Heterometallic compounds as anticancer agents demonstrating<italic>in vivo</italic>potential for the first time. Titanocene–gold derivatives: promising candidates renal cancer.
New organometallic gold(III) and platinum(II) complexes containing iminophosphorane ligands are described. Most of them more cytotoxic to a number human cancer cell lines than cisplatin. Cationic Pt(II) derivatives 4 5, which differ only in the anion, Hg2Cl6(2-) or PF6(-) respectively, display almost identical IC50 values sub-micromolar range (25-335-fold active cisplatin on these lines). The gold compounds induced mainly caspase-independent death, as previously reported for related...
We report on the synthesis, characterization, and stability studies of new titanocene complexes containing a methyl group carboxylate ligand (mba = -OC(O)-p-C6H4-S-) bound to gold(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene fragments through thiolate group: [(η5-C5H5)2TiMe(μ-mba)Au(NHC)]. The cytotoxicities heterometallic compounds along with those novel monometallic gold-N-heterocyclic precursors [(NHC)Au(mbaH)] have been evaluated against renal, prostate, colon, breast cancer cell lines. highest activity...
We describe a versatile and quick route to cationic gold(i) complexes containing N-heterocyclic carbenes second ancillary ligand (such as phosphanes, phosphites, arsines amines) of interest for the synthesis compounds with potential catalytic medicinal applications. The general synthetic strategy has been applied in preparation novel heterobimetallic ruthenium(ii)-gold(i) that are highly cytotoxic renal cancer Caki-1 colon HCT 116 cell lines while showing synergistic effect being more...
Early–late transition metal TiAu2 compounds [(η-C5H5)2Ti{OC(O)CH2PPh2AuCl}2] (3) and new [(η-C5H5)2Ti{OC(O)-4-C6H4PPh2AuCl}2] (5) were evaluated as potential anticancer agents in vitro against renal prostate cancer cell lines. The significantly more effective than monometallic titanocene dichloride gold(I) [{HOC(O)RPPh2}AuCl] (R = −CH2– 6, −4-C6H4– 7) derivatives lines, indicating a synergistic effect of the resulting heterometallic species. activity on lines (for 5 nanomolar range) was...
This work supports the concept of multifunctional heterometallic compounds as “improved” candidate agents for cancer treatment.
This fluorous biphasic catalysis (FBC) contribution was focused on the synthesis and characterization of new soluble R(f)-Cu(II) carboxylate complexes containing nonfluoroponytailed ligands defines their role as precatalysts for FBC oxidation alkenols alcohols in presence 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO)/O(2). In this approach, we have utilized phase-switching technique Vincent et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2002, 124, 12942) to solubilize ligands, N-1,4,7-Me(3)TACN, 2,...
