Anticancer activity of Ru- and Os(arene) compounds of a maleimide-functionalized bioactive pyridinecarbothioamide ligand.

TL;DR: In vitro cytotoxicity studies revealed low potency which is explained by the observed high reactivity of the maleimide to the thiol of l-cysteine (Cys), while the metal center itself shows little affinity to amino acids of the model protein lysozyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insights into the in vitro Anticancer Effects of Diruthenium-1

TL;DR: The results show that DiRu‐1 triggers caspase‐dependent apoptosis in MCF‐7 cells on both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, and the Ru complex also causes necrosis, mitotic catastrophe, and autophagy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binding mechanisms of half-sandwich Rh(III) and Ru(II) arene complexes on human serum albumin: a comparative study.

TL;DR: Fast, non-specific and high-affinity binding of the complexes on HSA highlights their coordinative interaction with various types of proteins possibly decreasing effective drug concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, structures, and DNA and protein binding of ruthenium(II)-p-cymene complexes of substituted pyridylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine: enhanced cytotoxicity of complexes of ligands appended with a carbazole moiety

TL;DR: A series of organometallic Ru(II)-arene complexes of the type [(η6-p-cymene)Ru(L)Cl]-BF4) 1-6, where L is 3-phenyl-1-pyridin-2-yl-imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine (L1), dimethyl-[4-(1-polygonal polycyclic acid)-dimethyl]-9H-carbazole (L4), diphenyl-[4]-4-( 1-polycyclic

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.

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.
