Abstract

With the aim to develop new anti-cancer approaches, which encompass therapies based on drug combinations, we are searching for innovative anti-tumor multi-targets treatments.1 In this research Curcumin represents our referring and starting point for the design of new derivatives. Curcumin, a natural occurring molecule, was shown to inhibit growth of several types of malignant cells and its biological activity was also related to its iron chelating ability.2 Recently curcumin proceeded onto clinical trials however its use is limited by a poor bioavailability. In order to improve curcumin water solubility and drug-delivery we have synthesized new derivatives which conjugate anti-proliferative effects with metal chelating capacity. They are able to reduce free iron level and to potentially deliver a chemotherapic metal ion such as Ga(III).
