Anticancer Activity of the Light Stable Zinc Isotope (Zn) Compounds.

Background/aim: Today, stable isotopes of zinc are actively used for diagnostic purposes in oncology. However, there is extremely limited data on the attempts to apply stable zinc isotopes in cancer therapy or about the molecular mechanisms of their effects on the biology of tumor cells. Therefore, in this in vitro research, we evaluated the cytotoxic activity of stable zinc isotope (Zn) enriched compounds against malignant cells and determined the mechanisms of their action.
