A new ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl complex [Ru(dmp)(2)(PddPPn)](ClO4)(2) Ru1 was synthesized and characterized. The cytotoxic activity in vitro of the complex was evaluated by MTT method. Ru1 shows high effect on the inhibition of the cell growth against BEL-7402, HeLa, MG-63 and A549 cells with low IC50 values of 1.6 +/- 0.4, 9.0 +/- 0.8, 1.5 +/- 0.2 and 1.5 +/- 0.3 mu M, respectively. The cellular uptake indicates that Ru1 can enter into the cytoplasm and accumulate in the cell nuclei. Ru1 can induce apoptosis in A549 cells and enhance the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induce the decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, Ru1 can downregulate the levels of Bcl-2, Bcl-x, Bak, and Bim expression and up-regulate the expression of Bag-1 and Bad. The complex induces apoptosis of A549 cells through an intrinsic ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathway, which was accompanied by regulating the expression of caspases and Bcl-2 family proteins.

Structure prediction of physiological bis(amino acidato)copper(II) species in aqueous solution: The copper(II) compounds with L-glutamine and L-histidine

Michael Ramek, Jasmina Sabolovic

Summary: This paper investigates the geometries, energy landscapes, and magnetic parameters of copper(II) amino acid compounds using density functional theory calculations. The results show that certain conformers with histaminate-like and glycine-like modes have low Gibbs free energies and high metal-binding affinities. The predicted conformations reproduce the experimental electron paramagnetic resonance parameters.

Synthesis, characterization and discovery of multiple anticancer mechanisms of dibutyltin complexes based on salen-like ligands

Wei Tian, Wen Zhong, Zengyan Yang, Ling Chen, Shijie Lin, Yanping Li, Yuxing Wang, Peilin Yang, Xing Long

Summary: A series of novel dibutyltin complexes based on salen-like ligands were synthesized and characterized. Complex S03 showed excellent in vitro anticancer activity and induced cancer cell death through multiple mechanisms. This study reveals new mechanisms of organotin complexes and provides new insights into the development of organotin metal complexes as anticancer drugs.

Structural motifs in the early metallation steps of Zn(II) and Cd(II) binding to apo-metallothionein 1a

Natalie C. Korkola, Martin J. Stillman

Summary: Many proteins require a metal cofactor for their function, and these metals play a role in protein folding. The study found that the metallation rates of different metal binding pathways are influenced by pH, with the less cooperative pathway being more affected by low pH conditions. Specific mixtures of structures are formed in the initial steps of metallation, and unfolding the disordered apo-MT structure hinders the formation of these preliminary structures. The compact conformation of the native apo-MT allows for rapid formation of metal-thiolate structures with high affinity, providing protection from oxidation.

DFT mechanistic study of biomimetic diiron complex catalyzed dehydrogenation: Unexpected Fe(III)Fe(III)-1,1-μ-hydroperoxy active species for hydride abstraction

Boxuan Yang, Xitong Song, Binju Wang

Summary: The diiron active site plays a crucial role in catalytic transformations in both biological and chemical systems. Recent advancements in the field include the synthesis of biomimetic diiron catalysts inspired by the active structure of soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO), which have been successfully applied to the dehydrogenation of indolines.
