A method for treating a subject suffering from a cancer, in particular a multidrug-resistant cancer includes administrating a cobalt-polypyridyl complex to the subject. A method for suppressing the growth of cancer cells, in particular inducing autophagy of the cancer cells, inducing cell cycle arrest of the cancer cells and/or inhibiting cell invasion of the cancer cells and for specifically targeting cancer cells with multidrug-resistance includes contacting said cancer cells with the cobalt-polypyridyl complex. A pharmaceutical composition and a kit are provided and include the cobalt-polypyridyl complex. Unexpectedly, the cobalt-polypyridyl complex is especially suitable to treat cancer, in particular multidrug-resistant cancer with an exceptionally increased cytotoxic activity towards multidrug-resistant cancer cells.
一种用于治疗患有癌症的受试者的方法,特别是多药耐药癌症,包括向受试者施用钴-多吡啶基配合物。一种用于抑制癌细胞生长的方法,特别是诱导癌细胞自噬,诱导癌细胞细胞周期停滞和/或抑制癌细胞侵袭,并且专门靶向具有多药耐药性的癌细胞的方法包括将所述癌细胞与钴-多吡啶基配合物接触。提供了一种药物组合物和一个工具包,包括钴-多吡啶基配合物。出人意料的是,钴-多吡啶基配合物特别适用于治疗癌症,特别是对多药耐药癌细胞具有极大的细胞毒活性。
