Simple Summary The resistance of tumours to treatment and their tendency to reoccur
following successful treatment are major problems for long-term cancer patient survival …

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a difficult to treat cellular niche within tumours due to
their unique characteristics, which give them a high propensity for resistance to classical anti …

A platinum (II) complex stabilized by a pyridine and an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand
featuring an anthracenyl moiety was prepared. The compound was fully characterized and …

This study contains the synthesis, spectral analysis, and the enzyme inhibition effects of the
Pd-based complexes bearing both 2-aminopyridine and N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) …

Metal complexes, which exhibit alterable oxidation states, coordination numbers, and
capacity to coordinate with different ligands, have provided a versatile platform for designing …

Abstract The 2-methylpyridine, 2-diethylaminoethyl, and isopentyl linked a series of
symmetric and unsymmetric benzimidazolium salts 2a-e were prepared and used in the …

Cationic polymers such as polyethylenimine (PEI) have found a pervasive place in
laboratories across the world as gene delivery agents. However, their applications are not …

A novel family of IrIII complexes bearing a pyridoannelated N‐heterocyclic carbene is herein
