A focus on the biological targets for coinage metal-NHCs as potential anticancer complexes

Federica Guarra et al.

Summary: Metal complexes of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are attracting increasing attention for therapeutic purposes. Among different metal centres like Au, Ag, and Cu, they exhibit anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-tumour properties. This review focuses on the biological targets of these compounds and provides insights into their mechanistic behavior based on structure-activity relationships.

Synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene gold(I) complexes

Fady Nahra et al.

Summary: N-heterocyclic carbene gold(I) chloride and hydroxide complexes are commonly used as synthetic reagents and efficient catalysts. This study describes a straightforward and practical method for synthesizing mononuclear gold complexes with high yields, as well as the synthesis of a mononuclear gold(I) hydroxide complex and an improved synthesis method for a dinuclear gold(I) hydroxide complex. This methodology offers advantages such as the use of sustainable reaction solvents and commercially available starting materials.

Unveiling Luminescent IrI and RhI N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes: Structure, Photophysical Specifics, and Cellular Localization in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

Isabelle Marie Daubit et al.

Summary: The synthesis of luminescent Rh-I and Ir-I [M(COD)(NHC)I] complexes with 1,8-naphthalimide-based emitting ligands has been reported, and the complexes were found to predominantly accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum, providing new insights into the cellular localization of such Ir-I(NHC) complexes.
