AUTAC-Biguanide is a hybrid compound designed to target mitochondria inducing their degradation by mitophagy. This study unveils the potential of biguanides as cancer cell-targeting agents, emphasizing AUTAC-Biguanide's superior antiproliferative properties compared to metformin and its selectivity for cancer cells. The mechanism behind this heightened effect includes the ability of AUTAC-Biguanide to triggers mitophagy. By providing a comprehensive analysis of these findings, the study adds valuable insights to the field of mitochondrial-targeting anticancer agents.
