Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Monomeric and dimeric gold(I) complexes as anticancer agents. The gold(I) complexes are coordinated to mixed ligands: one phosphine-based ligand that may be monodentate or bidentate and at least one dithiocarbamate-based ligand that is monodentate. Pharmaceutical compositions incorporating the gold(I) complexes, methods of synthesis, methods of treating cancer and methods of inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and inducing cancer cell apoptosis are also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for inhibiting proliferation of prostate cancer cells, comprising: contacting the prostate cancer cells with a cytotoxic effective amount of a gold(I) complex represented by Formula (3), wherein Formula (3) is: 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prostate cancer cells are human cells. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cytotoxic effective amount of the gold(I) complex is from 5 to 50 μM. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the gold(I) complex exhibits an IC 50 of from 1 to 150 μM for inhibiting the proliferation and inducing the apoptosis of the prostate cancer cells. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prostate cancer cells are at least one selected from the group consisting of PC-3 cells and DU-145 cells.
