AB  - Three coordination compounds featuring different types of tetracopper(II) cores, namely
[O⊂Cu4{N(CH2CH2O)3}4(BOH)4][BF4]2 (1), [Cu4(μ4-H2edte)(μ5-H2edte)(sal)2]n·7nH2O, (H4edte=N,N,N′,
N′-tetrakis(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine, H2sal=salicylic acid) (2), and [{Cu4(μ3-Hbes)4(μ-hba)}K
(H2O)3]n, H3bes=N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (3), were assayed for their potency to
inhibit the acetyl (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) enzymes aiming to test these compounds as potential
dual inhibitors in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. All the investigated compounds showed a strong
inhibitory potency toward both enzymes with IC50 values in micromolar range of concentration; compound 1
displayed the most potent inhibitory behaviour toward both enzymes. The mechanism of the AChE and BuChE
inhibition was examined by enzyme kinetic measurements. The obtained kinetic parameters, Vmax and Km indicated
an uncompetitive type of inhibition of both enzymes by compound 1. For the other two compounds a
non-competitive inhibition mode was observed. To get further insight into the mechanism of action and to
elucidate binding modes in details we examined the interactions of 1–3 with acetylcholinesterase, using molecular
docking approach. Grid based docking studies indicated that these compounds can bind to peripheral
anionic site (PAS) of the AChE with Ki values in micromolar range. Moreover, blind docking revealed the
capability of investigated compounds to bind to new allosteric site (i.e. binding site II) distinct from PAS.
Showing that these Cu-based compounds can act as new allosteric inhibitors of AChE and identifying novel
allosteric binding site on AChE represents a significant contribution toward the design of novel and more
effective inhibitors of AChE.

AB  - New anticancer platinum(II) compounds simultaneously targeting tumor cells and tumor-derived neoangiogenesis, with new DNA interacting mode and large therapeutic window are appealing alternative to improve efficacy of clinical platinum chemotherapeutics. Herein, we describe three novel dinuclear [{Pt(en)Cl}2(μ-L)]2+ complexes with different pyridine-like bridging ligands (L), 4,4′-bipyridine (Pt1), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (Pt2) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (Pt3), which highly, positively charged aqua derivatives, [{Pt(en)(H2O)}2(μ-L)]4+, interact with the phosphate backbone forming DNA-Pt adducts with an unique and previously undescribed binding mode, called a minor groove covering. The results of this study suggested that the new binding mode of the aqua-Pt(II) complexes with DNA could be attributed to the higher anticancer activities of their chloride analogues. All three compounds, particularly complex [{Pt(en)Cl}2(μ-4,4′-bipy)]Cl2·2H2O (4,4′-bipy is 4,4′-bipyridine) (Pt1), overcame cisplatin resistance in vivo in the zebrafish–mouse melanoma xenograft model, showed much higher therapeutic potential than antiangiogenic drug sunitinib malate, while effectively blocking tumor neovascularization and melanoma cell metastasis. Overall therapeutic profile showed new dinuclear Pt(II) complexes could be novel, effective and safe anticancer agents. Finally, the correlation with the structural characteristics of these complexes can serve as a useful tool for developing new and more effective anticancer drugs.

AB  - Statistical analysis of data from crystal structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has shown that S and Se atoms display a similar tendency towards specific types of interaction if they are part of a fragment that corresponds to the side chains of cysteine (Cys), methionine (Met) selenocysteine (Sec) and selenomethionine (Mse). The most numerous are structures with C-H..Se and C-H..S interactions (∼80%), notably less numerous are structures with Se..Se and S..S interactions (∼5%), and Se..π and S..π interactions are the least numerous. The results of quantum-chemical calculations have indicated that C-H..Se (∼-0.8 kcal mol-1) and C-H..S interactions are weaker than the most stable parallel interaction (∼-3.3 kcal mol-1) and electrostatic interactions of σ/π type (∼-2.6 kcal mol-1). Their significant presence can be explained by the abundance of CH groups compared with the numbers of Se and S atoms in the crystal structures, and also by the influence of substituents bonded to the Se or S atom that further reduce their possibilities for interacting with species from the environment. This can also offer an explanation as to why O-H..Se (∼-4.4 kcal mol-1) and N-H..Se interactions (∼-2.2 kcal mol-1) are less numerous. Docking studies revealed that S and Se rarely participate in interactions with the amino acid residues of target enzymes, mostly because those residues preferentially interact with the substituents bonded to Se and S. The differences between Se and S ligands in the number and positions of their binding sites are more pronounced if the substituents are polar and if there are more Se/S atoms in the ligand.

AB  - Fluorapatite doped with rare-earth elements has a wide-range of biomedical applications. Here, a new type of fluorapatite nanocrystals doped with praseodymium (FAP-Pr) with excitation-emission profiles in visible part of the spectrum is fabricated. Energy levels of Pr3+ activator ion contain metastable multiplet states that offer the possibility of efficient multicolor emission lines in FAP nanocrystals. Three types of FAP-Pr nanocrystals with 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% atomic percent of Pr3+ (along with the undoped FAP control sample) are studied. Their novel chemical production method is described, the FAP-Pr nanocrystals structure, biocompatibility and the suitability for cell imaging are analyzed. Physicochemical characterization confirms crystals down to nanometer size. In addition, quantum-chemical calculation predicts that Pr3+ ions are incorporated into the FAP crystal lattice at Ca2 (6 h) sites. In vitro viability results shows that FAP-Pr nanocrystals are nontoxic to live cells. Additionally, the cell uptake of the FAP-Pr nanocrystals is studied using fluorescence-based widefield and confocal microscopy. The nanocrystals show characteristic green emission at 545 nm (3P0→3H5 transition of Pr3+ ion) and orange emission at 600 nm (1D2→3H4), which we use to discriminate from cell autofluorescence background. Orthogonal projections across 3D confocal stacks show that the nanocrystals are able to enter the cells positioning themselves within the cytoplasm. Overall, the new FAP-Pr nanocrystals are biocompatible and of the tested types, the 0.5% Pr3+ doped nanocrystals show the highest promise as a tracking nanoparticle probe for bioimaging applications.

AB  - Fluorination of compounds causes an increase in the proton-donating ability and a decrease in the proton-accepting capacity of groups in their vicinity. The formation of F···F interactions is followed by the shift of the electron density in the area of F···F contact, which creates a new region with a larger surface area, a higher negative potential, and, hence, a more pronounced accepting ability. The new region also has a greater ability to form multiple (simultaneous) interactions with species from the environment, thus compensating for the reduction of the accepting capacity of the groups in the vicinity. This phenomenon explains not only the abundance of F···F interactions in crystal structures, but also a large number of structures with F···O interactions. Only C–H···F interactions are more numerous than F···F interactions in crystal structures, which indicates a high affinity of fluorinated compounds for nonpolar groups.

AB  - With regard to the harmful effects of heavy metals on human health and the environment, the demand for synthesis and investigation of macromolecules with large capacity of harmful substances sorption is ever greater. Quantum-chemical methods may be applied in structural modeling, prediction, and characterization of such molecules and reactions. Sorption of metal ions (Cu2+, Cd2+, Co2+, and Ni2+) to triethylenetetramine-functionalized copolymer poly(GMA-co-EGDMA)-teta was successfully modeled by quantum chemical calculations, at the B3LYP//6–311++G**/lanl2dz level. Optimized structures of metal complexes were used for calculation of real binding energy of metal ion within the complex (ΔEr). Solvent and hydrolyzation effects were essential for obtaining the objective values. Solvent effect was included in ΔEr by using the total solvation energy for reaction of formation of tetaOH complex (ΔEs1, the first approach) or by using dehydration energy of free metal ion (ΔEs2, the second approach). Experimental results were confirmed in our theoretical analyses (using the second approach).

AB  - Polymer-based, highly porous nanocomposites with functionalized ligands attached to the core structure are extremely efficient in the detection, removal and recovery of metals through the process of sorption. Quantum-chemical models could be helpful for sorption process analyses. The sorption of Cu(II) ions by amino-functionalized chelating macroporous copolymers poly(GMA-co-EGDMA)-amine and sorption selectivity of the subject copolymers, ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien) and triethylenetetramine (trien), were successfully modelled by quantum chemical calculations. Considering the crystal structures from CSD and experimental conditions during the formation of metal complexes, the most frequent mononuclear complexes are those with the tetradentate teta ligand, while binuclear complexes are formed when the metal ion is in large excess. Although the en-copolymer was the most effective functionalized one, higher maximum sorption capacities (Qmax) were observed for the dien- and trien-copolymers, due to their abilities to form binuclear complexes. The enthalpy term has the greatest contribution to the total Gibbs energy change of reaction for the formation of mononuclear Cu(II) complexes (ΔGaq), while the solvation energy of the reaction has the greatest contribution in the formation of binuclear complexes. The results of the study indicate that small amines with the ability to form binuclear complex are the best choice for functionalization of the considered copolymer.
AB  - Квантнохемијско моделовање се показало као корисна алатка за разјашњавање процеса сорпције, као и за предвиђање структуре насталих производа те сорпције. Уз помоћ квантнохемијских прорачуна успешно су моделаовани процеси сорпције Cu(II) јона и селективност тих сорпција на амино-функционализованим хелатним кополимерима поли(глицидил-метакрилат-ко-етиленгликол-диметакрилат) (поли(GMA-ко- 
-ЕGDMA)) са различитим бројем амино група у свом саставу (етилен (-en), диетилентриамин (-dien) и триетилентетраамин (-trien) кополимери). Узимајући у обзир кристалне структуре из CSD и експерименталне услове приликом формирања комплекса са Cu(II) јоном, дошли смо до закључака да су најчешће структуре мононуклеарних комплекса са тетрадентатно везаним лигандима, али да се бинуклеарни комплекси јављају
када је јон металa у вишку у односу на кополимер. Без обзира на то што је кополимер са en-лигандима најефикасније функционализован, најбоља сорпција Cu(II) јона (Qmax) се, 
ипак одиграва на dien- и trien-кополимерима. Овакав резултат је последица боље способности dien и trien лиганада за грађење бинуклеарних комплекса са Cu(II) јонима. Највећи допринос укупној промени Гибсове енергије реакције грађења мононуклеарног Cu(II) комплекса (ΔGaq) потиче од енталпијског члана. Међутим, пресудну улогу на формирање бинуклеарних комплекса има солватациона енергија. Резултати наше студије показују да су краћи амини са могућношћу формирања бинуклеарних комплекса најбољи избор приликом функционализације разматраних кополимера за потребе сорпције Cu(II) јона.

AB  - A series of five derivatives of the anticonvulsant drug phenytoin was synthesized, and their crystal structures were determined. The relationship between the molecular and crystal structure of the investigated compounds was rationalized in the context of contribution of intermolecular interactions and supramolecular structural motifs. The conformational preferences were analyzed by comparing the rotational freedom of the phenyl groups in the investigated compounds with 5,5-diphenylhydantoins from the Cambridge Structural Database. With the exception of compound 3 bearing the cyclopropyl group, the crystal packing of the investigated compounds contains centrosymmetric dimers linked by paired N–H···O hydrogen bonds, which further self-organize through pairs of C–H···O interactions and a parallel interaction of two phenyl rings at a large offset into chains running along the c-axis. The principal feature of the crystal structure of compound 3 is formation of the chains by N–H···O hydrogen bonds and C–H···O and C–H···π interactions. The coordination of phenytoin enables more rotational freedom for the phenyl groups. An emphasis was placed on docking of the investigated compounds into the voltage-gated ion channel in the open and closed state. The obtained results indicate that hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions are dominant in stabilizing energetically favored orientations of the investigated compounds bound to the protein.

AB  - The synthesis, spectroscopic characterization, cytotoxic activity and DNA binding evaluation of seven new dinuclear platinum(ii) complexes Pt1-Pt7, with the general formula [{Pt(L)Cl}(2)(-1,5-nphe)](ClO4)(2) (1,5-nphe is 1,5-naphthyridine; while L is two ammines (Pt1) or one bidentate coordinated diamine: ethylenediamine (Pt2), (+/-)-1,2-propylenediamine (Pt3), trans-(+/-)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (Pt4), 1,3-propylenediamine (Pt5), 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propylenediamine (Pt6), and 1,3-pentanediamine (Pt7)), were reported. In vitro cytotoxic activity of these complexes was evaluated against three tumor cell lines, murine colon carcinoma (CT26), murine mammary carcinoma (4T1) and murine lung cancer (LLC1) and two normal cell lines, murine mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and human fibroblast (MRC-5) cells. The results of the MTT assay indicate that all investigated complexes have almost no cytotoxic effects on 4T1 and very low cytotoxicity toward LLC1 cell lines. In contrast to the effects on LLC1 and 4T1 cells, complexes Pt1 and Pt2 had significant cytotoxic activity toward CT26 cells. Complex Pt1 had a much lower IC50 value for activity on CT26 cells compared with cisplatin. In comparison with cisplatin, all dinuclear Pt1-Pt7 complexes showed lower cytotoxicity toward normal MSC and MRC-5 cells. In order to measure the amount of platinum(ii) complexes taken up by the cells, we quantified the cellular platinum content using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-QMS). Molecular docking studies performed to evaluate the potential binding mode of dinuclear platinum(ii) complexes Pt1-Pt7 and their aqua derivatives W1-W7, respectively, at the double stranded DNA showed that groove spanning and backbone tracking are the most stable binding modes.

AB  - The present paper deals with investigation of the interaction between selected simple structure Au(iii) ([AuCl4](-), [AuCl2(dmso)(2)](+), [AuCl2(bipy)](+)) and Pt(ii) ([PtCl2(dmso)(2)]) complexes with Na/K-ATPase as the target enzyme, using an experimental and theoretical approach. Reaction stoichiometries and binding constants for these enzyme/complex systems were determined, while kinetic measurements were used in order to reveal the type of inhibition. Based on the results obtained by quantum mechanical calculations (electrostatic surface potential (ESP), volume and surface of the complexes) the nature of the investigated complexes was characterized. By using the solvent accessible surface area (SASA) applied on specific inhibitory sites (ion channel and intracellular domains) the nature of these sites was described. Docking studies were used to determine the theoretical probability of the non-covalent metal binding site positions. Inhibition studies implied that all the investigated complexes decreased the activity of the enzyme while the kinetic analysis indicated an uncompetitive mode of inhibition for the selected complexes. Docking results suggested that the main inhibitory site of all these complexes is located in the ion translocation pathway on the extracellular side in the E2P enzyme conformation, similar to the case of cardiac glycosides, specific Na/K-ATPase inhibitors. Also, based on our knowledge, the hydrolyzed forms of [AuCl4](-) and [PtCl2(dmso)(2)] complexes were investigated for the first time by theoretical calculations in this paper. Thereby, a new inhibitory site situated between the M2 and M4 helices was revealed. Binding in this site induces conformational changes in the enzyme domains and perturbs the E1-E2P conformational equilibrium, causing enzyme inhibition.

AB  - Na/K-ATPase is emerging as an important target for a variety of anticancer metal-based drugs. The interactions of Na/K-ATPase (in its E1 state) with three representative and structurally related cytotoxic gold(III) complexes, i.e. [Au(bipy)(OH)(2)][PF6], bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine; [Au(py(dmb)-H)(CH3COO)(2)], py(dmb)-H = deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-pyridine and [Au(bipy(dmb)-H)(OH)][PF6], bipy(c)-H = deprotonated 6-(1,1-dimethylbenzyl)-2,20-bipyridine, are investigated here in depth using a variety of spectroscopic methods, in combination with docking studies. Detailed information is gained on the conformational and structural changes experienced by the enzyme upon binding of these gold(III) complexes. The quenching constants of intrinsic enzyme fluorescence, the fraction of Trp residues accessible to gold(III) complexes and the reaction stoichiometries were determined in various cases. Specific hypotheses are made concerning the binding mode of these gold(III) complexes to the enzyme and the likely binding sites. Differences in their binding behaviour toward Na/K-ATPase are explained on the ground of their distinctive structural features. The present results offer further support to the view that Na/K-ATPase may be a relevant biomolecular target for cytotoxic gold(III) compounds of medicinal interest and may thus be involved in their overall mode of action.

AB  - The in vitro effects of oxo-bridged binuclear gold(III) complexes, i.e., [(bipy2Me)(2)Au-2(mu-O)(2)][PF6](2) (Auoxo6), Au-2[(bipydmb-H)(2)(mu-O)][PF6] (Au(2)bipyC) and [Au-2(phen(2Me))(2)(mu-O)(2)](PF6)(2) (Au(2)phen) on Na/K-ATPase, purified from the porcine cerebral cortex, were investigated. All three studied gold complexes inhibited the enzyme activity in a concentration-dependent manner achieving IC50 values in the low micromolar range. Kinetic analysis suggested an uncompetitive mode of inhibition for Auoxo6 and Au(2)bipyC, and a mixed type one for Au(2)phen. Docking studies indicated that the inhibitory actions of all tested complexes are related to E2-P enzyme conformation binding to ion channel and intracellular part between N and P sub-domain. In addition, Au(2)phen was able to inhibit the enzyme by interacting with its extracellular part as well. Toxic effects of the gold(III) complexes were evaluated in vitro by following lactate dehydrogenase activity in rat brain synaptosomes and incidence of micronuclei and cytokinesis-block proliferation index in cultivated human lymphocytes. All investigated complexes turned out to induce cytogenetic damage consisting of a significant decrease in cell proliferation and an increase in micronuclei in a dose-dependent manner. On the other hand, lactate dehydrogenase activity, an indicator of membrane integrity/viability, was not affected by Auoxo6 and Au(2)bipyC, while Au(2)phen slightly modified its activity.

AB  - The extracellular nucleotides act as neurotransmitters and signaling molecules in CNS, binding to a P2X and P2Y receptors. Their concentration regulates a cascade of membrane ecto enzymes, including the ecto-nucleotide triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (E-NTPDases). In many neuropathological conditions, such as neuroinflammatory, epilepsy, depression and migraine, altering of E-NTPDase activity was observed. The objective of this study was to investigate whether Gentiana lutea (G. lutea) extracts affect E-NTPDase activity and which of their constituents (loganic acid, gentiopicroside, isovitexin, amarogentin and isogentisin) exert inhibitory activity. The constituent's concentration in the extracts was determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). Extracts and constituents were tested with E-NTPDase displayed on the rat synaptosomal membrane as well as by molecular docking study. Ethanol water extract (50%, v/v) exerted significant level of inhibition (52%) at concentration of 200 mg mL(-1). By inhibition studies with single constituents about 30% inhibition was achieved in any case, thus the model of one substrate acting on two enzymes was used to determine IC50 values. Molecular docking study revealed amarogentin, isovitexin and isogentisin dimer as the potent E-NTPDase inhibitors with the binding energies ranging from -9.4 to -10 kcal mol(-1) versus -8.0 kcal mol(-1) for ATP. Presence of isogentisin only in ethanol water extracts may explain their better inhibitory acitivities. Findings of this study are useful from the perspective of safety of products based on G. lutea extracts, while investigated constituents belong to secoiridoids and xanthones class of compounds could be considered as a source of potential E-NTPDase inhibitors.

AB  - The aim of the present paper was to investigate the reaction of quercetin, the flavonol very often used as a dietary supplement, with [AuCl4](-) ions. The reaction was studied spectrophotometrically using the equimolar solutions in 1 : 1 water-methanol at pH similar to 2. The spectrophotometric data indicated the formation of the products with an absorption maximum at 295 nm in all cases, characteristic of the oxidized forms of quercetin. HPLC coupled with DAD and LC-MS analysis of the reaction products suggested that the oxidation of quercetin resulted in the generation of similar metabolites including quinone and various oxidized quercetin-solvent adducts. In addition, cyclic voltammetric measurements confirmed that under applied experimental conditions, the reduction of Au(III) to Au(0) took place. The reduction species in the reaction mixture were Au(III) ions, while Au(I) disproportionates back to Au(III) and Au(0). The newly generated Au(III) ions further oxidized 3'-4'-dihydroxy groups of quercetin adducts obtained after first 2e(-) oxidation, giving the final reaction products. Based on the identification of reaction products, the reaction mechanism for the oxidation of quercetin in the presence of Au(III) which involves two 2e(-) transfer processes was proposed.
