Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer is a leading global health issue, and cisplatin is a common chemotherapy drug. However, cisplatin has several drawbacks like toxicity and resistance, prompting research into new drug compounds with lower side effects.
  • The study focuses on a new compound, Mn(II) Cysteine-Tyrosine dithiocarbamate, which was created through a detailed synthesis process and tested using in-silico molecular docking and in-vitro methods on MCF-7 cancer cells.
  • While the compound showed some interaction with cancer cells and specific binding to estrogen receptors, it ultimately displayed low bioactivity and insufficient anticancer effects.

Objective: Breast cancer ranks second in terms of the highest number of cancer deaths for women worldwide and is one of the leading causes of death from cancer in women. The drug that is often used for chemotherapy is cisplatin. However, cisplatin drugs have a number of problems, including lack of selectivity, unwanted side effects, resistance, and toxicity in the body.

Objective: Cervical cancer is a malignancy originating from the cervix and often caused by oncogenic Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), specifically subtypes 16 and 18. Anticancer drugs are chemotherapeutic compounds used for cancer treatment. Therefore, this research aims to synthesize and characterize Zinc (II) dichloroethylenediamine (Zn(en)Cl2) complex, as well as determine its antiproliferative activity against HeLa cells.

Cisplatin is a cancer medication widely used today, but it still poses some problems due to its toxic properties in the body. To overcome this issue, a new complex has been developed as a potential anticancer drug prospect by minimizing its toxic consequences. A novel Zn(II)IleDTC complex containing isoleucine dithiocarbamate ligands has been produced and analyzed using a range of analytical and spectroscopic methods.

Objective: The new Mg(II) cysteindithiocarbamate complex drug has been synthesized by the in-situ method and tested for its anticancer activity in vitro.

Method: Mg(II) cysteindithiocarbamate complexes were characterized using Ultra Violet Visible, Infra-Red, melting points, and molar conductivity.

Results: The UV-Vis data of cysteindithiocarbamate Mg(II), shows that at 296 nm and 385 nm was occurred the electronic transitions π → π* and n → π* for CS2 and N =C =S.

Background: This study was carried out to synthesize a new complex of Fe(II) with isoleucine dithiocarbamate ligand and to determine its potential as an anticancer and antiviral agent for SARSCOV-2.

Methods: The synthesized complexes were then characterized by UV-vis and FT-IR spectroscopy and their melting points. The value of the conductivity of the complex compound is also determined.

Background: With essential metals being studied and developed as anticancer agents, this study aims to explore the anticancer activity of Zn(II) arginine dithiocarbamate in the T47D and fibroblast cell lines.

Method: The Zn(II) arginine dithiocarbamate complex was prepared by the in situ method and characterized using infra-red spectroscopy, melting point, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction instruments. The complex compound was tested for its cytotoxicity to the T47D breast cancer and fibroblast cell lines.

Introduction: Cancer refer to genetic changes in the DNA structure accompanied by abnormal growth of normal cells, and resulting in the death of these structures, and is a disease currently recognized as a major cause of mortality globally. Chemotherapy plays important role in breast cancer management. Non-toxic metals have been developed to replace the highly toxic cisplatin, an example being Manganese.
