- The study focuses on creating and evaluating gold (Au) and copper (Cu) complexes designed to target cancer cells more effectively, potentially reducing chemotherapy side effects.
- Carbohydrates were used as targeting agents due to their role in the Warburg effect, which leads to increased glucose transporter proteins in cancer cells.
- Six different metal-ligand complexes were synthesized and tested, with one demonstrating significant cytotoxicity against HCT116 colorectal cancer cells, indicating promise for future research on targeted cancer treatment.
