Abstract

Octahedral copper(ii) complexes of the type [Cu(trien)(diimine)](ClO4)2 (1-4), where trien is triethylenetetramine and diimine is 2,2'-bipyridine (1), 1,10-phenanthroline (2), 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (3), and 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (4), have been isolated. Single crystal X-ray structures of 1 and 2 reveal that the coordination geometry around Cu(ii) is tetragonally distorted octahedral. The stereochemical fluxionality of the complexes illustrates the observed trend in CuII/CuI redox potentials and DNA binding affinity (Kb: 1, 0.030 ± 0.002 < 2, 0.66 ± 0.01 < 3, 1.63 ± 0.10 < 4, 2.27± 0.20 × 105 M-1), determined using absorption spectral titration. All complexes effect oxidative DNA cleavage more efficiently than hydrolytic DNA cleavage. The bpy complex 1 with stereochemical fluxionality lower than its phen analogue 2 shows a higher cytotoxicity against both A549 lung (IC50, 3.3 μM) and MCF-7 human breast (IC50, 3.9 μM) cancer cells, and induces the generation of the highest amount of ROS in A549 cells. Complex 3 with a higher stereochemical fluxionality and higher ligand hydrophobicity exhibits a higher DNA binding and cleavage ability and higher cytotoxicity (IC50, 2.1 μM) towards MCF-7 cells.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.
