Abstract
Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, erbB1) has been observed in a wide range of solid tumors and has frequently been associated with poor prognosis. As a result, EGFR inhibition has become an attractive anticancer drug design strategy, and a large number of small molecular inhibitors have been developed. Despite the widespread clinical use of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), their drug resistance, inadequate accumulation in tumors, and severe side effects have spurred the search for better antitumor drugs. Metal complexes have attracted much attention because of their different mechanisms compared with EGFR-TKIs. Therefore, the combination of metals and inhibitors is a promising anticancer strategy. For example, Ru and Pt centers are introduced to design complexes with double or multiple targets, while Au complexes are combined with inhibitors to overcome drug resistance. Co complexes are designed as prodrugs with weak side effects and enhanced targeting by the hypoxia activation strategy, and other metals such as Rh and Fe enhance the anticancer effect of the complexes. In addition, the introduction of Ga center is beneficial to the development of nuclear imaging tracers. In this paper, metal EGFR-TKI complexes in the last 15 years are reviewed, their mechanisms are briefly introduced, and their advantages are summarized.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer in the world, with the second highest incidence rate after lung cancer. Oxaliplatin (OXA) is a broad-spectrum anti-tumor agent with significant therapeutic efficacy in colorectal cancer, and as a divalent platinum analog, it is not selective in its distribution in the body and has systemic toxicity with continued use. Interleukin-12 (IL12) is an immunostimulatory cytokine with cytokine monotherapy that has made advances in the fight against cancer, limiting the clinical use of cytokines due to severe toxicity. Here, we introduced a long alkyl chain and N-methyl-2,2-diaminodiethylamine to the ligand of OXA to obtain OXA-LIP, which effectively reduces its toxicity and improves the uptake of the drug by tumor cells. We successfully constructed IL12 mRNA and used LNPs to deliver IL12 mRNA, and in vivo pharmacodynamic studies demonstrated that OXA-LIP combined with IL12 mRNA had better tumor inhibition and higher biosafety. In addition, it was investigated by pharmacokinetic experiments that the OXA-LIP drug could accumulate in nude mice at the tumor site, which prolonged the half-life and enhanced the anti-tumor efficiency of OXA. It is hoped that these results will provide an important reference for the subsequent research and development of OXA-LIP with IL12 mRNA, as well as provide new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of colon cancer.

Abstract
Platinum-based drugs are widely used in chemotherapy for various types of cancer and are considered crucial. Tetravalent platinum (Pt(IV)) compounds have gained significant attention and have been extensively researched among these drugs. Traditionally, Pt(IV) compounds are reduced to divalent platinum (Pt(II)) after entering cells, causing DNA lesions and exhibiting their anti-tumor effect. However, the available evidence indicates that some Pt(IV) derivatives may differ from the traditional mechanism and exert their anti-tumor effect through their overall structure. This review primarily focuses on the existing literature regarding targeted Pt(II) and Pt(IV) compounds, with a specific emphasis on their in vivo mode of action and the properties of reduction release in multifunctional Pt(IV) compounds. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the design and synthesis strategies employed for Pt(II) derivatives that selectively target various enzymes (glucose receptor, folate, telomerase, etc.) or substances (mitochondria, oleic acid, etc.). Furthermore, it thoroughly examines and summarizes the rational design, anti-tumor mechanism of action, and reductive release capacity of novel multifunctional Pt(IV) compounds, such as those targeting p53-MDM2, COX-2, lipid metabolism, dual drugs, and drug delivery systems. Finally, this review aims to provide theoretical support for the rational design and development of new targeted Pt(IV) compounds.

Abstract
Mitophagy, a selective autophagic process, has emerged as a pathway involved in degrading dysfunctional mitochondria. Herein, new platinum(II)-based chemotherapeutics with mitophagy-targeting properties are proposed. Four novel binuclear anticancer Pt(II) complexes with 4'-substituted-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine derivatives (tpy1-tpy4), i.e., [Pt2(tpy1)(DMSO)2Cl4]·CH3OH (tpy1Pt), [Pt(tpy2)Cl][Pt(DMSO)Cl3]·CH3COCH3 (tpy2Pt), [Pt(tpy3)Cl][Pt(DMSO)Cl3] (tpy3Pt), and [Pt(tpy4)Cl]Cl·CH3OH (tpy4Pt), were designed and prepared. Moreover, their potential antitumor mechanism was studied. Tpy1Pt-tpy4Pt exhibited more selective cytotoxicity against cisplatin-resistant SK-OV-3/DDP (SKO3cisR) cancer cells compared with those against ovarian SK-OV-3 (SKO3) cancer cells and normal HL-7702 liver (H702) cells. This selective cytotoxicity of Tpy1Pt-tpy4Pt was better than that of its ligands (i.e., tpy1-tpy4), the clinical drug cisplatin, and cis-Pt(DMSO)2Cl2. The results of various experiments indicated that tpy1Pt and tpy2Pt kill SKO3cisR cancer cells via a mitophagy pathway, which involves the disruption of the mitophagy-related protein expression, dissipation of the mitochondrial membrane potential, elevation of the [Ca2+] and reactive oxygen species levels, promotion of mitochondrial DNA damage, and reduction in the adenosine triphosphate and mitochondrial respiratory chain levels. Furthermore, in vivo experiments indicated that the dinuclear anticancer Pt(II) coordination compound (tpy1Pt) has remarkable therapeutic efficiency (ca. 52.4%) and almost no toxicity. Therefore, the new 4'-substituted-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine Pt(II) coordination compound (tpy1Pt) is a potential candidate for next-generation mitophagy-targeting dinuclear Pt(II)-based anticancer drugs.

[PMID: 38257327 PMCID: PMC10820496 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Due to the versatile bioreactivity of aroyldihydrazone complexes as cost-effective alternatives with different transition metals, two novel bimetallic homo-complexes (VOLph and CuLph) were prepared via the coordination of a terephthalic dihydrazone diisatin ligand (H2Lph) with VO2+ and Cu2+ ions, respectively. The structure elucidation was confirmed by alternative spectral methods. Biologically, the H2Lph ligand and its MLph complexes (M2+ = VO2+ or Cu2+) were investigated as antimicrobial and anticancer agents. Their biochemical activities towards ctDNA (calf thymus DNA) were estimated using measurable titration viscometrically and spectrophotometrically, as well as the gel electrophoresis technique. The growth inhibition of both VOLph and CuLph complexes against microbial and cancer cells was measured, and the inhibition action, MIC, and IC50 were compared to the inhibition action of the free H2Lph ligand. Both VOLph and CuLph showed remarkable interactive binding with ctDNA compared to the free ligand H2Lph, based on Kb = 16.31, 16.04 and 12.41 × 107 mol-1 dm3 and ΔGb≠ = 47.11, -46.89, and -44.05 kJ mol-1 for VOLph, CuLph, and H2Lph, respectively, due to the central metal ion (VIVO and CuII ions). VOLph (with a higher oxidation state of the V4+ ion and oxo-ligand) exhibited enhanced interaction with the ctDNA molecule compared to CuLph, demonstrating the role and type of the central metal ion within the performed electronegative and electrophilic characters.

Abstract
Two novel divalent bimetallic complexes were constructed from the complexation of O=V4+ and Zn2+ ions (VOL and ZnL), respectively, with diisatin oxalyldihydrazone ligand (H2L). Various spectroscopic tools were used to confirm their chemical structures (FT-IR, NMR, EI-Mass, and electronic spectra), besides, elemental analyses and conductivity features. To estimate the role of divalent metal ions in their coordination compound for developing their bio-reactivity, the free ligand H2Lox, and its complexes (VOL and ZnL) were employed spectroscopic investigations against the growth of some microbial series (fungi and bacteria) and also against three human cancer/normal cells. Furthermore, their interaction behavior against calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) was studied through viscometric and spectrophotometric studies to discover the role of O=V4+ and Zn2+ ions to determine the mode of binding with ctDNA. The inhibiting effect of H2L, VOL, and ZnL versus the titled microbial (bacterial and fungal) was built upon their inhibited zone areas in mm and the MIC concentrations in μM. Their action against the three human cancer cells' growth was evaluated by IC50 values in μM and the selectivity index in percentage. Both VOL and ZnL complexes exhibited an amazing series with three human cancer cell growth (according to the zone values in mm of inhibition, MIC in μM, and IC50 values in μM) compared to those of their uncoordinated H2L ligand. VOL demonstrated a distinguished interacting behavior with ctDNA more than that interaction of ZnL depending on the variation of the central metal ion chemical features. Within the covalent and non-covalent interaction modes, the interaction binding between H2L, VOL, and ZnL with ctDNA was discussed based on the electronic spectroscopic observation.

Abstract
Platinum anticancer drugs have been explored and developed in recent years to reduce systematic toxicities and resist drug resistance. Polysaccharides derived from nature have abundant structures as well as pharmacological activities. The review provides insights on the design, synthesis, characterization and associating therapeutic application of platinum complexes with polysaccharides that are classified by electronic charge. The complexes give birth to multifunctional properties with enhanced drug accumulation, improved tumor selectivity and achieved synergistic antitumor effect in cancer therapy. Several techniques developing polysaccharides-based carriers newly are also discussed. Moreover, the lasted immunoregulatory activities of innate immune reactions triggered by polysaccharides are summarized. Finally, we discuss the current shortcomings and outline potential strategies for improving platinum-based personalized cancer treatment. Using platinum-polysaccharides complexes for improving the immunotherapy efficiency represents a promising framework in future.

Abstract
CpG and its cytosine-methylated counterpart (5mCpG) are a unique reversible pair of sequences in regulating the expression of genes epigenetically. As DNA is the potential target of Pt-based anticancer metallodrugs, herein, we comparatively investigate the interactions of 5'-CpG and 5'-5mCpG with a photoactivatable anticancer Pt(IV) prodrug, trans,trans,trans-[PtIV(N3)2(OH)2(py)2] (1; py = pyridine), to explore the effects of methylation on the platination and ROS-induced oxidation of the CpG motif. Mono-platinated dinucleotides were demonstrated by ESI-MS to be the main products for both 5'-CpG and 5'-5mCpG with the bound Pt moiety as [PtII(N3)(py)2] generated by the photodecomposition of complex 1 under irradiation with blue light, accompanied by the formation of less abundant di-platinated adducts. G-N7 and C-N3/5mC-N3 were shown to be the major and minor platination sites, respectively, with G-N1 as the third and weakest platination site, in particular, in di-platinated products. Moreover, platinated dinucleotides associated with guanine and/or cytosine oxidation were also observed. Apart from 8-oxo-guanine (oxG) and N-formylamidoiminohydantoin (RedSp) reported previously, novel oxidation adducts 5-guanidinohydantoin (Gh) derived from guanine and 1-carbamoyl-4,5-dihydroxy-2-oxoimidazolidine (ImidCyt) derived from cytosine in CpG, and diimino imidazole (DIz) and 2,5-diaminoimidazol-4-one (imidazolone, Iz) derived from guanine and Imid5mCyt derived from 5mC in 5mCpG were proposed according to MS information. These results showed that methylation exerted little effects on the platination modes of CpG, but triggered distinct oxidation pathways of CpG, perhaps causing discriminated DNA damage to CpG-rich genes. This work provides novel insights into the role of the anticancer photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrug through damaging the epigenetically modified DNA sequences.

Abstract
Photoactivatable Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs with the structure of [PtIV(N1)(N2)(L1)(L2)(A1)(A2)], where N1 and N2 are non-leaving nitrogen donor ligands, L1 and L2 are leaving ligands, and A1 and A2 are axial ligands, have attracted increasing attention due to their promising photo-cytotoxicity even to cisplatin-resistant cancer cells. These photochemotherapeutic prodrugs have high dark-stability under physiological conditions, while they can be activated by visible light restrained at the disease areas, as a consequence showing higher spatial and temporal controllability and much more safety than conventional chemotherapy. The coordinated ligands to the Pt center have been proved to be pivotal in determining the function and activity of the photoactivatable Pt(IV) prodrugs. In this review, we will focus on the development of the coordinated ligands in such Pt(IV) prodrugs and discuss the effects of diverse ligands on their photochemistry and photoactivity as well as the future evolution directions of the ligands. We hope this review can help to facilitate the design and development of novel photoactivatable Pt(IV) anticancer prodrugs.

Development of Photoremovable Linkers as a Novel Strategy to Improve the Pharmacokinetics of Drug Conjugates and Their Potential Application in Antibody–Drug Conjugates for Cancer Therapy. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15060655. [PMID: 35745573 PMCID: PMC9230074 DOI: 10.3390/ph15060655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Although there have been extensive research and progress on the discovery of anticancer drug over the years, the application of these drugs as stand-alone therapy has been limited by their off-target toxicities, poor pharmacokinetic properties, and low therapeutic index. Targeted drug delivery, especially drug conjugate, has been recognized as a technology that can bring forth a new generation of therapeutics with improved efficacy and reduced side effects for cancer treatment. The linker in a drug conjugate is of essential importance because it impacts the circulation time of the conjugate and the release of the drug for full activity at the target site. Recently, the light-triggered linker has attracted a lot of attention due to its spatiotemporal controllability and attractive prospects of improving the overall pharmacokinetics of the conjugate. In this paper, the latest developments of UV- and IR-triggered linkers and their application and potential in drug conjugate development are reviewed. Some of the most-well-researched photoresponsive structural moieties, such as UV-triggered coumarin, ortho-nitrobenzyl group (ONB), thioacetal ortho-nitrobenzaldehyde (TNB), photocaged C40-oxidized abasic site (PC4AP), and IR-triggered cyanine and BODIPY, are included for discussion. These photoremovable linkers show better physical and chemical stabilities and can undergo rapid cleavage upon irradiation. Very importantly, the drug conjugates containing these linkers exhibit reduced off-target toxicity and overall better pharmacokinetic properties. The progress on photoactive antibody–drug conjugates, such as antibody–drug conjugates (ADC) and antibody–photoabsorber conjugate (APC), as precision medicine in clinical cancer treatment is highlighted.

[PMID: 35083137 PMCID: PMC8784384 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.749178] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
The geometric structure of azido Pt(IV) compounds containing picoline was calculated by using density functional theory(DFT) at the LSDA/SDD level. The ESP distribution shows the possible reaction sites of the compounds. In addition, the frequency calculation results assigned the infrared spectra of these compounds, and specified important stretching and bending vibrations. The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps of these compounds are also calculated to explain the charge transfer of the molecules. The distribution of Mulliken charges and natural atomic charges of these atoms is also calculated. Natural bond orbital(NBO) analysis explains the intramolecular interactions and their electron density.
