A Cyclometalated IrIII Complex Conjugated to a Coumarin Derivative Is a Potent Photodynamic Agent against Prostate Differentiated and Tumorigenic Cancer Stem Cells

The authors showed. using DU145 tumor cells, taken as the model of hormone‐refractory and aggressive prostate cancer cells resistant to conventional antineoplastic drugs, that the photoactivated 3 very efficiently eliminated both prostate bulk, differentiated and prostate, hardly treatable cancer stem cells simultaneously and with a similar efficiency.
