Introduction: Cancer refer to genetic changes in the DNA structure accompanied by abnormal growth of normal cells, and resulting in the death of these structures, and is a disease currently recognized as a major cause of mortality globally. Chemotherapy plays important role in breast cancer management. Non-toxic metals have been developed to replace the highly toxic cisplatin, an example being Manganese. Furthermore, Ligands have displayed great capabilities in the determination of anticancer properties, and an essential agent exploited in drug development is arginine dithiocarbamate. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the anticancer potentials of Mn (II) arginine dithiocarbamate.
Methods: The synthesis and spectroscopic analysis of the Mn (II) Arginine dithiocarbamate complex was successfully carried out. Then, the complexes were characterized through the employment of the UV-Vis, FT-IR, as well as the melting point tests, and subsequently analyzed for anticancer activities through in vitro means. The compound was produced from UV-Vis spectrum at 246 and 385 nm wavelengths and IR spectrum at wave numbers 354-499 cm.
Results: The results revealed the cytotoxicity of Mn (II) Arginine dithiocarbamate against the MCF-7 cell line, observed from a significant change in the morphology of the cancer cells with IC50 value of 211.53 μg/mL.
Conclusion: The compound, Mn (II) Arginine dithiocarbamate has effective anticancer potentials against MCF-7 cancer cells.

Nitric oxide synthase inhibition by -nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) plus a high-salt diet (HS) is a model of chronic kidney disease (CKD) characterized by marked hypertension and renal injury. With cessation of treatment, most of these changes subside, but progressive renal injury develops, associated with persistent low-grade renal inflammation. We investigated whether innate immunity, and in particular the NF-κB system, is involved in this process.

Nitric oxide inhibition with -nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME), along with salt overload, leads to hypertension, albuminuria, glomerulosclerosis, glomerular ischemia, and interstitial fibrosis, characterizing a chronic kidney disease (CKD) model. Previous findings of this laboratory and elsewhere have suggested that activation of at least two pathways of innate immunity, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome/IL-1β, occurs in several experimental models of CKD and that progression of renal injury can be slowed with inhibition of these pathways. In the present study, we investigated whether activation of innate immunity, through either the TLR4/NF-κB or NLRP3/IL-1β pathway, is involved in the pathogenesis of renal injury in chronic nitric oxide inhibition with the salt-overload model.
