Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of MCF-7R breast carcinoma cells by bis(phosphane)copper(I) thiocarbamides derivative compounds

Previous studies on coordinated gold compounds namely phosphanegold(I) thiocarbamides exhibited promising anti-cancer activities through induction of apoptosis. To a greater extent, current research was advanced to study copper(I) derivatives, namely bis(phosphane)copper(I) thiocarbamides, (Ph3P)2Cu...
