Transition metal complexes attract continuous research interest as potential antitumor agents. The most popular compounds are ruthenium, gold, titanium, osmium, iridium, zinc, and palladium complexes, which have already displayed cytotoxic features that are not typical for classical platinum-containing chemotherapeutic agents. Substantially lower attention is drawn to organometallic compounds of rhenium. However, the known examples of cytotoxic organometallic rhenium derivatives with bidentate heterocyclic, organophosphorus, labile alkoxide, and hydroxide ligands render further studies in this field very promising. As for their analogs with multidentate ligands, a literature survey has revealed only a few examples of cytotoxic rhenium complexes, whereas the antitumor activity of cyclometallated derivatives has not been studied at all. At the same time, it is known that the use of pincer-type ligands having specific tridentate monoanionic frameworks, which offer multiple options for directed structural modifications, allows one to finely tune the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the resulting metal complexes. Therefore, we synthesized and studied the cytotoxic properties of a series of rhenium(I) complexes with tridentate pincer-type ligands based on functionalized carboxamides bearing ancillary donor groups both in the acid and amine components. It was shown that the target complexes can be obtained not only by the conventional solution-based method, but also under solvent-free conditions according to the solid-phase methodology recently developed in our group. The results obtained were used to define the main structure–activity relationships for a principally new class of potential antitumor agents and to choose the most promising compounds for further studies in order to create new pharmaceuticals.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae continue to threaten human health worldwide with few effective treatment options. New Delhi metallo--lactamase (NDM) enzymes are a contributing element that drive resistance to many -lactam- and carbapenem-based antimicrobials. Many NDM inhibitors are known, yet none are clinically viable. In this study, we present and characterize a new class of NDM-1 inhibitors based on a pyridine-2,6-dithiocarboxylic acid metal complex scaffold. These complexes display varied and unique activity profiles against NDM-1 in kinetic assays and serve to increase the effectiveness of meropenem, an established antibacterial, in assays using clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates.
