Cover Story: Novel metal complexes derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline Schiff bases were synthesized to explore their potential as anticancer agents. The study included three oxidovanadium(IV) complexes and two complexes with nickel(II) and iron(III). Structural analyses revealed a distorted square–pyramidal geometry for the V-complexes and an octahedral geometry for the Ni-complex. Cytotoxicity tests against melanoma and colon cancer cell lines showed that the V- and Ni-complexes had IC50 values below 10 μM, suggesting promising anticancer activity. Combination studies with 5-fluorouracil revealed an additive effect in A375 cells treated with the V-complex. These findings highlight the potential of these metal complexes, especially the vanadium-based ones, as candidates for further development in cancer therapy. View this paper
