Abstract
A series of neutral and cationic gold(I) complexes bearing a glucopyranoside‐incorporated N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand are synthetized and structurally characterized. Different secondary ligands (chlorido, phosphane, or sugar–NHC) are employed to tune the properties of the complexes. The antiproliferative effects of the compounds are evaluated against PC‐3 prostate cancer cells and a panel of human tumor cell lines. The activities of the phosphane complexes are comparable to that observed for cisplatin. The combined results provide further insights into the biological behavior of NHC–gold complexes.
