Cisplatin (cDDP) resistance is a matter of concern in triple-negative breast cancer therapeutics. We measured the metabolic response of cDDP-sensitive (S) and -resistant (R) MDA-MB-231 cells to Pd2Spermine(Spm) (a possible alternative to cDDP) compared to cDDP to investigate (i) intrinsic response/resistance mechanisms and (ii) the potential cytoto...
A dinuclear Pt(II) complex with putrescine as bridging polyamine ligand ([Pt2Put2(NH3)4]Cl4) was synthesized and assessed as to its potential anticancer activity against a human non-small cell lung cancer line (A549), as well as towards non-cancer cells (BEAS-2B). This effect was evaluated through in vitro cytotoxicity assays (MTT and SRB) coupled...
Regarding the development of new antineoplastic agents, with a view to assess the selective antitumoral potential which aims at causing irreversible damage to cancer cells while preserving the integrity of their healthy counterparts, it is essential to evaluate the cytotoxic effects in both healthy and malignant human cell lines. In this study, a c...
