Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complex–Cationic Peptide Hybrids Trigger Paraptosis in Cancer Cells via an Intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> Overload from the Endoplasmic Reticulum and a Decrease in Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

In our previous paper, we reported that amphiphilic Ir complex–peptide hybrids (IPHs) containing basic peptides such as KK(K)GG (K: lysine, G: glycine) (e.g., ASb-2) exhibited potent anticancer activity against Jurkat cells, with the dead cells showing a strong green emission. Our initial mechanisti...
