Abstract: | The X-ray structure of the Cu(I-hip)(phen)2](+).(I-hip-).(H2O)7 complex (1) (where I-hipH is referred to o-iodohippuric acid and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline) and its binary synthetic intermediate Cu(I-hip)2(H2O)3].(H2O)2 (2) have been solved and characterized by different techniques. This ternary Cu(I-hip)(phen)2]+.(I-hip-).7H2O complex generates the copper(I) complex Cu(phen)2]+ in aqueous solution without the addition of any external reductant, possibly by an intramolecular red-ox process in the presence of oxygen; the ESI-HRMS spectra (electrospray ionization-high resolution mass spectroscopy) detect these species and 24h after the solution, Cu(phen)2]+ is the main product. The complex 1 is capable of cleaving DNA. To evaluate the biological properties, we carried out: cell culture, cell proliferation assays, cell cycle analysis, and electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting. Complex 1 induced apoptosis of A549 cells at low nanomolar and induced marked decreases of cancer cells at concentrations that did not change adipocyte survival. These data indicate that the parent complex is a potential anticancer drug. |
