Description

Ferrocenecarboxylic acid is a ferrocene compound that has been used as a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) probe. It has been shown to have an antiproliferative effect on leukemia cells, and can be used in the treatment of cancers. Ferrocenecarboxylic acid is membrane permeable and can therefore be used as a cell-impermeable chemotherapeutic agent. This drug also has the ability to bind to target DNA, with this binding being dependent on the functional groups present on the molecule. The ferrocene carboxylate conjugates are also able to react with nucleophiles such as dithiopyridine or pyridinium salts, which may serve as strategies for converting the drug into an MRI contrast agent.
