Mono- and dinuclear (η-arene) ruthenium(II) benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes: Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxicity

چکیده
Anticancer drugs A series of monoand dinuclear (η-arene) ruthenium(II) complexes were prepared by reaction of thiosemicarbazone ligands derived from benzaldehyde and ruthenium(II) precursors of the general formula [Ru(η-arene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2, where arene=p-PrC6H4Me or C6H5C3H6COOH. These complexes were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, ESI-mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The molecular structure of the mononuclear p-cymene complex was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis, revealing a pseudotetrahedral piano stool conformation and a bidentate N,S coordination mode of the thiosemicarbazone ligand. The complexes and ligands were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against the WHCO1 oesophageal cancer cell line.

Macrocyclic heterobinuclear Zn(II)–Cu(II) complexes with phenol based dicompartmental ligands possessing contiguous hexa- and penta-coordination sites were prepared by a stepwise procedure. The ligands include similar N4O2 and dissimilar N(imine)3O2 and N(amine)3O2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms. The six-coordination site comprises two pyridyl pendant arms on the amine nit...

Water-soluble dinuclear Ru-arene complexes were synthesized and found to exert promising cytotoxic effects in human cancer cells, which could be increased to an IC50 of 0.29 μM by increasing the spacer length between the metal centers. Cytotoxicity could be correlated with lipophilicity (log P Values) and water solubility. The most potent dinuclear compound, 1,12bis{chlorido[3-(oxo-κO)-2-methyl...
