Abstract
Metallodrugs exhibiting distinct mechanisms of action compared with cisplatin hold promise for overcoming cisplatin resistance and improving the efficacy of anticancer drugs. In this study, a new series of rhodium (Rh)(III) complexes containing tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) chloride [(TPP)3RhCl] (TPP = triphenylphosphine, TPP=O = triphenylphosphine oxide) and 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives (H-XR1-H-XR4), namely [Rh(XR1)2(TPP)Cl]·(TPP=O) (Yulin Normal University-1a [YNU-1a]), [Rh(XR2)2(TPP)Cl] (YNU-1b), [Rh(XR3)2(TPP)Cl] (YNU-1c), and [Rh(XR4)2(TPP)Cl] (YNU-1d), was synthesized and characterized via X-ray diffraction, mass spectrometry and IR. The cytotoxicity of the compounds YNU-1a-YNU-1d in Hep-G2 and HCC1806 human cancer cell lines and normal HL-7702 cell line was evaluated. YNU-1c exhibited cytotoxicity and selectivity in HCC1806 cells (IC50 = 0.13 ± 0.06 μM, selectivity factor (SF) = 384.6). The compounds YNU-1b and YNU-1c, which were selected for mechanistic studies, induced the activation of apoptotic pathways and mitophagy. In addition, these compounds released cytochrome c, cleaved caspase-3/pro-caspase-3 and downregulated the levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I/IV (M1 and M4) and ATP. The compound YNU-1c, which was selected for in vivo experiments, exhibited tumor growth inhibition (58.9 %). Importantly, hematoxylin and eosin staining and TUNEL revealed that HCC1806 tumor tissues exhibited significant apoptotic characteristics. YNU-1a-YNU-1d compounds are promising drug candidates that can be used to overcome cisplatin resistance.

Abstract
The impact of isomerism of pyrimidine-based ligands and their rhodium(III) complexes with regard to their structures and properties was investigated. Two isomeric ligands, 4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2,5-diphenylpyrimidine (HL2,5) and 4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2,6-diphenylpyrimidine (HL2,6), were synthesized. The ligands differ by the degree of steric bulk: the molecular structure of HL2,5 is more distorted due to presence of pyrazolyl and phenyl groups in the neighbouring positions 4 and 5 of the pyrimidine ring. The complexation of HL2,5 and HL2,6 with RhCl3 leads to the sp2 C-H bond activation, resulting in the isolation of two complexes, [RhL2,5(Solv)Cl2]·nEtOH and [RhL2,6(Solv)Cl2]·nEtOH (Solv = H2O, EtOH), with the deprotonated forms of the pyrazolylpyrimidine molecules which coordinate the Rh3+ ion as N^N^C-tridentate ligands. According to DFT modelling, the mechanism of the deprotonation involves (i) the C-H bond breaking in the 2-phenyl group followed by the coordination of the C atom to the Rh atom, (ii) the protonation of coordinated chlorido ligand, (iii) the ejection of the HCl molecule and (iv) the coordination of the H2O molecule. The ligand isomerism has an impact on emission properties and cytotoxicity of the complexes. Although the excited states of the complexes effectively deactivate through S0/T1 and S0/S1 crossings associated with the cleavage of the weak H2O ligands upon excitation, the [RhL2,5(Solv)Cl2]·nEtOH complex appeared to be emissive in the solid state, while [RhL2,6(Solv)Cl2]·nEtOH is non-emissive at all. The complexes show significant cytotoxic activity against cancerous HepG2 and Hep2 cell lines, with the [RhL2,6(Solv)Cl2]·nEtOH complex being more active than its isomer [RhL2,5(Solv)Cl2]·nEtOH. On the other hand, noticeable cytotoxicity of the latter against HepG2 is supplemented by its non-toxicity against non-cancerous MRC-5 cells.

Eur J Med Chem 2024; 268:116295. [PMID: 38437750 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2024.116295] [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: 01/16/2024] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
This paper introduces a new ligand, 4,6-dichloro-5-(1H-imidazo [4,5-f]phenanthroline-2-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine (DPPA), and its corresponding new iridium(III) complexes: [Ir(ppy)2(DPPA)](PF6) (2a) (where ppy represents deprotonated 2-phenylpyridine), [Ir(bzq)2(DPPA)](PF6) (2b) (with bzq indicating deprotonated benzo[h]quinoline), and [Ir(piq)2(DPPA)](PF6) (2c) (piq denoting deprotonated 1-phenylisoquinoline). The cytotoxic effects of both DPPA and 2a, 2b, and 2c were evaluated against human lung carcinoma A549, melanoma B16, colorectal cancer HCT116, human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cancer cell lines, as well as the non-cancerous LO2 cell line using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method. While DPPA exhibited moderate anticancer activity toward A549, B16, HCT116 and HepG2 cells, complexes 2a, 2b, and 2c displayed remarkable efficacy against A549, B16, and HCT116 cells. The cell colonies and wound healing were investigated. Moreover, various aspects of the anticancer mechanisms were explored. The cell cycle analyses revealed that the complexes block cell proliferation of A549 cells during the S phase. Complex 2c induce an early apoptosis, while 2a and 2b cause a late apoptosis. The interaction of 2a, 2b and 2c with endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria was identified, leading to elevated ROS and Ca2+ amounts. This resulted in a reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening, and an increase of cytochrome c. Also, ferroptosis was investigated through measurements of intracellular glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), and recombinant glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) protein expression. The pyroptosis was explored via cell morphology, release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and expression of pyroptosis-related proteins. RNA sequencing was applied to examine the signaling pathways. Western blot analyses illuminated that the complexes regulate the expression of Bcl-2 family proteins. Additionally, an in vivo antitumor study demonstrated that complex 2c exhibited a remarkable inhibitory rate of 58.58% in restraining tumor growth. In summary, the findings collectively suggest that the iridium(III) complexes induce cell death via ferroptosis, apoptosis by a ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathway and GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis.

Abstract
Organometallic half-sandwich complexes [(η5-Cp)IrCl(L)]PF6 (1) and [(η5-Cp)RhCl(L)]PF6 (2) were prepared using pentamethylcyclopentadienyl chloride dimers of iridium(III) or rhodium(III) with the 4-amino-N-(2,2'-bipyridin-5-yl)benzenesulfonamide ligand (L) and ammonium hexafluorophosphate. The crystal structures of L, 1, and 2 were analyzed in detail. The coordination reactions of the ligand with the central ions were confirmed using various spectroscopic techniques. Additionally, the interactions between sulfaligand, Ir(III), and Rh(III) complexes with carbonic anhydrase (CA), human serum albumin (HSA), and CT-DNA were investigated. The iridium(III) complex (1) did not show any antiproliferative properties against four different cancer cell lines, i.e., nonsmall cell lung cancer A549, colon cancer HCT-116, breast cancer MCF7, lymphoblastic leukemia Nalm-6, and a nonmalignant human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293, due to high binding affinity to GSH. The sulfonamide ligand (L) and rhodium(III) complex (2) were further studied. L showed competitive inhibition toward CA, while complexes 1 and 2, uncompetitive. All compounds interacted with HSA, causing a conformational change in the protein's α-helical structure, suggesting the induction of a more open conformation in HSA, reducing its biological activity. Both L and 2 were found to induce cell death through a caspase-dependent pathway. These findings position L and 2 as potential starting compounds for pharmaceutical, therapeutic, or medicinal research.

Abstract
The synthesis and biological assessment of neutral or cationic platinum group metal-based anticancer complexes have been extremely studied, whereas there are few reports on the corresponding zwitterionic complexes. Herein, the synthesis, characterization, and bioactivity of zwitterionic half-sandwich phosphine-imine iridium(III), rhodium(III), and ruthenium(II) complexes were presented. The sulfonated phosphine-imine ligand and a group of zwitterionic half-sandwich P,N-chelating organometallic complexes were fully characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrum (electrospray ionization, ESI), elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The solution stability of these complexes and their spectral properties were also determined. Notably, almost all of these complexes showed enhanced anticancer activity against model HeLa and A549 cancer cells than the corresponding zwitterionic pyridyl-imine N,N-chelating iridium(III) and ruthenium(II) complexes, which have exhibited inactive or low active in our previous work. The increase in the lipophilic property and intracellular uptake levels of these zwitterionic P,N-chelating complexes appeared to be associated with their superior cytotoxicity. In addition, these complexes showed biomolecular interactions with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The flow cytometry studies indicated that the representative complex Ir1 could induce early-stage apoptosis in A549 cells. Further, confocal microscopy imaging analysis displayed that Ir1 entered A549 cells through the energy-dependent pathway, targeted lysosome, and could cause lysosomal damage. In particular, these complexes could impede cell migration in A549 cells.

Abstract
Herein, we present the different coordination modes of half-sandwich iridium(III) and rhodium(III) complexes based on pyridine-amine ligands. The pyridyl-amine iridium(III) and rhodium(III) complexes, the corresponding oxidation pyridyl-imine products, and 16-electron pyridyl-amido complexes can be obtained through the change in reaction conditions (nitrogen/adventitious oxygen atmosphere, reaction time, and solvents) and structural variations in the metal and ligand. Overall, the reaction of pyridine-amine ligands with [(η5-C5(CH3)5)MCl2]2 (M = Ir or Rh) in the presence of adventitious oxygen afforded the oxidized pyridyl-imine complexes. The possible mechanism for the oxidation of iridium(III) and rhodium(III) amine complexes was confirmed by the detection of the byproduct hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the formation of pyridyl-amine complexes was favored when nonpolar solvent CH2Cl2 was used instead of CH3OH. The rarely reported complex with [(η5-Cp*)IrCl3] anions can also be obtained without the addition of NH4PF6. The introduction of the sterically bulky i-Bu group on the bridge carbon of the ligand led to the formation of stable 16-electron pyridyl-amido complexes. The pyridyl-amine iridium(III) and rhodium(III) complexes were also synthesized under a N2 atmosphere, and no H2O2 was detected in the whole process. In particular, the aqueous solution stability and in vitro cytotoxicity toward A549 and HeLa human cancer cells of these complexes were also evaluated. No obvious selectivity was observed for cancer cells versus normal cells with these complexes. Notably, the represented complex 5a can promote an increase in the reactive oxygen species level and induce cell death via apoptosis.
