Polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinylpyridine) was functionalized with a chlorotricarbonyl rhenium(I) diimine complex. Compared to the metal-free copolymer, the copolymer-metal complex exhibited different morphologies, which are highly sensitive to the solvent used for spin-coating and the surface properties of the substrates. Well-defined cylindrical or spherical domains were observed. Due to its ionic nature, the poly(4-vinylpyridine)--rhenium complex block could also serve as a template for subsequent deposition of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles by electrostatic attraction. The pattern of the deposited nanoparticles was found to be the replica of the block copolymer underneath, and their presence on the film surface was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Background/aim: Organometallic complexes can decrease adhesion, migration, invasion of cancer cells, mainly through regulation of the extracellular matrix and therefore act against metastases. The aim was to investigate the anti-invasive properties of a rhenium-based metal compound, rhenium(I)-diselenoether (Re-diSe) and its effects on matrix metalloproteinase MMP-2, a key player in metastatic processes, in cultured MDA-MB231 triple-negative breast cancer cells.
Materials And Methods: Matrigel was utilized to assess cancer cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix.

ER-phagy is a double-edged sword in the occurrence, development, and treatment of cancer; especially, its functions in immunotherapy are still unknown. In this work, we designed a theranostic Re complex () containing a BODIPY-derived ligand and a β-carboline ligand to target the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and block ER-phagy at the late stages. Interestingly, as validated both in vitro and in vivo, ER-phagy blockage greatly enhances the capability of to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD).

Here, a label-free immunosensor was conducted using rGO/Collard-like BiS@Au nanocomposite system to detect carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) as a diagnostic biomarker for Pancreatic cancer. The unique morphology of Collard-like BiS increases its specific surface area, which allows it to immobilize more materials and biomolecules on its surface. To realize the covalent bonding of bismuth-based materials with biomolecules, bismuth-based materials were functionalized by Au NPs.

Novel 6-substituted 2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 5a-5e and coumarin 6a-6d ligands with aldoxime ether linked pyridine moiety were synthesized by O-alkylation of quinoline and coumarin with (E)-picolinaldehyde oxime and subsequently with [Re(CO)Cl] gave rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes 5a-5e and 6a-6d that were fully characterized by NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results of antiproliferative evaluation of quinoline and coumarin ligands and their rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes on various human tumor cell lines, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CCRF-CEM), acute monocytic leukemia (THP1), cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa), colon adenocarcinoma (CaCo-2), T-cell lymphoma (HuT78), and non-tumor human fibroblasts (BJ) showed that the quinoline complexes 5a-5e had higher inhibitory activity than coumarin complexes 6a-6d, particularly against T-cell lymphoma (HuT78) cells. 6-Methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline 5e and 6-methylcoumarin 6d, and their rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes 5e and 6d were found to arrest the cell cycle of HuT78 cells by causing a significant accumulation of cells in the G0/G1 phase and a marked decrease in the number of cells in the G2/M phase.
