Silver and its complexes have long been used as antimicrobial agents in medicine because of their lack of resistance to silver, their low potency at low concentrations, and their low toxicity compared to most commonly used antibiotics. N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are widely used for coordination of transition metals, mainly in catalytic chemistry. In this study, several N-alkylated benzimidazolium salts <b>2a</b>-<b>j</b> were synthesized. Then, the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor was treated with Ag<sub>2</sub>O to give silver (I) NHC complexes (3a-j) at room temperature in dichloromethane for 48 h. Ten new silver-NHC complexes were fully characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis, and LC-MSMS (for complexes) techniques. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of salt <b>2</b> and its silver complex 3 were evaluated. All of these complexes were more effective against bacterial strains than comparable ligands.

These unique factors, which offer favourable microenvironments and nourishment for tumor development and spread, also serve as a gateway for specific and successful cancer therapies. A good example is metal peroxide structures which have been synthesized and utilized to enhance oxygen supply and they have shown great promise in the alleviation of hypoxia. In a hypoxic environment, certain oxygen-dependent treatments such as photodynamic therapy and radiotherapy fail to respond and therefore modulating the hypoxic tumor microenvironment has been found to enhance the antitumor impact of certain drugs. Under acidic environments, the hydrogen peroxide produced by the reaction of metal peroxides with water not only induces oxidative stress but also produces additional oxygen. This is achieved since hydrogen peroxide acts as a reactive substrate for molecules such as catalyse enzymes, alleviating tumor hypoxia observed in the tumor microenvironment. Metal ions released in the process can also offer distinct bioactivity in their own right. Metal peroxides used in anticancer therapy are a rapidly evolving field, and there is good evidence that they are a good option for regulating the tumor microenvironment in cancer therapy. In this regard, the synthesis and mechanisms behind the successful application of metal peroxides to specifically target the tumor microenvironment are highlighted in this review. Various characteristics of TME such as angiogenesis, inflammation, hypoxia, acidity levels, and metal ion homeostasis are addressed in this regard, together with certain forms of synergistic combination treatments.</p>","PeriodicalId":8914,"journal":{"name":"Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications","volume":"2022 ","pages":"5041399"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9788889/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10438084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indigenous weed (Setaria pumila), energy plant (Pennisetum sp.), cadmium (Cd)-hyperaccumulator (Sedum plumbizincicola), and copper (Cu)-tolerant plant (Elsholtzia splendens) were used as the phytoremediation plants aided by micron hydroxyapatite (1% wt). The bioavailability of Cu and Cd in soil was evaluated during the three years. The results showed that the four plants combined with micron hydroxyapatite significantly increased soil pH and soil organic carbon (SOC), and decreased Cu and Cd fractions extracted by CaCl2 and diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) than the untreated soils, respectively. Because of the large biomass, the accumulation of Cu and Cd is the largest in Pennisetum sp. followed by Elsholtzia splendens, Sedum plumbizincicola, and Setaria pumila. The bioavailability of Cu and Cd is significantly negatively correlated with pH, soil organic carbon, available phosphorus, and available potassium. Moreover, the correlation is mainly related to the addition of micron hydroxyapatite. The accumulation of Cu and Cd is the combined action of the soil bioavailability of Cu, Cd, and biomass.
