Inhibitory effect of protonic bis(5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline) on proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma and its molecular mechanism

Treatment of colorectal cancer by anticancer and antibacterial effects of hemiprotonic phenanthroline-phenanthroline+ with nanomicelle delivery

“…ph-ph + is a slightly water-soluble compound with a molecular weight of 430.42. It's suggested that ph-ph + has potent activity toward gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Beta hemolytic streptococcus and Streptococcus pneumoniae [23] . Meanwhile, it can inhibit tumor cell proliferation, including glioma, lung cancer, melanoma and liver cancer, without affecting normal cell viability.…”
