Selected cytotoxic gold compounds cause significant inhibition of 20S proteasome catalytic activities
2014
Abstract Six structurally diverse cytotoxic gold compounds are reported to cause profound and differential inhibition of the three main catalytic activities of purified 20S proteasome whilst auranofin , an established gold(I) drug in clinical use, is nearly ineffective. In particular, the gold(I) complex [( pbiH ) Au ( PPh 3 )] PF 6 , turns out to be the most potent inhibitor of all three enzyme activities with sub-micromolar IC 50 values. The present results further support the view that proteasome inhibition may play a major – yet not exclusive – role in the cytotoxic actions of gold based anticancer agents.
124I Radiolabeling of a AuIII‐NHC Complex for In Vivo Biodistribution Studies†
2020
Abstract AuIII complexes with N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have shown remarkable potential as anticancer agents, yet their fate in vivo has not been thoroughly examined and understood. Reported herein is the synthesis of new AuIII‐NHC complexes by direct oxidation with radioactive [124I]I2 as a valuable strategy to monitor the in vivo biodistribution of this class of compounds using positron emission tomography (PET). While in vitro analyses provide direct evidence for the importance of AuIII‐to‐AuI reduction to achieve full anticancer activity, in vivo studies reveal that a fraction of the AuIII‐NHC prodrug is not immediately reduced after administration but able to reach the major…
