Abstract:
Iridium(III) complexes nowadays became rising stars in various health-related applications. Thus, there is a necessity to assess cytotoxicity of the synthesized molecules against cancer/normal cell lines. In this report, we present a dataset of 2694 experimental cytotoxicity values of 803 iridium complexes against 127 different cell lines. We specify the experimental conditions and provide representation of the complexes molecules in machine-readable format. The dataset provides a starting point for exploration of new iridium-based cellular probes and opens new possibilities for predictions of toxicities and data-driven generation of new organometallic anticancer agents.
