Abstract
Two photosensitive tricarbonyl manganese(I) complexes [MnX(bpy)(CO)3]0/+ (X = Br (1) and 6-mercaptopurine (2); bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) were tested for their antiproliferative effects against six normal and malignant cell lines of various origins under dark and 468 nm light exposure. 6-Mercaptopurine is a widely recognised therapeutic drug used to treat human leukaemia. Compound 1 was highly toxic to the THP-1 cell line, with an IC50 value of 13.6 ± 1.2 μM in light and 3.0 ± 0.1 μM in dark, while 2 had no effect on it. On the other hand, 2 demonstrated slighlty toxicity towards HepG2 cells, with IC50 values of about 100 μM under dark and light conditions. The illumination at 468 nm increased the formation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) of both 1 and 2 in comparison to the dark ones. Complex 1 had the greater capacity for apoptosis, which was the predominant mode of cell death. The Comet assay confirmed the genotoxicity of both complexes and the light conditions caused significant genotoxic damage compared to the dark conditions.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
