RESUMO

A diverse set of neutral half-sandwich iminoamido iridium and ruthenium organometallic complexes is synthesized through the utilization of Schiff base pro-ligands with N˄N donors. Notably, these metal complexes with varying leaving groups (Cl- or OAc-) are formed by employing different quantities of the deprotonating agent NaOAc, and exhibit promising cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines such as A549 and cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP lung cancer cells, as well as HeLa cells, with IC50 values spanning from 9.26 to 15.98 µM. Cytotoxicity and anticancer selectivity (SI: 1.9-2.4) of these metal complexes remain unaffected by variations in the metal center, leaving group, and ligand substitution. Further investigations reveal that these metal complexes specifically target mitochondria, leading to the depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane and instigating the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, the metal complexes are found to induce late apoptosis and disrupt the cell cycle, leading to G2/M cell cycle arrest specifically in A549 cancer cells. In light of these findings, it is evident that the primary mechanism contributing to the anticancer effectiveness of these metal complexes is the redox pathway.

RESUMO

Most platinum group-based cyclometalated neutral and cationic anticancer complexes with the general formula [(C^N)2Ir(XY)]0/+ (neutral complex: XY = bidentate anionic ligand; cationic complex: XY = bidentate neutral ligand) are notable owing to their intrinsic luminescence properties, good cell permeability, interaction with some biomolecular targets and unique mechanisms of action (MoAs). We herein synthesized a series of neutral and cationic amine-imine cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes using Schiff base ligands with sp2-N/sp3-N N^NH2 chelating donors. The cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes were identified by various techniques. They were stable in aqueous media, displayed moderate fluorescence and exhibited affinity toward bovine serum albumin (BSA). The complexes demonstrated promising cytotoxicity against lung cancer A549 cells, cisplatin-resistant lung cancer A549/DDP cells, cervical carcinoma HeLa cells and human liver carcinoma HepG2 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 9.98 to 19.63 µM. Unfortunately, these complexes had a low selectivity (selectivity index: 1.62-1.98) towards A549 cells and BEAS-2B normal cells. The charge pattern of the metal center (neutral or cationic) and ligand substituents showed little influence on the cytotoxicity and selectivity of these complexes. The study revealed that these complexes could target mitochondria, cause depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane, and trigger the production of intracellular ROS. Additionally, the complexes were observed to induce late apoptosis and perturb the cell cycle in the G2/M or S phase in A549 cells. Based on these results, it appears that the anticancer efficacy of these complexes was predominantly attributed to the redox mechanism.
