The electronic absorption spectra of 2 P1 and 2 P3 in MeCN at −30 °C show two bands at 340 (ε = 5800) and 400 (ε = 3100) nm and at 340 (ε = 5600) and 400 (ε = 3200 M −1 cm −1 ) nm, respectively.…”

“…Moreover, 1 P2 exerted relatively high cancer cell-selective cytotoxicity. The caspase activity assay and intracellular visualization of 1 P2 by the phenathrenyl group as a fluorescent probe revealed that mitochondrial apoptosis plays a key role in cancer cell-selective cytotoxicity by 1 P2 . In this stage, however, the systematic design of DNA target/ligand conjugates has not been addressed to optimize cancer cell-selective cytotoxicity.…”

The DNA target/ligand conjugates (HLX, X = Pn and Mn, n = 1–3) were synthesized where various lengths of −CONH(CH2CH2O) n CH2CH2NHCO– linkers with a 9-phenanthrenyl (P) or methyl (M) terminal as DNA targets replace the methyl group of 2,6-di(amide-tether cyclen)-p-cresol ligand (HL). DNA binding, DNA cleavage, cellular uptake, and cytotoxicity of [Cu2(μ-OH)(LX)](ClO4)2 (1X ) are examined and compared with those of [Cu2(μ-OH)(L)](ClO4)2 (1) to clarify roles of DNA targets. Upon reaction of 1X with H2O2, μ-1,1-O2H complexes are formed for DNA cleavage. 1P1 , 1P2 , and 1P3 are 22-, 11-, 3-fold more active for conversion of Form II to III in the cleavage of supercoiled plasmid DNA with H2O2 than 1, where the short P-linker may fix a dicopper moiety within a small number of base pairs to facilitate DNA double-strand breaks (dsb). This enhances the proapoptotic activity of 1P1 , 1P2 , and 1P3 , which are 30-, 12-, and 9.9-fold cytotoxic against HeLa cells than 1. DNA dsb and cytotoxicity are 44% correlated in 1P1–3 but 5% in 1M1–3 , suggesting specific DNA binding of P-linkers and nonspecific binding of M-linkers in biological cells. 1P1–3 exert cancer cell-selective cytotoxicity against lung and pancreas cancer and normal cells where the short P-linker enhances the selectivity, but 1M1–3 do not. Intracellular visualization, apoptosis assay, and caspase activity assay clarify mitochondrial apoptosis caused by 1P1–3 . The highest cancer cell selectivity of 1P1 may be enabled by the short P-linker promoting dsb of mitochondrial DNA with H2O2 increased by mitochondrial dysfunction in cancer cells.

“…Cyclen (i.e., 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane) and its derivatives exhibit strong binding ability for various metal centres, and thus, such derivatives are extensively employed in DNA binding and cleavage processes. [83][84][85][86] Recently, Cu-dependent oxidative DNA cleavage by cyclen and its hetero-atom derivatives was studied by Kulak and co-workers. The order for DNA cleaving ability of the complexes was observed as oxacyclen (X = O) > sulfur analogue (X = S) > cyclen itself (X = NH).…”

Four lanthanide complexes with 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐2‐aldehyde‐2‐hydrazinopyridine (H‐L1), 8‐hydroxyquinoline‐2‐aldehyde‐2‐hydrazimidazole (H‐L2): [Sm(L1)2][Sm(L1)(NO3)3]·CHCl3·2CH3OH (1), [Gd(L1)2][Gd(L1)(NO3)3]·CHCl3·2CH3OH (2), [Sm(L2)(NO3)2]2·CH3OH (3), and [Eu(L2)(NO3)2]2·CH3OH (4) were synthesized and characterized. In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation showed that the ligands and four lanthanide complexes exhibited cytotoxicity to the five tested tumor cell lines. Among them, complex 1 showed the best antiproliferative activity against NCI‐H460 tumor cells. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that complex 1 arrested the cell cycle of NCI‐H460 cells in G1 phase and induced mitochondria‐mediated apoptosis, which resulted in the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, enhanced intracellular Ca2+ levels and reactive oxygen species generation. In addition, complex 1 affected the expression levels of intracellular apoptosis‐related proteins and activated the caspase‐3/9 in NCI‐H460 cells. Therefore, complex 1 is a potential anticancer agent.
