trans-Pt(II) Complexes with aliphatic amines and planar amines such as (hydroxymethyl)pyridines, and pyridine-3- and pyridine-4-carboxylic acids were synthesized and screened for their potential cytotoxic activity in different cancer cell lines used at the NCI for in vitro screens, i.e., MCF7, NCIH460, and SF268. The complexes studied were designed to differ in geometrical parameters such as the position of the phenyl-group substituents and the nature of the substituents themselves for gathering information about the structure-activity relationships in the trans-complexes. The variation of the substituents turns to be crucial for their biological activity, as both pyridine-3- and pyridine-4-carboxylic acids in trans-position to both amine and isopropylamine ligands provided complexes which displayed no specificity toward any type of cell tested, while (hydroxymethyl)pyridine in trans-position to isopropylamine ligands led to complexes that were clearly more effective against the cell lines tested.

Platinum-based chemotherapeutics are a cornerstone in the treatment of many malignancies. However, their dose-limiting side effects have rooted efforts to develop new drug candidates with higher selectivity for tumor tissues and less problematic side effects. Here, we developed a cytotoxic platinum(II) complex based on Zeise's salt, containing the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug acetylsalicylic acid and alanine as ligands ().

Fluorescence spectroscopic studies of a pair of new oxido-vanadium(V) compounds with biological thiols, such as homocysteine (Hcy), cysteine (Cys), and glutathione (GSH), have been investigated in this article. Despite notable progress in vanadium-thiol chemistry, no attention has been paid to exploring vanadium-based optical probes to study their interaction with biothiols. For this purpose, two oxido-vanadium(V) compounds, 1 and 2, have been prepared involving a tridentate ONO donor-based luminescent coumarin-derived ligand.

Osimertinib is a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) that is effective in treating both naïve and T790M-mutated EGFR-TKI-resistant non-small cell lung cancer patients. The EGFR C797S mutation is the major osimertinib resistance mechanism. The present study monitored the EGFR C797S mutation during osimertinib treatment in Japanese patients using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).

Background: The paper examines Co(II)-amino acid-imidazole systems (where amino acid = L-α-amino acid: alanine, asparagine, histidine) which, when in aqueous solutions, activate and reversibly take up dioxygen, while maintaining the structural scheme of the heme group (imidazole as axial ligand and O uptake at the sixth, trans position) thus imitating natural respiratory pigments such as myoglobin and hemoglobin. The oxygenated reaction shows higher reversibility than for Co(II)-amac systems with analogous amino acids without imidazole. Unlike previous investigations of the heteroligand Co(II)-amino acid-imidazole systems, the present study accurately calculates all equilibrium forms present in solution and determines the [Formula: see text]equilibrium constants without using any simplified approximations.

A mononuclear hexa-coordinated iron carbonyl complex [Fe(μ-bdt)(CO)(PTA)] 1 (bdt = 1,2-benzenedithiolate; PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) with two bulky phosphine ligands in the trans position was synthesized and characterized by X-ray structural analysis coulometry data, FTIR, electrochemistry and electronic structure calculations. The complex undergoes a facilitated two-electron reduction 1/1 and shows an inverted one-electron reduction for 1/1 at higher potentials. Electrochemical investigations of 1 are compared to the closely related [Fe(bdt)(CO)(PMe)] compound.
