A New Strategy to Fight Metallodrug Resistance: Mitochondria‐Relevant Treatment through Mitophagy to Inhibit Metabolic Adaptations of Cancer Cells
6 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Metabolic adaptations can help cancer cells to escape from chemotherapeutics, mainly involving autophagy and ATP production. Herein, we report a new rhein‐based cyclometalated IrIII complex, Ir‐Rhein, that can accurately target mitochondria and effectively inhibit metabolic adaptations. The complex Ir‐Rhein induces severe mitochondrial damage and initiates mitophagy to reduce the number of mitochondria...
