“…This selectivity of PEG-Mn-BDA may be due to its ability to induce cell death via different pathways and its excellent transport system into the cells. Studies have shown that iron transport proteins such as transferrin receptors are over expressed on cancer cells [33,34], and manganese complexes are transported into cancer cells using the same transport system [35]. PEG-Mn-BDA is therefore suspected to be transported into the SMMC-7721 cells by these iron transport proteins.…”

“…Therefore, it can be speculated that Mn(II) complexes could exert their antitumor action by specifically impairing the transport mechanism of TfR proteins. 12 In recent years, various binuclear Mn(II) complexes have been synthesized with diverse ligand scaffolds and shown to exhibit remarkable cytotoxic activity in vitro. 13,14 Zinc features as the 2nd most prevalent trace-metal element in the human body and is actively involved in the DNA synthesis and repair mechanisms, cell metabolism, and defense against oxidative damage.…”
