A comprehensive review on the development of chiral Cu, Ni, and Zn complexes as pharmaceutical agents over the past decades: Synthesis, molecular structure and biological activity. Med Res Rev 2025; 45:654-754. [PMID: 39297288 DOI: 10.1002/med.22083] [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: 08/26/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 08/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2025]
Abstract
Chirality is a fundamental and widespread geometric structural property in living organisms that most biomacromolecules including nucleic acids, proteins and enzymes, possess. Consequently, the development of chiral drugs capable of binding specific targets have gradually gained wide attention in recent decades due to their selective effects on a broad spectrum of biological events ranging from cell metabolism to cell fate. In this context, the synthesis of chiral compounds as promising therapeutic candidates has assumed a major role in drug discovery. Among them, chiral metal complexes have attracted considerable interest due to their unique and intriguing structural features that could enable overcoming side effects and drug-resistance phenomena of metal-based drugs currently in the market such as cisplatin. In the current scenario, an in-depth overview of non-platinum chiral complexes needs to be presented and carried forward. Therefore, in this perspective article, an update of the scientific development of bioactive chiral copper, zinc and nickel complexes have been reported since they have not been thoroughly reviewed so far. Specifically, we focused the article mainly on metal complexes containing chiral ligands (type 2 chirality) as in literature they are more numerous than those with chirality at the metal center (type 1 chirality). Herein, not only their biological activity but also their mechanism of action is summarized. Furthermore, in the final section of the article we have highlighted copper-based complexes as those with a superior biological activity profile and greater prospects for development as a drug.

Abstract
Fenamates as classical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents are widely used for relieving pain. Preclinical studies and epidemiological data highlight their chemo-preventive and chemotherapeutic potential for cancer. However, comprehensive reviews of fenamates in cancer are limited. To accelerate the repurposing of fenamates, this review summarizes the results of fenamates alone or in combination with existing chemotherapeutic agents. This paper also explores targets of fenamates in cancer therapy, including COX, AKR family, AR, gap junction, FTO, TEAD, DHODH, TAS2R14, ion channels, and DNA. Besides, this paper discusses other mechanisms, such as regulating Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β, p38 MAPK, and NF-κB pathway, and the regulation of the expressions of Sp, EGR-1, NAG-1, ATF-3, ErbB2, AR, as well as the modulation of the tumor immune microenvironment. Furthermore, this paper outlined the structural modifications of fenamates, highlighting their potential as promising leads for anticancer drugs.

Abstract
After the discovery of cisplatin, many metal compounds were investigated for the therapy of diseases, especially cancer. The high therapeutic potential of metal-based compounds is related to the special properties of these compounds, such as their redox activity and ability to target vital biological sites. The overproduction of ROS and the consequent destruction of the membrane potential of mitochondria and/or the DNA helix is one of the known pathways leading to the induction of apoptosis by metal complexes. The apoptosis process can occur via the death receptor pathway and/or the mitochondrial pathway. The expression of Bcl2 proteins and the caspase family play critical roles in these pathways. In addition to apoptosis, autophagy is another process that regulates the suppression or promotion of various cancers through a dual action. On the other hand, the ability to interact with DNA is an important property found in several metal complexes with potent antiproliferative effects against cancer cells. These interactions were classified into two important categories: covalent/coordinated or subtle, and non-coordinated interactions. The anticancer activity of metal complexes is sometimes achieved by the simultaneous combination of several mechanisms. In this review, the anticancer effect of metal complexes is mechanistically discussed by different pathways, and some effective agents on their antiproliferative properties are explained.

Abstract
Three silver(I) dipeptide complexes [Ag(GlyGly)]n(NO3)n (AgGlyGly), [Ag2(GlyAla)(NO3)2]n (AgGlyAla) and [Ag2(HGlyAsp)(NO3)]n (AgGlyAsp) were prepared, investigated and characterized by vibrational spectroscopy (mid-IR), elemental and thermogravimetric analysis and mass spectrometry. For AgGlyGly, X-ray crystallography was also performed. Their stability in biological testing media was verified by time-dependent NMR measurements. Their in vitro antimicrobial activity was evaluated against selected pathogenic microorganisms. Moreover, the influence of silver(I) dipeptide complexes on microbial film formation was described. Further, the cytotoxicity of the complexes against selected cancer cells (BLM, MDA-MB-231, HeLa, HCT116, MCF-7 and Jurkat) and fibroblasts (BJ-5ta) using a colorimetric MTS assay was tested, and the selectivity index (SI) was identified. The mechanism of action of Ag(I) dipeptide complexes was elucidated and discussed by the study in terms of their binding affinity toward the CT DNA, the ability to cleave the DNA and the ability to influence numbers of cells within each cell cycle phase. The new silver(I) dipeptide complexes are able to bind into DNA by noncovalent interaction, and the topoisomerase I inhibition study showed that the studied complexes inhibit its activity at a concentration of 15 μM.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of one coordination polymer and two trinuclear complexes are presented. The coordination polymer [Zn2(µ-O,O'-ACA)2(ACA)2(4-Phpy)2]n (1) has been obtained by the reaction between Zn(OAc)2·2H2O, α-acetamidocinnamic acid (HACA), and 4-phenylpyridine (4-Phpy) using EtOH as solvent. Its recrystallization in CH3CN or EtOH yields two trinuclear complexes, both having pinwheel arrays with formulas [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(4-Phpy)2]·4CH3CN (2·4CH3CN) and [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(EtOH)2]·4EtOH (3·4EtOH), respectively. These trinuclear species, unavoidably lose their solvent co-crystallized molecules at RT yielding the complexes [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(4-Phpy)2] (2) and [Zn3(µ-ACA)6(EtOH)2] (3). In addition, compound 2 has also been obtained reacting Zn(OAc)2·2H2O, HACA, and 4-Phpy in a 1:2:2 ratio using CH3CN as solvent. Compounds 1-3 have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. Furthermore, single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction method for compounds 1, 2·4CH3CN, and 3·4EtOH were obtained and their supramolecular interactions have been studied and discussed, showing 2D supramolecular planes for the trinuclear complexes and a 3D supramolecular network for the coordination polymer. Finally, the supramolecular interactions of 2·4CH3CN and 3·4EtOH have been compared using Hirshfeld surface analysis and electrostatic potential calculations.

Two isostructural Co(II) flufenamato and niflumato complexes with bathocuproine: Analogues with a different cytotoxic activity. J Inorg Biochem 2020; 210:111160.

Abstract
Two novel Co(II) fenamato complexes containing bathocuproine (bcp), namely [Co(bcp)(flu)2] (1) and [Co(bcp)(nif)2] (2) (flu = flufenamato, nif = niflumato) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray structure analysis as well as absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. Investigation of their molecular structure revealed that both complexes are isostructural and form analogous complex molecules, with a Co(II) atom hexacoordinated by two nitrogen atoms of bcp and four oxygen atoms of two chelate bonded flu (1) and nif (2) ligands in a distorted octahedral arrangement. Surprisingly, the results of cytotoxicity experiments on four cancer cell lines (HeLa, HT-29, PC-3 and MCF-7) have revealed that despite similar structure of the complexes, the nif complex exhibits significantly higher activity, being the most effective against the PC-3 cell line (IC50 (MTT) = 6.11 ± 1.95 μM). Further studies performed on PC-3 cell line have shown that the mechanism of the cytotoxic action of nif complex (2) might involve activation of autophagic processes and apoptosis, while for its flu analogue (1) apoptosis was detected.

Abstract
New cyclam derivatives (HOCH2 CH2 CH2 )2 (PhCH2 )2 Cyclam and (HOCH2 CH2 CH2 )2 ( 4 - CF 3 PhCH2 )2 Cyclam, as well as their CuII and FeIII complexes, were synthesized and characterized and their stability in cellular media was assessed. The cytotoxic effect of all compounds was examined on human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells, revealing strong anticancer activity. After 24 h, only complexes with the (HOCH2 CH2 CH2 )2 ( 4 - CF 3 PhCH2 )2 Cyclam ligand are cytotoxic, whereas after incubation for 72 h all compounds show significant antiproliferative effects. Notably, compounds containing 4 - CF 3 PhCH2 pendant arms on the cyclam ring revealed the most activity, with cytotoxicity values up to 12 times higher than those of cisplatin. All metal complexes seem to induce cell death through the formation of reactive oxygen species.

Silver pyridine-2-sulfonate complex - its characterization, DNA binding, topoisomerase I inhibition, antimicrobial and anticancer response. J Inorg Biochem 2018; 186:206-216.

Abstract
In the current study the ability of silver pyridine-2-sulfonate complex to exert multiple biological activities is compared with the pharmacological action of silver sulfadiazine (AgSD). Polymeric form of {[Ag(py-2-SO3)]}n (AgPS) was synthesized and characterized by analytical techniques (IR, CHN, TG/DTA, MS) and its molecular formula was established. The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method and the polymeric complex crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The stability of Ag(I) complex was verified by 1H and 13C NMR measurements and the interaction with calf thymus DNA through UV-VIS and fluorescence quenching experiments was studied. The Ag(I) complex was able to interact with DNA by dual binding mode: partial intercalation along groove binding. The binding constants were calculated to be in the order of 103 M-1. Topoisomerase I inhibition study have shown that silver complex is inhibiting its activity at concentration of 30 μM. The cytotoxic activity of AgPS and AgSD against mouse leukaemia L1210 S, R and T cell line was also evaluated. AgPS showed higher cytotoxicity than AgSD after 48 h incubation. The results suggest that mechanism of cell death is necrosis with a contribution of late apoptosis. Antimicrobial testing indicates higher growth inhibition effect of AgPS with comparison to commercially available AgSD.
