الوصف: Cobalt(III) compounds with tetradentate ligands have been widely employed to deliver cytotoxic and imaging agents into cells. A large body of work has focused on using cobalt(III)–cyclam scaffolds for this purpose. Here, we investigate the cytotoxic properties of cobalt(III) complexes containing 14-membered macrocycles related to cyclam. A breast cancer stem cell (CSC) in vitro model was used to gauge efficacy. Specifically, [Co(1,4,7,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane)Cl2]+ (1) and [Co(1-oxa-4,8,12-triazacyclotetradecane)Cl2]+ (2) were synthesised and characterised, and their breast CSC activity was determined. The cobalt(III) complexes 1 and 2 displayed micromolar potency towards bulk breast cancer cells and breast CSCs grown in monolayers. Notably, 1 and 2 displayed selective potency towards breast CSCs over bulk breast cancer cells (up to 4.5-fold), which was similar to salinomycin (an established breast CSC-selective agent). The cobalt(III) complexes 1 and 2 were also able to inhibit mammosphere formation at low micromolar doses (with respect to size and number). The mammopshere inhibitory effect of 2 was similar to that of salinomycin. Our studies show that cobalt(III) complexes with 1,4,7,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane and 1-oxa-4,8,12-triazacyclotetradecane macrocycles could be useful starting points for the development of new cobalt-based delivery systems that can transport cytotoxic and imaging agents into breast CSCs.
