Gallium(iii)-polypyridyl complexes as anti-osteosarcoma stem cell agents

Abstract

Gallium(III) complexes with polypridyl ligands are shown to kill bulk osteosarcoma cells and osteosarcoma stem cells (OSCs) with up to nanomolar potency. The most effective complex induces apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells by damaging genomic DNA. To the best of our knowledge this is the first investigation into metal-based anti-OSC agents.
