Markedly different cytotoxicity of the two enantiomers of C(2)-symmetrical Ti(IV) phenolato complexes; mechanistic implications

Dalton Trans. 2010 Feb 7;39(5):1182-4. doi: 10.1039/b920786b. Epub 2009 Nov 2.

Abstract

The two enantiomers of a member of the highly active C(2)-symmetrical bis(isopropoxo) Ti(iv) family of complexes of diamine bis(phenolato) ligands demonstrate markedly different cytotoxicity, supporting a chiral biological target of activity and participation of a ligand-bound active species.
