Abstract

Abstract : Titanium phenolato anticancer complex of a single hexadentate tetraanionic ligand aced it all! It is stable for weeks in biological environments, with negligible loss of activity after preincubation for days in medium and serum; it is widely effective in vitro towards 56 cell lines and in vivo in murine models; it is biologically accessible, demonstrating its activity in vitro and in vivo without formulations; it is markedly selective to cancer cells, with no clinical signs of toxicity to treated animals, and indications of apoptotic pathways involved.
