چکیده
Human colon cancer is the third most common and the fourth most frequent cause of cancer deaths worldwide [1]. The marketing chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of colon related cancer are Carboplatin, Levamisole, Miltefosine, Semustine and Floxuridine (Chart 1). The chart displays that most of the drugs are organic compounds. Among these, only Carboplatin is a metal based anticancer drug that has been recently approved to treat human colon cancer.

Enhanced cytotoxicity of silver complexes bearing bidentate N-heterocyclic carbene ligands.
A diverse library of cationic silver complexes bearing bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands have been prepared which exhibit cytotoxicity comparable to cisplatin against the adenocarcinomas MCF7 and DLD1. Bidentate ligands show enhanced cytotoxicity over monodentate and macrocyclic ligands.
متن کاملGold(I) complexes of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands containing benzimidazole: synthesis and antimicrobial activity.
Gold(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes were obtained in good yields from the corresponding silver complexes by treatment with [AuCl(PPh3)] following the commonly used silver carbene transfer route. The silver complexes were synthesized from the benzimidazolium halide salts by the in situ reactions with Ag2O in dichloromethane as a solvent at room temperature. All gold complexes have bee...
متن کاملSimple and versatile synthesis of copper and silver N-heterocyclic carbene complexes in water or organic solvents.
A novel synthetic route leading to N-heterocyclic carbene copper complexes has been developed by using air-stable and commercially available copper(I) oxide and imidazolium salts starting materials.
متن کاملAlkyne hydroarylation with Au N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts
Mono- and dinuclear gold complexes with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have been employed as catalysts in the intermolecular hydroarylation of alkynes with simple unfunctionalised arenes. Both mono- and dinuclear gold(III) complexes were able to catalyze the reaction; however, the best results were obtained with the mononuclear gold(I) complex IPrAuCl. This complex, activated with one equ...
متن کاملUnusual dimer formation of cyclometalated ruthenium NHC p-cymene complexes.
We present the synthesis and structural characterization of novel ruthenium complexes containing C^C* cyclometalated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands, η(6)-arene (p-cymene) ligands and one bridging chlorine ion. Complexes of the general formula [Ru(p-cymene)(C^C*)Cl] were prepared via a one-pot synthesis using in situ transmetalation from the correspondent silver NHC complexes. These complexes re...
