Abstract
Bivalent copper complexes, [Cu(SB1 )2 ] 1 (SB1 =(2-(4-methylbenzylimino)methyl)-5-methylphenol, [Cu(SB2 )2 ] 2 (SB2 =(2-(4-methylbenzylimino)methyl)-4-bromolphenol), and [Cu(SB3 )2 ] 3 (SB3 =(2-(4-methylbenzylimino)methyl)-4,6-dibromophenol) were synthesized using the Schiff bases prepared from 4-methylbenzylamine (p-tolylmethanamine). These were characterized using a variety of spectro-analytical methods. For all copper complexes, a square planar geometry was determined through spectral analyses. Utilizing molecular orbital energies, the stability of the copper complexes was calculated from quantum chemical characteristics. The kinetic and thermal degradation parameters were calculated from the thermograms. Studies on DNA binding interactions, such as UV absorption and emission, have shown that the manner of DNA binding is intercalative, and the binding constant (Kb ) order is 3>2>1. Under oxidative and photolytic techniques, the copper complexes outperform the parent Schiff bases in their ability to cleave double-stranded pBR322 DNA. When tested for cytotoxicity on the KB3 and MCF7 cell lines, complexes displayed greater activity than their parent ligands. Studies on the complexes' in-vitro antibacterial and antioxidant activity showed that they are significantly more powerful than the parent ligands.

Abstract
Novel three nickel(II) complexes of type [Ni(metf)(o-phen)2]Cl2 (1), [Ni(metf)(opda)2]Cl2 (2), [Ni(metf)(2-2'bipy)2]Cl2 (3), (Metf = metformin, o-phen = ortho-phenanthroline, opda = ortho-phenylenediamine, 2-2' bipy = 2-2' bipyridyl) were synthesized and characterized by various analytical and spectral techniques. Based on these studies, octahedral geometry is assigned to these complexes. The DNA binding properties of these complexes were investigated by absorption, emission, and viscosity studies. From the spectral data, it was concluded that the complexes bind to DNA through groove mode of binding. The intrinsic binding constants (Kb) from absorption spectroscopy were 1.60 × 104, 3.57 × 104, and 5.70 × 104 M-1 for 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and Stern-Volmer quenching constants (Ksv) from emission spectroscopy were 0.11, 0.87, and 0.24, respectively. Thermal degradation pattern of the compounds was studied and Coats-Redfern method is used to determine kinetic parameters for complexes 1, 2, and 3 from thermal studies. The software Discovery Studio 2.1 was used to assess the binding affinity and interaction pattern of complexes with the B-DNA receptor protein and complex 1 has the highest dock score.

Abstract
Metformin is a widely prescribed medication for the treatment and management of type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of biguanides, which are characterized by a wide range of diverse biological properties, including anticancer, antimicrobial, antimalarial, cardioprotective and other activities. It is known that biguanides serve as excellent N-donor bidentate ligands and readily form complexes with virtually all transition metals. Recent evidence suggests that the mechanism of action of metformin and its analogues is linked to their metal-binding properties. These findings prompted us to summarize the existing data on the synthetic strategies and biological properties of various metal complexes with metformin and its analogues. We demonstrated that coordination of biologically active biguanides to various metal centers often resulted in an improved pharmacological profile, including reduced drug resistance as well as a wider spectrum of activity. In addition, coordination to the redox-active metal centers, such as Au(III), allowed for various activatable strategies, leading to the selective activation of the prodrugs and reduced off-target toxicity.

Abstract
Novel three water-soluble cobalt (II) complexes of type [Co(metf)(o-phen)2]Cl2 (1), [Co(metf)(opda)2]Cl2 (2), and [Co(metf)(2-2'bipy)2]Cl2 (3) (Metf, metformin; o-phen, ortho-phenanthroline; opda, ortho-phenylenediamine; 2,2'-bipy, 2,2'-bipyridine) were synthesized and characterized by various analytical and spectral techniques. Based on these studies, octahedral geometry is assigned to these complexes. The stability of the complexes has been calculated from quantum chemical parameters using HOMO-LUMO energies. Thermal degradation pattern of the compounds was studied and Coats-Redfern method is used to determine kinetic parameters for complexes 1, 2, and 3 from thermal studies. The DNA interaction of these complexes was investigated by absorption, emission, and viscosity studies. From the spectral data, it was concluded that the complexes bind to DNA through groove mode of binding. The intrinsic binding constants (Kb) from absorption spectroscopy were 2.49 × 104, 2.48 × 104, and 2.64 × 104 M-1 for 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and Stern-Volmer quenching constants (Ksv) from emission spectroscopy were 0.21, 0.20, and 0.13, respectively. These complexes were screened for nuclease activity of pUC19 DNA, in the presence of H2O2. Discovery studio 2.1 software was used to evaluate binding affinity and interaction pattern of complexes with B-DNA receptor protein and the maximum dock score is seen for complex 2.

Unraveling the binding mechanism of an Oxovanadium(IV) - Curcumin complex on albumin, DNA and DNA gyrase by in vitro and in silico studies and evaluation of its hemocompatibility. J Inorg Biochem 2021; 221:111402. [PMID: 33975249 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2021.111402] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2020] [Revised: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
An oxovanadium(IV) - curcumin based complex, viz. [VO(cur)(2,2´-bipy)(H2O)] where cur is curcumin and bipy is bipyridine, previously synthesized, has been studied for interaction with albumin and DNA. Fluorescence emission spectroscopy was used to evaluate the interaction of the complex with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the BSA-binding constant (Kb) was calculated to be 2.56 x 105 M-1, whereas a single great-affinity binding site was revealed. Moreover, the hemocompatibility test demonstrated that the complex presented low hemolytic fraction (mostly below 1%), in all concentrations tested (0-250 μΜ of complex, 5% DMSO) assuring a safe application in interaction with blood. The binding of the complex to DNA was also investigated using absorption, fluorescence, and viscometry methods indicating a binding through a minor groove mode. From competitive studies with ethidium bromide the apparent binding constant value to DNA was estimated to be 4.82 x 106 M-1. Stern-Volmer quenching phenomenon gave a ΚSV constant [1.92 (± 0.05) x 104 M-1] and kq constant [8.33 (± 0.2) x 1011 M-1s-1]. Molecular docking simulations on the crystal structure of BSA, calf thymus DNA, and DNA gyrase, as well as pharmacophore analysis for BSA target, were also employed to study in silico the ability of [VO(cur)(2,2´-bipy)(H2O)] to bind to these target bio-macromolecules and explain the observed in vitro activity.
