Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on the development of gold- and non-classical platinum-based anti-cancer agents that display distinctively different anti-cancer mechanisms compared to the commonly used cisplatin. These metal complexes contain N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands which are able to form strong M-C(NHC) bonds, conferring high stability and favorable lipophilicity, reactivity and binding specificity of metal complexes on biomolecules. The author demonstrates significant advances made in anti-cancer gold(III), gold(I) and platinum(II) complexes. Detailed chemical synthesis, in vitro and/or in vivo anti-cancer activities are clearly presented including: (i) a class of Au(III) complexes containing a highly fluorescent N^N^N ligand and NHC ligand that simultaneously act as fluorescent thiol “switch-on” probes and anti-cancer agents; (ii) a dinuclear gold(I) complex with a mixed diphosphine and bis(NHC) ligand displaying favorable stability and showing significant inhibition of tumor growth in two independent mice models with no observable side effects; and (iii) a panel of stable luminescent cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes exhibiting high specificity to localize to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) domain, inducing ER stress and cell apoptosis. These works highlight the clinical potential that gold and platinum complexes offer for cancer treatment.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Anti-Cancer N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes of Gold(III), Gold(I) and Platinum(II): Thiol "Switch-on" Fluorescent Probes, Thioredoxin Reductase Inhibitors and Endoplasmic Reticulum Targeting Agents" Submitted by ZOU TAOTAO for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in Feb 2015 Despite the success of cisplatin in combating various cancers, the problems of resistance and side effects have limited its wide application in cancer treatment. Gold complexes have recently emerged as promising candidates for cancer treatment. Unlike cisplatin, gold complexes do not favor DNA binding, but instead preferentially bind SH/SeH-containing proteins/enzymes in cancer cells, giving hope that these compounds may overcome cisplatin's resistance problems. Since the side effects of cisplatin are, at least partially, caused by instability-associated, off-target binding interactions, the incorporation of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands may be a useful strategy to improve the stability of metal-based chemotherapeutics due to the strong  donating ability of NHC to form strong M-C(NHC) bonds. Meanwhile, the ease of modification and steric effects of NHC ligands provide favorable lipophilicity, reactivity and binding specificity of metal complexes. Indeed, some Pt(II)-NHC complexes have been reported to specifically target proteins/organelles rather than DNA. 3+ + The reduction of 4-coordinated Au to 2-coordinated Au by thiols has been 3+ demonstrated. Meanwhile, owing to the low energy d 2 2 orbital of Au, most gold(III) x -y complexes are non-emissive in solutions. In Chapter 3, by taking advantage of these unique properties, the synthesis of a class of non-emissive Au(III) complexes containing highly fluorescent N DEGREESN DEGREESN ligands and NHC ligands is described. In these compounds, the NHC ligand prevented further reduction of Au(III) to Au(0) and increased the III + solubility of the Au(III) complexes. The [Au (N DEGREESN DEGREESN)(NHC)] complex was readily reduced by GSH to form [Au (NHC)(GS)], accompanied by the release of the fluorescent H N DEGREESN DEGREESN ligand, therefore acting as a fluorescent "switch-on" probe for thiols. In addition, the anti-cancer activity of Au(I) is owed to its ability to inhibit thiol-enzymes; thus, the Au(III) complexes could also serve as precursors/prodrugs, activated by metal reduction, to deliver anti-cancer active Au(I) species. The major problem of most Au(I) anti-cancer agents is the lack of in vivo anti-tumor activity due to their high thiol-reactivity which leads to many off-target binding interactions with blood thiols. In Chapter 4, the synthesis of a dinuclear gold(I) complex bearing a mixed diphosphine and bis(NHC) ligand is described. This dinuclear Au(I) complex displayed a favorable stability that conveys potent thioredoxin reductase inhibition without being attacked by blood thiols. This complex significantly inhibited tumor growth in two independent mouse models with no observable side effects. The dinuclear Au(I) complex also exhibited anti-angiogenesis activity in a tumor model and inhibited sphere formation of cancer stem cells in vitro. In toxicology studies, neither systemic anaphylaxis in guinea pigs nor localized irritation in rabbits was observed

Book excerpt: Among the existing anticancer agents, cisplatin or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), represents the most known and commonly used chemotherapeutic drug worldwide highlighting the potential of metals in medicinal chemistry. However, its clinical effectiveness is also accompanied by severe side toxicities and cell-resistance mechanisms. These therapeutic limitations have encouraged the development of substitutes to cisplatin and have led to the discovery of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes of several late transition metals as new anticancer agents with similar to higher in vitro activities than cisplatin. In this context, the present project dealt with the synthesis and the study of novel cytotoxic NHC complexes of some transition metals (mainly platinum). Two simple, reproducible and modular synthetic routes were developed for the easy functionalization post-complexation of NHC derivatives using (a) ruthenium-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition and (b) ligand substitution. In order to improve the efficacy and selectivity of the NHC complexes, we have extended these strategies of functionalization to the attachment of biologically interesting moieties such as targeting agents, hydrosoluble groups and fluorescent dyes. In vitro cytotoxic activities of these newly synthesized complexes were measured against a wide variety of cancerous cells. The majority of the compounds demonstrated higher activities than the benchmark cisplatin and some were selective toward tumoral cells. These promising early-stage results offer new perspectives in cancer therapy while giving alternatives to the biomedical limitations of cisplatin.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 18, entitled Metallo-Drugs: Development and Action of Anticancer Agents of the series Metal Ions in Life Sciences centers on biological, medicinal inorganic chemistry. The serendipitous discovery of the antitumor activity of cis-diamminodichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) by Barnett Rosenberg in the 1960s is a landmark in metallodrug-based chemotherapy. The success of cisplatin in the clinic, followed by oxaliplatin and carboplatin, along with their drawbacks relating mainly to resistance development and severe toxicity, initiated research on polynuclear platinum complexes and on Pt(IV) complexes as prodrugs. Furthermore, the indicated shortcomings led to the exploration of other transition and main group metal ions, among them Ru(II/III), Au(I/III), Ti(IV), V(IV/V), and Ga(III) including also the essential metal ions Fe(II/III), Cu(I/II), and Zn(II). Ionic as well as covalent and non-covalent interactions between structurally very different complexes and biomolecules like nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates are studied and discussed with regard to their possible anticancer actions. Hence, MILS-18 summarizes the research at the forefront of medicinal inorganic chemistry, including studies on the next-generation, tailor-made anticancer drugs. All this and more is treated in an authoritative and timely manner in the 17 stimulating chapters of this book, written by 39 internationally recognized experts from 10 nations (from the US via Europe to China and Australia). The impact of this vibrant research area is manifested by more than 2700 references, nearly 150 illustrations (more than half in color) and several comprehensive tables. Metallo-Drugs: Development and Action of Anticancer Agents is an essential resource for scientists working in the wide range from enzymology, material sciences, analytical, organic, and inorganic biochemistry all the way through to medicine including the clinic ... not forgetting that it also provides excellent information for teaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomedical applications of gold complexes based on N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are beginning to unfold. Some cationic gold(I) NHCs complexes show antimitochondrial activities, a very promising action mode in the fight against cancer; due to their positive charge these complexes target preferentially tumor cells, leading to cell death. In this work of thesis, three groups of new NHC-based gold and heterobimetallic complexes involving aliphatic or aromatic amino-functionalized NHCs with interesting potential in biomedical research have been synthesized and characterized. The first group is formed by three luminescent heterobimetallic gold(I)-ruthenium(II) complexes containing heteroditopic bipyridine-NHC ligands. These compounds have been biologically investigated by in vitro tests for their antitumoral, antileishmanial and antimalarial activities. Finally, imaging studies in cancer cells have been performed exploiting the luminescent properties of the most active compound. The second group of molecules is concerned by cationic gold(I) complexes containing two 1-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl]imidazolydene ligands. First the complexes have been tested for their antiproliferative activity in prostate cancer cell line PC-3. Lipophilicity (Log P) has been determined for these complexes. The most active complex has been tested for the cytotoxic activities in five human cancer cell lines and primary endothelial cells demonstrating a potent action and selectivity for cancer cells. In addition, antileishmanial and antimalarial activities of these compounds have been investigated showing interesting results. The third group is formed by a hetero-dinuclear gold(I)-silver(I) and a trinuclear gold(I)-copper(II) complexes containing phenanthroline-NHC ligands. The compounds are formed by two different organometallic units potentially able to act as multi-targeting anticancer drug.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anticancer drug cisplatin, which has been approved to treat ovarian, testicular, head and neck, certain types of lung, and metastatic breast cancers, has been a major advancement in cancer therapy. However, severe side effects including nausea, ear damage, vomiting, sensation loss in the extremities, and liver and kidney toxicity are usually experienced leading to the discontinuation of therapy. Along with the toxic side effects, resistance to this drug has become a major disadvantage. Due to these factors various other platinum derivatives have been explored leading to the discovery of carboplatin. Though carboplatin is quite active it still carries many of the same limitations as cisplatin, leading to the conclusion that the use of non-platinum metal complexes is essential. To date complexes of silver, rhodium, ruthenium, iron, copper, rhenium, titanium, and gold have shown promising results which may lead to the divergence from platinum based drugs. This dissertation describes the synthesis, characterization, and anticancer properties of a variety of metal complexes. These include Ag(I) metal complexes along with a Cu(II) and a Rh(III) metal complex. Chapter 1 of this dissertation discusses a vast majority of the work that has been previously explored using non-platinum metal complexes as anticancer agents. Chapter 2 is devoted to the anticancer properties of three N-Heterocyclic carbene Ag(I) complexes. These complexes have shown anticancer properties in vitro against ovarian, breast, melanoma, colon carcinoma, and renal carcinoma cell lines with one of the complexes possessing preliminary in vivo anticancer properties against an ovarian cancer xenograft model. Chapter 3 is devoted to the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro anticancer properties of a Cu(II) thiaether complex and a Rh(III) thiaether complex against ovarian, breast, and lung cancer cell lines. Both complexes are active, however, the Cu(II) complex is more efficacious. Chapter 4 describes the synthesis and characterization of a variety of new imidazolium salts, which are the precursors to N-Heterocyclic carbenes, and some of their respective N-Heterocyclic carbene Ag(I) metal complexes that may have future use as anticancer agents.
