Abstract

FETPY, an organo-diiron(I) complex, showed strong cytotoxicity across a panel of human and mouse cancer cell lines, combined with an outstanding selectivity compared to nonmalignant cells. Enhanced iron uptake in aggressive, low-differentiated cell lines, caused membrane lipid peroxidation, which resulted in ferroptosis in human ovarian cancer cells. FETPY induced significant morphological changes in murine B16-F1 and B16-F10 melanoma cells, leading to senescence and/or trans-differentiation into Schwann-like cells, thus significantly reducing their tumorigenic potential. Additionally, FETPY substantially suppressed tumor growth in low- and high-grade syngeneic melanoma models when administered in a therapeutic regimen. FETPY is featured by satisfactory water solubility (millimolar range), an amphiphilic character (Log Pow = -0.17), and excellent stability in a biological medium (DMEM). These important requisites for drug development are rarely met in iron complexes investigated so far as possible anticancer agents. Overall, FETPY holds promise as a safe and potent targeted antitumor agent.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 April 2024.
All research outputs
#23,107,284
of 25,754,670 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
#22,785
of 23,292 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#122,443
of 154,771 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
#68
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,754,670 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 23,292 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 154,771 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
