Catalytic organometallic anticancer complexes.
Organometallic complexes offer chemistry that is not accessible to purely organic molecules and, hence, potentially new mechanisms of drug action. We show here that the presence of both an iodido ligand and a sigma-donor/pi-acceptor phenylazopyridine ligand confers remarkable inertness toward ligand substitution on the half-sandwich "piano-stool" ruthenium arene complexes [(eta(6)-arene)Ru(azpy...
متن کاملActivation Mechanisms for Organometallic Anticancer Complexes
Organometallic complexes offer potential for design as anticancer drugs. They can act as inert scaffolds and specifically inhibit enzymes such as kinases, or as pro-drugs which undergo activation by various mechanisms. The activation of metallocenes, arene, alkyl or aryl complexes by hydrolysis, and metalor ligandbased redox reactions is discussed.
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 کاملMedicinal organometallic chemistry: designing metal arene complexes as anticancer agents.
The field of medicinal inorganic chemistry is rapidly advancing. In particular organometallic complexes have much potential as therapeutic and diagnostic agents. The carbon-bound and other ligands allow the thermodynamic and kinetic reactivity of the metal ion to be controlled and also provide a scaffold for functionalization. The establishment of structure-activity relationships and elucidatio...
