Abstract:Drug resistance is a major obstacle in cancer treatment. Herein, four novel organometallic complexes, with the general formula [Ru(η 6 -p-cymene)(HL)Cl]Cl and [Rh(η 5 -C 5 Me 5 )-(HL)Cl]Cl, were developed to target multidrug-resistant (MDR) cancer cells, where HL denotes 8-hydroxyquinoline-derived Mannich bases (HQCl-pyr and HQCl-pip). The aim of the complexation was to obtain compounds with improved drug-like properties. The complexes were comprehensively characterized by various spectroscopic methods in term… Show more
