A Deadly Organometallic Luminescent Probe: Anticancer Activity of a ReI Bisquinoline Complex

Abstract: The photophysical properties of [Re(CO)3 (L-N3)]Br (L-N3 =2-azido-N,N-bis[(quinolin-2-yl)methyl]ethanamine), which could not be localized in cancer cells by fluorescence microscopy, have been revisited in order to evaluate its use as a luminescent probe in a biological environment. The Re(I) complex displays concentration-dependent residual fluorescence besides the expected phosphorescence, and the nature of the emitting excited states have been evaluated by DFT and time-dependent (TD) DFT methods. The results… Show more

“…A number of photolabile rhenium(I) derivatives that trigger cell death upon irradiation have also been devised. 1517 These complexes offer temporal and spatial control over activation and therefore could be useful in overcoming systemic toxicity. Recently, octahedral Re(IV) complexes bearing polypyridyl ligands were discovered to exhibit potent in vitro antiproliferative activity against breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer cells.…”

“…When compared with other conventional anticancer treatments, PDT has many advantages, namely spatial and temporal control and the possibility of repeated doses [19,26]. In particular, Re(I) tricarbonyl complexes with ligands derived from bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amine can act as efficient photosensitizers and are endowed with luminescence properties that might also allow for the visualization of their intracellular trafficking by fluorescence microscopy [24,25].…”

In this work, it is reported the preparation and preliminary evaluation of the biological properties of low viscosity chitosan from shrimp shell, modified with (3-carboxypropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (1), coupled with (OC-6-44)-diammine(4-carboxypropanoato) dichloridoethanolatoplatinum(IV) (2) and loaded with the chelating ligand 3, as derived from bis(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)amine for possible coordination of the Re(I) tricarbonyl moiety (Scheme 2).…”
