PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anti-cancer agent which is inexpensive because of no use of expensive noble metal, and has mechanisms of action different from conventional platinum formulations.SOLUTION: An anti-cancer agent contains as an active ingredient a metal complex represented by the general formula (1) in the figure. (In the formula, R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-C6 alkoxy group or an alkyl group or the like R2 represents a hydrogen atom, a C1-C6 alkoxy group or the like R3 to R10 represent hydrogen atoms or the like M represents iron, manganese or cobalt X represents a counter ion and n represents 1 or 2.)COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】高価な貴金属を使用せず安価でり、従来の白金製剤とは作用機序が異なる抗癌剤の提供。【解決手段】下記一般式(1)で表される金属錯体を有効成分として含有する抗癌剤。(式中、R1は水素原子、、C1~C6アルコキシ基またはアルキル基など、R2は水素原子、C1~C6アルコキシ基など、R3~R10は水素原子などを表わし、Mは鉄、マンガン又はコバルトの何れかを表す。Xは対イオンを表す、nは1又は2を表す。)【選択図】なし
