“…Please note that, depending on the substituents R, R′, and R′′, several isomers (tautomers) are conceivable. Mono‐ (R=R′=R′′=H) and persubstituted (R or R′ or R′′≠H) bis(guanidine)s are beyond the scope of this review, but have been discussed elsewhere, wherefore compounds with one to three hydrogen atoms per guanidine unit are discussed in the following.…”

Polytopic ligands have become ubiquitous in coordination chemistry because they grant access to a variety of mono‐ and polynuclear complexes of transition metals as well as rare‐earth and main‐group elements. Nitrogen‐based ditopic ligands, in which two monoanionic N,N‐binding sites are framed within one molecule, are of particular importance and are therefore the primary focus of this review. In detail, bis(amidine)s, bis(guanidine)s, bis(β‐diimine)s, bis(aminotroponimine)s, bis(pyrrolimine)s, and miscellaneous bis(N,N‐chelating) ligands are reviewed. In addition to the general synthetic protocols, the application of these ligands is discussed along with their coordination chemistry, the multifarious binding modes, and the ability of these ligands to bridge two (or more) metal(loids).

“…[9][10] We recently discovered both macrocyclic and linear amidinurea derivatives endowed with antifungal 11 and antiviral activity. 12 Some amidinurea derivatives also showed anti-proliferative properties 13 probably due to their ability to mimicking the natural nucleobases and thus to interact with DNA.…”

“…The guanidine group is a common key unit in various natural and synthetic compounds demonstrating antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor activities [11]. Furthermore, because of high basicity (pKa 13.5), the guanidinium group is important for selective delivery of cytotoxic molecules to tumor cells [12].…”

Widespread secondary plant metabolites (betulinic, ursolic, and oleanolic acids) are promising scaffolds for the discovery of new drugs. Among the many semi-synthetic derivatives of lupane triterpenoids known today, the anticancer agent C-28 ester of betulinic acid with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (NVX-207) has been actively studied. This betulinic acid derivative, which has shown significant antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo against various malignant tumors, is a candidate drug. It is known that modification of the structure of the triterpenoid skeleton can lead to significant changes in biological properties. In this regard, we have synthesized C-28 esters of ursolic and oleanolic acids and C20-29 hydrogenated betulinic acid bearing tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS), and transformed them into guanidinium salts by guanylation of the primary amino group in a branched ester fragment under the action of 1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine hydrochloride. The obtained compounds were tested in in vitro experiments on three human cancer cell lines. The presence of the TRIS-fragment in the triterpenoid conjugates markedly enhanced the cytotoxic action as compared to the parent compounds, dihydrobetulinic, ursolic, and oleanolic acids (IC50 values 2.8-7.6 μM for Jurkat cells and 1.1-6.8 μM for U937 cells), while the correlation between the cytotoxic activity and the chemical structure of the triterpenoid skeleton was not observed. Extended biological testing of these triterpenoids by using flow cytometry analysis showed that antitumor activity of compounds is caused by apoptotic processes and induction of cell cycle arrest in the S-phase. New triterpenoids were also tested for their antimicrobial activity against the growth of four bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). The TRIS-dihydrobetulinic acid conjugate and its guanidinium derivative did not exhibit antimicrobial properties. The corresponding ursane and oleane-skeleton pentacyclic tritrerpenoids showed good bacteriostatic activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MICs 4 and 32 μg/mL) and excellent antifungal effect against Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans (MICs 4 and 0.25 μg/mL).
