Apoptosisinducer 26 (compound [AgCl(dap2SH)(PPh3)2]) is a mononuclear Ag(I) ligand-based autophagy inducer that exhibits antibacterial and anticancer activities against various bacterial strains and cancer cell lines. This compound facilitates the accumulation of Ag(I) ions in the periphery of bacteria, effectively inhibiting the growth of both Gram-positive (+) and Gram-negative (-) bacteria. Additionally, Apoptosisinducer 26 can intercalate between the base pairs of CT DNA, inducing apoptosis in A549 cells. It also possesses radical scavenging properties, which helps prevent oxidative stress.
