We report the breast cancer stem cell (CSC) potency of two nickel(II)‐3,4,7,8‐tetramethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline complexes, 1 and 3, containing the non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), naproxen and indomethacin, respectively. The nickel(II) complexes, 1 and 3 kill breast CSCs and bulk breast cancer cells in the micromolar range. Notably, 1 and 3 display comparable or better potency towards breast CSCs than salinomycin, an established CSC‐active agent. The complexes, 1 and 3 also display significantly lower toxicity towards non‐cancerous epithelial breast cells than breast CSCs or bulk breast cancer cells (up to 4.6‐fold). Mechanistic studies suggest that 1 and 3 downregulate cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) in breast CSCs and kill breast CSCs in a COX‐2 dependent manner. Furthermore, the potency of 1 and 3 towards breast CSCs decreased upon co‐treatment with necroptosis inhibitors (necrostatin‐1 and dabrafenib), implying that 1 and 3 induce necroptosis, an ordered form of necrosis, in breast CSCs. As apoptosis resistance is a hallmark of CSCs, compounds like 1 and 3, which potentially provide access to alternative (non‐apoptotic) cell death pathways could hold the key to overcoming hard‐to‐kill CSCs. To the best of our knowledge, 1 and 3 are the first compounds to be associated to COX‐2 inhibition and necroptosis induction in CSCs. Kill switch: NiII‐polypyridyl complexes bearing non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs are shown to potently kill breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) via a cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2)‐dependent pathway and in a manner that is curtailed by necroptosis inhibitors. As COX‐2 overexpression and apoptosis dysfunction are inherent to breast CSCs, the compounds presented here could help in the fight against hard‐to‐kill breast CSCs.
