Abstract:
In this article, we report on the synthesis and the chemical and biological characterization of novel gold(III) complexes based on hydroxyl- or amino-quinoline ligands that are evaluated as prospective anticancer agents. To gain further insight into their reactivity and possible mode of action, their interactions with model proteins and standard nucleic acid molecules were investigated.
