Ir–Ho bimetallic complex-mediated low-dose radiotherapy/radiodynamic therapy in vivo†
Abstract
We report a bimetallic complex [Ir4Ho2(pq)8(H2dcbpy)4(OAc)2] (denoted as Ir4Ho2, pq = 2-phenylquinoline, H2dcppy = 2,2′-bipyridine-3,3′-dicarboxylic acid) and its application for radiotherapy/radiodynamic therapy (RT/RDT). In a tumor xenograft mouse model, Ir4Ho2 exerted a tumor-suppressive effect through efficient low-dose RT/RDT.
