Cellular uptake and subcellular distribution of ruthenium-based metallodrugs under clinical investigation versus cisplatin

Paul Joseph Dyson, Olivier Pierre Zava, Michael Groessl

The cellular uptake and subcellular distribution including adduct formation with genomic DNA and uptake into mitochondria of two ruthenium(III)-based drugs in clinical trials, KP1019 and NAMI-A, and cisplatin, was investigated in cisplatin sensitive and re ...

A Competitive Co-cultivation Assay for Cancer Drug Specificity Evaluation

Christoph Merten

The identification of compounds that specifically inhibit or kill cancer cells without affecting cells from healthy tissues is very challenging but very important for reducing the side effects of current cancer therapies. Hence, there is an urgent need for ...

Molecular Mechanisms and Proposed Targets for Selected Anticancer Gold Compounds

Angela Casini

Nowadays, gold compounds constitute a family of very promising experimental agents for cancer treatment. Indeed, several gold(I) and gold(III) compounds were shown to manifest outstanding antiproliferative properties in vitro against selected human tumor c ...

Next-Generation Anticancer Metallodrugs

Angela Casini

More than 99% of currently approved clinical drugs are organic compounds. In contrast, the percentage of metal-containing drugs (metallodrugs) is very low. In cancer chemotherapy, however, platinum coordination compounds represented by cisplatin and deriva ...

{(1R,2R,4R)-4-Methyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine}oxalatoplatinum(II): A Novel Enantiomerically Pure Oxaliplatin Derivative Showing Improved Anticancer Activity in Vivo

Christian Hartinger, Alexey Nazarov

Novel derivatives of the clinically established anticancer drug oxaliplatin were synthesized. Cytotoxicity of the compounds was studied in six human cancer cell lines by means of the MTT assay. Additionally, most promising complexes were also investigated ...

Novel organometallic ruthenium complexes for selective activation in tumour cells

Anna Katherine Renfrew

In recent years, ruthenium-based antitumour drugs have emerged as an attractive alternative to cisplatin, exhibiting both excellent activity in tumours where cisplatin is of limited use and low general toxicity, leading to reduced side effects. Two rutheni ...

Studies toward new anti-cancer strategies based on alpha-mannosidase inhibition

Sandrine Gerber

Changes in the glycosylation pattern of cellular glycoproteins constitute a hallmark in human cancer and influence tumour progression, suggesting that inhibitors of selected glycosidases may control cancer invasion. Following the studies on swainsonine, a ...

Anticancer activity of osmium metalla-rectangles

Paul Joseph Dyson, Fabio Edafe

A series of cationic metalla-rectangles of the general formula [(p-cymene)4Os4(OO.intrsec.OO)2(N.intrsec.N)2]4+ have been obtained in methanol from the dinuclear arene osmium precursors [(p-cymene)2Os2(OO.intrsec.OO)2Cl2] (OO.intrsec.OO = 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4 ...

Ruthenium versus platinum: interactions of anticancer metallodrugs with duplex oligonucleotides characterised by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry

Paul Joseph Dyson, Yury Tsybin, Christian Hartinger, Michael Groessl

The binding of the ruthenium-based anticancer drug candidates KP1019, NAMI-A and RAPTA-T towards different double-stranded oligonucleotides was probed by electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry and compared with that of the widely used platinum-based che ...
