Cover Story: Polyoxovanadates can interact with proteins, affecting their function and influencing many biochemical processes. Here, a mixed-valence pentadecavanadate, [Cl@VV7VIV8O36]6− (V15), inhibits Ca2+-ATPase activity, showing a mixed-type inhibition. V15 remains stable in enzymatic and cellular media for days. Electrostatic potential maps of V15 and other POMs were correlated with their enzyme inhibition activity. The breast cancer luminal MCF-7 and triple-negative MDA-MB-231 cell lines were vulnerable to V15. This POV reduced MDA-MB-231 cell migration and changed cell morphology from fusiform to epithelial-like shape, which is associated with less aggressive behavior. In the fight against breast cancer by V15, the mechanism of cell death in MDA-MB-231 may occur through necroptosis, which could trigger a better inflammatory response. View this paper
