Ferrocenyl Quinone Methide-Thiol Adducts as New Antiproliferative Agents: Synthesis, Metabolic Formation from Ferrociphenols, and Oxidative Transformation.

TL;DR: To evaluate the reactivity of FC-QMs toward cellular nucleophiles, this work studied their reaction with selected thiols and synthesized and completely characterized the FC-SR adducts, which exhibit antiproliferative properties comparable to those of their FC precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of the Piperazine Unit and Metal-Binding Site Position on the Solubility and Anti-Proliferative Activity of Ruthenium(II)- and Osmium(II)- Arene Complexes of Isomeric Indolo[3,2-c]quinoline—Piperazine Hybrids

TL;DR: The results provide important insight into the structure–activity relationships of ruthenium- and osmium-arene complexes with indoloquinoline–piperazine hybrid ligands and can be further utilized for the design and development of more potent chemotherapeutic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of trimetallic Ru(II)- and Os(II)-Arene complexes as potential anticancer agents

TL;DR: Schiff-base ligands, tris-2-(salicylaldimine ethyl)amine and tris 2-(2-pyridylimine methyl)amine (1 and 2) were prepared and complexed to Ru(II) and Os(II), entities to form new trimetallic complexes (3-10) and have been characterized fully using elemental analysis, FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy as well as HR-ESI-TOF-MS spectrometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-assembled ruthenium (II) metallacycles and metallacages with imidazole-based ligands and their in vitro anticancer activity

TL;DR: Self-assembled compounds containing the 5,8-dioxido-1,4-naphtoquinonato scaffold exhibited enhanced anticancer activity on colon, breast, cervical, lung, and liver cancer cells, and decreased cytotoxicities in HEB and THLE-2 normal cells.

Inhibition of Cell Division in Escherichia coli by Electrolysis Products from a Platinum Electrode

TL;DR: In E. coli, the presence of certain group VIIIb transition metal compounds in concentrations of about 1–10 parts per million of the metal in the culture medium causes an inhibition of the cell division process, which implies that the growth process is not markedly affected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arene ruthenium(II) complexes formed by dehydrogenation of cyclohexadienes with ruthenium(III) trichloride

TL;DR: In this article, the same authors compared their results with available data on arene exchange in arenetricarbonylchromium complexes and discussed in terms of electronic and steric effects on metal-arene bonding.
Journal ArticleDOI

From bench to bedside – preclinical and early clinical development of the anticancer agent indazolium trans-[tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole)ruthenate(III)] (KP1019 or FFC14A)

TL;DR: The preclinical and early clinical development of KP1019 - from bench to bedside - is recapitulated and promising activity against certain types of tumors is observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Phase I and Pharmacological Study with Imidazolium-trans-DMSO-imidazole-tetrachlororuthenate, a Novel Ruthenium Anticancer Agent

TL;DR: The maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), profile of adverse events, and dose-limiting toxicity of NAMI-A in patients with solid tumors were determined and the ruthenium pharmacokinetic analysis revealed a linear relationship between dose and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of total and unbound rUThenium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metals in Medicine

TL;DR: In the fight against cancer cisplatin, one of the world's best selling anticancer drugs, is being joined by other platinum, titanium, and ruthenium complexes, and metal-targeted organic agents show exciting clinical potential.
