Clinically, most chemotherapeutic ADCs are based on complex organic molecules, while the conjugation of metallodrugs to mAbs has been overlooked, despite the resurgent interest in metal-based drugs as cancer chemotherapeutics. In 2019, we described the first gold ADCs containing gold-triphenylphosphane fragments as a proof of concept.

These compounds are cytotoxic and selective against a small panel of renal, bladder, ovarian, and breast cancer cell lines. We selected a trinuclear PtAu compound containing the Pt core based on oxaliplatin, to further investigate its cell-death pathway, cell and organelle uptake and anticancer effects against the triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cell line.

Over the past decade, interest on multitarget anticancer drugs -including heterometallic compounds-has increased considerably. Heterometallic species display improved efficacy and physicochemical properties compared to the individual metallic fragments for a variety of metal pair combinations. By 2018, several compounds had emerged as promising candidates against cisplatin resistant cancers.
