Description: NAMI-A is a ruthenium anticancer agent and a metastasis inhibitor. NAMI is an acronym for "New Anti-tumour Metastasis Inhibitor", while the -A suffix indicates that this is the first of a potential series. NAMI-A is a potent agent for the treatment of solid tumor metastases as well as when these tumor lesions are in an advanced stage of growth. NAMI-A is endowed with a mechanism of action unrelated to direct tumor cell cytotoxicity, and such mechanism of action is responsible for a reduced host toxicity. NAMI-A and KP-1019 are two ruthenium anticancer agents that have entered clinical trials. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAMI-A).
