Key-Points<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe solid compound based on phosphomolybdate cluster, an inorganic salt of phosphomolybdic acid, belongs to the Polyoxometalates (POMs) family, which had earlier been identified to have antitumor potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team of scientists led by Dr. Monika Singh and Dr. Deepika Sharma has chalked out the mechanism by which the compound kills the cancer cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The research has been published in the journal Dalton Transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
POMs are an evolving class of inorganic metal oxides, which over the last decades, established promising biological activities by the virtue of their great diversity in structures and properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In order to probe into the mechanism of how the cancer cells are attacked by the compound, the team synthesised it by hydrothermal method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past few decades, POMs have evolved as a promising candidate for future metallodrugs for combating cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The compound synthesized by the INST team could open new avenues for antitumor applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Scientists from the Institute of Nano Science & Technology (INST), Mohali, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology Government of India, have synthesized a novel inorganic-organic hybrid compound that can inhibit breast, lung, and liver cancer cells, opening up new possibilities for metallodrugs.
