The novel metal(II)-based complexes HA-Cu, HA-Co, and HA-Ni with phenanthroline, sulfamethazine, and aromatic-aromatic coupled disulfamethazines as ligands were synthesized and characterized. HA-Cu, HA-Co, and HA-Ni all showed a broad spectrum of cytotoxicity and antiangiogenesis. HA-Cu was superior to HA-Co and HA-Ni, and even superior to DDP, showing significant inhibitory effect on the growth and development of tripe-negative breast cancer in vivo and in vitro. HA-Cu exhibited observable synergistic effects of antiproliferation, antiangiogenesis, anti-inflammatory, pro-apoptosis, and cuproptosis to effectively inhibited tumor survival and development. The molecular mechanism was confirmed that HA-Cu could downregulate the expression of key proteins in the VEGF/VEGFR2 signaling pathway and the expression of inflammatory cytokines, enhance the advantage of pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and enforce cuproptosis by weakening the expression of FDX1 and enhancing the expression of HSP70. Our research will provide a theoretical and practical reference for the development of metal-sulfamethazine and its derivatives as chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment.
新型金属(II)配合物 HA-Cu、HA-Co 和 HA-Ni 以邻菲啰啉、磺胺甲噁唑和芳族-芳族偶联的磺胺甲噁唑二硫醚为配体合成并进行了表征。HA-Cu、HA-Co 和 HA-Ni 均表现出广谱的细胞毒性和抗血管生成作用。HA-Cu 优于 HA-Co 和 HA-Ni,甚至优于 DDP,对三阴性乳腺癌的体内和体外生长发育表现出显著的抑制作用。HA-Cu 表现出明显的增殖抑制、抗血管生成、抗炎、促凋亡和铜死亡协同作用,有效抑制肿瘤的生存和发展。分子机制证实,HA-Cu 可以下调 VEGF/VEGFR2 信号通路中的关键蛋白表达和炎症细胞因子的表达,增强促凋亡蛋白 Bax 的优势,并通过削弱 FDX1 的表达和增强 HSP70 的表达来加强铜死亡。我们的研究将为金属-磺胺甲噁唑及其衍生物作为癌症治疗的化疗药物的开发提供理论和实践参考。
