Technology
Novel rhodium-based compounds with a strong cytostatic capability are offered for the therapy of cancer. Determination of IC50 values of the discovered rhodium complexes revealed a strong cytostatic effect in breast cancer cells and colon carcinoma cells.
The activity was up to 100fold higher compared to known cytostatica. The rhodium complexes exhibit a high potential in regard of the increasing resistences of tumors to common chemotherapeutic agents, such as Cisplatin or Carboplatin.
Thus the novel antitumor-active rhodium complexes represent powerful compounds to fight especially breast and colorectal cancer.
Advantages
- Therapy of various kinds of cancer and metastases, especially breast and colorectal cancer
- No known resistence development of tumors to rhodium complexes
- Up to 100fold higher activity in comparison to cisplatin
European patent application filed.
This product candidates have been developed at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany and are offered by IPAL.
