Terpyridine functionalized cyclodextrin nanoparticles: metal coordination for tuning anticancer activity

Dalton Trans. 2022 Mar 29;51(13):5000-5003. doi: 10.1039/d2dt00613h.

Abstract

Multi-metal and multi-cavity systems based on the coordination properties of terpyridine functionalized cyclodextrin polymers were synthesized and characterized. Nanoparticles decorated with terpyridine derivatives via metal coordination showed high antiproliferative activity in tumor cells.
