Cancer cell selective antiproliferative activity of thiadiazole-based half-sandwich complexes in sensitive and resistant ovarian cancer cell lines is triggered by exchanging Ru for Ir and by switching the halido coligand from chloride to iodide.
It is possible to emphasize that mainly complex 4 could represent a further step in the development of selective and highly effective anticancer agents, particularly against resistant tumour types.
