Nuclear receptor REV-ERBβ is an overexpressed oncoprotein that has been used as a target for cancer treatment. The metal-complex nature of its ligand, iron protoporphyrin IX (Heme), enables the REV-ERBβ to be used for multiple therapeutic modalities as a photonuclease, a photosensitizer, or a fluorescence imaging agent. The replacement of iron with cobalt as the metal center of protoporphyrin IX changes the ligand from an agonist to an antagonist of REV-ERBβ. The mechanism behind that phenomenon is still unclear, despite the availability of crystal structures of REV-ERBβ in complex with Heme and cobalt protoporphyrin IX (CoPP). This study used molecular dynamic simulations to compare the effects of REV-ERBβ binding to Heme and CoPP, respectively. The initial poses of Heme and CoPP in complex with agonist and antagonist forms of REV-ERBβ were predicted using molecular docking. The binding energies of each ligand were calculated using the MM/PBSA method. The computed binding affinity of Heme to REV-ERBβ was stronger than that of CoPP, in agreement with experimental results. CoPP altered the conformation of the ligand-binding site of REV-ERBβ, disrupting the binding site for nuclear receptor corepressor, which is required for REV-ERBβ to regulate the transcription of downstream target genes. Those results suggest that a subtle change in the metal center of porphyrin can change the behavior of porphyrin in cancer cell signaling. Therefore, modification of porphyrin-based agents for cancer therapy should be conducted carefully to avoid triggering unfavorable effects.

Reactions of the labile complex (Me3tach)M(CO)3 (Me3tach = 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane; M = W, Mo) with bis(phenylthio)alkanes ( = PhS(CH2)nSPh), (2:3 molar ratio) in CH2Cl2 as solvent (at 35 oC M = W, 0 oC M = Mo) afforded in good yields bimetallic tricarbonyl complexes triply- bridged by bis(phenylthio)alkanes of the type [M(CO)3]2(μ-PhS-(CH2)n-SPh)3 [n = 3 (a), 4 (b), 5 (c), 6 (d); M = W (1), Mo (2)]. These new triply-bridged complexes were characterized by 1H NMR, FT-IR and elemental analysis. Additionally, it has been observed that the thermodynamic stability of some of these new complexes in chlorinated hydrocarbons depends mainly on the nature of the metal center and varies in the order W >> Mo.
