In the presence of trypanothione or glutathione at the clinically relevant pH of 4-5 for Leishmania amastigotes, both complexes undergo facile and rapid reduction, with no discernible difference. However, at a higher pH (6-7), the complexes behave quite differently towards glutathione. The Bi(V) complex is again reduced rapidly but the Sb(V) complex undergoes slow reduction over 8 h (t1/2 = 54 min.) These results give the first insights into why the highly oxidising Bi(V) complexes display low selectivity in their cytotoxicity towards
