1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
The cellular mechanism of action of an iridium(III) half-sandwich complex [(η(5)-C5Me4C6H4C6H5)Ir(phen)Cl]PF6 (phen = phenanthroline) (1) is reported. Complex 1 was used to treat several cell lines, including cisplatin-sensitive, cisplatin-resistant (with intrinsic and acquired resistance) carcinoma cells with wild type p53 status as well as the cells with no intact p53 gene, and nontumorigenic cells. Complex 1...
