Targets, Mechanisms and Cytotoxicity of Half-Sandwich Ir(III) Complexes Are Modulated by Structural Modifications on the Benzazole Ancillary Ligand. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 15:cancers15010107. [PMID: 36612104 PMCID: PMC9818021 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15010107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Cancers are driven by multiple genetic mutations but evolve to evade treatments targeting specific mutations. Nonetheless, cancers cannot evade a treatment that targets mitochondria, which are essential for tumor progression. Iridium complexes have shown anticancer properties, but they lack specificity for their intracellular targets, leading to undesirable side effects. Herein we present a systematic study on structure-activity relationships of eight arylbenzazole-based Iridium(III) complexes of type [IrCl(Cp*)], that have revealed the role of each atom of the ancillary ligand in the physical chemistry properties, cytotoxicity and mechanism of biological action. Neutral complexes, especially those bearing phenylbenzimidazole (HL1 and HL2), restrict the binding to DNA and albumin. One of them, complex 1[C,NH-Cl], is the most selective one, does not bind DNA, targets exclusively the mitochondria, disturbs the mitochondria membrane permeability inducing proton leak and increases ROS levels, triggering the molecular machinery of regulated cell death. In mice with orthotopic lung tumors, the administration of complex 1[C,NH-Cl] reduced the tumor burden. Cancers are more vulnerable than normal tissues to a treatment that harnesses mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, complex 1[C,NH-Cl] characterization opens the way to the development of new compounds to exploit this vulnerability.

Abstract
The synthesis and biological assessment of neutral or cationic platinum group metal-based anticancer complexes have been extremely studied, whereas there are few reports on the corresponding zwitterionic complexes. Herein, the synthesis, characterization, and bioactivity of zwitterionic half-sandwich phosphine-imine iridium(III), rhodium(III), and ruthenium(II) complexes were presented. The sulfonated phosphine-imine ligand and a group of zwitterionic half-sandwich P,N-chelating organometallic complexes were fully characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrum (electrospray ionization, ESI), elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. The solution stability of these complexes and their spectral properties were also determined. Notably, almost all of these complexes showed enhanced anticancer activity against model HeLa and A549 cancer cells than the corresponding zwitterionic pyridyl-imine N,N-chelating iridium(III) and ruthenium(II) complexes, which have exhibited inactive or low active in our previous work. The increase in the lipophilic property and intracellular uptake levels of these zwitterionic P,N-chelating complexes appeared to be associated with their superior cytotoxicity. In addition, these complexes showed biomolecular interactions with bovine serum albumin (BSA). The flow cytometry studies indicated that the representative complex Ir1 could induce early-stage apoptosis in A549 cells. Further, confocal microscopy imaging analysis displayed that Ir1 entered A549 cells through the energy-dependent pathway, targeted lysosome, and could cause lysosomal damage. In particular, these complexes could impede cell migration in A549 cells.

Abstract
Herein, we present the different coordination modes of half-sandwich iridium(III) and rhodium(III) complexes based on pyridine-amine ligands. The pyridyl-amine iridium(III) and rhodium(III) complexes, the corresponding oxidation pyridyl-imine products, and 16-electron pyridyl-amido complexes can be obtained through the change in reaction conditions (nitrogen/adventitious oxygen atmosphere, reaction time, and solvents) and structural variations in the metal and ligand. Overall, the reaction of pyridine-amine ligands with [(η5-C5(CH3)5)MCl2]2 (M = Ir or Rh) in the presence of adventitious oxygen afforded the oxidized pyridyl-imine complexes. The possible mechanism for the oxidation of iridium(III) and rhodium(III) amine complexes was confirmed by the detection of the byproduct hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the formation of pyridyl-amine complexes was favored when nonpolar solvent CH2Cl2 was used instead of CH3OH. The rarely reported complex with [(η5-Cp*)IrCl3] anions can also be obtained without the addition of NH4PF6. The introduction of the sterically bulky i-Bu group on the bridge carbon of the ligand led to the formation of stable 16-electron pyridyl-amido complexes. The pyridyl-amine iridium(III) and rhodium(III) complexes were also synthesized under a N2 atmosphere, and no H2O2 was detected in the whole process. In particular, the aqueous solution stability and in vitro cytotoxicity toward A549 and HeLa human cancer cells of these complexes were also evaluated. No obvious selectivity was observed for cancer cells versus normal cells with these complexes. Notably, the represented complex 5a can promote an increase in the reactive oxygen species level and induce cell death via apoptosis.

Abstract
Herein we present the synthesis and characterization of a panel of structurally related zwitterionic piano-stool rhodium(III) and ruthenium(II) complexes. The identities of these novel complexes have been determined by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The stability and fluorescence property of these zwitterionic complexes were also confirmed. Zwitterionic rhodium(III) complexes Rh1-Rh4 displayed potent cytotoxic activity against A549 and HeLa human cancer cells. On the contrary, zwitterionic ruthenium(II) complexes Ru1-Ru4 presented no obvious cytotoxic activity to the test cell lines. Moreover, the trend that the introduction of fluorinated substituent and phenyl ring in the η5-CpR ring and N,N-chelating ligand, respectively, could enhance the cytotoxicity of these zwitterionic rhodium(III) complexes, were observed. The exploration of mechanism using flow cytometry displayed that the cytotoxicity of these rhodium(III) complexes was associated with the perturbation of the cell cycle and the induction of cell apoptosis. Furthermore, microscopic analysis using confocal microscopy indicated that the representative rhodium(III) complex Rh4 entered A549 cells via energy-dependent pathway and predominantly accumulated in lysosomes, thus leading to the disruption of lysosomal integrity.

Abstract
Transition metal-based anticancer compounds, as an alternative to platinum derivatives, are raising scientific interest as they may present distinct although poorly understood mechanisms of action. We used a structure-activity relationship-based methodology to investigate the chemical and biological features of a series of ten (C^N)-chelated half-sandwich iridiumIII complexes of the general formula [IrCp*(phox)Cl], where (phox) is a 2-phenyloxazoline ligand forming a 5-membered metallacycle. This series of compounds undergoes a fast exchange of their chlorido ligand once solubilised in DMSO. They were cytotoxic to HeLa cells with IC50 values in the micromolar range and induced a rapid activation of caspase-3, an apoptosis marker. In vitro, the oxidative power of all the complexes towards NADH was highlighted but only the complexes bearing substituents on the oxazoline ring were able to produce H2O2 at the micromolar range. However, we demonstrated using a powerful HyPer protein redox sensor-based flow cytometry assay that most complexes rapidly raised intracellular levels of H2O2. Hence, this study shows that oxidative stress can partly explain the cytotoxicity of these complexes on the HeLa cell line and gives a first entry to their mechanism of action.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of chiral pincer-ruthenium complexes of the type (R2NNN)RuCl2 (PPh3) (R = 3-methylbutyl and 3,3-dimethylbutyl) is reported here. The cytotoxicity studies of these complexes were studied and compared with the corresponding activity of achiral complexes. The cytotoxic effect of pincer-ruthenium complexes on human dermal fibroblasts and human tongue carcinoma cells assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay displayed an inhibition of normal and cancer cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level measurement, lactate dehydrogenase assay, DNA fragmentation, and necrosis studies revealed that treatment with pincer-ruthenium complexes induced a redox imbalance in SAS cells by upregulating ROS generation and caused necrotic cell death by disrupting the cellular membrane integrity.

Abstract
The reaction of 2-{2-(benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl)- diazo}-4-methylphenol (HL) with [Ru(PPh3)3Cl2] in ethanol resulted in the carbonylated ruthenium complex [RuL(PPh3)2(CO)] (1), wherein metal-assisted decarbonylation via in situ ethanol dehydrogenation is observed. When the reaction was performed in acetonitrile, however, the complex [RuL(PPh3)2(CH3CN)] (2) was obtained as the main product, probably by trapping of a common intermediate through coordination of CH3CN to the Ru(II) center. The analogous reaction of HL with [Ir(PPh3)3Cl] in ethanol did not result in ethanol decarbonylation and instead gave the organoiridium hydride complex [IrL(PPh3)2(H)] (3). Unambiguous evidence for the generation of CO via ruthenium-assisted ethanol oxidation is provided by the synthesis of the 13C-labeled complex, [Ru(PPh3)2L(13CO)] (1A) using isotopically labeled ethanol, CH313CH2OH. To summarize all the evidence, a ruthenium-assisted mechanistic pathway for the decarbonylation and generation of alkane via alcohol dehydrogenation is proposed. In addition, the in vitro antiproliferative activity of complexes 1-3 was tested against human cervical (HeLa) and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cell lines. Complexes 1-3 showed impressive cytotoxicity against both HeLa (half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 3.84-4.22 μM) and HT-29 cancer cells (IC50 values between 3.3 and 4.5 μM). Moreover, the complexes were comparatively less toxic to noncancerous NIH-3T3 cells.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and characterization of novel pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) iridium(III) complexes [(Cp*)Ir(4-methyl-4'-carboxy-2,2'-bipyridine)Cl]PF6 (Ir-I), the product (Ir-II) from amide coupling of Ir-I to dibenzocyclooctyne-amine, and its conjugate (Ir-CP) with the cyclic nona-peptide c(CRWYDENAC). The familiar three-legged 'piano-stool' configuration for complex Ir-I was confirmed by its single crystal X-ray structure. Significantly, copper-free click strategy has been developed for site-specific conjugation of the parent complex Ir-I to the tumour targeting nona-cyclic peptide. The approach consisted of two steps: (i) the carboxylic acid group of the bipyridine ligand in complex Ir-I was first attached to an amine functionalized dibenzocyclooctyne group via amide formation to generate complex Ir-II; and (ii) the alkyne bond of dibenzocyclooctyne in complex Ir-II underwent a subsequent strain-promoted copper-free cycloaddition with the azide group of the modified peptide. Interestingly, while complex Ir-I was inactive towards A2780 human ovarian cancer cells, complex Ir-II exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity. Targeted complexes such as Ir-CP offer scope for enhanced activity and selectivity of this class of anticancer complexes.
