Copper(II) and silver(I)-1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione complexes interact with double-stranded DNA: further evidence of their apparent multi-modal activity towards Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Anna Clara Milesi Galdino et al.

Summary: The study found that Cu-phendione has a higher DNA binding affinity, can induce DNA damage, and cause DNA fragmentation. These results suggest that complexes containing phendione may elicit toxicity toward the multidrug-resistant pathogen P. aeruginosa through a novel DNA-targeted mechanism.

Design, synthesis, stereochemical determination, molecular docking study, in silico pre-ADMET prediction and anti-proliferative activities of indole-pyrimidine derivatives as Mcl-1 inhibitors

Phoebe F. Lamie et al.

Summary: Fourteen novel indole-pyrimidine hybrids were designed and synthesized in this study. They exhibited good abilities for targeting Mcl-1 protein, with some compounds showing dual Mcl-1/Bcl-XL or Bcl-XL/Bcl-2 inhibitory activity. The most potent derivatives as Mcl-1 inhibitors showed excellent to good anti-proliferative activities against various cancer cell lines. Additionally, druglikeness properties and in silico pre-ADMET characters were predicted for all synthesized compounds.

Impact of biofilm formation and azoles? susceptibility in Scedosporium/Lomentospora species using an in vitro model that mimics the cystic fibrosis patients? airway environment

Thais P. Mello et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the antifungal susceptibility and biofilm formation ability of Scedosporium in CF patients, finding that the biofilms formed under CF conditions significantly increased resistance to azoles. These results illustrate the challenges in antifungal treatment of CF patients infected with Scedosporium/Lomentospora.

Marcela Q. Granato et al.

Summary: The study indicates that 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione and its metal-based complexes have promising therapeutic potential against fungal infections caused by Phialophora verrucosa, as they can inhibit growth, reduce biofilm formation and disarticulation, enhance killing of fungal cells by macrophages, and protect larvae from infection.
