A new iron(iii) complex with 5,7-dichloro-2-methyl-8-quinolinol (HClMQ) as ligands, <i>i.e.</i>, [Fe(ClMQ)<sub>2</sub>Cl] (<b>1</b>), was synthesized and evaluated for its anticancer activity. Compared to the HClMQ ligand, complex <b>1</b> showed a higher cytotoxicity towards a series of tumor cell lines, including Hep-G2, BEL-7404, NCI-H460, A549, and T-24, with IC<sub>50</sub> values in the range of 5.04-14.35 μM. Notably, the Hep-G2 cell line was the most sensitive to complex <b>1</b>. Mechan ...[more]
