Antitumour metal compounds: more than theme and variations

TL;DR: The recent achievement of oxaliplatin for the treatment of colon cancer should not belie the imbalance between a plethora of investigated complexes and a very small number of clinically approved platinum drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferrocifen type anti cancer drugs.

TL;DR: It is shown here the different antitumoral approaches offered by ferrocifen derivatives, originally simple derivatives of tamoxifen, which over the course of their development have proved to possess remarkable structural and mechanistic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The development of RAPTA compounds for the treatment of tumors

TL;DR: Ruthenium(II)-arene RAPTA-type compounds have been extensively explored for their medicinal properties and a comprehensive review of this class of compounds is provided in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metal-based drugs that break the rules

TL;DR: This work highlights compounds that are apparently incompatible with the more classical (platinum-derived) concepts employed in the development of metal-based anticancer drugs, with respect to both compound design and the approaches used to validate their utility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in supramolecular and biological aspects of arene ruthenium(II) complexes

TL;DR: A review of the recent developments of arene ruthenium complexes towards both supramolecular chemistry and biology can be found in this paper, where the authors focus on the recent development of these compounds towards both biology and chemistry.

Self‐Assembly of Ambidentate Pyridyl‐Carboxylate Ligands with Octahedral Ruthenium Metal Centers: Self‐Selection for a Single‐Linkage Isomer and Anticancer‐Potency Studies

TL;DR: The synthesis of six new [2+2] metallarectangles through the coordination-driven self-assembly of octahedral Ru(II)-based acceptors with ambidentate pyridyl-carboxylate donors is described, with cytotoxicities that were particularly high against AGS cancer cells, with IC50 values that were comparable to that of reference drug cisplatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Am(m)ines Make the Difference: Organoruthenium Am(m)ine Complexes and Their Chemistry in Anticancer Drug Development

TL;DR: In general, complexes with biphenyl as arene ligand inhibited the growth of tumor cells more effectively than the cymene analogues, consistent with the increase in lipophilicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acetal-Functionalized RAPTA Complexes for Conjugation and Labeling

TL;DR: RAPTA compounds derivatized with acetal groups via a pendant chain to the arene ligand were developed as a functional probe for selective postlabeling and tagging of covalent RAPTA adducts in cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective, Cytotoxic Organoruthenium(II) Full‐Sandwich Complexes: A Structural, Computational and In Vitro Biological Study

TL;DR: In vitro cytotoxicity studies demonstrate these delocalized lipophilic cations to be potent growth inhibitors of eleven unique tumorigenic cell lines, while exhibiting significantly lower levels of toxicity towards both a normal human fibroblast and a mouse macrophage cell line.
