Abstract
Platinum complexes such as cisplatin and caboplatin are widely used in cancer chemotherapy. However, their clinical applications are substantially limited by unexpected toxic side effects. In this review, we discuss the current progress on the design and synthesis of estradiol-linked platinum complexes as the targeted antitumor drugs. Many of them display a high antitumor activity against the growth of breast cancer cell lines in vitro. The estradiol-linked platinum complexes could be used as target therapeutics for breast cancer.

Drugs and mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
