Facing Diseases Caused by Trypanosomatid Parasites: Rational Design of Pd and Pt Complexes With Bioactive Ligands

Dinorah Gambino et al.

Summary: Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), Chagas disease or American Trypanosomiasis (CD), and leishmaniases are protozoan infections produced by trypanosomatid parasites. Palladium(II) and platinum(II) compounds with bioactive ligands have been designed as potential drugs against these parasites in the last 20 years.

Application of microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometry in bioanalytical chemistry of bioactive rhenium compounds

Mariano Soba et al.

Summary: Five newly synthetized fac-Re(I) tricarbonyl compounds showed activity against Trypanosoma cruzi and the most active compound was selected for further metallomic studies using a newly developed and validated method based on microwave plasma atomic emission spectrometry (MP-AES). The method proved to be an economical and green alternative for studying the uptake of rhenium by parasites and the association of compounds with parasite biomacromolecules. The results showed low total rhenium percentage uptake by parasites and preferential accumulation in the soluble proteins fraction.

One- and Two-Photon Phototherapeutic Effects of RuII Polypyridine Complexes in the Hypoxic Centre of Large Multicellular Tumor Spheroids and Tumor-Bearing Mice**

Johannes Karges et al.

Summary: In recent years, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained attention as a treatment for certain types of cancer. This study tested a series of new Ru-II polypyridine complexes as photosensitizers on large 3D multicellular tumor spheroids (MCTSs) to mimic conditions found in clinical tumors. The lead compound showed impressive phototoxicity in eradicating the hypoxic center of the tumors, demonstrating efficacy not only in vitro but also in mice models with adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial tumors.

Assessment of Lipophilicity Descriptors of Selected NSAIDs Obtained at Different TLC Stationary Phases

Malgorzata Starek et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the lipophilicity of selected NSAIDs using experimental and calculation methods, proposing LogP values as descriptors. Data were obtained using thin-layer chromatography under various conditions and analyzed using chemometric approaches. The established models may have the potential to predict the biological activity of certain drugs, thus aiding in drug discovery processes.

Gonzalo Scalese et al.

Summary: Five heteroleptic compounds were synthesized and evaluated for their activity against Trypanosoma cruzi parasites. One compound showed good selectivity and was chosen for further studies. Stability studies indicated partial decomposition in solution. The compounds have potential as anti-T. cruzi agents due to their activity and selectivity in experiments.
