Particularly for lung cancer, bacterial infections frequently arise thereby complicating the course of cancer treatment. In this sense, three new neutral luminescent cycloplatinated(II) photosensitizers of the type [Pt(dmba)(L)] (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylamine-κN,κC; L = 2-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)-phenolato-κN,κO 1, 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-phenolato-κN,κO 2, and 2-(1-methyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)phenolato-κN,κO 3) have been characterized and developed to potentially eliminate both resistant bacteria and lung cancer cells. The phototherapeutic effects of complex 2 have been evaluated using low doses of blue light irradiation. Complex 2 exerted promising photoactivity against pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria strains of clinical interest, displaying a phototoxic index (PI) of 15 for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, one of the major microorganisms predominating lung infections. Likewise, the anticancer activity of 2 was also increased upon light irradiation in human lung A549 cancer cells (PI = 36). Further in vitro experiments with this platinum(II) complex suggest that ROS-generating photodynamic reactions were involved upon light irradiation, thus providing a reasonable mechanism for its dual anticancer and antibacterial activities. eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Platinum(II) complexes Anticancer and antibacterial activity Photodynamic inhibition Photodynamic therapy Dual action agents A 2-(benzothiazol-2-yl)-phenolato platinum(II) complex as potential photosensitizer for combating bacterial infections in lung cancer chemotherapy† info:eu-repo/semantics/article
