Thirty Years of the Drug Candidate NAMI‐A and the Myths in the Field of Ruthenium Anticancer Compounds: A Personal Perspective
Open accessAbstract
As anticipated in the title, this contribution is basically divided into two, strictly connected, parts. The first is a personal overview of the ruthenium drug candidate NAMI‐A, almost 30 years after its synthesis and the discovery of its unprecedented antimetastatic properties in animal models at nontoxic dosages. The sections relating to the chemical and biological behavior of the complex, and the hypotheses on its mechanism(s) of action, are kept to a minimum, whereas more space is devoted to discussion of the results of the clinical investigations. The second part deals in detail with a number of undemonstrated misconceptions (or myths) that, over the years, have thrived around NAMI‐A and other ruthenium drug candidates, thus negatively affecting the whole field of Ru anticancer drugs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
