Identification of a rhodium(<scp>iii</scp>) complex as a Wee1 inhibitor against<i>TP53</i>-mutated triple-negative breast cancer cells

Abstract

The rhodium(iii) complex 1 was identified as a potent Wee1 inhibitor in vitro and in cellulo. It decreased Wee1 activity and unscheduled mitotic entry, and induced cell damage and death in TP53-mutated triple-negative breast cancer cells. 1 represents a promising scaffold for further development of more potent metal-based Wee1 antagonists.
