Zehra S, Khan HY, Roisnel T, Tabassum S, Arjmand F. Structural insights into interactions of new polymeric (μ-oxo) bridged Cu(II) complexes of taurine with yeast tRNA by spectroscopic and computational approaches and its application towards chemoresistant cancer lines. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 240:124429. [PMID: 37062375 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023]
Abstract
RNA-targeted drugs are considered as safe treatment option for the cure of many chronic diseases preventing off-targeted delivery and acute toxic manifestations. FDA has approved many such RNA therapies in different phases of clinical trials, validating their use for the treatment of various chronic diseases. We report herein, new water-soluble (μ-oxo) bridged polymeric Cu(II) complexes of taurine (2-aminoethane sulfonic acid) complexes 1 and 2. The therapeutic potency of 1 and 2 was ascertained by studying biophysical interactions with tRNA/ct-DNA. The experimental results demonstrated that the complexes interacted avidly to nucleic acids through intercalation mode depicting a specific preference for tRNA in comparison to ct-DNA and, moreover 2 showed higher binding propensity than 1. The electrophoretic behaviour of the complexes with plasmid pBR322 DNA and tRNA were examined by gel mobility assay that revealed a concentration-dependent activity with complex 2 performing more efficient cleavage as compared to complex 1. Cytotoxicity results on cancer cell strains displayed higher cytotoxicity than complex 1 against treated cancer cells. The synthesized copper(II) taurine complexes have met the basic criteria of anticancer drug design as they are structurally well-characterized, exhibiting good solubility in water, lipophilic in nature with superior intercalating propensity towards tRNA and cytotoxic in nature.

Abstract
In an attempt to propose new applications for the biomedical field, complexes with mixed ligands {[Cu(bpy)2(μ2OClO3)]ClO4}n (1) and [Cu(phen)2(OH2)](ClO4)2 (2) (bpy: 2,2'-biyridine; phen and 1,10-phenantroline) were evaluated for their antibacterial and cytotoxicicity features and for the elucidation of some of the mechanisms involved. Complex (2) proved to be a very potent antibacterial agent, exhibing MIC and MBEC values 2 to 54 times lower than those obtained for complex (1) against both susceptible or resistant Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, in planktonic or biofilm growth state. In exchange, complex (1) exhibited selective cytotoxicity against melanoma tumor cells (B16), proving a promising potential for developing novel anticancer drugs. The possible mechanisms of both antimicrobial and antitumor activity of the copper(II) complexes is their DNA intercalative ability coupled with ROS generation. The obtained results recommend the two complexes for further development as multipurpose copper-containing drugs.

Abstract
High-energy resolution fluorescence-detected Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and single-crystal polarized XAS data are presented toward refining the assignments of bands assigned as excitations from Cu 1s to ligand-localized molecular orbitals. These have been previously dubbed "XAS-metal-ligand charge transfer" (XAS-MLCT) bands. Data are presented for a series of [Cu(xbpy)2]n+ complexes (xbpy = 2,2'-bipyridine (1n+), 4,4'-bisamino-2,2'-bipyridine (2n+), and 4,4'-dimethoxy-2,2'-bipyridine (3n+); n = 1 and 2). Dipolar dependencies of these "XAS-MLCT" bands in both Cu1+ and Cu2+ species lead to reassignment of these features as owing their intensities primarily to Cu 1s → Cu 4p excitations. The transition densities are Cu-localized, highlighting that XAS-MLCT features in Cu XAS spectra are not "charge transfer" transitions but rather quasi-atomic transitions. Although scrutiny of the acceptor orbitals supports assignment as Cu 1s → ligand π* transitions, it ultimately appears that while the ligand orbital energetics govern the positions of these bands the intensity is conferred through a small degree of metal 4p mixing into otherwise ligand-dominated acceptor molecular orbitals.

Abstract
The synthesis, structural characterization, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial properties of four new complexes formed by employing acrylate anion and 2,2'-bipyridine are reported herein. X-ray crystallography revealed the trinuclear nature of [Mn₃(2,2'-bipy)₂(C₃H₃O₂)₆] (1), meanwhile complexes with general formula [M(2,2'-bipy)(C₃H₃O₂)₂(H₂O)x]∙yH₂O ((2) M: Ni, x = 1, y = 0; (3) M: Cu, x = 1, y = 0; (4) M: Zn, x = 0, y = 1; 2,2'-bipy: 2,2'-bipyridine; C₃H₃O₂: acrylate anion) were shown to be mononuclear. The lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 128 μg mL-1 was recorded for all four tested complexes against Candida albicans, for complex (3) against Escherichia coli, and for complex (4) against Staphylocococcus aureus. Compounds (3) and (4) were also potent efflux pumps activity inhibitors (EPI), proving their potential for use in synergistic combinations with antibiotics. Complexes (1)-(4) revealed that they were not cytotoxic to HCT-8 cells. They also proved to interfere with the cellular cycle of tumour HCT-8 cells by increasing the number of cells found in the S and G2/M phases. Taken together, these results demonstrate the potential of zinc and copper complexes for use in the development of novel antimicrobial and anti-proliferative agents.
