In this scenario, even after dissociation from the metal complex under adverse conditions, the ligand would have anti-cancer properties. In our work, we have generated a bispyrazole-containing benzimidazole ligand with potency against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), which is known to have roles in vasculogenesis/angio- 6 genesis.

All the complexes have low affinity towards DNA bases (average Kb ∼ 10 M for CT DNA); however, all the complexes are cytotoxic in nature, with IC50 values less than 15 μM. The pres- ence of excess glutathione (GSH) liberates HL from the complexes in solution. The ability of the Ru complex to impair mitochondrial function and reduce the cellular GSH pool is thought to be the reason that it retains activity in the presence of GSH despite the ability of GSH to degrade the complexes. The chloride analogue 1 shows the best in vitro cytotoxicity against a prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP), with an Received 15th March 2017, IC50 of 6.4 μM.

Kühn*a Metallosupramolecular systems are promising new tools for pharmaceutical applications. Thus, novel self- assembled Pd(II) coordination cages were synthesized which were exo-functionalized with naphthalene or anthracene groups with the aim to image their fate in cells. The cages were also investigated for their anticancer properties in human lung and ovarian cancer cell lines in vitro. While the observed cytotoxic effects hold promise and the cages resulted to be more effective than cisplatin in both cell lines, fluo- rescence emission properties were scarce.
