Synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial activities of a heteroscorpionate derivative platinum complex against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1100947.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the species with the greatest clinical importance and greatest impact on public health. In fact, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is considered a pandemic pathogen, being essential to develop effective medicines and combat its rapid spread. This study aimed to foster the translation of clinical research outcomes based on metallodrugs into clinical practice for the treatment of MRSA. Bearing in mind the promising anti-Gram-positive effect of the heteroscorpionate ligand 1,1’-(2-(4-isopropylphenyl)ethane-1,1-diyl)bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole) (2P), we propose the coordination of this compound to platinum as a clinical strategy with the ultimate aim of overcoming resistance in the treatment of MRSA. Therefore, the novel metallodrug 2P-Pt were synthetized, fully characterized and its antibacterial effect against the planktonic and biofilm state of S. aureus evaluated. In this sense, three different strains of S. aureus were studied, one collection strain of S. aureus sensitive to methicillin and two clinical MRSA strains. To appraise the antibacterial activity, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC), and minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) were determined. Moreover, successful outcomes on the development of biofilm in a wound-like medium were obtained. The mechanism of action for 2P-Pt was proposed by measuring the MIC and MBC with EDTA (cation mediated mechanism) and DMSO (exogenous oxidative stress mechanism). Moreover, to shed light on the plausible antistaphylococcal mechanism of this novel platinum agent, additional experiments using transmission electron microscopy were carried out. 2P-Pt inhibited the growth and eradicated the three strains evaluated in the planktonic state. Another point worth stressing is the inhibition in the growth of MRSA biofilm even in a wounded medium. The results of this work support this novel agent as a promising therapeutic alternative for preventing infections caused by MRSA.

Abstract
Osmium (IV) complexes with pyrazole nucleus containing ligands were synthesized. Os(IV) compounds were characterized using ESI-MS, ICP-OES, IR spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, conductance, and magnetic measurements. Whereas, ligands were characterized by heteronuclear spectroscopy, (1H and 13C), IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. All the compounds were tested for their potential to interact with HS-DNA by absorption titration, fluorescence spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, and docking study. The quenching constant and Stern Volmer constant values were calculated using fluorescence study. The synthesized compounds were studied for in-vitro bacteriostatic and cytotoxic activities. The cancer cell line studies of all the synthesized complexes were carried out on human lung cancer cells (A549).Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15257770.2021.1921795 .

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires innovative solutions to counteract new resistance mechanisms emerging and spreading globally in infectious pathogens. Classic organic antibiotics are rapidly exhausting the structural variations available for an effective antimicrobial drug and new compounds emerging from the industrial pharmaceutical pipeline will likely have a short-term and limited impact before the pathogens can adapt. Inorganic and organometallic complexes offer the opportunity to discover and develop new active antimicrobial agents by exploiting their wide range of three-dimensional geometries and virtually infinite design possibilities that can affect their substitution kinetics, charge, lipophilicity, biological targets and modes of action. This review describes recent studies on the antimicrobial activity of transition metal complexes of groups 6–12. It focuses on the effectiveness of the metal complexes in relation to the rich structural chemical variations of the same. The aim is to provide a short vade mecum for the readers interested in the subject that can complement other reviews.

Abstract
Biological applications of platinum group metal-based complexes have been widely explored in synthetic and inorganic chemistry. The compounds have been subjected to DNA binding, DNA cleavage, In-vivo and In-vitro photocytotoxicity (HCT-116 cell line) and bacteriostatic activities. Binding constant of complexes are 1.42-5.62 × 104 M-1, whereas that of ligands are 1.12-4.72 × 104 M-1. Ksv of complexes are about 1.32-5.21 × 103 M-1, whereas Kf is about 1.24-6.83 × 103 M-1. IC50 of compounds screened using HCT-116 cell line in dark are found to be 121-342 μg/mL. Whereas photocytotoxicity is found in the range of 48-316 μg/mL. Docking energy of molecules have been evaluated to evaluate efficacy of binding. Molecular docking energy of complexes are in the range of -286.00 to -303.11 kJ/mol. Whereas that of ligands are -254.03 to -282.96 kJ/mol. MIC of complexes are 47 ± 2.5 to 77.50 ± 7.5 μM. LC50 values of ligands fall in the range of 4.05-19.72 μg/mL and that of Os(IV) complexes fall in the range of 3.99-15.99 μg/mL. The Os(IV) complexes dominate in proving its potentiality compared to N, N-donor ligands in biological activities. [Formula: see text]Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

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
Three copper(ii) complexes, [Cu(L1)(NO3)2] (C1), [Cu(L2)Cl2] (C2) and [Cu(L2)SO4]2·H2O (C3), were designed and synthesized by the reaction of Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, CuCl2·2H2O and CuSO4·5H2O with a quinoline-derived Schiff base ligand, L1 or L2, prepared by the condensation of quinoline-8-carbaldehyde with 4-aminobenzoic acid methyl ester or 4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (benzocaine). The efficient bindings of the C1-C3 complexes with human serum albumin (HSA) and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were analyzed by spectroscopy and molecular docking. These complexes could significantly quench the fluorescence of HSA through the static quenching process, and hydrophobic interactions with HSA through the sub-domain IIA and IIIA cavities. The complexes bind to DNA via the intercalative mode and they fit well into the curved contour of the DNA target in the minor groove region. Furthermore, the interaction abilities of the Cu(ii) complexes with HSA/DNA were greater as compared to their corresponding ligands. Interestingly, C1-C3, particularly C3, exhibited more cytotoxicity toward HeLa cells compared to normal HL-7702 cells and three other tumor cell lines (Hep-G2, NCI-H460, and MGC80-3). Their cytotoxicity toward the HeLa cell lines was 1.9-3.5-fold more potent than cisplatin. Further studies indicated that these complexes arrested the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase and promoted tumor cell apoptosis via a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mitochondrial pathway.
