Mono- and binuclear complexes of copper(II) with dimethylaminomethyl derivatives of 2-naphthol and 6-quinolinol: synthesis and in vitro study of antitumor properties

Vnira R. Akhmetova et al.

Summary: In this study, the 1-(dimethylamino)methyl-6-quinolinol scaffold of topotecan, an anticancer drug, was modified to form copper-containing compounds for investigation of their cytotoxic properties. Mononuclear and binuclear Cu(II) complexes with 1-(N,N-dimethylamino)methyl-6-quinolinol and Cu(II) complexes with 1-(dimethylamino)methyl-2-naphtol ligand were synthesized and their structures confirmed. The compounds were tested for in vitro cytotoxic activity against various cancer cells, and the induction of apoptosis and effect on cell cycle were investigated. Mononuclear Cu(II) complex with 1-(N,N-dimethylamino)methyl-6-quinolinol ligand showed higher sensitivity, and all synthesized Cu(II) complexes exhibited higher antitumor activity compared to topotecan, camptothecin, and cisplatin.

Metallodrugs: an approach against invasion and metastasis in cancer treatment

Mauricio M. Gonzalez-Ballesteros et al.

Summary: Cancer is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease with high mortality rates worldwide. Medicinal Inorganic Chemistry is a young field that focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, preclinical evaluation, and mechanism of action of new inorganic compounds known as metallodrugs. Metallodrugs have the advantage of adjusting their physicochemical and stereochemical properties to bind with a wide range of targets, thus preventing the invasion and metastasis of cancer. Several metal compounds show potential in inhibiting signaling pathways associated with cancer progression.

Regulation and Function of Matrix Metalloproteinase-13 in Cancer Progression and Metastasis

Shun Li et al.

Summary: MMP-13 is an enzyme that plays multiple roles in tumor progression and metastasis by digesting and disrupting tissue structures. It is tightly regulated in normal conditions but increased in various cancers. MMP-13 can cleave collagens and extracellular matrix proteins, leading to ECM remodeling and the release of factors that promote tumor growth, invasion, and angiogenesis. This review summarizes the regulation of MMP-13 expression and secretion and discusses its actions in cancer progression and metastasis.

Recent Advances in Copper-Based Organic Complexes and Nanoparticles for Tumor Theranostics

Sergey Tsymbal et al.

Summary: The treatment of drug-resistant cancer forms requires consideration of their unique characteristics such as abnormal cell death mechanisms or mutations in drug-responding molecular pathways. Copper metabolism is particularly important in cancer cells due to its role in maintaining cellular oxidation levels, regulating protein activity, and involvement in inflammation. Preclinical studies have shown that copper-based compounds exhibit specific activity against cancer cells and have the potential for the development of novel cancer therapeutics.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.
