Fighting Cancer with Transition Metal Complexes: From Naked DNA to Protein and Chromatin Targeting Strategies

TL;DR: This contribution aims at providing relevant information that may help in the rational design of novel drug‐discovery strategies and to demonstrate how the interplay between molecular simulations and experiments can make important contributions to elucidating the target preferences of some promising transition metal anticancer agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thiolato-bridged dinuclear arene ruthenium complexes and their potential as anticancer drugs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the discovery of thiolato-bridged dinuclear arene ruthenium complexes and highlight subsequent developments in the field, including their syntheses, structures, and the recent strategies for the design of Thiolatobridged Dinuclear Arene RUThenium Bioconjugates.

Investigation into antiproliferative activity and apoptosis mechanism of new arene Ru(II) carbazole-based hydrazone complexes

TL;DR: The synthesis of three new arene Ru(ii) complexes containing new carbazole-based hydrazone ligands of general formula, and their anticancer properties are described, shows the promising scope and potency of tailored arene ruthenium complexes for precise cancer chemotherapy beyond platinum drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions between proteins and Ru compounds of medicinal interest: A structural perspective

TL;DR: In this article, a review of relevant crystallographic studies focused on the characterization of the interaction between proteins and selected ruthenium compounds of medicinal interest is presented, where details of the interactions between Ru compounds and protein residues are described and the reactivity of the compounds towards different targets is compared with that observed analyzing analogous Pt-based drugs-protein adducts.

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.

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.
