Dinuclear zinc(ii) complexes containing (benzimidazol-2-yl)benzene that overcome drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma cells through induction of mitochondria fragmentation†
Abstract
Herein we demonstrated that dinuclear zinc complexes could overcome drug resistance in R-HepG2 drug resistance hepatocellular carcinoma cells through induction of mitochondria-mediated apoptosis or by triggering mitochondria fragmentation, depletion of the membrane potential and intracellular ATP levels.
