Mechanism of cellular uptake of a ruthenium polypyridyl complex.
Transition metal complexes provide a promising avenue for the design of therapeutic and diagnostic agents, but the limited understanding of their cellular uptake is a roadblock to their effective application. Here, we examine the mechanism of cellular entry of a luminescent ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complex, Ru(DIP) 2dppz (2+) (where DIP = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline and dppz = dipyridophe...
متن کاملPhotoinduced ligand isomerisation in a pyrazine-containing ruthenium polypyridyl complex.
Photochemically-induced ligand rearrangements for the N2 and N4 coordination isomers of the complex [Ru(bpy)(2)(Hpztr)](2+) and its deprotonated analogue [Ru(bpy)(2)(pztr)](+), where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridyl and Hpztr is pyrazine-1,2,4-triazole ligand, are reported. (1)H NMR spectroscopic and HPLC studies indicate that in acetone and acetonitrile the complexes are photostable when the triazole rin...
متن کاملThiocyanate linkage isomerism in a ruthenium polypyridyl complex.
Ruthenium polypyridyl complexes have seen extensive use in solar energy applications. One of the most efficient dye-sensitized solar cells produced to date employs the dye-sensitizer N719, a ruthenium polypyridyl thiocyanate complex. Thiocyanate complexes are typically present as an inseparable mixture of N-bound and S-bound linkage isomers. Here we report the synthesis of a new complex, [Ru(te...
متن کاملRuthenium polypyridyl peptide conjugates: membrane permeable probes for cellular imaging.
Two novel polyarginine labelled ruthenium polypyridyl dyes are reported, one conjugated to five, (Ru-Ahx-R5), and one to eight arginine residues, (Ru-Ahx-R8); both complexes exhibit long-lived, intense, and oxygen-sensitive luminescence; (Ru-R8) is passively, efficiently and very rapidly transported across the cell membrane into the cytoplasm without requirement for its permeablisation.
متن کاملChiral Ruthenium(II) Polypyridyl Complexes: Stabilization of G-Quadruplex DNA, Inhibition of Telomerase Activity and Cellular Uptake
Two ruthenium(II) complexes, Λ-[Ru(phen)(2)(p-HPIP)](2+) and Δ-[Ru(phen)(2)(p-HPIP)](2+), were synthesized and characterized via proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. This study aims to clarify the anticancer effect of metal complexes as novel and potent telomerase inhibitors and cellular nucleus target dr...
