Platinum and palladium complexes with 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine: synthesis and cytotoxic activity
New complexes of platinum and palladium were isolated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH). These complexes were characterized and the results shown that the ligand is coordinated to platinum or palladium by the basic nitrogen of NH2 group and have the general structure cis-[M(2,4- DNPH)2Cl2 ].H2O where M = Pt or Pd. The thermal stability of the complexes was followed in the temperature range 25-850 ºC. The antitumor activity of the synthesized compounds has been studied and the compound cis-[Pt(2,4-DNPH)2Cl2 ], was found to display cytotoxicity (IC50 = 4.6 μmol/L) against K562 tumoral cell line. This work is the first to describe the cytotoxic activity of complexes containing 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazineColegio de Farmacéuticos de la Provincia de Buenos Aire
A novel oxidovanadium(V) compound with an isonicotinohydrazide ligand: A combined experimental and theoretical study and cytotoxity against K562 cells
The interaction of oxidovanadium(V) with INHOVA (the condensation product of isoniazid and o-vanillin) lead to the formation of the ester-like complex [VO(INHOVA)EtO(OH2)]Cl·H2O (1). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction methods were obtained. The complex crystallizes as a dimer in the space group P21/c of the monoclinic system. A detailed analysis, including solid-state vibrational spectroscopy and electronic spectroscopy in DMSO solution, was performed for both INHOVA and complex (1). A complete theoretical study based on DFT was also carried out. The calculations were of valuable assistance in the spectra assignments and interpretation. The electrochemical characterization allows determining the redox behavior of INHOVA and complex (1). Cytotoxicity was assayed against the chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cell line. The IC50 values obtained denote that both the ligand and complex (1) are good candidates for further studies.Centro de Química Inorgánic

Platinum(II) compounds of tetracyclines as potential anticancer agents: cytotoxicity, uptake and interactions with DNA
Three new complexes of platinum(II) with doxycycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline and their antimicrobial activity
Two different modes for copper(II) ion coordination to quinine-type ligands
Three new copper(II) complexes with the ligands quinuclidine [Cu(C7H13N)2(OH2)Cl]Cl.2H 2O (1), quinine [Cu(C20H23O2N2)(OH 2)2]ClO4 (2), and hydroquinidine [Cu(C20H27O2N2)(OH 2) Cl2]Cl.fraction one-halfH2O (3) have been isolated and characterized. The binding sites were assigned on the basis of vibrational spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, and thermal analysis results. The possibility of the involvement of the quinuclidinic nitrogen in the coordination was evidenced in complex 1, in which copper(II) is coordinated to two quinuclidine molecules. In the case of quinine-type ligands, if the starting material is deprotonated in both nitrogens, copper(II) coordination occurs through the quinuclidinic nitrogen, as in complex 2. In contrast, if the starting material is protonated in the quinuclidinic nitrogen the binding site is the quinolinic nitrogen, as in complex 3. Therefore, both nitrogens of quinine-type ligands constitute binding sites for copper(II) ions
Two New Ternary Complexes of Copper(II) with Tetracycline or Doxycycline and 1,10-Phenanthroline and Their Potential as Antitumoral: Cytotoxicity and DNA Cleavage
This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of two new ternary copper(II) complexes: [Cu(doxy-cycline)(1,10-phenanthroline)(H(2)O)(ClO(4))](ClO(4)) (1) and [Cu(tetracycline)(1,10-phenanthroline)(H(2)O)(ClO(4))](ClO(4)) (2). These compounds exhibit a distorted tetragonal geometry around copper, which is coordinated to two bidentate ligands, 1,10-phenanthroline and tetracycline or doxycyline, a water molecule, and a perchlorate ion weakly bonded in the axial positions. In both compounds, copper(II) binds to tetracyclines`. via the oxygen of the hydroxyl group and oxygen of the amide group at ring A and to 1,10-phenanthroline via its two heterocyclic nitrogens. We have evaluated the binding of the new complexes to DNA, their capacity to cleave it, their cytotoxic activity, and uptake in tumoral cells. The complexes bind to DNA preferentially by the major groove, and then cleave its strands by an oxidative mechanism involving the generation of ROS. The cleavage of DNA was inhibited by radical inhibitors and/or trappers such as superoxide dismutase, DMSO, and the copper(I) chelator bathocuproine. The enzyme T4 DNA ligase was not able to relegate the products of DNA cleavage, which indicates that the cleavage does not occur via a hydrolytic mechanism. Both complexes present an expressive plasmid DNA cleavage activity generating single- and double-strand breaks, under mild reaction conditions, and even in the absence of any additional oxidant or reducing agent. In the same experimental conditions, [Cu(phen)(2)](2+) is approximately 100-fold less active than our complexes. These complexes are among the most potent DNA cleavage agents reported so far. Both complexes inhibit the growth of K562 cells With the IC(50) values of 1.93 and 2.59 mu mol L(-1) for compounds I and 2, respectively. The complexes are more active than the free ligands, and their cytotoxic activity correlates with intracellular copper concentration and the number of Cu-DNA adducts formed inside cells
