The selective cytotoxicity of silver thiosulfate, a silver complex, on MCF-7 breast cancer cells through ROS-induced cell death

CONCLUSION: The results obtained here are the first evidence to show that STS exhibited an anticancer activity through ROS-induced mechanisms, and that its cytotoxicity is highly selective to cancer cells. The results of the present study warrant further investigation on the detailed mechanism of STS actions, as well as its in vivo effectiveness and safety for clinical application.PMID:33864630 | DOI:10.1007/s43440-021-00260-0
