Iron‐Containing Nucleoside Analogues with Pronounced Apoptosis‐Inducing Activity

Abstract

Bioactive organometallic compounds: Iron-containing nucleoside analogues, which can be stereoselectively synthesized in a few steps starting from simple carbohydrates, cause tumor cells to undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death; see picture for the typical morphological characteristics of BJAB tumor cells after apoptosis).
