Drug delivery by water-soluble organometallic cages.
Until recently, organometallic derivatives were generally viewed as moisture- and air-sensitive compounds, and consequently very challenging to synthesise and very demanding in terms of laboratory requirements (Schlenk techniques, dried solvent, glove box). However, an increasing number of stable, water-soluble organometallic compounds are now available, and organometallic chemistry in aqueous ...
متن کاملUnderestimated potential of organometallic rhenium complexes as anticancer agents.
In the recent years, organometallic compounds have become recognized as promising anti-cancer drug candidates. While radioactive (186/188)Re compounds are already used in clinics for cancer treatment, cold Re organometallic compounds have mostly been explored as luminescent probes for cell imaging and photosensitizers in photocatalysis. However, a growing number of studies have recently reveale...
متن کاملOrganometallic anticancer complexes of lapachol: metal centre-dependent formation of reactive oxygen species and correlation with cytotoxicity.
Organometallic Ru(II), Os(II) and Rh(III) complexes of lapachol induce apoptosis in human tumour cell lines in the low μM range by a mode of action involving oxidative stress, especially in the case of the ruthenium compound.
متن کاملOrganoruthenium Anticancer Agents: Scope and Reactivity
Organometallic compounds have emerged as attractive scaffolds for drug development due to the reactivity that is intrinsic to metal centers and ligand variability leads to several geometries. 2 Cisplatin, PtCl2(NH3)2, and related platinum based drugs have been extensively used as anti-cancer treatments and are highly effective, but suffer from several problems: some cancer lines are resistant t...
متن کاملOrganometallic nucleoside analogues with ferrocenyl linker groups: synthesis and cancer cell line studies.
Examples of organometallic compounds as nucleoside analogues are rare within the field of medicinal bioorganometallic chemistry. We report on the synthesis and properties of two chiral ferrocene derivatives containing a nucleobase and a hydroxyalkyl group. These so-called ferronucleosides show promising anticancer activity, with cytostatic studies on five different cancer cell lines indicating ...
متن کاملAntitu'mor properties of cisplatin and titanium(IV) complexes
Biomedical inorganic chemistry is a relative new research field and investigates possible applications of metal containing agents which display biological activities!,2. An important part of these studies deals with compounds that display antitumor properties. The most successful anticancer drug to date containing a transition metal is cisplatin, [Pt(NH3)2Ch]3. The bioactivity of organometallic...
