Anti-tumoral polyoxomolybdates have been investigated in the course of study of the medical application of polyoxometalates as discrete cluster anions of metal oxides. [NH3Pi](6)[Mo7O24]center dot 3H(2)O (PM-8) has been recognized as one of significantly anti-tumoral polyoxomolybdates. PM-8 inhibited the cell growth of human pancreatic cells (AsPC-1) depending on the dose. DNA ladder formation and DNA fragmentation were observed by Hoechst and TUNEL staining and flowcytometry analysis. The ratio of apoptotic cells were 29%, 35%, and 57% with treatment of PM-8 after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively, which suggested that the anti-tumor activity of PM-8 results from the activation of the apoptotic pathway. Polyoxomolybdates provide promising, novel anti-tumor agent, especially for the treatment of cancers that are difficult to treat. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
