Cytotoxic agent
Espacenet
Family 86851764
Abstract
Provided is a cytotoxic agent which is activatable by exposure to light. The agent comprises a metal cluster and a molecule comprising a photocleavable group. The molecule forms a structure which at least partially encloses the metal cluster so as to prevent the metal cluster from interacting with a surrounding environment and wherein, upon exposure to light, cleavage of the photocleavable group changes the structure of the molecule such that the metal cluster is able to interact with the surrounding environment.
