Abstract:
The promising drug candidate indazolium trans ‐[tetrachlorobis(1 H ‐indazole)ruthenate(III)] (KP1019) is the second Ru‐based anticancer agent to enter clinical trials. In this review, which is an update of a paper from 2006 ( Hartinger et al., J. Inorg. Biochem. 2006 , 100 , 891–904), the experimental evidence for the proposed mode of action of this coordination compound is discussed, including transport into the cell via the transferrin cycle and activation by reduction. The results of the early clinical development of KP1019 are summarized in which five out of six evaluated patients experienced disease stabilization with no severe side effects.
