Three gold(I) complexes of alkynyl chromones were synthesized and characterized. The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of a dinuclear compound and of a flavone derivative exhibit a typical d10 gold(I)-alkynyl linear arrangement. All complexes were evaluated as anticancer and antibacterial agents against four human cancer cell lines and four pathogenic bacterial strains. All compounds show antiproliferative activity at lower micromolar range concentrations. Complex 4 showed a broad activity profile, being more active than the reference drug auranofin against HepG2, MCF-7 and CCRF-CEM cancer cells. The cellular uptake into MCF-7 cells of the investigated complexes was measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). These measurements showed a positive correlation between an increased cellular gold content and the incubation time of the complexes. Unexpectedly an opposite effect was observed for the most active compound. Biological assays revealed various molecular mechanisms for these compounds, comprising: (i) thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibition, (ii) caspases-9 and -3 activation; (iii) DNA damaging activity and (iv) cell cycle disturbance. The gold(I) complexes were also bactericidal against Gram-positive methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) bacterial strains, while showing no activity against the Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacterial strain.
The straightforward syntheses of four new ferrocenyl and dicobalt hexacarbonyl chromones are presented. The redox behavior of the novel metallo-chromones has been examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV), revealing a reversible behavior of the ferrocenyl groups, while the dicobalt hexacarbonyl derivatives show irreversible oxidation. The anticancer activity of the products has been evaluated against hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2), ER+ (MCF-7) and ER- (MDA-MB-231) breast adenocarcinoma, and leukemic (CCRF-CEM) human cancer cell lines. The mechanism of action for the most active complexes has been investigated and it seems to involve oxidative stress and apoptosis induction. Moreover, the results show that the investigated metallo-chromones generate damage to DNA and arrest the cell cycle in G2/M phase.
