RESUMO
In order to make novel breakthroughs in molecular salt studies of BCS class-IV antifungal medication bifonazole (BIF), a salification-driven strategy towards ameliorating attributes and aiding augment efficiency is raised. This strategy fully harnesses structural characters together attributes and benefits of caffeic acid (CAF) to concurrently enhance dissolvability and permeability of BIF by introducing the two ingredients into the identical molecular salt lattice through the salification reaction, which, coupled with the aroused potential activity of CAF significantly amplifies the antifungal efficacy of BIF. Guided by this route, the first BIF-organic molecular salt, BIF-CAF, is directionally designed and synthesized with satisfactorily structural characterizations and integrated theoretical and experimental explorations on the pharmaceutical properties. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction resolving confirms that there is a lipid-water amphiphilic sandwich structure constructed by robust charge-assistant hydrogen bonds in the salt crystal, endowing the molecular salt with the potential to enhance both dissolvability and permeability relative to the parent drug, which is validated by experimental evaluations. Remarkably, the comprehensive DFT-based theoretical investigations covering frontier molecular orbital, molecular electrostatic potential, Hirshfeld surface analysis, reduced density gradient, topology, sphericity and planarity analysis strongly support these observations, thereby allowing some positive relationships between macroscopic properties and microstructures of the molecular salt can be made. Intriguingly, the optimal properties, together with the stimulated activity of CAF markedly augment in vitro antifungal ability of the molecular salt, with magnifying inhibition zones and reducing minimum inhibitory concentrations. These findings fill in the gaps on researches of BIF-organic molecular salt, and adequately exemplify the feasibility and validity by integrating theoretical and experimental approaches to resolve BIF's problems via the salification-driven tactic.

To emphasize the superiority of uracil (UR) in ameliorating biopharmaceutical characteristics of marine antitumor medicine cytarabine (ARA), thus gaining some innovative opinions for the exploitation of nanococrystal formulation, a cocrystal nanonization strategy is proposed by integrating cocrystallization and nanosize preparation techniques. For one thing, based on UR's unique structural features and natures together with advantages of preferential uptake by tumor cells, cocrystallizing ARA with UR is expected to improve the in vitro/vivo performances. For another, the nanonization procedure is oriented towards maintaining the long-term effective drug level. Along this route, a cocrystal of ARA with UR, viz., ARA-UR, is successfully synthesized and then transformed into nano-cocrystal. The cocrystal structure is precisely confirmed by various methods, demonstrating that a 1:1 ARA and UR in the crystal forms cytosine-UR hydrogen-bonding interactions, thus constructing supramolecular frameworks by strong π-π stacking interplays; while the nano-cocrystal is block-shaped particles of 562.70 nm with zeta potential -33.40 mV. The properties of cocrystal ARA-UR and its nano-cocrystal in vitro/vivo are comparatively explored by theoretical calculations and experimental analyses, revealing that permeability of both is significantly increased than ARA per se. Notably, the meliorative natures of both the cocrystal and nano-cocrystal in vitro bring excellent antitumor activity, but the latter has greater strengths over the former. More notably, the nano-cocrystal can sustain effective concentration for a relatively longer time, causing lengthened retention time and better absorption in vivo. The contribution offers a fire-new dosage form of ARA for long-lasting delivery, thus filling the vacancy in nanococrystal studies about marine drugs.

Correction for 'Supramolecular self-assembly of amantadine hydrochloride with ferulic acid via dual optimization strategy establishes a precedent of synergistic antiviral drug-phenolic acid nutraceutical cocrystal' by Ling-Yang Wang et al., Analyst, 2021, 146, 3988-3999, https://doi.org/10.1039/D1AN00478F.
RESUMO
The current research leverages the structural features and property superiorities along with benefits in protecting cardiovascular system of gallic acid (GLC) and gentisic acid (HGA) to optimize in vitro/vivo peculiarities of cardiotonic drug milrinone (MIL) through developing a stratagem of cocrystallization-driven double-optimized ternary salt cocrystal. This strategy assembles MIL ternary salt cocrystal by shaping a cocrystallization moiety relying on noncovalent interplays with GLC to obtain permeability advancement and molding a salt segment via the salification of proton transfer between HGA and MIL molecules to facilitate solubility enhancement. While the ameliorative in vitro properties further modulate the in vivo pharmacokinetic behaviors, thus fulfilling a dual optimization of MIL's biopharmaceutical characteristics on both in vitro and in vivo aspects. Along this line, the first MIL ternary salt cocrystal, viz., [HMIL+-GA-]-MIL-GLC-H2O (denoted as MTSC hereinafter), has been satisfactorily constructed and precisely structurally identified by diversified techniques. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment validates that a molecular salt [HMIL+-GA-] species cocrystallizes with one neutral MIL, two GLC, and five solvent water molecules, among which the organic constituents compose laminated hydrogen bond networks, and then are self-assembled by water molecules to a 3D supramolecular structure. The unique structural feature and stacking pattern of MTSC make both the permeability and solubility be respectively enhanced by 9.69 times and 5.17- to 6.03-fold compared with the parent drug per se. The experimental outcomes are powerfully supported by associated calculations based on density functional theory. Intriguingly, these optimal in vitro physicochemical natures of MTSC have been potently converted into strengths of in vivo pharmacokinetics, showcasing the elevated drug plasma concentration, elongated half-life, alongside advanced bioavailability. Consequently, this presentation not just contributes a brand-new crystalline form with utility values, but ushers in a new dimension of ternary salt cocrystals for improving in vitro/vivo limitations of poor drug bioavailability.

Esculetin (ELT) is one of the best-known and simplest coumarins with powerful natural antioxidant effects but insoluble and difficult to absorb. In order to overcome the problems, cocrystal engineering was first applied to ELT in this paper. Nicotinamide (NAM) was selected as the coformer for its excellent water solubility and potential synergistic antioxidant effect with ELT. The structure of the ELT-NAM cocrystal was successfully prepared and characterized by IR, SCXRD, PXRD, and DSC-TG. Furthermore, the in vitro/vivo properties and antioxidant effects of the cocrystal were adequately studied. The results highlight that the ELT obtained tremendous improvements in water solubility and bioavailability after cocrystal formation. Meanwhile, the synergistic enhancement of ELT with NAM in antioxidant effect was demonstrated by the DPPH assay. Ultimately, the simultaneously optimized in vitro/vivo properties and antioxidant activity of the cocrystal created an improved practical effect of hepatoprotective in rat experiments. The investigation is significant for developing coumarin drugs represented by ELT.

In order to highlight the advantages of cocrystallization technique in perfecting in vitro/vivo natures of marine drug cytarabine (ARC), and fill the gap of the research of marine pharmaceutical cocrystals with synergistic antitumor effects, the first dual-drug cocrystal simultaneously containing ARC and antitumor drug 5-fluorouracil (FU), viz. ARC-FU, is successfully designed and assembled. The accurate structure is perfectly resolved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other approaches. The analytical outcomes demonstrate that the codrug cocrystal consists of ARC and FU with a molar ratio of 1:1, in which FU molecule plays an important role by participating in the formation of both "pyrimidine-pyrimidine" and "pyrimidine-sugar" cyclic hydrogen-bonding systems with ARC molecules. In the cocrystal, there are twofold hydrogen-bonding helixes of ARC molecules and a whole three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network which also contains the aromatic stacking interaction between pyrimidine rings of both components. Such structural feature and aggregation model have crucial influences on the improvements of in vitro/vivo properties, which is methodically verified by the combination of theoretical analyses and experimental measurements. The in vitro studies exhibit the suitably reduced solubility and obviously increased permeability for the cocrystal that is in accord with the theoretical prediction. Importantly, the ameliorated in vitro peculiarities realize in vivo pharmacokinetic optimization including the extended residence time and enhanced relative bioavailability. Of greater significance, ARC exerts synergistic antitumor effects in association with FU that brings about potentiation of cell growth inhibition with lower IC50. Thus, this research not only provides a novel crystalline form for ARC with forward-looking development value, but also breaks new ground for the development of synergistic antitumor pharmaceutical cocrystals with marine characteristics.

To fully play the advantages of cocrystallization and nano-preparation techniques in regulating in vitro/vivo biopharmaceutical properties of anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (FU), and further exploit new avenues in its formulation development, a recombination strategy of cocrystallization and nano-micellar self-assembly techniques is proposed. Thereinto, the cocrystallization technique is aiming at augmenting antitumor ability by ameliorating physicochemical performances of FU, while the nano-micellar self-assembly technique is mainly employed to achieve slowed release and long-term efficacy. Guided by this strategy, a new zwitterionic cocrystal of FU with L-proline (PL), FU-PL, is successfully synthesized, and then incorporated into carriers PEG-PCL to gain cocrystal micelles. The structure of FU-PL cocrystal and morphology of the cocrystal micelles are respectively characterized via various analytical means. The comparative studies of in vivo/vitro properties are systematacially conducted by theoretical and experimental methods. The results showcase that the cocrystal's solubility and permeability are 4.60 and 3.89 folds higher than those of pristine drug FU at pH 6.8, separately; and the drug loading and entrapment efficiency of the obtained cocrystal micelles with spherical particles of 146 nm are 2.39 and 1.74 times than those of FU micelles itself, respectively. Particularly, both the cocrystal and its micelles eventually bring about the excellent antitumor activity, but the cocrystal micelles improve even more significantly in comparison with the cocrystal. These in vitro advantages have promoted the in vivo absorption with increased relative bioavailability (FREL) of 2.72 relative to FU-PL cocrystal. More particularly, the cocrystal micelles have preferable sustained-release action relative to FU micelles, thus more efficaciously prolonging the half-life and therapy duration. All these findings not only supply a novice slow-release dosage form for FU with greater efficiency, but also fill the blank of the micelle researches for antitumor pharmaceutical cocrystals.

Aim: To explore how to transform cocrystals of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (FL) with caffeic acid (CF; FL-CF-2H2O) into a nanoformulation, a self-assembly strategy of cocrystal-loaded micelles is proposed. Methods: Nanomicelles were assembled to deliver cocrystal FL-CF-2H2O with synergistic activity, and their in vitro/vivo properties were evaluated by combining theoretical and experimental methods. Result: More cocrystal was packed into the polymers due to the stronger interaction energy during micellar assembly, producing excellent cytotoxicity and pharmacokinetic behavior, especially synergistic abilities and long-term therapy. Conclusion: This case exemplifies the particular benefits of the self-assembly strategy of cocrystal-loaded micelles in keeping a delicate balance between long-term effects and high efficiency for FL, and offers a feasible technical scheme for cocrystal delivery agents for antitumor drugs.
To exemplify the feasibility of the cocrystal conversion of anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (FL) with phenolic acid nutrient caffeic acid (CF) into a nanomicelle formulation, and further provide new options for the development of slowed-release cocrystal formulations with long-acting and synergistic antitumor effects, in this study, a cocrystalline complex of FL and CF (cocrystal FL-CF-2H2O) was loaded into polymer PEG-PCL to successfully assemble the cocrystal nanomicelles by a self-assembly strategy. The morphology of the cocrystal nanomicelles was characterized, and in vitro/vivo properties were evaluated by combining theoretical with experimental methods. The results showed that the cocrystal nanomicelles with regular sphericity and homogeneous particle size had greater drug loading and entrapment efficiency than FL nanomicelles, which is also supported by theoretical predictions of the interaction energy between the cocrystal FL-CF-2H2O and polymer PEG-PCL. The excellent encapsulation effects give rise to more potent cytotoxicity, better absorption and prolonged retention time in vivo. Relative to FL nanomicelles, the present cocrystal nanomicelles with synergistic antitumor abilities exhibited prominent slowed-release behavior that was more conducive to the long-term maintenance of therapeutic concentrations in vivo. The present case offers a feasible technical scheme for successful nanoformulation research on synergistic antitumor pharmaceutical cocrystals.

In order to exploit the advantages to the full of multidrug salification strategy in amending the pharmaceutical properties of drugs both in vitro and in vivo, and further to open up a new way for its applications in bacteria-virus mixed cross-infection drugs, a novel dual-drug crystalline molecular salt hybridizing antibacterial drug sulfamethoxazole (SFM) with antiviral ingredient amantadine (ATE), namely SFM-ATE, is successfully designed and synthesized via multidrug salification strategy oriented by proton exchange reaction. The crystal structure of the firstly obtained molecular salt is precisely identified by employing single-crystal X-ray diffraction and multiple other techniques. The results show that, in the crystal lattice of molecular salt SFM-ATE, the classical hydrogen bonds together with charge-assisted hydrogen bonds contribute to two- dimensional networks, between which the hydrophobic interaction plays an important role. The relevant in vitro/vivo pharmaceutical properties of the dual-drug molecular salt are carried out through a comparative investigation of theoretical and experimental methods. It has been found that SFM displays concurrent improvements over the bulk drug in its permeability and dissolution after forming the molecular salt, which is supported by the molecular electrostatic potential calculation and Hirshfeld surface analysis. Encouragingly, the perfected in vitro biopharmaceutical properties can effectually turn into the in vivo pharmacokinetic preponderances with the expedited peak plasma concentration, lengthened half-life and enhanced bioavailability. Better yet, the antibacterial activities of SFM from the molecular salt get stronger with enlargement in inhibition areas and reduction in values of minimum inhibitory concentrations against the tested bacterial strains. Consequently, the present contribution not only supplies an opportunity for widening applications for classical sulfa drugs via dual-drug salification strategy, but also offers an alternative approach in dealing with viral-bacterial coinfection even other complex diseases by drugs' hybridization at the molecular level.

To display the capability of the phenolic acid nutraceutical ferulic acid (FLA) in optimizing the in vitro/in vivo properties of the antiviral drug amantadine hydrochloride (AMH) and achieve synergistically enhanced antiviral effects, thereby gaining some new insights into pharmaceutical cocrystals of antiviral drugs with phenolic acid nutraceuticals, a cocrystallization strategy of dual optimization was created. Based on this strategy, the first drug-phenolic acid nutraceutical cocrystal of AMH with FLA, namely AMH-FLA-H2O, was successfully assembled and completely characterized by employing single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other analytical techniques. The cocrystal was revealed to be composed of AMH, FLA, and water molecules in the ratio of 3 : 1 : 1.5, and charge-assisted hydrogen bonds containing chloride ions crucially maintained the crystal lattice together with water molecules. The in vitro/in vivo properties of the cocrystal were systematically evaluated via both theoretical and experimental methods, and the results indicate that the dissolubility of AMH is down-regulated by two-thirds in the cocrystal, resulting in its potential for sustained pharmacokinetic release and the elimination of the adverse effects of AMH. More importantly, the enhanced antiviral effects of the current cocrystal were proven against four viral strains, and the pharmaceutical synergy between AMH and FLA was realized with a combination index (CI) of less than 1. Thus, the present work provides a novel crystalline product with bright commercial prospect for the classical antiviral drug AMH and also establishes an avenue for the synergetic antiviral application of nutraceutical phenolic acids via the cocrystallization strategy of dual optimization.

For highlighting the predominance of phenolic acid nutraceutical ferulic acid (FR) in regulating the in vivo/vitro performances of anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil (Flu) and strengthening their cooperativity in antitumor effect, thus achieving a major breakthrough in the development of drug-nutraceutical cocrystal with synergistic antitumor action, a cocrystallization strategy of dual optimization is created, in which both the in vivo and vitro natures of Flu are improved by exploiting the FR's excellent physicochemical property. Moreover, Flu's anticancer effects were promoted by exerting the assistant antitumor peculiarity of FR. Such dual optimization of FR for Flu in physicochemical properties and anticancer activities is beneficial for realizing synergistic augmentation effect by taking the benefit of the cooperativeness of Flu and FR in the anticancer ability. Based on this idea, a novel cocrystal of Flu and FR, namely, Flu-FR-H2O, is successfully assembled as the first 5-fluorouracil-nutraceutical cocrystal with synergistic antitumor effect and its explicit structure is resolved. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction demonstrates that Flu and FR have a ratio of 1 : 1 with one equivalent of solvent water in the cocrystal, where one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding helices and FR-Flu hydrogen-bonding pairs, together construct a three-dimensional supramolecular network. By combining experimental evaluation with theoretical analysis, in vitro/vivo pharmaceutical properties are scientifically investigated. Results show that the permeability and aqueous solubility of Flu are respectively elevated by 5.08 and 1.64 folds, which has brought about ameliorated pharmacokinetics, thus providing prolonged retention time and increased oral bioavailability. More interestingly, the cocrystal shows synergistic inhibition ability of Flu and FR against tested tumor cell strains, hence laying the groundwork for reducing the dosage and even the toxic side effects of Flu. As a result of this, the present research not only provides a new strategy for Flu to optimize its physicochemical properties and antitumor activities simultaneously but also offers some opinions for the development of synergistic antitumor pharmaceutical cocrystals.

With the purpose of overcoming the serious hepatotoxicity of antituberculosis drug isoniazid (INH), a cocrystallization strategy based on complementary advantages was implemented by choosing the hepatoprotective nutraceutical quercetin (QCT) as the cocrystal former. The strategy plays the solubility advantage of INH to improve the bioavailability of the insoluble QCT, thereby significantly enhancing the QCT's hepatoprotective effects. The optimized protective effects of QCT, in turn, feed back to INH to reduce its hepatotoxicity. Along this line, a novel INH-QCT cocrystal was successfully prepared and structurally characterized. The systematic evaluation results of the in vitro/in vivo revealed that, due to the advantage of INH's solubility, the dissolution efficiency of QCT from the cocrystal was increased 51.67-fold compared with that of coarse quercetin, and the oral bioavailability of the cocrystal in rats was enhanced by 28.91 times. As a result, the INH-QCT cocrystal almost removed INH induced serious hepatotoxicity, which has been demonstrated by the hepatotoxicity studies in rats. These findings present new opportunities for the advantageous solid forms of low-toxic antituberculosis drugs, and open new avenues against toxic side effects of drugs through the cocrystallization mean.

A new tetracopper(II) complex bridged both by oxamido and carboxylato groups, namely [Cu4 (dmaepox)2 (bpy)2 ](NO3 )2 ·2H2 O, where H3 dmaepox and bpy represent N-benzoato-N'- (3-methylaminopropyl)oxamide and 2,2'-bipyridine, was synthesized, and its structure reveals the presence of a centrosymmetric cyclic tetracopper(II) cation assembled by a pair of cis-dmaepox3- - bridged dicopper(II) units through the carboxylato groups, in which the endo- and exo-copper(II) ions bridged by the oxamido group have a square-planar and a square-pyramidal coordination geometries, respectively. The aromatic packing interactions assemble the complex molecules to a two-dimensional supramolecular structure. The reactivity toward DNA and protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) indicates that the complex can interact with herring sperm DNA through the intercalation mode and the binding affinity is dominated by the hydrophobicity and chelate ring arrangement around copper(II) ions and quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via a static process. The cytotoxicity of the complex shows selective cancer cell antiproliferative activity.

A new trinickel(II) complex bridged by N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]- N'-(2-hydroxylphenyl)oxamido (H3 pdmapo), namely [Ni3 (pdmapo)2 (H2 O)2 ]â 4CH3 OH, was synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and other methods. In the molecule, two symmetric cis-pdmapo3- mononickel(II) complexes as a "complex ligand" using the carbonyl oxygen atoms coordinate to the center nickel(II) ion situated on an inversion point. The Ni···Ni distance through the oxamido bridge is 5.2624(4) Å. The center nickel(II) ion and the lateral ones have octahedral and square-planar coordination geometries, respectively. In the crystal, a three-dimensional supramolecular network dominated by hydrogen bonds is observed. The reactivity toward DNA/protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) revealed that the complex could interact with herring sperm DNA (HS-DNA) through the intercalation mode and quench the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via a static mechanism. The in vitro anticancer activities suggested that the complex is active against the selected tumor cell lines.

Two new tetracopper(II) complexes bridged by N-benzoate-N'-[3-(diethylamino)propyl]oxamide (H3bdpox), and ended with 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bpy) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), namely [Cu4(bdpox)2(Me2bpy)2](pic)2 (1) and [Cu4(bdpox)2(bpy)2](pic)2·2H2O (2) (where pic denotes the picrate anion) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and other methods. In both complexes, four copper(II) ions are bridged alternately by the cis-oxamido and the carboxylato groups of two bdpox(3-) ligands to form a centrosymmetric cyclic tetranuclear cation, in which, the copper(II) ions at the endo- and exo-sites of cis-bdpox(3-) ligand have square-planar and square-pyramidal coordination geometries, respectively. The reactivity towards DNA/BSA suggests that these complexes can interact with HS-DNA through the intercalation mode and the binding affinity varies as 1>2 depending on the hydrophobicity, and effectively quench the fluorescence of protein BSA via a static mechanism. In vitro anticancer activities showed that the two complexes are active against the selected tumor cell lines, and the anticancer activities are consistent with their DNA-binding affinity.

Two new dicopper(II) complexes bridged by N-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-N'-[3-(dimethyl-amino)propyl]oxamide (H3hmpoxd), and end-capped with 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (Me2bpy) and 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), were synthesized and structurally characterized, namely [Cu2(hmpoxd)(CH3OH)(Me2bpy)](ClO4) (1) and [Cu2(hmpoxd)(bpy)](ClO4)âCH3OH (2). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the endo- and exo-copper (II) ions bridged by the cis-hmpoxd(3-) ligand are located in square-planar and square-pyramidal geometries, respectively, for 1, and square-planar environments in 2. The DNA/protein-binding natures are studied theoretically and experimentally, indicating that both the two complexes can interact with the DNA in the mode of intercalation, and effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of protein BSA via the favored binding sites Trp213 for 1 and Trp134 for 2. In vitro anticancer activities showed that the two complexes are active against the selected tumor cell lines, and the anticancer activities are consistent with their DNA/BSA-binding affinities following the order of 1 > 2. The synergistic hydrophobicity of the bridging and terminal ligands in these complexes on DNA/BSA-binding events and in vitro anticancer activities is preliminarily discussed.

Two new µ-oxamido-bridged dicopper(II) complexes formulated as [Cu2(hmdoxd)(H2O)(Me2bpy)]-(ClO4)·DMF (1) and [Cu2(hmdoxd)(bpy)](ClO4)·CH3OH (2), where H3hmdoxd is N-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-N'-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]oxamide; Me2bpy and bpy stand for 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and 2,2'-bipyridine, respectively, were synthesized and structurally characterized. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the copper(II) ions in complexes 1 and 2 are bridged by the cis-hmdoxd(3-) with corresponding Cuâ¯Cu separations of 5.1596(6) and 5.1562(6) Å, respectively, in which the endo- and exo-copper(II) ions are located in square-planar and square-pyramidal geometries, respectively, for 1, and square-planar environments for 2. In the crystals of the two complexes, there are abundant hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions contributing to the supramolecular structure. The DNA/protein-binding property of the two complexes are studied both theoretically and experimentally, indicating that complexes 1 and 2 can interact with DNA in the mode of intercalation and partial intercalation, respectively, and effectively bind to protein BSA via the favored binding sites Trp213 for 1 and Trp134 for 2. In vitro anticancer activities showed that the two complexes are active against the selected tumor cell lines, and the anticancer activities are consistent with their DNA/protein-binding affinities following the order of 1>2. The effect of the hydrophobicity of both the bridging and terminal ligands in the dicopper(II) complexes on DNA/protein-binding events and in vitro anticancer activities is preliminarily discussed.

A new oxamido-bridged dicopper(II) complex with formula of [Cu2(deap)(pic)2], where H2deap and pic represent N,N'-bis[3-(diethylamino)propyl]oxamide and picrate, respectively, was synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, IR and electronic spectral study, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure analyses revealed that the two copper(II) atoms in the dicopper(II) complex are bridged by the trans-deap(2-) ligand with the distances of 5.2116(17)Å, and the coordination environment around the copper(II) atoms can be described as a square-planar geometry. Hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions link the dicopper(II) complex into a three-dimensional infinite network. The DNA/protein-binding properties of the complex are investigated by molecular docking and experimental assays. The results indicate that the dicopper(II) complex can interact with HS-DNA in the mode of intercalation and effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of protein BSA by 1:1 binding with the most possible binding site in the proximity of Trp134. The in vitro anticancer activities suggest that the complex is active against the selected tumor cell lines, and IC50 values for SMMC-7721 and HepG2 are lower than cisplatin. The effects of the electron density distribution of the terminal ligand and the chelate ring arrangement around copper(II) ions bridged by symmetric N,N'-bis(substituted)oxamides on DNA/BSA-binding ability and in vitro anticancer activity are preliminarily discussed.

Two new dicopper(II) complexes bridged by asymmetric N,N'-bis(substituted)oxamide ligands: N-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-N'-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]oxamide (H3chdoxd) and N-hydroxypropyl-N'-(2-carboxylatophenyl)oxamide (H3oxbpa), and end-capped with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy), namely [Cu2(ClO4)(chdoxd)(CH3OH)(bpy)]·H2O (1) and [Cu2(pic)(oxbpa)(CH3OH)(bpy)]·0.5CH3OH (2) (pic denotes picrate anion), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurement, IR and electronic spectral studies, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that both the copper(II) ions bridged by the cis-oxamido ligands in dicopper(II) complexes 1 and 2 are all in square-pyramidal environments with the corresponding Cuâ¯Cu separations of 5.194(3) and 5.1714(8)Å, respectively. In the crystals of the two complexes, there are abundant hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions contributing to the supramolecular structure. The reactivities toward herring sperm DNA (HS-DNA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) of the two complexes are studied both theoretically and experimentally, indicating that both the two complexes can interact with the DNA in the mode of intercalation, and effectively bind to BSA via the favored binding sites Trp134 for the complex 1 and Trp213 for the complex 2. Interestingly, the in vitro anticancer activities of the two complexes against the selected tumor cell lines are consistent with their DNA/BSA-binding affinities following the order of 1>2. The effects of coordinated counterions in the two complexes on DNA/BSA-binding ability and in vitro anticancer activity are preliminarily discussed.
