Oxygenated derivatives of cholesterol are known to exhibit potent cytotoxic effects against many different cell types. The cellular basis of this cytotoxicity is not understood. Using two murine cancer cell lines (the EL4 lymphoma and the K36 leukemia cell line) and two oxygenated sterols
Twelve steroidal platinum(II) complexes were synthesized by reaction of potassium tetrachloroplatinate with steroidal esters of L-methionine and L-histidine. The steroidal esters coordinated as bidentate ligands via S and N donor atoms of L-methionine and via two N donor atoms of L-histidine.
Cholesterol is a major component of the plasma membrane in mammalian cells, where it acts as a modulator of bulk physical state and integrity. In addition to its structural role, cholesterol is essential for proliferation and other cell processes. The present study was undertaken to explore the
