摘要

The hydrolytic ability toward plasmid DNA of a mononuclear and a binuclear Zn(II) complex with two macrocyclic ligands, containing respectively a phenanthroline (L1) and a dipyridine moiety (L2), was analyzed at different pH values and compared with their activity in bis(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) cleavage. Only the most nucleophilic species [ZnL1(OH)](+) and [Zn(2)L2(OH)(2)](2+), present in solution at alkaline pH values, are active in BNPP cleavage, and the dinuclear L2 complex is remarkably more active than the mononuclear L1 one. Circular dichroism and unwinding experiments show that both complexes interact with DNA in a nonintercalative mode. Experiments with supercoiled plasmid DNA show that both complexes can cleave DNA at neutral pH, where the L1 and L2 complexes display a similar reactivity. Conversely, the pH-dependence of their cleavage ability is remarkably different. The reactivity of the mononuclear complex, in fact, decreases with pH while that of the dinuclear one is enhanced at alkaline pH values. The efficiency of the two complexes in DNA cleavage at different pH values was elucidated by means of a quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) study on the adducts between DNA and the different complexed species present in solution.

Tuning the coordination properties of chiral pseudopeptide bis(2-picolyl)amine and iminodiacetamide ligands in Zn(ii) and Cu(ii) complexes

Natalija Pantalon Juraj, Tana Tandaric, Vanja Tadic, Berislav Peric, Dominik Moreth, Ulrich Schatzschneider, Anamaria Brozovic, Robert Vianello, Srecko Kirin

Summary: In this study, the coordination properties of ligands were investigated by modifying their side chain structure. The results showed that the length of the aliphatic linker, isomers of the amide group, and the type of chiral terminal group all had an impact on the coordination properties. Additionally, DFT calculations provided insights into the stability of isomers and the potential hydrogen bonding between ligands in a ML2 complex.

Anticancer Activity and Mode of Action of Cu(II), Zn(II), and Mn(II) Complexes with 5-Chloro-2-N-(2-quinolylmethylene)aminophenol

Shuangshuang Gai, Liqin He, Mingxian He, Xuwei Zhong, Caiyun Jiang, Yiming Qin, Ming Jiang

Summary: Developing a new generation of anticancer metal-based drugs that can both kill tumor cells and inhibit cell migration is a promising strategy. In this study, we synthesized three Cu(II), Zn(II), and Mn(II) complexes derived from 5-chloro-2-N-(2-quinolylmethylene)aminophenol (C1-C3). Among them, the Cu(II) complex (C1) showed superior cytotoxicity to lung cancer cell lines compared to cisplatin. Furthermore, C1 demonstrated inhibitory effects on A549 cell metastasis and tumor growth in vivo, and its anticancer mechanism involved multiple pathways such as inducing mitochondrial apoptosis, acting on DNA, blocking cell cycle arrest, inducing cell senescence, and causing DNA damage.

Supuran, Alice Nicolai, Susanna Scarpa, Samanta Taurone, Michele Camarda, Marco Artico, Veronica Papa, Francesco Saccoliti, Luigi Scipione, Roberto Di Santo, Roberta Costi

Summary: Solid tumors create a hostile environment for surrounding cells by decreasing pH through producing metabolic acids. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) play a role in acid/base regulation and are clinically relevant in cancer therapy. This study describes new diketo acid derivatives as nanomolar inhibitors of the CA IX and XII isoforms, with selectivity over CAs I and II. These compounds showed antiproliferative activity in tumor cell lines overexpressing CA IX and XII, with no effect on normal cells.

Computational studies were performed to simulate the protein-ligand interactions. Therefore, compound 17 could be considered a lead compound for the treatment of chronic neurodegenerative and cancer diseases with synergistic effects.

Teresa Gianferrara, Matteo Pavan, Davide Bassani, Fabrizio Vincenzi, Silvia Pasquini, Giovanni Bolcato, Katia Varani, Giampiero Spalluto, Stephanie Federico, Stefano Moro

Summary: Traditionally, molecular recognition between adenosine receptors and their ligands has been thought to occur with a 1:1 stoichiometry. However, recent simulations suggest an alternative 2:1 binding stoichiometry. In this study, a bis-ribosyl adenosine derivative, BRA1, was synthesized and tested for its binding and activation abilities on adenosine receptors, with molecular modeling used to rationalize its activity.

Thermal Titration Molecular Dynamics (TTMD): Not Your Usual Post-Docking Refinement

Silvia Menin, Matteo Pavan, Veronica Salmaso, Mattia Sturlese, Stefano Moro

Summary: Molecular docking is commonly used in rational drug design due to its rapid execution and accurate results. However, docking programs can sometimes have inaccuracies in scoring and ranking generated poses. To address this, researchers have proposed post-docking filters and refinement protocols, including pharmacophore models and molecular dynamics simulations. This study presents the application of Thermal Titration Molecular Dynamics (TTMD) to refine docking results by evaluating protein-ligand unbinding kinetics.

Pyrene-Containing Polyamines as Fluorescent Receptors for Recognition of PFOA in Aqueous Media

Yschtar Tecla Simonini Steiner, Giammarco Maria Romano, Lara Massai, Martina Lippi, Paola Paoli, Patrizia Rossi, Matteo Savastano, Andrea Bencini

Summary: The globally widespread perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a concerning environmental contaminant. Two triamine-based chemosensors, L1 and L2, along with their Zn(II) complexes, are proposed as fluorescent probes for detecting PFOA in water. The receptors interact with PFOA through salt bridge formation, causing a decrease in the fluorescence emission of pyrene. This study demonstrates the potential use of simple polyamine-based molecular receptors for optical recognition of harmful pollutants like PFOA in aqueous media.

Summary: The FDA has approved MAPK inhibitors for treating melanoma patients with BRAF gene mutation in the V600 codon. However, rare BRAF mutations outside the V600 codon may also cause melanoma, and their response to BRAF inhibitor treatment is still not well understood. In this study, a patient with a rare p.T599dup B-RAF mutation was found to have a good response to Dabrafenib/Trametinib targeted therapy. In-silico modeling showed that Dabrafenib could effectively bind to this rare mutation, suggesting the possibility of broadening the spectrum of BRAF inhibitor-sensitive mutations beyond the V600 codon.

Inhibition Profiles of Some Novel Sulfonamide-Incorporated a-Aminophosphonates on Human Carbonic Anhydrases

Marjan Sobati, Morteza Abdoli, Alessandro Bonardi, Paola Gratteri, Claudiu T. Supuran, Raivis Zalubovskis

Summary: A series of novel sulfonamide-incorporated α-aminophosphonate derivatives were synthesized, utilizing a one-pot, two-step FeCl3-catalyzed coupling reaction. These compounds were tested for inhibition against four different isoforms of carbonic anhydrase, including human cytosolic (h) hCA I and II (off-targets), as well as transmembrane cancer-related hCA IX and XII (targets). Among the synthesized compounds, derivative 23 exhibited the highest selectivity towards the cancer-associated isoforms over the off-target hCA I and hCA II, and the binding mode of both enantiomers R and S was investigated using in silico studies.

Veronica Salmaso, Margherita Persico, Tatiana Da Ros, Giampiero Spalluto, Sonja Kachler, Karl-Norbert Klotz, Stefano Moro, Stephanie Federico

Summary: This study investigates the structural features of ligands leading to affinity and/or selectivity at adenosine receptors. The findings suggest that bulky acyl moieties at position N5 and small alkyl groups at position N8 are associated with affinity and selectivity at the A(3) receptor. Meanwhile, a free amino function at the 5 position induces high affinity at the A(2A) and A(1) receptors.

Inorganic anion recognition in aqueous solution by coupling nearby highly hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties in a macrocyclic receptor

Giammarco M. Romano, Matteo Savastano, Carla Bazzicalupi, Riccardo Chelli, Vito Lippolis, Andrea Bencini

Summary: This study describes a receptor L with pentaprotic base properties and investigates its interactions with different anions. The research finds that the complexes formed with F- are the most stable, followed by those formed with Cl- and Br-. However, the complexes formed with I- and oxo-anions have lower stability. The receptor L interacts with anions through salt bridging and π contacts. The binding of anions quenches the fluorescence emissions of the receptor.
