Bis(4,7‐dimethyl and 5‐dinitro‐1,10‐phenanthroline) sulfato‐oxovanadium(IV)‐mediated in vivo male germ cell apoptosis

Abstract: Oxovanadium(IV) [VO] complexes of 1,10-phenanthroline are a new class of potent apoptosis-inducing cytotoxic agents against human testicular cancer cells in vitro. The present study investigated the in vivo ability of four(bis)-chelated 1,10-phenanthroline [phen] complexes of sulfato-oxovanadium(IV)-VO(phen)(2), VO(Cl-phen)(2), VO(Me(2)-phen)(2) and VO(NO(2)-phen)(2)-with and without substitutions, to induce testicular germ cell apoptosis. Male germ cell loss in mice was measured by determining the epididymal … Show more

“…These compounds were shown to have a pseudo-first-order rate constant that is one order of magnitude higher than that of cisplatin in the reaction with glutathione. In the search for other active antitumor complexes, various metals have been reported and the most interesting of these are ruthenium [60], cobalt [61], gold [62], iron [63], copper [64] and vanadium [65]. The structure-activity relationships for such systems have not yet been clearly established.…”

“…Certain vanadium complexes [65,138] have anticancer activity against human cancer cells in vitro (testicular, multiple myeloma, glioblastoma, ovarian, prostate, breast, leukemia). Some of these compounds, particularly when one of the ligands is a phenanthroline derivative [138,139], are new potent apoptosis inducers associated with a loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, the generation of reactive oxygen species and depletion of glutathione.…”
