Lenis-Rojas, Oscar A.; Cordeiro, Sandra; Horta-Meireles, Marta; Fernandez, Jhonathan Angel Araujo; Fernandez Vila, Sabela; Rubiolo, Juan Andres; Cabezas-Sainz, Pablo; Sanchez, Laura; Fernandes, Alexandra R.; Royo, Beatriz published an article about the compound: 1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene( cas:141556-42-5,SMILESS:CC1=CC(C)=CC(C)=C1[N+]2=[C-]N(C3=C(C)C=C(C)C=C3C)C=C2 ).Reference of 1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene. Aromatic heterocyclic compounds can be classified according to the number of heteroatoms or the size of the ring. The authors also want to convey more information about this compound (cas:141556-42-5) through the article.
Cisplatin and its derivatives are commonly used in chemotherapeutic treatments of cancer, even though they suffer from many toxic side effects. The problems that emerge from the use of these metal compounds led to the search for new complexes capable to overcome the toxic side effects. Here, we report the evaluation of the antiproliferative activity of Fe(II) cyclopentadienyl complexes bearing n-heterocyclic carbene ligands in tumor cells and their in vivo toxicol. profile. The in vitro antiproliferative assays demonstrated that complex Fe1 displays the highest cytotoxic activity both in human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT116) and ovarian carcinoma cells (A2780) with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. The antiproliferative effect of Fe1 was even higher than cisplatin. Interestingly, Fe1 showed low in vivo toxicity, and in vivo analyses of Fe1 and Fe2 compounds using colorectal HCT116 zebrafish xenograft showed that both reduce the proliferation of human HCT116 colorectal cancer cells in vivo.
From this literature《N-Heterocyclic Carbene Iron Complexes as Anticancer Agents: In Vitro and In Vivo Biological Studies》,we know some information about this compound(141556-42-5)Reference of 1,3-Bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene, but this is not all information, there are many literatures related to this compound(141556-42-5).
