Reactions of the organometallic compound molybdocene dichloride (Cp2MoCl2, Cp = eta5-cyclopentadienyl) with the cysteine-containing peptides L-cysteinylglycine (Cys-Gly), N-acetyl-L-cysteine (AcCys), glycyl-L-cysteine (Gly-Cys), glycyl-L-cysteinylglycine (Gly-Cys-Gly), and gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine (glutathione, GSH) have been studied in aqueous solution in the pH range 2-9. The dipeptides

This Perspective will focus on recent developments in the field of antitumour metallocenes structurally related to titanocene dichloride. Despite extensive testing of titanocene dichloride which culminated in phase I and II clinical trials, further trials have been abandoned. While DNA

The effect of aqueous solubility, charge, and lability of four thiol derivatives of the antitumor metallocene molybdocene dichloride (Cp(2)MoCl(2)) on the cell uptake and cytotoxicity against V79 Chinese hamster lung cells has been determined. Addition of 4-thiol-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoic acid, 1-thio-beta-d-glucose, and

The cytotoxic effects of molybdocene dichloride (Cp(2)MoCl(2)) were investigated in V79 Chinese hamster lung cells using the micronucleus assay. Cp(2)MoCl(2) produced significant genotoxic damage whereby 0.2micronuclei/1000 binucleated cells were induced per muM of Cp(2)MoCl(2). Transmission electron microscopic analysis of thin-sectioned
Thiophosphinate hydrolysis involving P-S bond scission is desirable for the degradation of organophosphate neurotoxins, and we report the first case for such a hydrolytic process by an organometallic compound. The metallocene, bis(cyclopentadienyl)molybdenum(IV) dichloride, Cp(2)MoCl(2) (Cp = eta(5)-C(5)H(5)), hydrolyzes a variety
