Abstract

Vanadium compounds are well known for their therapeutic interventions against several diseases. Various biochemical attributes of vanadium complexes inspired us to evaluate the cancer cell killing efficacy of the vanadium complex, viz., vanadyl N-(2-hydroxyacetophenone) glycinate [VO(NG)2]. Previously we showed that VO(NG)2 is an effective anticancer agent in in vitro and in vivo cancer models and imposed miniscule side effects. Herein we report that VO(NG)2 is significantly cytotoxic to various cancer cell lines. Furthermore, this redox active vanadyl complex altered the redox homeostatsis of many human cancer cell lines significantly. VO(NG)2 actuates programmed cell death in human colorectal carcinoma cells(HCT-116) through mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization but in caspase independent manner, possibly by altering cellular redox status and by inflicting DNA damage. Thus, the present work is an attempt to provide many evidences regarding the potent and selective chemotherapeutic efficacy of the novel VO(NG)2.
