09/01/2019 - "The results show that Metvan impaired cell viability of both cancer cell lines in a low concentration range (0.25-5.0 μM)."
07/18/2017 - "The first report on the anti-cancer activity of the compound Metvan, [VIVO(Me2phen)2(SO4)], where Me2phen is 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, dates back to 2001. "
12/01/2002 - "Therapeutic plasma concentrations > or = 5 microM, which are highly cytotoxic against human cancer cells, can be rapidly achieved and maintained in mice for at least 24 h after intraperitoneal bolus injection of a single 10 mg/kg non-toxic dose of metvan. "
07/01/2001 - "Similarly, the MDA-MB-231 tumors in SCID mice treated with METVAN were much smaller 40 days after tumor cell inoculation than those of the vehicle-treated control SCID mice (174 +/- 29 mm(3) versus 487 +/- 82 mm(3); P = 0.002). "
07/01/2001 - "At 40 days after the inoculation of tumor cells, the U87 tumor xenografts in the vehicle-treated control SCID mice were much larger than those of the mice treated with METVAN (4560 +/- 654 mm(3) versus 1688 +/- 571 mm(3); P = 0.003). "

12/01/2002 - "Metvan exhibits significant antitumour activity, delays tumour progression and prolongs survival time in severe combined immunodeficient mouse xenograft models of human malignant glioblastoma and breast cancer. "
07/01/2001 - "METVAN was slowly eliminated with an apparent plasma t(1/2) of 17.5 h and systemic clearance of 42.1 ml/h/kg. In accordance with its potent in vitro activity and favorable in vivo pharmacokinetics, METVAN exhibited significant antitumor activity and delayed tumor progression in CB.17 severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mouse xenograft models of human glioblastoma and breast cancer. "
12/01/2002 - "At nanomolar and low micromolar concentrations, metvan induces apoptosis in human leukaemia cells, multiple myeloma cells and solid tumour cells derived from breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian, prostate and testicular cancer patients. "
12/01/2002 - "Treatment of leukaemia cells from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia and chronic acute myeloid leukaemia patients with metvan inhibits the constitutive expression as well as the gelatinolytic activities of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and -2. Treatment of human malignant glioblastoma and breast cancer cells with metvan at concentrations > 1 microM is associated with a nearly complete loss of the adhesive, migratory and invasive properties of the treated cancer cell populations. "

07/01/2001 - "At this dose level, the maximum plasma METVAN concentration was 37.0 microM, which was achieved with a t(max) of 21.4 min. Plasma samples (diluted 1:16) from METVAN-treated mice killed 85% of human breast cancer cells in vitro. "

12/01/2002 - "At nanomolar and low micromolar concentrations, metvan induces apoptosis in human leukaemia cells, multiple myeloma cells and solid tumour cells derived from breast cancer, glioblastoma, ovarian, prostate and testicular cancer patients. "
04/01/2001 - "We have examined the in vitro anticancer activity of METVAN [bis(4,7-dimethyl-1,10 phenanthroline) sulfatooxovanadium(IV); VO(SO(4))(Me(2)-Phen)(2)] against acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; NALM-6 and MOLT-3), acute myeloid leukemia (AML; HL-60), Hodgkin's disease (HS445), and multiple myeloma (ARH-77, U266BL, and HS-SULTAN) cell lines as well as primary leukemic cells from patients with ALL, AML, and chronic acute myeloid leukemia (CML).
