ABSTRACT
The luminescent chalcone gold(I) conjugates [Au(PPh3)(AN3E)]PF6(1) and [Au(SIMes)(AN3E)]PF6 (2) (AN3E = (E)-3-(9-anthracenyl)-1-(4-pyridyl)propenone; SIMes = N,N'-dimesitylimidazolidin-2-ylidene; Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)) were prepared and characterized; complex 1 was also characterized by X-ray crystallography. In MTT assays against a panel of three human colon, a melanoma and a breast cancer cell lines both complexes were antiproliferative with low micromolar IC50 values. It is noteworthy that HCT116p53-/- colon carcinoma cells lacking functional p53 (a vital tumor suppressor) were more susceptible to them than the wildtype parent cell line. In flow cytometry analyses, the gold conjugates induced a significant arrest in G2/M phase primarily. Complexes 1 and 2 quickly increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induced mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization, higher ROS values being obtained after coadministration with enzymatic inhibitors. The free chalcone AN3E and its gold(I) complex conjugates located in the cell mitochondria according to confocal microscopy. In addition, complexes 1 and 2 showed in vivo antivascular effects on the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of fertilized specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken eggs.
