Transition metal-based anticancer compounds, as an alternative to platinum derivatives, are raising scientific interest as they may present distinct although poorly understood mechanisms of action. We used a structure-activity relationship-based methodology to investigate the chemical and biological features of a series of ten (C^N)-chelated half-sandwich iridiumIII complexes of the general formula [IrCp?(phox)Cl], where (phox) is a 2-phenyloxazoline ligand forming a 5-membered metallacycle. This series of compounds undergoes a fast exchange of their chlorido ligand once solubilised in DMSO. They were cytotoxic to HeLa cells with IC50 values in the micromolar range and induced a rapid activation of caspase-3, an apoptosis marker. In vitro, the oxidative power of all the complexes towards NADH was highlighted but only the complexes bearing substituents on the oxazoline ring were able to produce H2O2 at the micromolar range. However, we demonstrated using a powerful HyPer protein redox sensor-based flow cytometry assay that most complexes rapidly raised intracellular levels of H2O2. Hence, this study shows that oxidative stress can partly explain the cytotoxicity of these complexes on the HeLa cell line and gives a first entry to their mechanism of action. This journal is

Palladium–bis(oxazoline) complexes (Pd-BOX-A and Pd-BOX-B) were synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, IR and elemental analysis. The molecular structures of the complexes were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In both cases, the palladium center is coordinated by the nitrogen atoms of the two oxazoline rings and two chloride ligands in a distorted square planar geometry. Despite the fact that the bis(oxazoline) ligand is achiral, the asymmetrical substitution on the phenyl spacer and the rigid backbone of the complex Pd-BOX-A induce inherent chirality and the compound crystallizes as a racemic mixture. Both complexes were found to be highly effective catalysts for Suzuki–Miyaura, Mizoroki–Heck and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. They also show excellent catalytic activities toward carbonylative coupling reactions.
