Novel metal(II) arene 2-pyridinecarbothioamides: a rationale to orally active organometallic anticancer agents

TL;DR: A novel series of organometallic antitumour agents based on RuII and OsII complexes containing N-substituted 2-pyridinecarbothioamides (PCAs) has been synthesized and characterized and revealed a similar drug-likeness compared to erlotinib, tamoxifen, imatinib and sorafenib.
Journal ArticleDOI

3-Hydroxyflavones vs. 3-hydroxyquinolinones: structure–activity relationships and stability studies on RuII(arene) anticancer complexes with biologically active ligands

TL;DR: To expand knowledge about the structure-activity relationships and to determine the impact of lipophilicity of the arene ligand and of the hydrolysis rate on anticancer activity, a series of novel 3-hydroxyflavone derived Ru(II)(η(6)-arene) complexes were synthesised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antitumor pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium complexes of maltol and allomaltol: synthesis, solution speciation and bioactivity.

TL;DR: The organometallic compounds showed similar cytotoxicity profiles and were proved to be moderately active against various human cancer cell lines and higher conditional stabilities were found in the case of the Rh(III) compounds at pH7.4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conjugation of organoruthenium(II) 3-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines and indolo[3,2-d]benzazepines to recombinant human serum albumin: a strategy to enhance cytotoxicity in cancer cells.

TL;DR: To improve their antiproliferative effects, as well as their drug targeting and delivery to cancer cells, 1c–5c were conjugated to recombinant human serum albumin, potentially exploiting the so-called “enhanced permeability and retention” effect that results in the accumulation of macromolecules in tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the structural determinants for anticancer activity of a ruthenium arene peptide conjugate.

TL;DR: A conjugate of a Ru(arene) complex with the neuropeptide [Leu(5)]-enkephalin shows antiproliferative activity in human ovarian carcinoma cells with an IC50 value as low as 13 μM, whereas the peptide or the Ru moiety alone are hardly cytotoxic.
