Synthesis of 2-Amino- N'-aroyl(het)arylhydrazides, DNA Photocleavage, Molecular Docking and Cytotoxicity Studies against Melanoma CarB Cell Lines. Molecules 2024; 29:647. [PMID: 38338390 PMCID: PMC10856246 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030647] [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: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Diacylhydrazine bridged anthranilic acids with aryl and heteroaryl domains have been synthesized as the open flexible scaffold of arylamide quinazolinones in order to investigate flexibility versus rigidity towards DNA photocleavage and sensitivity. Most of the compounds have been synthesized via the in situ formation of their anthraniloyl chloride and subsequent reaction with the desired hydrazide and were obtained as precipitates, in moderate yields. All compounds showed high UV-A light absorption and are eligible for DNA photocleavage studies under this "harmless" irradiation. Despite their reduced UV-B light absorption, a first screening indicated the necessity of a halogen at the p-position in relation to the amine group and the lack of an electron-withdrawing group on the aryl group. These characteristics, in general, remained under UV-A light, rendering these compounds as a novel class of UV-A-triggered DNA photocleavers. The best photocleaver, the compound 9, was active at concentrations as low as 2 μΜ. The 5-Nitro-anthranilic derivatives were inactive, giving the opposite results to their related rigid quinazolinones. Molecular docking studies with DNA showed possible interaction sites, whereas cytotoxicity experiments indicated the iodo derivative 17 as a potent cytotoxic agent and the compound 9 as a slight phototoxic compound.

Abstract
The photoreactions of selected styrylpyridine derivatives to the corresponding benzo[c]quinolizinium ions are described. It is shown that these reactions are more efficient in aqueous solution (97-44%) than in organic solvents (78-20% in MeCN). The quinolizinium derivatives bind to DNA by intercalation with binding constants of 6-11 × 104 M-1, as shown by photometric and fluorimetric titrations as well as by CD- and LD-spectroscopic analyses. These ligand-DNA complexes can also be established in situ upon irradiation of the styrylpyridines and formation of the intercalator directly in the presence of DNA. In addition to the DNA-binding properties, the tested benzo[c]quinolizinium derivatives also operate as photosensitizers, which induce DNA damage at relative low concentrations and short irradiation times, even under anaerobic conditions. Investigations of the mechanism of the DNA damage revealed the involvement of intermediate hydroxyl radicals and C-centered radicals. Under aerobic conditions, singlet oxygen only contributes to marginal extent to the DNA damage.

Abstract
Unraveling the causes underlying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon phototoxicity is an essential step in understanding the harmful effects of these compounds in nature. Toward this end, we have studied the DNA interactions and photochemistry of N1-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diaminium dichloride in the presence and absence of NaF, KF, NaCl, KCl, NaBr, KBr, NaI, and KI (350 nm hν, pH 7.0). Exposing pUC19 plasmid to UV light in solutions containing 400 mM KCl formed significantly more direct strand breaks in DNA compared to no-salt control reactions. In contrast, NaCl increased DNA damage moderately, while the sodium(I) and potassium(I) fluoride, bromide, and iodide salts generally inhibited cleavage (I- > Br- > F-). A halide anion-induced heavy-atom effect was indicated by monitoring anthracene photodegradation and by employing the hydroxyl radical (•OH) probe hydroxyphenyl fluorescein (HPF). These studies revealed that among no-salt controls and the eight halide salts, only NaCl and KCl enabled the anthracene to photosensitize the production of high levels of DNA-damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Pre-irradiation of N1-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diaminium dichloride at 350 nm increased the amounts of chloride salt-induced •OH detected by HPF in subsequent anthracene photoactivation experiments. Taking into consideration that •OH and other highly reactive ROS are extremely short-lived, this result suggests that the pre-irradiation step might lead to the formation of oxidized anthracene photoproducts that are exceedingly redox-active. The fluorometric probes HPF and Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green revealed that KCl concentrations ranging from 150 to 400 mM and from 100 to 400 mM, respectively, enhanced N1-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diaminium dichloride photosensitized •OH and singlet oxygen (1O2) production over no-salt controls. Considering the relatively high levels of Na+, K+, and Cl- ions that exist in the environment and in living organisms, our findings may be relevant to the phototoxic effects exhibited by anthracenes and other polycyclic hydrocarbons in vivo.

Abstract
Dimeric cationic cyanostilbenes with peripheral alkyl chains demonstrated aggregation in aqueous media depending on the length of the hydrophobic segment and produced luminescent spherical nano-assemblies in the case of long alkyl chain derivatives. In the presence of heparin, a bio-polyanion that is routinely used as an anticoagulant, the self-assembled structures obtained from the amphiphilic dimers showed the formation of higher-order structures whereas the non-assembling dimers exhibited heparin-induced supramolecular structure formation. In both cases, a significant enhancement in the emission was observed. This led to the detection of heparin in aqueous buffer, serum and plasma with a "turn-on" fluorescence response. Interestingly, these derivatives also exhibited luminescence variation in the presence of ctDNA. However, the response towards DNA was opposite to that observed in the case of heparin i.e., "turn-off'' fluorescence response. Notably, depending on the length of the alkyl segment, divergent DNA binding modes of these derivatives were observed. Due to their enhanced luminescence, the heparin-based co-assemblies were further explored as artificial light-harvesting systems exhibiting an efficient energy transfer process to embedded acceptor dyes with a high antenna effect.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a chiral ligand N-(anthracen-9-ylmethyl)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethanamine (APPE) DNA photocleavage agent to investigate the effects of chirality of bis(2-picolyl)amine on the DNA photocleavage activity of metal complexes. The structures of ZnII and CoII complexes in APPE were analyzed via X-ray crystallography and fluorometric titration. APPE formed metal complexes with a 1 : 1 stoichiometry in both the crystalline and solution states. Fluorometric titration was used to show that the ZnII and CoII association constants of these complexes (log Kas) were 4.95 and 5.39, respectively. The synthesized complexes were found to cleave pUC19 plasmid DNA when irradiated at 370 nm. The DNA photocleavage activity of the ZnII complex was higher than that of the CoII complex. The absolute configuration of the methyl-attached carbon did not affect DNA cleavage activity and, unfortunately, an achiral APPE derivative without the methyl group (ABPM) was found to perform DNA photocleavage more effectively than APPE. One reason for this may be that the methyl group suppressed the structural flexibility of the photosensitizer. These results will be useful for the design of new photoreactive reagents.

Abstract
Owing to the safety and low toxicity, photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment has received extensive attention. However, the excess H2S in cancer cells reduces the PDT efficiency, because H2S indirectly depletes the reactive oxygen species (ROS). To improve anticancer efficiency, a mitochondria-targeted iridium(III) complex Ir-MMB has been developed as H2S consumer and photo-oxidation anticancer agent. On the one hand, complex Ir-MMB can consume H2S with sensitive phosphorescence turn-on, which has been successfully applied to exogenous and endogenous H2S response imaging in living cells. On the other hand, Ir-MMB can enhance its anticancer activity and cause photo-oxidation damage via catalyzing the oxidation of reduced form of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to NAD+ and producing H2O2 under light, and ultimately results in cell apoptosis through mitochondrial depolarization and ROS production.

Abstract
Outdoor air pollution is a mixture of multiple atmospheric pollutants, among which nitrogen oxide (NOx) stands out due to its association with several diseases. NOx reactivity can conduct to DNA damage as severe as interstrand crosslinks (ICL) formation, that in turn is able to block DNA replication and transcription. Experimental studies have suggested that the ICL formation due to NOx is realized through a diazonium intermediate (DI). In this work, we have modeled the DI structure, including a DNA double-strand composed of two base pairs GC/CG, being diazotized as one of the guanine nucleotides. The structural stability of DNA with DI lesion was essayed through 500 ns molecular dynamics simulations. It was found that the DNA structure of the oligonucleotide is stable when the DI is present since the loss of a Guanine-Cytosine hydrogen bond is replaced by the presence of two cation-π interactions. Additionally, we have studied the mechanism of formation of a crosslink between the two guanine nucleobases from the modeled DI by carrying out DFT calculations at the M06-L/DNP+ level of theory. Our results show that the mechanism is thermodynamically favored by a strong stabilization of the ICL product, and the process is kinetically viable since its limiting stage is accessible.

Abstract
In this article, Density Functional Theory based calculations, including dispersion corrections, PBE0(D3BJ)/Def2-TZVP(-f), were performed to elucidate the photophysics of the [Ru(bpy)2(HAT)]2+ complex in water. In addition, the thermodynamics of the charge and electron transfer excited state reactions of this complex with oxygen, nitric oxide and Guanosine-5'-monophosphate nucleotide (GMP) were investigated. The first singlet excite state, S1, strongly couples with the second and third triplet excited states (T2 and T3) giving rise to a high intersystem crossing rate of 6.26 × 1011 s-1 which is ∼106 greater than the fluorescence rate decay. The thermodynamics of the excited reactions revealed that all electron transfer reactions investigated are highly favorable, due mainly to the high stability of the triply charged radical cation 2PS•3+ species formed after the electron has been transferred. Excited state electron transfer from the GMP nucleotide to the complex is also highly favorable (ΔGsol = -92.6 kcal/mol), showing that this complex can be involved in the photooxidation of DNA, in line with experimental findings. Therefore, the calculations allow to conclude that the [Ru(bpy)2(HAT)]2+ complex can act in Photodynamic therapy through both mechanisms type I and II, through electron transfer from and to the complex and triplet-triplet energy transfer, generating ROS, RNOS and through DNA photooxidation. In addition, the work also opens a perspective of using this complex for the in-situ generation of the singlet nitroxyl (1NO-) species, which can have important applications for the generation of HNO and may have, therefore, important impact for physiological studies involving HNO.

Abstract
Eleven 3-amino-2-methyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones have been synthesized, in good to excellent yields, via their corresponding benzoxazinones using an efficient tandem microwave-assisted green process. Representative acetamides have been thermally derived from their functional free 3-amino group, whereas for the synthesis of various arylamides, a novel green microwave-assisted protocol has been developed, which involved the attack of hydrazides on benzoxazinones. Eight out of the eleven 3-amino-2-methyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-ones were found photo-active towards plasmid DNA under UVB, and four under UVA irradiation. Amongst all acetamides, only the 6-nitro derivative retained activity both under UVB and UVA irradiation, whereas the 6-bromo-substituted one was active only under UVB. 3-arylamido-6-bromo derivatives exhibited dramatically decreased photo-activity; however, all 3-arylamido-6-nitro compounds developed extraordinary activity, even at concentrations as low as 1μM, which was enhanced compared to their parent 3-amino-2-methyl-6-nitro-quinazolinone. Molecular docking studies were indicative of satisfactory binding to DNA and correlated to the presented photo-activity. Since quinazolinones are known “privileged” pharmacophores for anticancer and antimicrobial activities, the present study gives information on turning “on” and “off” photosensitization on various derivatives which are often used as synthones for drug development, when chromophores and auxochromes are incorporated or being functionalized. Thus, certain compounds may lead to the development of novel photo-chemo or photodynamic therapeutics.

Abstract
Catechol oxidase (CO) and phenoxazinone synthase (PHS) are two enzymes of immense significance due to their capability to oxidize catechols and o-aminophenols to o-quinones and phenoxazinones, respectively. In this connection two mononuclear manganese complexes with the molecular framework [MnII(Ln)Cl]Cl {L1: tris((1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)amine; n = 1 and L2: tris(N-methylbenzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amine; n = 2} have been designed to be potential catalysts for OAPH (o-aminophenol) oxidation. Both the ligands and their corresponding metal complexes have been successfully synthesized and thoroughly characterized by different spectroscopic and analytical techniques such as FT-IR, 1H NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectroscopy. The molecular structures of [MnII(L1)Cl]Cl (1) and [MnII(L2)Cl]Cl (2) have been revealed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The spectral properties and redox behaviour of both the complexes were examined. Under ambient conditions, 1 and 2 show excellent phenoxazinone synthase activity as both are very susceptible to oxidize o-aminophenol to phenoxazinone. The kinetic parameters for both complexes have been determined by analyzing the experimental spectroscopic data. The turnover numbers (kcat value) of these two complexes are extremely high, 440 h-1 and 234 h-1 for 1 and 2, respectively. The present report offers a thorough overview of information involving the role of the metal ions and their extent of phenoxazinone synthase mimicking activity. The oxidation of o-aminophenol to 2-amino-3H-phenoxazine-3-one (APX) by catalytic oxidation of oxygen (O2) by the reaction with transition metal complexes has been an important study for the last few decades. The current study evidently showed better performance of our synthesized Mn(II) complexes than all the predecessors. The plausible mechanism has been reiterated based on the experimental data via ESI-MS spectra and considering the concepts from the previously reported mechanisms involved in the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an intermediate substrate is fairly indicating the involvement of molecular oxygen in the catalytic cycle.

In contrast to their spontaneous deprotonation in aqueous solution, reactions of guanine and guanosine radical cations with water in the gas phase are exclusively initiated by hydration of the radical cations as reported in recent work (Y. Sun et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2018, 20, 27510). As gas-phase hydration reactions closely mimic the actual scenario for guanine radical cations in double-stranded DNA, exploration of subsequent reactions within their water complexes can provide an insight into the resulting oxidative damage to nucleosides. Herein guided-ion beam mass spectrometry experiment and direct dynamics trajectory simulations were carried out to examine prototype complexes of the 9-methylguanine radical cation with one and two water ligands (i.e., 9MG˙+·(H2O)1-2) in the gas phase, wherein the complexes were activated by collisional activation in the experiment and by thermal excitation at high temperatures in the simulations. Guided by mass spectroscopic measurements, trajectory results and reaction potential energy surface, three reaction pathways were identified. The first two reaction pathways start with H-atom abstraction from water by the O6 and N7 atoms in 9MG˙+ and are referred to as HAO6 and HAN7, respectively. The primary products of HAO6 and HAN7 reactions, including [9MG + HO6]+/[9MG + HN7]+ and ˙OH, react further to either form [8OH-9MG + HO6]˙+ and [8OH-9MG + HN7]˙+via C8-hydroxylation or form radical cations of 6-enol-guanine (6-enol-G˙+) and 7H-guanine (7HG˙+) via SN2-type methanol elimination. The third reaction pathway corresponds to the formation of 8OH-9MG+ by H elimination from the complex, referred to as HE. Among these product channels, [8OH-9MG + HN7]˙+ has the most favorable formation probability, especially in the presence of additional water molecules. This product may serve as a preceding structure to the 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine lesion in DNA and has implications for health effects of radiation exposure and radiation therapy.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a mild but effective method to treat certain types of cancer upon irradiation with visible light. Here, three isomeric methylpyridinium alkynylanthracenes 1o─p were evaluated as sensitizers for PDT. Upon irradiation with blue or green light, all three compounds show the ability to initiate strand breaks of plasmid DNA. The mayor species responsible for cleavage is singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) as confirmed by scavenging reagents. Only isomers 1m and 1p can be incorporated into HeLa cells, whereas isomer 1o cannot permeate through the membrane. While isomer 1m targets the cell nucleus, isomer 1p assembles in the cellular cytoplasm and impacts the cellular integrity. This is in accordance with a moderate toxicity of 1p in the dark, whereas 1m exhibits no dark toxicity. Both isomers are suitable as PDT reagents, with a CC50 of 3 μm and 75 nm, for 1p and 1m, respectively. Thus, derivative 1m, which can be easily synthesized, becomes an interesting candidate for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chemically modified biomacromolecules-i.e., proteins, nucleic acids, glycans, and lipids-have become crucial tools in chemical biology. They are extensively used not only to elucidate cellular processes but also in industrial applications, particularly in the context of biopharmaceuticals. In order to enable maximum scope for optimization, it is pivotal to have a diverse array of biomacromolecule modification methods at one's disposal. Chemistry has driven many significant advances in this area, and especially recently, numerous novel visible-light-induced photochemical approaches have emerged. In these reactions, light serves as an external source of energy, enabling access to highly reactive intermediates under exceedingly mild conditions and with exquisite spatiotemporal control. While UV-induced transformations on biomacromolecules date back decades, visible light has the unmistakable advantage of being considerably more biocompatible, and a spectrum of visible-light-driven methods is now available, chiefly for proteins and nucleic acids. This review will discuss modifications of native functional groups (FGs), including functionalization, labeling, and cross-linking techniques as well as the utility of oxidative degradation mediated by photochemically generated reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, transformations at non-native, bioorthogonal FGs on biomacromolecules will be addressed, including photoclick chemistry and DNA-encoded library synthesis as well as methods that allow manipulation of the activity of a biomacromolecule.

The cell-impermeable Ru(II) polypyridyl complex as a potent intracellular photosensitizer under visible light irradiation via ion-pairing with suitable lipophilic counter-anions. Free Radic Biol Med 2021; 171:69-79. [PMID: 33957221 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2021.04.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Developing the cell-impermeable Ru(II) polypyridyl cationic complexes as effective photosensitizers (PS) which have high cellular uptake and photo-toxicity, but low dark toxicity, is quite challenging. Here we found that the highly reactive singlet oxygen (1O2) can be generated by the irradiation of a typical Ru(II) polypyridyl complex Ru(II)tris(tetramethylphenanthroline) ([Ru(TMP)3]2+) under visible light irradiation by ESR with TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidone-N-oxyl) as 1O2 probe. Effective cellular and nuclear delivery of cationic [Ru(TMP)3]2+ was achieved through our recently developed ion-pairing method, and 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenol (2,3,4,5-TeCP) was found to be the most effective among all chlorophenols tested. The accelerated cellular, especially nuclear uptake of [Ru(TMP)3]2+ results in the formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and DNA strand breaks, caspase 3/7 activation and cell apoptosis in HeLa cells upon light irradiation. More importantly, compared with other traditional photosensitizers, [Ru(TMP)3]2+ showed significant photo-toxicity but low dark toxicity. Similar effects were observed when 2,3,4,5-TeCP was substituted by the currently clinically used anti-inflammatory drug flufenamic acid. This represents the first report that the cell-impermeable Ru(II) polypyridyl complex ion-paired with suitable lipophilic counter-anions functions as potent intracellular photosensitizer under visible light irradiation mainly via a 1O2-mediated mechanism. These findings should provide new perspectives for future investigations on other metal complexes with similar characteristics as promising photosensitizers for potential photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
A diluted 3% w/w hydrogen peroxide solution acidified to pH 2.5 by adding citric acid inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus by more than 4 orders of magnitude in 5 min. After a contact time of 15 min, no viral replication was detected. Aqueous solutions of sodium percarbonate inactivated coronavirus by >3 log10 diminution in 15 min. Conversely, H2O2 solutions with no additives displayed a scarce virucidal activity (1.1 log10 diminution in 5 min), confirming that a pH-modifying ingredient is necessary to have a H2O2-based disinfectant active against the novel coronavirus.

Abstract
Photophysical properties of five kinds of porphyrins (H2TMPyP, ZnTMPyP, PdTMPyP, H2TPPS, and ZnTPPS) complexed with model DNAs (ctDNA and dGMP) have been investigated using steady-state absorption, circular dichroism (CD), and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. Upon addition of ctDNA (or dGMP), larger hypochromism and red shifts are observed for H2TMPyP and PdTMPyP compared to the other samples. The steady-state measurements have suggested that the binding modes of H2TMPyP-ctDNA and PdTMPyP-ctDNA are partial intercalation and full intercalation, respectively, while ZnTMPyP-ctDNA shows outside groove binding. No significant interaction was observed between both H2TPPS and ZnTPPS with two kinds of DNA. Upon excitation of the porphyrins into the higher excited state S2 (Soret band), the appearance of the transient absorption from ∼500 to ∼620 nm at about 0.05 ps in H2TMPyP-ctDNA, H2TMPyP-dGMP, and PdTMPyP-dGMP indicates the occurrence of the electron transfer (ET) from guanine to H2TMPyP and PdTMPyP. The forward ET are extremely fast (kf ≥ 1.0 × 1013 s-1), and the backward ET rates are ∼5.6 × 1012 and ∼4.0 × 1012 s-1, respectively. The complexation with DNA may lead to the shorter lifetime of the fluorescence of H2TMPyP and PdTMPyP.

Abstract
Photochemo and photodynamic therapies are minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of cancers and powerful weapons for competing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Synthetic and naturally occurring quinazolinones are considered privileged anticancer and antibacterial agents, with several of them to have emerged as commercially available drugs. In the present study, applying a single-step green microwave irradiation mediated protocol we have synthesized eleven quinazolinon-4(3H)-ones, from cheap readily available anthranilic acids, in very good yields and purity. These products were irradiated in the presence of pBR322 plasmid DNA under UVB, UVA and visible light. Four of the compounds proved to be very effective DNA photocleavers, at low concentrations, being time and concentration dependent as well as pH independent. Participation of reactive oxygen species was related to the substitution of quinazolinone derivatives. 6-Nitro-quinazolinone in combination with UVA irradiation was found to be in vitro photodestructive for three cell lines; glioblastoma (U87MG and T98G) and mainly melanoma (A-375). Thus, certain appropriately substituted quinazolinones may serve as new lead photosensitizers for the development of promising biotechnological applications and as novel photochemo and photodynamic therapeutics.

Abstract
The expanding scope of chemical reactions applied to nucleic acids has diversified the design of nucleic acid-based technologies that are essential to medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Among chemical reactions, visible light photochemical reaction is considered a promising tool that can be used for the manipulations of nucleic acids owing to its advantages, such as mild reaction conditions and ease of the reaction process. Of late, inspired by the development of visible light-absorbing molecules and photocatalysts, visible light-driven photochemical reactions have been used to conduct various molecular manipulations, such as the cleavage or ligation of nucleic acids and other molecules as well as the synthesis of functional molecules. In this review, we describe the recent developments (from 2010) in visible light photochemical reactions involving nucleic acids and their applications in the design of nucleic acid-based technologies including DNA photocleaving, DNA photoligation, nucleic acid sensors, the release of functional molecules, and DNA-encoded libraries.

Abstract
Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising candidates for photon-driven reactions, including light-triggered drug delivery, photodynamic therapy, and photocatalysis. Herein, we investigate the NIR-to-UV/visible emission of sub-15 nm alkaline-earth rare-earth fluoride UCNPs (M1-x Lnx F2+x, MLnF) with a CaF2 shell. We synthesize 8 alkaline-earth host materials doped with Yb3+ and Tm3+ , with alkaline-earth (M) spanning Ca, Sr, and Ba, MgSr, CaSr, CaBa, SrBa, and CaSrBa. We explore UCNP composition, size, and lanthanide doping-dependent emission, focusing on upconversion quantum yield (UCQY) and UV emission. UCQY values of 2.46 % at 250 W cm-2 are achieved with 14.5 nm SrLuF@CaF2 particles, with 7.3 % of total emission in the UV. In 10.9 nm SrYbF:1 %Tm3+ @CaF2 particles, UV emission increased to 9.9 % with UCQY at 1.14 %. We demonstrate dye degradation under NIR illumination using SrYbF:1 %Tm3+ @CaF2 , highlighting the efficiency of these UCNPs and their ability to trigger photoprocesses.

Abstract
Differently 5‐substituted 8‐methoxypsoralens can be synthesized by an efficient synthetic route with various cross‐coupling methodologies, such as Suzuki, Sonogashira and Heck reaction. Compared to previously synthesized psoralens, thereby promising daylight absorbing compounds as potentially active agents against certain skin diseases can be readily accessed. Extensive investigations of all synthesized psoralen derivatives reveal fluorescence in the solid state as well as several distinctly emissive derivatives in solution. Donor‐substituted psoralens exhibit remarkable photophysical properties, such as high fluorescence quantum yields and pronounced emission solvatochromicity and acidochromicity, which were scrutinized by Lippert–Mataga and Stern–Volmer plots. The results indicate that the compounds exceed the limit of visible light, a significant factor for potential applications as an active agent. In addition, (TD)DFT calculations were performed to elucidate the underlying electronic structure and to assign experimentally obtained data.

Abstract
A novel metal complex was synthesized containing a purine derived ligand in order to increase its binding to DNA. We observed a huge increase in nuclease activity and, quite interestingly, an improvement on DNA sequence selectivity. A potential site of specific cleavage in the presence of a reductant in the reaction medium is suggested. We were able to synthesize a novel metal nuclease with improved activity on DNA, and with sequence specificity when exposed to a coreactant, this opens up new possibilities to create site specific and redox status modulated artificial nucleases.

Abstract
A number of p-pyridinyl oxime carbamate derivatives were prepared upon the reaction of the corresponding oximes with isocyanates. These novel compounds reacted photochemically in the presence of supercoiled plasmid DNA. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that the substituent on the imine group was not affecting the extend of the DNA damage, whereas the substituent of the carbamate group was critical, with the halogenated derivatives to be able to cause extensive single and double stranded DNA cleavages, acting as "synthetic nucleases", independently of oxygen and pH. Calf thymus-DNA affinity studies showed a good-to-excellent affinity of selected both active and non-active derivatives. Preliminary theoretical studies were performed, in an effort to explain the reasons why some derivatives cause photocleavage and some others not, which were experimentally verified using triplet state activators and quenchers. These theoretical studies seem to allow the prediction of the activity of derivatives able to pass intersystem crossing to their triplet energy state and thus create radicals able to damage DNA. With this study, it is shown that oxime carbamate derivatives have the potential to act as novel effective photobase generating DNA-photocleavers, and are proposed as new leads for "on demand" biotechnological applications in drug discovery and medicine.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonds play a critical role in nucleobase studies as they encode genes, map protein structures, provide stability to the base pairs, and are involved in spontaneous and induced mutations. Proton transfer mechanism is a critical phenomenon that is related to the acid-base characteristics of the nucleobases in Watson-Crick base pairs. The energetic and dynamical behavior of the proton can be depicted from these characteristics and their adjustment to the water molecules or the surrounding ions. Further, new pathways open up in which protonated nucleobases are generated by proton transfer from the ionized water molecules and elimination of a hydroxyl radical in this review, the analysis will be focused on understanding the mechanism of untargeted mutations in canonical, wobble, Hoogsteen pairs, and mutagenic tautomers through the non-covalent interactions. Further, rare tautomer formation through the single proton transfer (SPT) and the double proton transfer (DPT), quantum tunneling in nucleobases, radiation-induced bystander effects, role of water in proton transfer (PT) reactions, PT in anticancer drugs-DNA interaction, displacement and oriental polarization, possible models for mutations in DNA, genome instability, and role of proton transfer using kinetic parameters for RNA will be discussed.

Abstract
Exposure of DNA to one-electron oxidants leads initially to the formation of guanine radical cations (G•+), which may degrade by deprotonation or hydration and ultimately cause strand breaks or 8-oxoG lesions. As the structure is dramatically changed by binding of the third strand in the major groove of the target duplex, it makes the triplex an interesting DNA structure to be examined and compared with the duplex on the G•+ degradation pathways. Here, we report for the first time the time-resolved spectroscopy study on the G•+ reaction dynamics in triplex DNA together with the Fourier transform infrared characterization of steady-state products, from which structural effects on the reactivity of G•+ are unraveled. For an antiparallel triplex-containing GGC motif, G•+ mainly suffers from fast deprotonation (9.8 ± 0.2) × 106 s-1, featuring release of both N1-H and N2-H of G in the third strand directly into bulk water. The much faster and distinct deprotonation behavior compared to the duplex should be related to long-resident water spines in the third strand. The G•+ hydration product 8-oxoG is negligible for an antiparallel triplex; instead, the 5-HOO-(G-H) hydroperoxide formed after G•+ deprotonation is identified by its vibrational marker band. In contrast, in a parallel triplex (C+GC), the deprotonation of G•+ occurs slowly (6.0 ± 0.3) × 105 s-1 with the release of N1-H, while G•+ hydration becomes the major pathway with yields of 8-oxoG larger than in the duplex. The increased positive charge brought by the third strand makes the G radical in the parallel triplex sustain more cation character and prone for hydration. These results indicate that non-B DNA (triplex) plays an important role in DNA damage formation and provide mechanistic insights to rationalize why triplex structures might become hot spots for mutagenesis.

Abstract
In this review, we describe a detailed investigation about the structural variations and relative activity of 1,8-naphthalimide based intercalators and anticancer agents. The 1,8-naphthalimides binds to the DNA via intercalation, and exert their antitumor activities through Topoisomerase I/II inhibition, photoinduced DNA damage or related mechanism. Here, our discussion focused on works published over the last ten years (2007-2017) related to therapeutic applications, in the order of cancer treatment followed by other properties of 1,8-naphthalimides. In preparing for this review, we considered that several seminal reviews have appeared over the last fifteen years and focused on closely related subjects, however, none of them is exhaustive.

Abstract
Four novel copper(ii) complexes [Cu(II)(Bp4mT)(μ-Cl)]2 (), [Cu(II)(μ-Bp4mT)Br]2 (), [Cu(II)(HBpT)Cl] (), and [Cu(II)(HBpT)Br] () (Bp4mT = 2-benzoylpyridine-4-methylthiosemicarbazone, HBpT = 2-benzoylpyridine thiosemicarbazone), were synthesized and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, infrared, and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. X-ray analysis revealed that complexes and based on the Bp4mT ligand presented dimeric structures in which the Cu(ii) ions were located in a five-coordinated distorted square-pyramidal geometry, whereas both and complexes were mononuclear with the Cu(ii) ions exhibiting a tetracoordinated square planar configuration. Their interactions with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were investigated using viscosity measurements and fluorescence spectroscopy. Multispectroscopic evidence has shown interactions between these complexes and human serum albumin (HSA). All these complexes have exhibited efficient oxidative cleavage of supercoiled DNA in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, presumably via an oxidative mechanism. Furthermore, in vitro cytotoxicity studies of against human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG-2), human large cell lung carcinoma cells (NCI-H460), and human cervical carcinoma cells (HeLa) indicated their promising antitumor activity with quite low IC50 values in the range of 0.08-1.98 μM, which are 83 times lower than those of cisplatin. The mechanistic studies revealed that four complexes, which induced early apoptosis, were involved in reactive oxygen species generation and DNA cleavage for their antitumor activities.

Abstract
Three new iridium (III) complexes [Ir (ppy)2 (ipbc)](PF6) (1), [Ir (bzq)2 (ipbc)](PF6) (2) and [Ir (piq)2 (ipbc)](PF6) (3) were designed and synthesized. All the complexes were tested for anticancer activity using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole)-2,5-diphenyltetraazolium bromide (MTT) method. The complexes show no cytotoxic activity toward cancer BEL-7402, SGC-7901, Eca-109, A549, HeLa and HepG2 cells. However, upon irradiation with white light, the complexes display high cytotoxicity against BEL-7402 cells with an IC50 value of 5.5 ± 0.8, 7.3 ± 1.3 and 11.5 ± 1.6 μM for 1, 2 and 3, respectively. AO/EB staining and comet assay show that the complexes can induce apoptosis in BEL-7402 cells. The complexes can increase intracellular ROS and Ca2+ levels and cause a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential. Autophagic assays exhibit that the complexes can induce autophagy and regulate the expression of Beclin-1 and LC3 proteins. The cell cycle distribution in BEL-7402 cells was carried out by flow cytometry. The expression of Bcl-2 family proteins was studied by western blot. Additionally, the complexes can release cytochrome c and inhibit the polymerization of α-tubulin. Our study reveals that the complexes inhibit the cell growth in BEL-7402 cells through an ROS-mediated mitochondria dysfunction and targeting tubules pathways. These complexes are a promising new entity for the development of multi-target anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging clinical treatment currently being used against a wide range of both cancerous and noncancerous diseases. The search for new active photosensitizers as well as the development of novel selective delivery systems are the major challenges faced in the application of PDT. We investigated herein three chloroharmine derivatives (6-, 8- and 6,8-dichloroharmines) with quite promising intrinsic photochemical tunable properties and their ability to photoinduce DNA damage in order to elucidate the underlying photochemical mechanisms. Data revealed that the three compounds are quite efficient photosensitizers. The overall extent of photo-oxidative DNA damage induced by both 8-chloro-substituted β-carbolines is higher than that induced by 6-chloro-harmine. The predominant type of lesion generated also depends on the position of the chlorine atom in the β-carboline ring. Both 8-chloro-substituted β-carbolines mostly oxidize purines via type I mechanism, whereas 6-chloro-harmine mainly behaves as a "clean" artificial photonuclease inducing single-strand breaks and site of base loss via proton transfer and concerted (HO--mediated) hydrolytic attack. The latter finding represents an exception to the general photosensitizing reactions and, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that this process is well documented. The controlled and selective production of different oxygen-independent lesions could be fine-tuned by simply changing the substituent groups in the β-carboline ring. This could be a promising tool for the design and development of novel photo-therapeutic agents aimed to tackle hypoxic conditions shown in certain types of tumours.

Abstract
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have attracted great attention because of their superior optical properties and wide utilization in biological and biomedical studies. This paper reports an environmentally benign procedure of greener monodispersible SeNP synthesis using the reducing power of Trigonella foenum-graecum extract, characterization and their protective effect against unfolded (Herring sperm DNA) hsDNA. We investigated the anti-cancer activity of SeNPs against MCF-7, MDA MB 435 and COLO-205 cells. The photocatalytic activity of SeNPs was investigated for the degradation of a Sunset Yellow FCF (SYFCF) dye using ultraviolet-B light. The reduction of the Se ion to SeNPs was monitored by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). The size and morphology of the SeNPs were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). The SeNPs were stable, and the diameter was homogeneous at around 5-12 nm. Interactions of various concentrations of SeNPs with hsDNA were systematically investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), polarimetry and FTIR spectroscopy under physiological conditions. The results from fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that SeNPs quenched the fluorescence intensity of hsDNA with increasing concentrations. The modified Stern-Volmer quenching rate constant Ksv, binding constant K and binding sites n at different temperatures and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters ΔH°, ΔG° and ΔS° were calculated. Hoechst 33258 and methyl green (MG) site markers, melting experiment (Tm), viscosity measurements and sequence specificity verification by DNA bases clarified that SeNPs bind to hsDNA via a groove site. The rate of photocatalytic degradation of the SYFCF dye in the presence and absence of photocatalysts (SeNPs) was studied using UV-vis, the results showed appreciable degradation of the SYFCF dye. Our results suggested that nano Se can be used as a promising selenium species with potential application in cancer treatment. These nanoparticles were found to be the most active cytotoxic agent prepared in a new green synthesis manner, causing >50% inhibition of MCF-7, MDA MB-435 and COLO-205 cell proliferation at concentrations <10(-7) M. Hence these SeNPs could be recognized as promising materials for biomedical applications.
