The ability to track drugs inside of cells and tumours has been highly valuable in cancer research and diagnosis. Metal complexes add attractive features to fluorescent drugs, such as targeting and specificity, solubility and uptake or photophysical properties. This review focuses on the latest fluorescent metal-based complexes, their cellular targets, photophysical properties and possible anticancer effects.
追踪细胞和肿瘤内药物的能力在癌症研究和诊断中具有很高的价值。金属配合物为荧光药物增添了吸引人的特性,例如靶向性和特异性、溶解性和摄取率或光物理性质。本文综述了最新的荧光金属基配合物、它们的细胞靶标、光物理性质和可能的抗癌作用。
