Abstract

The synthesis of novel hydrophilic gold(I) NHC complexes is reported. Selected compounds distinctly target the pivotal biological target thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in the nanomolar range, as for the benchmark anticancer drug auranofin, and exhibit remarkable antiproliferative effects against human ovarian cancer cells.
