regarded as a target with great promise for anticancer drug research and development. Here, we have synthesized and characterized nine new designed rhodium(I) N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes. All of them were effective towards cancer cells, especially complex 1e was more active than cisplatin and manifested strong antiproliferative activity against HCC cells. In vivo anticancer studies showed
硫氧还蛋白还原酶(TrxR)通常在包括肝细胞癌(HCC)细胞在内的不同类型的癌细胞中过表达,被认为是抗癌药物研发的目标。在这里,我们已经合成并表征了九种新设计的
铑(I)N-杂环卡宾(NHC)配合物。它们都对癌细胞有效,尤其是复合物1e比
顺铂更具活性,并表现出对HCC细胞的强抗增殖活性。体内抗癌研究表明,1e可显着抑制HCC裸鼠模型中的肿瘤生长,并改善由
CCl4引起的慢性HCC模型中的肝脏病变。值得注意的是,一项机理研究表明1e在体外和体内均可强烈抑制TrxR系统。此外,1e促进了细胞内ROS的积累,
