摘要

Non-platinum (non-Pt) coordination compounds display great potential as antineoplastic drugs. Herein, two new 8-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (H-8QOL) non-Pt coordination compounds, [CoII(8QOL)2(biq)] (Yulin Normal University-2a, YNU-2a) and [CoIII(8QOL)2(phe)]NO3·CH3OH (YNU-2b), bearing 2,2′-biquinoline (biq) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phe) as auxiliary ligands, respectively, were synthesized and evaluated for their potential anticancer efficacy. A third compound, [Co2(biq)2(NO3)2(OCH3)2] (YNU-2c), was used as the control. YNU-2a demonstrated superior antineoplastic activity compared to cisplatin (CCDP), YNU-2b, and YNU-2c against human cisplatin-resistant lung adenocarcinoma A549/DDP (A549C) cells. And YNU-2aYNU-2c exhibited lower cytotoxicity towards normal embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells than that of CCDP. The different cytotoxicities of YNU-2aYNU-2c against the A549C cells depended on auxiliary ligands, following the order phe < biq. Further analyses revealed that YNU-2a more obviously suppressed A549C cancer cell proliferation via triggering mitophagy, inhibiting the production of ATP and mitochondrial respiration complexes I (MR1) and IV (MR4), and inducing mitochondrial dysfunction compared with YNU-2c. This study demonstrates that YNU-2a facilitates targeted mitophagy, highlighting its potential as an anticancer drug.
