Resistance against anticancer drugs remains a serious obstacle in cancer treatment. Here we used novel strategies to target microsomal glutathione transferase 1 (MGST1) and glutathione transferase pi (GSTP) that are often overexpressed in tumors and confer ...
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 ...
The antiproliferative properties of a group of 13 structurally diverse gold(III) compounds, including six mononuclear gold(III) complexes, five dinuclear oxo-bridged gold(III) complexes, and two organogold(III) compounds, toward several human tumor cell li ...
The thioredoxin system plays a key role in regulating the overall intracellular redox balance. It basically comprises the small redox protein thioredoxin (Trx), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, in its reduced form (NADPH), and thioredoxin reduc ...
A proof-of-principle study on the application of a top-down electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometric approach for characterization of the primary binding sites of the platinum anticancer agents cisplatin, transpl ...
The development of metal-based chemotherapeutics lacks methods which are capable of providing early indication on the potential of new metal complexes as future anticancer drugs. Since most of these compounds are administered intravenously, serum proteins ...
Doxorubicin has the widest spectrum of antitumor activity of all antineoplastic agents and is the most utilized anticancer drug worldwide. Unfortunately there are several tumor types that do not respond to doxorubicin and, furthermore, its effectiveness is ...
A review. Platinum complex-based chemotherapy is one of the major treatment options of many malignancies. Although severe side effects occur, and only a limited spectrum of tumors can be cured, Pt compds. are used in every second therapy scheme. Thus, many ...
The discovery of the anticancer properties of cisplatin in 1965 heralded the development of metallopharmaceuticals and founded a revolution in cancer therapy. Platinum drugs are believed to induce cytotoxicity by cross-linking DNA, causing changes to the D ...
Ruthenium-based anticancer chemotherapies are making significant advances in clinical trials. Until recently, the focus has been on coordination complexes, and mechanisms such as "activation by reduction" and "transferrin-targeted delivery" have been propo ...
