Article Abstract
Ruthenium-based complexes have received much interest as potential metallodrugs. In this work, four Ru complexes bearing a dicarbollide moiety, a carbonyl ligand, and a phenanthroline-based ligand were synthesized and characterized, including single crystal diffraction analysis of compounds , , and and an observed side product . Complexes - are air and moisture stable under ambient conditions. They show excellent solubility in organic solvents, but low solubility in water.

Photoactivatable metallodrugs combining tumor cell eradication and immune stimulation hold immense promise for targeted cancer therapy. However, limitations such as oxygen dependence, narrow visible light responsiveness, and poor immunogenicity hinder their efficacy in deep solid tumors with hypoxic and immunosuppressive microenvironments. Herein, we present a novel design strategy for transition metal(II)-coordinated ligand radicals exhibiting intense near-infrared-II (NIR-II) absorption, unique endoplasmic reticulum-targeting capability, and oxygen-independent photothermal performance, effectively addressing these constraints.

As a multifactorial and heterogeneous disease, cancer has a high mortality rate, and the search for more effective treatments is an enormous challenge. Metal coordination compounds open a range of possibilities that conventional organic and biological molecules can no longer fulfil due to increasing drug resistance. Metallodrugs still have tremendous potential to help overcome drug resistance and find new cures in medicine, considering that at least 25 metallic elements participate in healthy functioning of the human body.

Copper(II)-based complexes are promising candidates as anti-cancer agents due to their ability to target cancer cells. Here we describe the synthesis and characterization of two copper(II) thiosemicarbazone complexes with the ligands 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde N4-methylthiosemicarbazone (HL) and 4-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde N4-(4-(dimethylamino)phenylthiosemicarbazone (HL) and general formula [Cu(L)]. The complexes show stability in aqueous solution with 1 % of DMSO that allows to stablish its solution profile in biological buffers.

The synthesis of three novel curcumin derivative compounds, featuring aza-crown ether macrocycles of various sizes (aza-12-crown-4, aza-15-crown-5, and aza-18-crown-6), is described. The incorporation of these aza-crown macrocycles significantly enhances their water solubility, positioning them as groundbreaking instances of curcumin derivatives that are fully soluble in aqueous environments. These curcumin ligands (L1, L2, and L3) were then reacted with zinc acetate to afford the coordination metal complexes (L1-Zn, L2-Zn, and L3-Zn).
