Cytotoxicity and DNA interactions of some platinum(II) complexes with substituted benzimidazole ligands

In the present study, four Pt(II) complexes with 2-ethyl (1)/or benzyl (2)/or p-chlorobenzyl (3)/or 2-phenoxymethyl (4) benzimidazole carrier ligands were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activities against the human HeLa cervix, oestrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 breast, and oestrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cell lines. The plasmid DNA interactions and inhibition of the BamHI restriction enzyme activities of the complexes were also studied. Complex 3 was found to be more active than carboplatin for all examined cell lines and comparable with cisplatin, except for the HeLa cell line.     

Synthesis,characterization, cytotoxicity,and DNA binding of some new platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes with benzimidazole ligands

In this study, two Pt(II) and three Pt(IV) complexes with the structures of [PtL₂Cl₂] (1), [PtL₂I₂] (2), [PtL₂Cl₂(OH)₂] (3), [PtL₂Cl₂(OCOCH₃)₂] (4), and [PtL₂Cl₄] (5) (L = benzimidazole as carrier ligand) were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activities against the human MCF-7, HeLa, and HEp-2 cancer cell lines. The influence of compounds 1–5 on the tertiary structure of DNA was determined by their ability to modify the electrophoretic mobility of the form I and II bands of pBR322 plasmid DNA. The inhibition of BamH1 restriction enzyme activity of compounds 1–5 was also determined. In general, it was found that compounds 1–5 were less active than cisplatin and carboplatin against MCF-7 and HeLa cell lines (except for 1, which was found to be more active than carboplatin against the MCF-7 cell line). Compounds 1 and 3 were found to be significantly more active than cisplatin and carboplatin against the HEp-2 cell line.     

Synthesis, characterization, DFT studies and DNA binding of mixed platinum (II) complexes containing quinoxaline and 1,2-dithiolate ligands

The complexes Pt(pq)Cl2(1) and Pt(pq)(bdt) (2) (where pq = 2-(2'pyridyl)quinoxaline and bdt=benzene-1,2-dithiolate) have been synthesized and fully characterized by UV-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier Transformer Infrared Spectra (FTIR), 1 and 2D NMR and cyclic voltammetry (CV). Interactions of the tested systems (the aforementioned complexes 1 and 2) and the free ligands pq and bdt with double stranded calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were studied by UV-spectrophotometric (melting curves) and circular dichroism (CD) measurements. The results suggest that both complexes 1 and 2, are able to form adducts with DNA and to distort the double helix by changing the base stacking. Complex 2 forms stronger adducts to CT-DNA than complex 1 and this is probably due to the substitution of the chlorine atoms of 1 by the 1,2-dithiolate ligand (bdt) in 2. The latter induces an extensive distortion in the planarity of 2 as density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal. Besides, the light absorbing complex 2 possess intense mixed metal ligand to ligand charge transfer (MM'LLCT) transition in the visible region of the spectrum and could act as photoluminescent metal-based probe for the study of DNA binding. Thus, the photocleavage of DNA by 2 has been studied by UV-Vis and CD spectra and monitored by agarose gel electrophoresis. Under our experimental conditions, it is unclear that complex 2 can photocleave DNA. Furthermore, the ability of 2 to inhibit proliferation of human tumor cell lines was tested and the results indicate some cytoxytic effect on the SF-286 cells.     

Structure and characterization of platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes with protonated nucleobase ligands

The reaction of H₂[PtCl₆] · 6H₂O and (H₃O)[PtCl₅(H₂O)] · 2(18C6) · 6H₂O (18C6 = 18-crown-6) with 9-methylguanine (MeGua) proceeded with the protonation of MeGua forming 9-methylguaninium hexachloroplatinate(IV) dihydrate (MeGuaH)₂[PtCl₆] · 2H₂O (1).The same compound was obtained from the reaction of Na₂[PtCl₆] with (MeGuaH)Cl.On the other hand, the reaction of guanosine (Guo) with (H₃O)[PtCl₅(H₂O)] · 2(18C6) · 6H₂O in methanol at 60 °C proceeded with the cleavage of the glycosidic linkage and with ligand substitution to give a guaninium complex of platinum(IV), [PtCl₅(GuaH)] · 1.5(18C6) · H₂O (2).Within several weeks in aqueous solution a slow reduction took place yielding the analogous guaninium platinum(II) complex, [PtCl₃(GuaH)] · (18C6) · 2Me₂CO (3).H₂[PtCl₆] · 6H₂O and guanosine was found to react in water, yielding (GuoH)₂[PtCl₆] (4) and in ethanol at 50 °C, yielding [PtCl₅(GuoH)] · 3H₂O (5).Dissolution of complexes 2 and 5 in DMSO resulted in the substitution of the guaninium and guanosinium ligands, respectively, by DMSO forming [PtCl₅(DMSO)]⁻.Reactions of 1-methylcytosine (MeCyt) and cytidine (Cyd) with H₂[PtCl₆] · 6H₂O and(H₃O)[PtCl₅(H₂O)] · 2(18C6) · 6H₂O resulted in the formation of hexachloroplatinates with N3 protonated pyrimidine bases as cation (MeCytH)₂[PtCl₆] · 2H₂O (6) and (CydH)₂[PtCl₆] (7), respectively. Identities of all complexes were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectroscopic investigations, revealing coordination of GuoH⁺ in complex 5 through N7 whereas GuaH⁺ in complex 3 may be coordinated through N7 or through N9. Solid state structure of hexachloroplatinate 1 exhibited base pairing of the cations yielding (MeGuaH⁺)₂, whereas in complex 6 non-base-paired MeCytH⁺ cations were found. In both complexes, a network of hydrogen bonds including the water molecules was found. X-ray diffraction analysis of complex 3 exhibited a guaninium ligand that is coordinated through N9 to platinum and protonated at N1, N3 and N7. In the crystal, these NH groups form hydrogen bonds N–HO to oxygen atoms of crown ether molecules.     

Cytotoxicity and DNA damage induced by a new platinum(II) complex with pyridine and dithiocarbamate

A new platinum(II) complex containing a pyridine nucleus and a dithiocarbamate moiety as ligands ([Pt(ESDT)(Py)Cl]) was evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity in the cisplatin-sensitive human ovarian 2008 and in the isogenic-resistant C13* cell lines. In both cell types, a tumor cell growth inhibition greater than cisplatin and a complete lack of cross-resistance in C13* cells were found. Despite its molecular size, [Pt(ESDT)(Py)Cl] accumulation was much higher than cisplatin both in parent and resistant cells. Studying the mechanism of action in cell-free media, we established that [Pt(ESDT)(Py)Cl] more efficiently interacts with DNA in vitro compared to cisplatin maintaining a binding preference for GG rich sequences of DNA. On the contrary, DNA platination in vivo by [Pt(ESDT)(Py)Cl] was found lower than cisplatin. An analysis of the type of DNA lesions induced by [Pt(ESDT)(Py)Cl] suggests that the cytotoxic efficacy and the ability to overcome cisplatin resistance seem to be related to a different mechanism of interaction with DNA and/or with other key cellular components.     

Synthesis, structures and properties of dinuclear cadmium(II) complexes based on polybenzimidazole binucleating ligands

Three novel cadmium(II) complexes [Cd₂(tbpo)(O₂CC₆H₄-p-NO₂)₂]ClO₄·3CH₃OH (1) [Cd₂(bbap)(O₂CC₆H₄-p-NO₂)₂]ClO₄·4.5CH₃OH·0.75H₂O (2) and [Cd(ntb)(O₂CC₆H₄-p-NO₂)]ClO₄·4CH₃OH (3) have been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and X-ray crystallography, where tbpo⁻ and bbap⁻ are anions of N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)-2-hydroxo-1,3-diaminopropane and 2,6-bis[bis(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol, respectively; ntb is tris(2-benzimidazolymethyl)amine. Complexes 1 and 2 contain μ-phenolate-bridged and μ-alkoxo-bridged dicadmium(II) cores with the Cd1?Cd2 separation of 3.671 Å for complex 1 and 3.718 Å for 2. One of the 4-nitrobenzoate anions bridged the two cadmium(II) ions in syn-anti mode through its carboxylate group, the other 4-nitrobenzoate is only coordinated with Cd2 in bidentate chelating mode. The two central cadmium(II) atoms are in trigonal bipyramidal and pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. In complex 3, the cadmium(II) atom is coordinated with four nitrogen atoms of ntb and one carboxylate oxygen atom of 4-nitrobenzoate in distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Experiment shows that there is a higher affinity of 4-nitrobenzoate anion as coligand with the dinuclear [Cd₂(tbpo)]³⁺ and [Cd₂(bbap)]³⁺ cores than that with the mononuclear [Cd(ntb)]²⁺ core.     

Liquid crystalline microphases of DNA molecules complexed with compounds of platinum(II)

The formation of liquid crystalline microphases (0.3 M NaClO₄, and 120 and 170 mg PEG/ml) from low-M_r DNA (salmon sperm) complexed with cis and trans dichlorodiamine-platinum(II) was investigated. It was shown that the amplitude of the negative band in the CD spectrum, characteristic of a liquid crystalline microphase of DNA, decreased upon complexing with platinum compounds. It was estimated that the influence of cis Pt(II) on the optical properties of liquid crystalline microphase of DNA molecules strongly differed from the effect of trans Pt(II); the phenomenon did not depend on [PEG]. The reasons of the decrease of the negative band in the CD spectra of the DNA liquid crystalline microphases are discussed.     

Synthesis,characterization, redox behavior,DNA and protein binding and antibacterial activity studies of ruthenium(II) complexes of bidentate schiff bases

Two new ruthenium(II) complexes of Schiff base ligands (L) derived from cinnamaldehyde and ethylenediamine formulated as [Ru(L)(bpy)₂](ClO₄)₂, where L¹ = N,N’-bis(4-nitrocinnamald-ehyde)ethylenediamine and L² = N,N’-bis(2-nitrocinnamaldehyde)-ethylenediamine for complex 1 and 2, respectively, were isolated in pure form. The complexes were characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. The electrochemical behavior of the complexes showed the Ru(III)/Ru(II) couple at different potentials with quasi-reversible voltammograms. The interaction of the complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) using absorption, emission spectral studies and electrochemical techniques have been used to determine the binding constant, K_b and the linear Stern–Volmer quenching constant, K_SV. The results indicate that the ruthenium(II) complexes interact with CT-DNA strongly in a groove binding mode. The interactions of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with the complexes were also investigated with the help of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy tools. Absorption spectroscopy proved the formation of a ground state BSA-[Ru(L)(bpy)₂](ClO₄)₂ complex. The antibacterial study showed that the Ru(II) complexes (1 and 2) have better activity than the standard antibiotics but weak activity than the ligands.     

Binuclear monofunctional platinum(II) complexes formed by hexaazamacrocyclic bisdien ligands: Crystal structure, DNA binding and cytotoxicity studies

Two binuclear 3N-chelated monofunctional Pt^II complexes, [Pt₂L1Cl₂]Cl₂ (complex III) and [Pt₂L2Cl₂]Cl₂ (complex IV) [L1 = 3,6,9,16,19,22-hexaazatricyclo[22.2.2.2^11,14]-triaconta-11,13,24,26(1),27,29-hexaene, L2 = 3,6,9,17,20,23-hexaazatricyclo[23.3.1.1^11,15]-triaconta-1(29),11(30),12,14,25,27-hexaene] have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Structural determination revealed that each Pt^II center was coordinated by one chloride anion and three N atoms from each diethylenediamine motif. The Pt-Cl bonds in complex III are shorter than those found in complex IV. The rigid para- and meta-xylylene groups make the two complexes adopt a rigid boat-like conformation and a flexible twisted chair-like conformation, respectively. Moreover, complex III has higher tendency to bind with each other than complex IV. DNA binding studies demonstrated that complex IV could bind effectively with calf thymus DNA, possibly via platination of N7 of guanine residue, while no obvious DNA binding was observed for complex III. However, complex III displays a comparable cytotoxicity to cisplatin against HeLa cell line, while compound IV does not show any effective cell inhibition at low concentration. Therefore, the rigid spacers in complexes III and IV play a determining role in their anti-cancer activity and DNA binding ability.     

DNA interaction of new copper(II) complexes with sulfonamides as ligands

New copper(II) complexes with sulfonamide ligands have been prepared and characterized. Sulfonamide ligands were prepared through a reaction between 8-aminoquinoline and either 2-mesitylene (Hqmesa), 4-tert-butylbenzene (Hqtbsa), or alpha-toluene (Halphaqtsa) sulfonyl chlorides. The structural analysis carried out for complex [Cu(alphaqtsa)(2)] indicated that the local environment of the Cu(II) cation is between a square planar and a tetrahedral geometry, with stacking of the benzene rings of the sulfonyl ligands between neighbor molecules. Powder EPR spectra at room temperature gave rhombic spectra for the [Cu(alphaqtsa)(2)] and [Cu(qmesa)(2)] complexes and an axial spectrum for the [Cu(qtbsa)(2)] complex, probably due to the steric hindrance of the methyl groups. Complexes [Cu(alphaqtsa)(2)] and [Cu(qmesa)(2)] are artificial chemical nucleases that degrade DNA in the presence of sodium ascorbate. A study of the radical scavengers revealed that the ROS (reactive oxygen species) involved in the DNA damage were hydroxyl, singlet oxygen-like species, and superoxide anion.     

Synthesis characterization and cytotoxicity studies of platinum(II) complexes with reduced amino pyridine schiff base and its derivatives as ligands

A series of reduced amino pyridine Schiff base platinum(II) complexes were prepared as potential anticancer drugs, and characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and molar conductivity. UV and CD results showed the binding mode between these compounds and salmon sperm DNA may be intercalation. The cytotoxicity of these complexes was validated against A549, Hela, and MCF-7 cell lines by MTT assay. Some complexes exhibited better cytotoxic activity than cisplatin against Hela and MCF-7 cell lines.     

Platinum(II) complexes with l-methionylglycine and l-methionyl-l-leucine ligands: synthesis, characterization and in vitro antitumoral activity

Four dipeptide complexes of the type [PtX(2)(dipeptide)] x H(2)O (X=Cl, I, dipeptide=l-methionylglycine, l-methionyl-l-leucine) were prepared. The complexes were characterized by (1)H, (13)C, (195)Pt NMR and infrared spectroscopy, DTG and elemental analysis. From the infrared, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy it was concluded that dipeptides coordinate bidentately via sulfur and amine nitrogen donor atoms. Confirmed with (13)C and (195)Pt NMR spectroscopy, each of the complexes exists in two diastereoisomeric forms, which are related by inversion of configuration at the sulfur atom. The (1)H NMR spectrum for the platinum(II) complex with l-methionylglycine and chloro ligands exhibited reversible, intramolecular inversion of configuration at the S atom; DeltaG( not equal)=72 kJ mol(-1) at coalescence temperature 349 K was calculated. In vitro cytotoxicity studies using the human tumor cell lines liposarcoma, lung carcinoma A549 and melanoma 518A2 revealed considerable activity of the platinum(II) complex with l-methionylglycine and chloro ligands. Further in vitro cytotoxic evaluation using human testicular germ cell tumor cell lines 1411HP and H12.1 and colon carcinoma cell line DLD-1 showed moderate cytotoxic activity for all platinum(II) complexes only in the cisplatin-sensitive cell line H12.1. Platinum uptake studies using atomic absorption spectroscopy indicated no relationship between uptake and activity. Potential antitumoral activity of this class of platinum(II) complexes is dependent on the kind of ligands as well as on tumor cell type.     

Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic studies of terephthalato- and fumarato-bridged dinickel(II) complexes with tripodal poly-benzimidazole ligand

Two novel dinuclear nickel(II) complexes [Ni₂(ntb)₂(μ-tp)(H₂O)_1.61(CH₃OH)_0.39](NO₃)₂·5.13CH₃OH·2.25H₂O (1) and [Ni₂(ntb)₂(μ-fum)(H₂O)(CH₃OH)](NO₃)₂·6CH₃OH·H₂O (2) (tp = terephthalate dianion, fum = fumarate dianion, ntb = tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine) containing tetradentate poly-benzimidazole ligand were synthesized and structurally characterized by IR spectra, UV-Vis, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. The Ni(II) ions in 1 and 2 have distorted octahedral geometry with four nitrogen atoms of ntb, one oxygen atom of water and one oxygen atom supplied by the carboxylate group of the bridged dicarboxylato ligand. Complexes 1 and 2 consist of terephthalato- and fumarato-bridged dinickel(II) centers in bis(monodentate) bonding fashion. The Ni?Ni distances are 11.333 Å for 1 and 8.966 Å for 2. The magnetic susceptibility measurements at variable temperature show that two complexes exhibit weak antiferromagnetic interactions between nickel(II) ions with J values of −0.25 cm⁻¹ and −0.36 cm⁻¹, respectively.     

Synthesis and in vitro antitumoral activity of novel O,O'-di-2-alkyl-(S,S)-ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-2-propanoate ligands and corresponding platinum(II/IV) complexes

Syntheses of two novel ligand precursors O,O'-diisopropyl- (1a) and O,O'-diisobutyl-(S,S)-ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-2-propanoate dihydrochloride monohydrate (1b) and the corresponding dichloroplatinum(II) (2a and 2b) and tetrachloroplatinum(IV) complexes (3a and 3b) are described here. The substances were characterized by IR, (1)H and (13)C spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Crystal structures were determined for 1a and the corresponding platinum(IV) complex, 3a. In vitro antiproliferative activity was determined against tumor cell lines: human adenocarcinoma HeLa, human myelogenous leukemia K562, human malignant melanoma Fem-x, rested and stimulated normal immunocompetent cells (human peripheral blood mononuclear PBMC cells) using KBR test (Kenacid Blue Dye binding test). The IC(50)(microM) values for the most active compound 3a were: 30.48+/-2.54; 12.26+/-2.60; 13.68+/-3.22; 80.18+/-24.07 and 71.30+/-21.70, respectively.     

Studies on synthesis, characterization, and G-quadruplex binding of Ru(II) complexes containing two dppz ligands

In this work, the interaction between the guanine-rich single-strand oligomer AG₃(T₂AG₃)₃ quadruplex and two Ru(II) complexes, [Ru(L¹)(dppz)₂](PF₆)₄ (1) and [Ru(L²)(dppz)₂](PF₆)₄ (2) (L¹ = 5,5′-di(1-(trimethylammonio)methyl)-2,2′-dipyridyl cation, L² = 5,5′-di(1-(triethylammonio)methyl)-2,2′-dipyridyl cation, dppz = dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c] phenazine), has been studied by UV-Visible, fluorescence, DNA melting, and circular dichroism in K⁺ buffer. The two complexes after binding to G-quadruplex have shown different DNA stability and fluorescence enhancement. The results show that both complexes can induce the stabilization of quadruplex DNA. ΔT_m values of complexes 1 and 2 at [Ru]/[DNA] ratio of 1:1 were 9.4 and 7.0, respectively. Binding stoichiometry along with the quadruplex was investigated through a luminescence-based Job plot. The major inflection points for complexes 1 and 2 were 0.49 and 0.46, respectively. The data were consistent with the binding mode at a [quadruplex]/[complex] ratio of 1:1. In addition, the conformation of G-quadruplex was not changed by the complexes at the high ionic strength of K⁺ buffer.     

Synthesis and characterization of platinum(II) complexes of 2N1O-donor ligands with a pendent indole ring

The Pt(II) complexes of 2N1O-donor ligands containing a pendent indole, 3-[N-2-pyridylmethyl-N-2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)benzylamino]ethylindole (Htbu-iepp), and 1-methyl-3-[N-2-pyridylmethyl-N-2-hydroxy-3,5-di(tert-butyl)benzylamino]ethylindole (Htbu-miepp) (H denotes an ionizable hydrogen), were synthesized, and the structure of [Pt(tbu-iepp)Cl] (1) was determined by X-ray analysis. Complex 1 prepared in CH₃CN was revealed to have the C2 atom of the indole ring bound to Pt(II) with the Pt(II)-C2 distance of 1.981(3) Å. On the other hand, [Pt(tbu-miepp)Cl] (2) was concluded to have a phenolate coordination instead of the C2 atom of the indole ring by ¹H NMR spectra. Reaction of 1 with 1 equiv. of Ce(IV) in DMF gave the corresponding one-electron oxidized species, which exhibited an ESR signal at g = 2.004 and an absorption peak at 567 nm, indicating the formation of the Pt(II)-indole-π-cation radical species. The half-life, t_1/2, of the radical species at −60 °C was calculated to be 43 s (k_obs = 1.6 × 10⁻² s⁻¹).     

Cellular accumulation and DNA platination of two new platinum(II) anticancer compounds based on anthracene derivatives as carrier ligands

The anticancer properties of two new fluorescent platinum(II) compounds, cis-[Pt(A9opy)Cl₂] and cis-[Pt(A9pyp)(dmso)Cl₂] are described. These compounds are highly active against several human tumor cell lines, including human ovarian carcinoma sensitive and cisplatin-resistant cell lines (A2780 and A2780R). To study the cellular processing of these new compounds, a series of in vitro studies have been performed, including the investigation of intracellular platinum accumulation and DNA-platination experiments in A2780 and A2780R cells. Compared to cisplatin, both compounds are accumulated highly in both sensitive and resistant cell lines, and more platinum has been found to bind to the nuclear DNA. Interestingly, cis-[Pt(A9opy)Cl₂] shows high accumulation and DNA adduct formation in the resistant cell line A2780R, as compared to the sensitive counterpart A2780 cell line. This suggests that cis-[Pt(A9opy)Cl₂] is able to overcome some of the well-known resistance mechanisms in this cell line, such as decreased cellular uptake and increased DNA repair.     

Platinum(II) complexes with fluoroquinolones: Synthesis and characterization of unusual metal-piperazine chelates

The fluoroquinolones constitute an important class of synthetic antimicrobial agents. The interaction between these compounds and metallic cations has been investigated primarily with the goal of identifying the functional groups directly linked to the metal. Furthermore, there has been some additional work investigating the effect of metal ions upon antibacterial activity. The vast majority of the metallic complexes reported in the literature show coordination of the fluoroquinolone through the carboxylate and the carbonyl oxygen atoms. In this work, we report the synthesis and characterization of platinum(II) complexes with ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, sparfloxacin, and gatifloxacin. The resulting complexes present the fluoroquinolone coordinated through the nitrogen atoms of the piperazine ring, which is unusual. The proposed structures were supported by spectroscopic evidence (IR, NMR, and mass spectra) as well as by theoretical studies.     

Synthesis, DNA interaction and cytotoxicity studies of cis-{[1, 2-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane]dihalo}platinum(II) complexes

A series of platinum compounds with an analogue structure to cisplatin have been synthesized and their biological activity against HL-60 cancer cell line has been studied. The interaction with DNA was evaluated by circular dichroism (CD), electrophoresis and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques showing slight but significant structure-dependent differences among the evaluated complexes. The cytotoxicity assays afforded interesting relationships between the structure and the biological activity, thus, a better antiproliferative activity was observed for the complexes with higher hydrophobicity: the methoxylated complexes showed better activity than the hydroxylated ones (17versus20 and 19versus21). Especially compound 22 having a fatty acid subunit presented a promising cytotoxic activity. On the other hand, dichloro complexes 12 and 13 had better activities than the diiodo complexes, probably due to their better metabolic stability. Between both dichloro complexes the aromatic one showed much higher activity, which could be rationalized on the basis of the intercalating ability of the benzene ring. The flow cytometry assays indicated that most of the complexes induced the cell death by apoptosis except for aromatic compound 12 and the lipophilic compound 22 that induced preferably a mechanism of necrosis.
