Cytotoxic sub-nanometer aqueous platinum clusters as potential antitumoral agents

Abstract

Ligand–free sub–nanometer metal clusters (MCs) of Pt, Ir, Rh, Au and Cu, are prepared here in neat water and used as extremely active (nM) antitumoral agents for HeLa and A2870...

Interplay between the oxidation process and cytotoxic effects of antimonene nanomaterials

“…6 and S7 †), following a similar procedure previously employed for other nanomaterials. 45 For this purpose, SbCl 3 was used as a positive control for Sb cellular toxicity, as previously reported for similar studies, 20,25 and also employed as an Sb-H synthetic precursor. Dose-response curves were obtained from the cellular viability assay (Fig.…”
