Half-sandwich Os( ii ) and Ru( ii ) bathophenanthroline complexes: anticancer drug candidates with unusual potency and a cellular activity profile in highly invasive triple-negative breast cancer cells

Abstract excerpt

There is an urgent need to discover new, selective compounds to add to the limited arsenal of chemotherapeutics displaying selective toxicity for aggressive triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. The effect of two, recently developed metal-based half-sandwich complexes [Os(η6-pcym)(bphen)(dca)]PF6 (Os-dca) and [Ru(η6-pcym)(bphen)(dca)]PF6 (Ru-dca) [pcym = 1-methyl-4-(propan-2-yl)benzene (p-cymene); bphen =...
