Role of Seroalbumin in the Cytotoxicity of cis-Dichloro Pt(II) Complexes with (N^N)-Donor Ligands Bearing Functionalized Tails
Given the potent anticancer properties of cisdiamminedichloroplatinum( II) and knowing its mode of action, we synthesized four new cis-[PtCl2(N^N)] organoplatinum complexes, two with N-substituted pbi ligands (pbiR = 1-R-2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole) (namely, 1 and 2) and two more with 4,4′-disubstituted bpy ligands (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) (namely, 3 and 4). We explored their cytotoxicity and ability to bind to deoxyguanosine monophosphate (dGMP), DNA, and albumin models. By 1H NMR and UV−vis spectroscopies, circular dichroism, agarose gel electrophoresis, differential scanning calorimetry measurements, and density functional theory calculations, we verified that only 3 can form aquacomplex s…
Synthesis and characterization of new allyl palladium complexes with thionate ligands; X-ray molecular structures of [Pd3(η3-C4H7)3{pm(Me)2S}2](CF3SO3) and [Pd{pm(Me)2S}2], η3-C4H7=η3-2-MeC3H4, pm(Me)2S=Pyridine-4,6-dimethyl-2-thionate
Abstract The reaction of [Pd(η3-C4H7)]CF3SO3 (η3-C4H7=η3-2-MeC3H4) (1), prepared in situ by reaction of [Pd(η3-C4H7)Cl]2 with AgCF3SO3, with various thionate ligands, gives new polymeric complexes formulated as [Pd(η3-C4H7)(RS)]n (2) [RS=pyS (pyridine-2-thionate)], im(Me)S(imidazole-3-methyl-2-thionate) (3), pm(Me)2S (pyrimidine-4,6-dimethyl-2-thionate) (4). A solution of 4 contaminated with KCF3SO3 evolves to give crystals that correspond to a new polymeric species whose X-ray crystal molecular structure indicates the presence of cationic infinite chains built of trinuclear units, [Pd3(η3-C4H7)3{pm(Me)2S}2]+ (5). Finally, the formation of a mononuclear thionate-containing palladium complex…
Strong Influence of the Ancillary Ligand over the Photodynamic Anticancer Properties of Neutral Biscyclometalated IrIII Complexes Bearing 2-Benzoazole-Phenolates
In this paper, the synthesis, comprehensive characterization and biological and photocatalytic properties of two series of neutral IrIII biscyclometalated complexes of general formula [Ir(C^N)2(N^O)], where the N^O ligands are 2‐(benzimidazolyl)phenolate‐N,O (L1, series a) and 2‐(benzothiazolyl)phenolate‐N,O (L2, series b), and the C^N ligands are 2‐(phenyl)pyridinate or its derivatives, are described,. Complexes of types a and b exhibit dissimilar photophysical and biological properties. In vitro cytotoxicity tests conclusively prove that derivatives of series a are harmless in the dark against SW480 cancer cells (colon adenocarcinoma), but express enhanced cytotoxicity versus the same cel…
