A dual cytotoxic and anti-angiogenic water-soluble gold(iii) complex induces endoplasmic reticulum damage in HeLa cells

Abstract

The water-soluble gold(III) complex [AuIII(butyl-C⁁N)biguanide]Cl (butyl-HC⁁N = 2-(4-n-butylphenyl)pyridine, BCN) displays cytotoxicity through S-phase cell cycle arrest and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) damage in HeLa cells, and shows a promising anti-angiogenic effect at sub-cytotoxic concentrations.
