AB  - We report the synthesis, characterization, and in vivo evaluation of the anticancer activity of a series of 5- and 6-(halomethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine rhenium tricarbonyl complexes. The study was promoted in order to understand if the presence and position of a reactive halomethyl substituent on the diimine ligand system of fac-[Re(CO)3]+ species may be a key molecular feature for the design of active and non-toxic anticancer agents. Only compounds potentially able to undergo ligand-based alkylating reactions show significant antiproliferative activity against colorectal and pancreatic cell lines. Of the new species presented in this study, one compound (5-(chloromethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine derivative) shows significant inhibition of pancreatic tumour growth in vivo in zebrafish-Panc-1 xenografts. The complex is noticeably effective at 8 μM concentration, lower than its in vitro IC50 values, being also capable of inhibiting in vivo cancer cells dissemination.

AB  - The reaction of rhenium alpha-diimine (N-N) tricarbonyl complexes with nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate yields the corresponding dicarbonyl-nitrosyl [Re(CO)(2)(NO)(N-N)X](+) species (where X = halide). The complexes, accessible in a single step in good yield, are structurally nearly identical higher charge congeners of the tricarbonyl molecules. Substitution chemistry aimed at the realization of equivalent dicationic species (intended for applications as potential antimicrobial agents), revealed that the reactivity of metal ion in [Re(CO)(2)(NO)(N-N)X](+) is that of a hard Re acid, probably due to the stronger pi-acceptor properties of NO+ as compared to those of CO. The metal ion thus shows great affinity for pi-basic ligands, which are consequently difficult to replace by, e.g., sigma-donor or weak pi-acids like pyridine. Attempts of direct nitrosylation of alpha-diimine fac-[Re(CO)(3)](+) complexes bearing pi-basic OR-type ligands gave the [Re(CO)(2)(NO)(N-N)(BF4)][BF4] salt as the only product in good yield, featuring a stable Re-FBF3 bond. The solid state crystal structure of nearly all molecules presented could be elucidated. A fundamental consequence of the chemistry of [Re(CO)(2)(NO)(N-N)X](+) complexes, it that the same can be photo-activated towards CO release and represent an entirely new class of photoCORMs.

AB  - Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major emerging threat to public health, causing serious issues in the successful prevention and treatment of persistent diseases. While the problem escalates, lack of financial incentive has lead major pharmaceutical companies to interrupt their antibiotic drug discovery programs. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has called for novel solutions outside the traditional development pathway, with emphasis on new classes of active compounds with non-classical mechanisms of action. Metal complexes are an untapped source of antibiotic potential owing to unique modes of action and a wider range of three-dimensional geometries as compared to purely organic compounds. In this study, we present the antimicrobial and antifungal efficacy of a family of rhenium tricarbonyl diimine complexes with varying ligands, charge and lipophilicity. Our study allowed the identification of potent and non-toxic complexes active in vivo against S. aureus infections at MIC doses as low as 300 ng/mL, as well as against C. albicans-MRSA mixed co-infection. The compounds are capable of suppressing the C. albicans morphogenetic yeast-to-hyphal transition, eradicating fungal-S. aureus co-infection, while showing no sign of cardio-, hepato-, hematotoxiciy or teratogenicity.

AB  - We have prepared a series of ten 3-arylcoumarin molecules, their respective fac-[Re(CO)(3)(bpy)L](+) and fac-[Re(CO)(3)(L(sic)L)Br] complexes and tested all compounds for their antimicrobial efficacy. Whereas the 3-arylcoumarin ligands are virtually inactive against the human-associated pathogens with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs)  gt  150 mu M, when coordinated to the fac-[Re(CO)(3)](+) core, most of the resulting complexes showed remarkable antibacterial potency. Several rhenium complexes exhibit activity in nanomolar concentrations against Gram-positive pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus strains, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus faecium. The molecules do not affect bacterial cell membrane potential, but some of the most potent complexes strongly interact with DNA, indicating it as a possible target for their mode of action. In vivo studies in the zebrafish model showed that the complexes with anti-staphylococcal/MRSA activity were non-toxic to the organism even at much higher doses of the corresponding MICs. In the zebrafish-MRSA infection model, the complexes increased the survival rate of infected fish up to 100% and markedly reduced bacterial burden. Moreover, all rescued fish developed normally following the treatments with the metallic compounds.

AB  - We have explored the possibility of using organometallic derivatives of cobalamin as a scaffold for the delivery of the same antimalarial drug to both erythro- and hepatocytes. This hybrid molecule approach, intended as a possible tool for the development of multi-stage antimalarial agents, pivots on the preparation of azide-functionalized drugs which, after coupling to the vitamin, are released with a 4-(4-ethynylphenyl)-triazole functionality. Three chloroquine and one imidazolopiperazine derivative (based on the KAF156 structure) were selected as model drugs. One hybrid chloroquine conjugate was extensively studied via fluorescent labelling for in vitro and in vivo bio-distribution studies and gave proof-of-concept for the design. It showed no toxicity in vivo (zebrafish model) as well as no hepatotoxicity, no cardiotoxicity or developmental toxicity of the embryos. All 4-(4-ethynylphenyl)-triazole derivatives of chloroquine were equally active against chloroquine-resistant (CQR) and chloroquine-sensitive (CQS) Plasmodium falciparum strains.
