Abstract

Organometallic Au(I) NHC compounds bearing caffeine-type ligands have been synthesized and characterized as promising anticancer agents. The bis-carbene complex [Au(caffeine-2-yliene)2][BF4] appeared to be selective for human ovarian cancer cell lines in vitro and poorly toxic in healthy organs ex vivo. The compound shows high affinity and selectivity for G-quadruplex structures as demonstrated by FRET melting assay.
