AB  - The biological activity of Cd compounds has been investigated scarce since Cd has been recognized as a human carcinogen. However, the toxicity of cadmium is comparable to the toxicity of noble metals such as Pt and Pd. The paradigm of metal toxicity has been challenged suggesting that metal toxicity is not a constant property, yet it depends on many factors like the presence of appropriate ligands. Studies on anticancer activity of cadmium complexes showed that the complexation of various ligands resulted in complexes that showed better activities than approved drugs. In the present study, cadmium complexes with biologically potent thiazolyl/selenazoyl-hydrazone ligands have been prepared, and tested for their activity against different types of tumor cell models. The complexation of ligands with Cd(II) resulted in a synergistic effect. The antiproliferative activity study revealed that all complexes are more active compared to 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin. The mechanism of tumor cell growth inhibition reveal that selenium-based compounds induce cell death in T-47D (gland carcinoma) cells through apoptosis via caspase-3/7 activation. Additionally, their pro-apoptotic effect was stronger compared to etoposide and cisplatin. Nuclease activity, detected by gel electrophoresis, may be the possible mechanism of anticancer action of investigated complexes.

AB  - Earth-abundant, cheap and non-toxic zinc-based coordination compounds are drawing research attention as promising candidates for various applications, such as photoluminescent materials and anticancer agents. In this paper we report six zinc complexes (1-3-NO3 and 1-3-Cl) with pyridyl-based thiazolyl-hydrazone ligands, which differ in the nature of substituents at the ligands' periphery, anion type, and geometry around the metal ion. The complexes were characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analysis, as well as IR and NMR spectroscopy. The symmetrical complexes 2-Cl and 3-Cl, where zinc atoms are located at a two-fold axis, do not exhibit photophysical properties, unlike their asymmetrical analogs 2-NO3 and 3-NO3 with the same complex cation. Asymmetrical pentacoordinated 1-Cl and hexacoordinated 1-NO3 complexes exhibit photophysical properties. An admixture of allowed intra-ligand (1IL) and chloro (X)-to-ligand charge-transfer (1XLCT) electronic transitions is responsible for the fluorescence of the 1-Cl complex. The origin of the emission of the 1-NO3 complex is ascribed to an admixture of 3IL and ligand-to-ligand charge-transfer (3LLCT) forbidden electronic transitions, while for 3-NO3 most electronic excitations are of LLCT character. The thermal stability of the complexes is in accord with the strength of respective intermolecular interactions. The antiproliferative activity of the complexes was in the nanomolar range on some of the investigated cancer cell lines. Contrary to the increase of antiproliferative activity of the complexes in comparison to the free ligands in cancer cell lines, an acute toxicity determined in the brine shrimp assay follows the opposite trend. The overall results suggest that Zn(ii) thiazoyl-hydrazone complexes have considerable potential as multifunctional materials.

AB  - The first complexes of 2-pyridylthiocyanate (L) and silver nitrate (1) and perchlorate (2) were prepared
and characterized by a single crystal X-ray analysis. The common structural motif of both 1 and 2 is coordination
of two L molecules via pyridine nitrogen atom to Ag(I). In order to properly describe the nature
of coordinative bonds in 1 and 2, as well as crystal packings in respective structures, a Quantum Theory of
Atoms in Molecule topological analysis was performed. Coordinated nitrate ion provides more electron
density to Ag(I) in comparison to perchlorate ion. Additional electron density in the case of 2 was provided
by the coordination of third L molecule via thiocyanate nitrogen atom resulting in a 1D polymeric
structure. Detailed computational analysis of intermolecular interactions, as well analysis of interactions
between pyridine ring and –SCN group was performed. Antiproliferative activity of monomeric compound
1 was found to be better than of cisplatin on three out of four studied human cancer cell lines.
Docking studies indicate intercalation as a major binding mode of 1 to DNA, while human serum albumin
was revealed as possible carrier for distribution of 1 in the blood stream.

AB  - The novel approach in the treatment of complex multifactorial diseases, such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer, requires a development of efficient multi-targeting oriented drugs. Since oxidative stress significantly contributes to the pathogenesis of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, potential drug candidates should possess good antioxidant properties Due to promising biological activities shown for structurally related (1,3-thiazol-2-yl)hydrazones, a focused library of 12 structurally related benzylidene-based (1,3-selenazol-2-yl)hydrazones was designed as potential multi-targeting compounds. Monoamine oxidases (MAO) A/B inhibition properties of this class of compounds have been investigated. Surprisingly, the p-nitrophenyl-substituted (1,3-selenazol-2-yl)hydrazone 4 showed MAO B inhibition in a nanomolar concentration range (IC50 = 73 nM). Excellent antioxidant properties were confirmed in a number of different in vitro assays. Antiproliferative activity screening on a panel of six human solid tumor cell lines showed that potencies of some of the investigated compounds was comparable or even better than that of the positive control 5-fluorouracil. In-silico calculations of ADME properties pointed to promising good pharmacokinetic profiles of investigated compounds. Docking studies suggest that some compounds, compared to positive controls, have the ability to strongly interact with targets relevant to cancer such as 5'-nucleotidase, and to neurodegenerative diseases such as the small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel protein 1, in addition to confirmation of inhibitory binding at MAO B.
