Key Problem and Market Opportunity

  • There has been a growing interest in expanding the applications of palladium complexes in anti-cancer.
  • The main challenge for the development of anticancer palladium(II) complexes is their high reactivities toward sulfur-containing biomolecules, such as glutathione (GSH), and ease of substitution reactions under physiological conditions, leading to low in vivo stability and multiple speciation that complicates the potential therapeutic applications.
