepared a number of heterobimetallic
Ru/Zn porphyrin polymeric networks—and two discrete molecular
systems—mediated by P,N-bridging PTA in which
either both metals reside inside a porphyrin core, or one metal belongs
to a porphyrin, either Ru(TPP) or Zn(TPP), and the other to a complex
or salt of the complementary metal (i.e., cis,cis,trans-[RuCl2(CO)2(PTA-κP)2] (5), trans-[RuCl2(PTA-κP)4] (7), Zn(CH3COO)2, and ZnCl2). The molecular compounds 1, 3, trans-[{RuCl2(PTA-κ2P,N)4}{Zn(TPP)}4] (8), and [{Ru(TPP)(PTA-κP)(PTA-κ2P,N)}{ZnCl2(OH2)}] (11), as well as the polymeric species [{Ru(TPP)(PTA-κ2P,N)2}{Zn(TPP)}]∞ (4), cis,cis,trans-[{RuCl2(CO)2(PTA-κ2P,N)2}{Zn(TPP)}]∞ (6), trans-[{RuCl2(PTA-κ2P,N)4}{Zn(TPP)}2]∞ (9), and [{Ru(TPP)(PTA-κ3P,2N)2}{Zn9(CH3COO)16(CH3OH)2(OH)2}]∞ (10), were structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.
Compounds 4, 6, 9, and 10 are the first examples of solid-state porphyrin networks
mediated by PTA. In 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 the bridging PTA has the κ2P,N binding mode, whereas in the 2D polymeric
layers of 10 it has the triple-bridging mode κ3P,2N. The large number of
compounds with the six-coordinate Zn(TPP) (the three polymeric networks
of 4, 6 and 9, out of five
compounds) strongly suggests that the stereoelectronic features of
PTA are particularly well-suited for this relatively rare type of
coordination. Interestingly, the similar 1D polymeric chains 4 and 6 have different shapes (zigzag in 4 vs “Greek frame” in 6) because
the {trans-Ru(PTA-κ2P,N)2} fragment bridges two Zn(TPP) units with anti geometry in 4 and with syn geometry
in 6. Orthogonal “Greek frame” 1D chains
make the polymeric network of 9. Having firmly established
the binding preferences of PTA toward Ru(II) and Zn(II), we are confident
that in the future a variety of Ru/Zn solid-state networks can be
produced by changing the nature of the partners. In particular, there
are several inert Ru(II) compounds that feature two or more P-bonded
PTA ligands that might be exploited as connectors of well-defined
geometry for the rational design of solid-state networks with Zn–porphyrins
(or other Zn compounds). This work demonstrates,
through the X-ray structural characterization of several polymeric
Ru/Zn networks, that PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) behaves
as an orthogonal ligand between Ru(II) and Zn(II). In fact, PTA selectively
binds through the P atom to ruthenium and through one or more of the
N atoms to zinc.
