Effects of the tetravanadate [$ V_{4} $$ O_{12} $]4− anion on the structural, magnetic, and biological properties of copper/phenanthroline complexes

The aim to access linked tetravanadate [$ V_{4} $$ O_{12} $]4− anion with mixed copper(II) complexes, using α-amino acids and phenanthroline-derived ligands, resulted in the formation of four copper(II) complexes [Cu(dmb)(Gly)($ OH_{2} $)]2[Cu(dmb)(Gly)]2[$ V_{4} $$ O_{12} $]·$ 9H_{2} $O (1) [Cu(dmb)(Lys)]2[$ V_{4} $$ O_{12} $]·$ 8H_{2} $O (2), [Cu(dmp)2][$ V_{4} $$ O_{12} $]·$ C_{2} $$ H_{5} $OH·$ 11H_{2} $O (3), and [Cu(dmp)(Gly)Cl]·$ 2H_{2} $O (4), where dmb = 4,4′-dimethioxy-2,2′-bipyridine; Gly = glycine; Lys = lysine; and dmp = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline. The [$ V_{4} $$ O_{12} $]4− anion is functionalized with mixed copper(II) units in 1 and 2; while in 3, it acts as a counterion of two [Cu(dmp)]2+ units. Compound 4 crystallized as a unit that did not incorporate the vanadium cluster. All compounds present magnetic couplings arising from Cu⋯O/Cu⋯Cu bridges. Stability studies of water-soluble 3 and 4 by UV–Vis spectroscopy in cell culture medium confirmed the robustness of 3, while 4 appears to undergo ligand scrambling over time, resulting partially in the stable species [Cu(dmp)2]+ that was also identified by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry at m/z = 479. The in vitro cytotoxicity activity of 3 and 4 was determined in six cancer cell lines; the healthy cell line COS-7 was also included for comparative purposes. MCF-7 cells were more sensitive to compound 3 with an $ IC_{50} $ value of 12 ± 1.2 nmol. The tested compounds did not show lipid peroxidation in the TBARS assay, ruling out a mechanism of action via reactive oxygen species formation. Both compounds inhibited cell migration at 5 µM in wound-healing assays using MCF-7, PC-3, and SKLU-1 cell lines, opening a new window to study the anti-metastatic effect of mixed vanadium–copper(II) systems.
