Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Gold(III) complexes containing mixed ligands. A method of treating cancer with these complexes is disclosed. The complexes are cytotoxic to prostate, breast, ovarian, and Hodgkin lymphoma cancer cell lines. These complexes were either more potent than cisplatin or had similar potency to cisplatin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gold(III) complex selected from the following: 2. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising: the gold(III) complex of claim 1 ; and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or excipient. 3. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein the at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and/or excipient is selected from the group consisting of water, an organic solvent, an animal fat, a vegetable fat, a vegetable oil, and a polymer. 4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises 0.1-10 wt % of the gold(III) complex, based on a total weight of the pharmaceutical composition. 5. A method for treating cancer, comprising: administering an effective amount of the gold(III) complex of claim 1 to a subject in need thereof, wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and Hodgkin lymphoma. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the effective amount is in a range of 1-100 mg/kg body weight of the subject. 7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the cancer is at least one selected from the group consisting of prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and Hodgkin lymphoma. 8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the cancer is prostate cancer which is resistant to androgen deprivation therapy. 9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the cancer is resistant to at least one platinum-based chemotherapy drug. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the cancer is ovarian cancer. 11. A method for inhibiting growth of cancer cells, comprising: contacting a cytotoxic amount of the gold(III) complex of claim 1 with the cancer cells, wherein the cancer cells are selected from the group consisting of prostate cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and Hodgkin lymphoma cells. 12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the cancer cells are from at least one cell line selected from the group consisting of PC3, MCF-7, A2780, A2780cis, A2780CP-16, H460, A549, H226, H838, H157, H1975, H2122, SKLU1, H1299, and L-540.
