Product Description: Complex 3 is a fluorescent dithiocarbazate-copper complex with anticancer activity, which localizes to mitochondria. Complex 3 displays excitation/emission maxima of 455-495/535 nm, respectively. Complex 3 inhibits the growth of BxPC-3, AsPC-1, PANC-1, and WI38 pancreatic cancer cells with IC50 values of 0.74, 0.41, 0.62, and 2.06 µM, respectively. Complex 3 induces lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial rupture and shrinkage in AsPC-1 cells. Complex 3 also induces mitochondrial apoptosis and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction dysfunction in AsPC-1 cells. Complex 3 reduces tumor volume in an AsPC-1 mouse xenograft model[1].
