Ruthenium(II/III) coordination compounds have gained widespread attention as chemotherapy drugs, photosensitizers, and photodynamic therapy reagents. Herein, a family of 11 novel coumarin-coordinated 8-hydroxyquinoline ruthenium(II/III) compounds, i.e., [Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1a)(DMSO)] (YNU-4a = Yulin Normal University-4a), [Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1b)(DMSO)] (YNU-4b), [Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1c)(DMSO)] (YNU-4c), [Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1d)(DMSO)]⋅2CHOH (YNU-4d), [Ru(QL1e)(DMSO)] (YNU-4e), [Ru(QL1e)(QL3a)] (YNU-4f), [Ru(QL1e)(QL3b)] (YNU-4g), [Ru(QL1e)(QL3c)] (YNU-4h), [RuCl(H-QL3a)(DMSO)] (YNU-4i), [RuCl(H-QL3b)(DMSO)] (YNU-4j), and [RuCl(H-QL3c)(DMSO)] (YNU-4k), featuring the coligands 5,7-diiodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (H-QL1a), 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinol (H-QL1b), 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinolin (H-QL1c), 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (H-QL1d), and 5,7-dichloro-8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline (H-QL1e) and the main ligands 6,7-dichloro-3-pyridin-2-yl-chromen-2-one (H-QL3a), 6-bromo-3-pyridin-2-yl-chromen-2-one (H-QL3b), and 6-chloro-3-pyridin-2-yl-chromen-2-one (H-QL3c), respectively. The structure of compounds YNU-4a-YNU-4k was fully confirmed by conducting various spectroscopic analyses. The anticancer activity of YNU-4a-YNU-4k was evaluated in cisplatin-resistant A549/DDP lung cancer cells (LC549) versus normal embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. Notably, compound YNU-4f bearing QL1e and QL3a ligands showed a more pronounced antiproliferative effect against LC549 cells (IC = 1.75 ± 0.09 μM) with high intrinsic selectivity toward LC549 cancer cells than YNU-4a-YNU-4e, H-QL1a-H-QL1e, cisplatin (PDD), YNU-4g-YNU-4k, and H-QL3a-H-QL3c. Additionally, a colocalization assay analysis of YNU-4e and YNU-4f showed that these two ruthenium(II/III) compounds were subcellularly accumulated in the mitochondria and other regions of the cytoplasm, where they induce mitophagy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) reduction, mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I/IV(RC1/RC4) inhibition, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Accordingly, compounds YNU-4a-YNU-4k can be regarded as mitophagy inductors for the eradication of cisplatin-resistant LC549 cancer cells.
钌(II/III)配合物作为化疗药物、光增敏剂和光动力治疗试剂已经引起了广泛的关注。在此,我们介绍了一类 11 种新型香豆素配位的 8-羟基喹啉钌(II/III)化合物,即[Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1a)(DMSO)](YNU-4a=玉林师范学院-4a)、[Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1b)(DMSO)](YNU-4b)、[Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1c)(DMSO)](YNU-4c)、[Ru(μ-Cl)(QL1d)(DMSO)]·2CHOH(YNU-4d)、[Ru(QL1e)(DMSO)](YNU-4e)、[Ru(QL1e)(QL3a)](YNU-4f)、[Ru(QL1e)(QL3b)](YNU-4g)、[Ru(QL1e)(QL3c)](YNU-4h)、[RuCl(H-QL3a)(DMSO)](YNU-4i)、[RuCl(H-QL3b)(DMSO)](YNU-4j)和[RuCl(H-QL3c)(DMSO)](YNU-4k),这些化合物的配体为 5,7-二碘-8-羟基喹啉(H-QL1a)、5,7-二氯-8-喹啉醇(H-QL1b)、5-氯-7-碘-8-羟基喹啉(H-QL1c)、5,7-二溴-8-羟基喹啉(H-QL1d)和 5,7-二氯-8-羟基-2-甲基喹啉(H-QL1e),主配体为 6,7-二氯-3-吡啶-2-基香豆素-2-酮(H-QL3a)、6-溴-3-吡啶-2-基香豆素-2-酮(H-QL3b)和 6-氯-3-吡啶-2-基香豆素-2-酮(H-QL3c)。通过各种光谱分析,充分证实了化合物 YNU-4a-YNU-4k 的结构。在顺铂耐药 A549/DDP 肺癌细胞(LC549)与正常胚胎肾(HEK293)细胞中,评估了 YNU-4a-YNU-4k 的抗癌活性。值得注意的是,化合物 YNU-4f 具有 QL1e 和 QL3a 配体,对 LC549 细胞表现出更明显的增殖抑制作用(IC=1.75±0.09μM),与 YNU-4a-YNU-4e、H-QL1a-H-QL1e、顺铂(PDD)、YNU-4g-YNU-4k 和 H-QL3a-H-QL3c 相比,对 LC549 癌细胞具有更高的内在选择性。此外,YNU-4e 和 YNU-4f 的共定位分析表明,这两种钌(II/III)化合物在亚细胞水平上积聚在线粒体和细胞质的其他区域,在这些区域诱导自噬、三磷酸腺苷(ATP)减少、线粒体呼吸链复合物 I/IV(RC1/RC4)抑制和线粒体功能障碍。因此,化合物 YNU-4a-YNU-4k 可被视为用于根除顺铂耐药 LC549 癌细胞的自噬诱导剂。
