Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are thought to be responsible for the recurrence and invasion of glioblastoma multiform (GBM), which have been evaluated and exploited as the therapeutic target for GBM. Cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes have been demonstrated as the potential anticancer agents, however, their antitumor efficacies against GSCs are still unknown. Herein, we investigated the antitumor activity of two cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes [Ir(ppy)2L](PF6) (Ir1) and [Ir(thpy)2L](PF6) (Ir2) (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, thpy = 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine and L = 4,4′-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine) against GSCs. The results clearly indicate that Ir1 and Ir2 kill GSCs selectively with IC50 values ranging from 5.26-9.05μM. Further mechanism research display that Ir1 and Ir2 can suppress the proliferation of GSCs, penetrate into GSCs efficiently, localize to mitochondria, and induce mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, including the loss of mitochondrial membrane (MMP), elevation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caspases activation. Moreover, Ir1 and Ir2 can destroy the GSCs self-renewal and unlimited proliferation capacity by affecting the GSCs colony formation. According our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the anti-GSCs properties of cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes.
As far as I know, this compound(1008-89-5)HPLC of Formula: 1008-89-5 can be applied in many ways, which is helpful for the development of experiments. Therefore many people are doing relevant researches.
