Lipid based nanovectors containing ruthenium complexes: a potential route in cancer therapy

Chem Commun (Camb). 2009 Mar 21:(11):1404-6. doi: 10.1039/b820368g. Epub 2009 Jan 21.

Abstract

Ruthenium complexes offer new perspectives in cancer therapy; towards this aim we have synthesized a new amphiphilic unimer able to coordinate ruthenium complexes and to form liposomes.
