    Solution chemical properties and anticancer potential of 8-hydroxyquino-line hydrazones and their oxidovanadium(IV) complexes
    (Elsevier, 2022) Ribeiro, Nadia; Posa, Vivien; Sciortino, Giuseppe; Pessoa, Joao Costa; Maia, Luisa B.; Ugone, Valeria; Garribba, Eugenio; Enyedy, Eva A.; Correia, Isabel; Bulut, İpek; Sergi, Barış; Ayhan, Ceyda Açılan; Master Student; PhD Student; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Koç University Research Center for Translational Medicine (KUTTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Translasyonel Tıp Araştırma Merkezi (KUTTAM); Graduate School of Health Sciences; School of Medicine; N/A; N/A; 219658
    We report the synthesis and characterization of a family of benzohydrazones (L-n, n = 1-6) derived from 2-car-baldehyde-8-hydroxyquinoline and benzylhydrazides containing different substituents in the para position. Their oxidovanadium(IV) complexes were prepared and compounds with 1:1 and 1:2 metal-to-ligand stoichiometry were obtained. All compounds were characterized by elemental analyses and mass spectrometry as well as FTIR, UV-visible absorption, NMR (ligand precursors) and EPR (complexes) spectroscopies, and by DFT computational methods. Proton dissociation constants, lipophilicity and solubility in aqueous media were determined for all ligand precursors. Complex formation with V(IV)O was evaluated by spectrophotometry for L-4 (Me-substituted) and L-6 (OH-substituted) and formation constants for mono [VO(HL)](+), [VO(L)] and bis [VO(HL)(2)], [VO(HL) (L)], [VO(L)(2)](2- )complexes were determined. EPR spectroscopy indicates the formation of [VO(HL)](+) and [VO (HL)(2)], with this latter being the major species at the physiological pH. Noteworthy, the EPR data suggest a different behaviour for L-4 and L-6, which confirm the results obtained in the solid state. The antiproliferative activity of all compounds was evaluated in malignant melanoma (A-375) and lung (A-549) cancer cells. All complexes show much higher activity on A-375 (IC50 < 6.3 mu M) than in A-549 cells (IC50 > 20 mu M). Complex 3 (F-substituted) shows the lowest IC50 on both cell lines and lower than cisplatin (in A-375). Studies identified this compound as the one showing the highest increase in Annexin-V staining, caspase activity and induction of double stranded breaks, corroborating the cytotoxicity results. The mechanism of action of the complexes involves reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced DNA damage, and cell death by apoptosis.

    Understanding the potential in vitro modes of action of bis(beta-diketonato) oxovanadium(IV) complexes
    (Wiley, 2021) Xia, Ying; Waller, Zoe A. E.; Yıldızhan Yasemin; Lord, Rianne M.; Sergi, Barış; Bulut, İpek; Ayhan, Ceyda Açılan; PhD Student; Master Student; Faculty Member; Koç University Research Center for Translational Medicine (KUTTAM) / Koç Üniversitesi Translasyonel Tıp Araştırma Merkezi (KUTTAM); Graduate School of Health Sciences; School of Medicine; N/A; N/A; 219658
    To understand the potential in vitro modes of action of bis(beta-diketonato) oxovanadium(IV) complexes, nine compounds of varying functionality have been screened using a range of biological techniques. The antiproliferative activity against a range of cancerous and normal cell lines has been determined, and show these complexes are particularly sensitive against the lung carcinoma cell line, A549. Annexin V (apoptosis) and Caspase-3/7 assays were studied to confirm these complexes induce programmed cell death. While gel electrophoresis was used to determine DNA cleavage activity and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the Comet assay was used to determine induced genomic DNA damage. Additionally, Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based DNA melting and fluorescent intercalation displacement assays have been used to determine the interaction of the complexes with double strand (DS) DNA and to establish preferential DNA base-pair binding (AT versus GC).
