The results of a study of the effect of a mononuclear dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC7) with functional sulfur-containing ligands (NO donor) on the cell viability of multiple myeloma cells are presented. It has been shown that DNIC7 decreased cell viability and inhibited the proliferation of cells of multiple myeloma, i.e. possesses cytotoxic properties. Fluorescent analysis revealed that the DNIC7 compound lowers the level of intracellular glutathione and increases the level of reactive oxygen species in cells of multiple myeloma. It is assumed that DNIC7 has the therapeutic potential for the treatment of cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
