To avoid several side effect of platinum based popular anticancer drugs, tireless attempt of researchers afforded them to contemplate the way of designing the appropriate GSH resistant Ru(II)-arene complexes. In...

Herein, we have introduced a series of Iridium(III)-Cp*-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)phenol complexes via a convenient synthetic methodology which acts as hypoxia active and Glutathione-resistant anticancer metallotherapeutics. Complex [IrIII(Cp*)(L5)(Cl)](PF6) (IrL5) exhibited best cytoselectivity, GSH...
