摘要

Mechanism of action (MoA) studies on the cytotoxic thiolato-bridged triosmium carbonyl clusters Os3(CO)10(μ-H)(μ-SR) (2) indicates that their cytotoxicity is associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, G2/M cell cycle arrest, and subsequent apoptosis. Cellular uptake is a key factor, with an increased reactivity of the cluster with serum leading to reduced available concentrations in the medium thereby diminishing its anti-proliferative effect. Reactivity studies reveal that biomolecular interactions occur predominantly at the triosmium core, with a preference for amine-containing species.
