Based on ESI-MS measurements, we show here that some representative cytotoxic gold(III) compounds produce stable adducts upon reaction with the copper chaperone Atox-1; notably, such adducts contain gold in the oxidation state +1. These findings are of interest to understand the intracellular metabolism of medicinal gold species and to develop new potent inhibitors of the copper trafficking system.

Abstract
Based on ESI-MS measurements, we show here that some representative cytotoxic gold(III) compounds produce stable adducts upon reaction with the copper chaperone Atox-1; notably, such adducts contain gold in the oxidation state +1. These findings are of interest to understand the intracellular metabolism of medicinal gold species and to develop new potent inhibitors of the copper trafficking system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
