In Cellulo Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of NHC Platinum Compounds in Metastatic Cutaneous Melanoma

Abstract: We describe here the evaluation of the cytotoxic efficacy of two platinum (II) complexes bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, a pyridine ligand and bromide or iodide ligands on a panel of human metastatic cutaneous melanoma cell lines representing different genetic subsets including BRAF-inhibitor-resistant cell lines, namely A375, SK-MEL-28, MeWo, HMCB, A375-R, SK-MEL-5-R and 501MEL-R. Cisplatin and dacarbazine were also studied for comparison purposes. Remarkably, the iodine-labelled Pt-NHC comple… Show more

“…In addition, the study of the BRAF-inhibitor-resistant variant of A375 cells demonstrated a significant reduction in dacarbazine effectiveness. The value of EC 50 for 72 h of treatment was found to be 288.8 µM [ 60 ]. The above data from in vitro studies show some of the limitations and relatively low efficacy of dacarbazine, also observed in clinical practice.…”

“…No studies have been conducted on the bystander effect as a result of ultrasound exposure combined with chemotherapy agents [ 20 , 21 ]. Therefore, the aim and the novelty of the present study are to evaluate the contribution of the US in the presence of cisplatin to induce the bystander effect, and also this study was conducted on melanoma as the deadliest type of skin cancer with resistance to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy.…”
