Cyclometalated iridium( <scp>iii</scp> ) complexes induce mitochondria-derived paraptotic cell death and inhibit tumor growth <i>in vivo</i>
1 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
The development of iridium complexes as potent anticancer agents has received increasing attention in recent years. In this study, four cyclometalated Ir(iii) complexes with good photophysical properties and potent anticancer activity have been synthesized and characterized. They are taken up by human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells very quickly and specifically target mitochondria. Mechanism studies reveal that...
