Background/Aim: Rhenium(I)-diselenoether (RediSe) is a promising anticancer agent composed of one rhenium and two selenium atoms. Its effectiveness was established in inhibiting cancer cells while maintaining low toxicity toward normal cells at a 5 mu M dose for 120 hours in MDA-MB-231 cells. In MDA-MB-231 breast tumor -bearing mice, anti -tumor and anti -metastatic effects were observed at a 10 mg/kg dose. However, contradictory results were observed in the 4T1 breast cancer model, where a dose of 60 mg/kg had a pro -tumor effect. To address these discrepancies, the efficacy of Re-diSe at the effective 10 mg/kg dose was validated in a transplanted MDAMB-231 breast tumor model using the chicken chorioallantoic membrane assay. Materials and Methods: MDA-MB-231 cancer cells were xenografted onto the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), and daily drug administration was carried out for nine days at doses of 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg. At the study's conclusion, a standard histological analysis was conducted. Results: The low dose of 0.1 mg/kg showed a significant reduction in tumor weights compared to controls. The 1 mg/kg dose resulted in an increased inflammation score but did not induce a significant difference in tumor weights compared to the 0.1 mg/kg dose. Notably, at the 10 mg/kg dose, six out of 11 treated embryos displayed no visible signs of tumors. These tumors exhibited extensive tumor necrosis and significant infiltration by inflammatory cells. Conclusion: In this particular model, the anticancer efficacy of Re-diSe was achieved at the low dose of 0.1 mg/kg. The higher dose of 10 mg/kg, while eliminating visible tumors, might have immune -mediated effects, as indicated by substantial tumor necrosis and infiltration by inflammatory cells. Overall, this study successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of Re-diSe as an anticancer agent.
