Book excerpt: This book will describe Ruthenium complexes as chemotherapeutic agent specifically at tumor site. It has been the most challenging task in the area of cancer therapy. Nanoparticles are now emerging as the most effective alternative to traditional chemotherapeutic approach. Nanoparticles have been shown to be useful in this respect. However, in view of organ system complicacies, instead of using nanoparticles as a delivery tool, it will be more appropriate to synthesize a drug of nanoparticle size that can use blood transport mechanism to reach the tumor site and regress cancer. Due to less toxicity and effective bio-distribution, ruthenium (Ru) complexes are of much current interest. Additionally, lumiscent Ru-complexes can be synthesized in nanoparticle size and can be directly traced at tissue level. The book will contain the synthesis, characterization, and applications of various Ruthenium complexes as chemotherapeutic agents. The book will also cover the introduction to chemotherapy, classification of Ru- complexes with respect to their oxidation states and geometry, Ruthenium complexes of nano size: shape and binding- selectivity, binding of ruthenium complexes with DNA, DNA cleavage studies and cytotoxicity. The present book will be more beneficial to researchers, scientists and biomedical. Current book will empower specially to younger generation to create a new world of ruthenium chemistry in material science as well as in medicines. This book will be also beneficial to national/international research laboratories, and academia with interest in the area of coordination chemistry more especially to the Ruthenium compounds and its applications.

Download or read book Syntheses Characterization and Preliminary Evaluation of Potential Ruthenium Anticancer Complexes Containing Schiff Base Ligands written by Stephen Mensah and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Platinum-based drugs have over the years been administered in the treatment of tumours.Unfortunately, platinum resistance and the severe side effects associated with the treatments has necessitated the research for new anti-cancer drugs. Ruthenium(II) and Ruthenium(III) complexes have shown promise as useful alternative anticancer agents. The lead candidates include the Ru(II) complex RAPTA-C, a ruthenium(II)-arene complex [Ru(Îʺ6-p-cymene)Cl2(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane)] and the Ru(III) complex NAMI-A [imidazoleH][trans-Ru(imidazole) (dimethyl sulfoxide)Cl4]. Both compounds have shown potent cytotoxic activity in several primary human tumor models. Unfortunately, NAMI-A could not advance in clinical evaluations due to limited efficacy in vivo, while the clinical evaluation of RAPTA-C is unknown. Therefore, there is a need for novel cancer therapeutics that have high biological activity, are relatively easy to synthesize, and can readily be modified. This work focuses on the use of 2-acetylpyridine and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde for the synthesis, characterization, and preliminary evaluation of derivatives of both the RAPTA-C and NAMI-A anticancer complexes containing Schiff base ligands. Here, the results of the synthesis of these compounds and their subsequent characterization using 1H NMR, MS, fluorescence and UV-Vis spectroscopies are presented.

Book Synthesis and Characterization of Cyclometalated Ruthenium  II  Complexes and Assessment of Their Potential as Pharmaceuticals

Download or read book Synthesis and Characterization of Cyclometalated Ruthenium II Complexes and Assessment of Their Potential as Pharmaceuticals written by Leslie Ann Morales and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyclometalated Ruthenium (II) and RAPTA species were synthesized, characterized and evaluated on their photophysical properties and potential as anti-cancer agents. The binding affinity to yeast RNA of one of the newly synthesized compounds containing a thiophene group (LM5400) was compared to its literature precursor (Compound B) containing a phenyl group under gel electrophoresis. Results indicated that the bands of compounds; Compound A, LM3000, Compound B and LM5400 when incubated with yeast RNA, were similar to the control with the expectation of the band of LM5400 being more faint relative to the rest whenever samples were incubated for 24hrs. Photophysical experiments on cyclometalated ruthenium (II) compounds (CompoundA, LM3000, Compound B, LM5400) indicated that these compounds have an absorbance around 360 nm respectively but do not fluoresce due to extremely low emission values. Four hydrolysis studies were done on the cyclometalated ruthenium (II) species under various conditions and monitored via UV/Vis and H-NMR. Underall conditions, the absorbance and the NMR data the complexes with the j6-benzene ring (Compound A and LM3000) changed under aqueous and chloride solutions. In contrast, the absorbance of the complexes with the j6-cymene rings (Compound B and LM5400) only changed upon increased concentration. All compounds synthesized were characterized by NMR. Crystal structures were obtained for newly synthesized compounds, LM3000 and LM5400.

Book Ruthenium II  Polypyridyl Complexes as Potential Anticancer Drugs

Download or read book Ruthenium II Polypyridyl Complexes as Potential Anticancer Drugs written by Yanling Chen and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on biological activities of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes (RPCs) continues to attract interest as these complexes have shown promising anticancer activity both in vitro and in vivo.1−3 The mononuclear RPC, [(phen)2Ru(tatpp)]2+ (MP) and related dinuclear complex [(phen)2Ru(tatpp)Ru(phen)2]4+ (P) have been shown to both intercalate with DNA and shown potentiated DNA cleavage under anaerobic and reducing conditions4−5, as well as shown good selectivity and cytotoxicity towards malignant cell lines in vitro and tumors in vivo.5 Both complexes contain the redox-active tatpp ligand which is thought to be an essential component for the observed biological activities. This thesis is focused on developing improvements to the stereoselective syntheses of the chiral complexes, [delta][delta]-P and [delta]-MP. It is also investigated the synthesis of a new analogue [(phen)2Ru(tadbp)]2+ (B) and its chiral form [delta]-B which contains a modified tatpp ligand that is only capable of binding one Ru ion. Moreover this thesis explores the ability of these large complexes to traverse the cell membranes and get into cells and cell nuclei by isolating treated cells and nuclei and determining their ruthenium content by graphite furnace atomic absorption method (GFAAS). The GFAAS data show that the two examined complexes [delta][delta]-P and [delta]-MP are able to quickly penetrate into cancer cells (H-358) and concentrate in nuclei, which is postulated due to their high binding affinity to DNA.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled IRON AND RUTHENIUM COMPLEXES WITH NITROGEN AND OXYGEN DONOR LIGANDS FOR ANTI-CANCER AND ANTI-VIRAL STUDIES Submitted by Ella Lai-Ming Wong For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in February 2006 Development of drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy has stimulated the search for new anti-cancer drugs. Due to the versatile oxidation states and diverse coordination chemistry, iron and ruthenium compounds are potential candidates for new anti-cancer agents and metallopharmaceuticals. In this study, iron(II) complexes containing polypyridines as auxiliary ligand and ruthenium-oxo oxalato cluster were synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, and their anti-cancer and anti-viral properties were examined. The iron(II) complexes, [Fe(R-qpy)(CH CN) ](ClO ) [qpy = 3 2 4 2 2,2′ 6′,2″ 6″,2′″ 6′″,2″″-quinquepyridine, R = H (1a) and Ph (1b)] and [Fe(Py -OH)(CH CN)](ClO ) (2) [Py-OH = 5 3 4 2 5 2,6-bis[hydroxybis(2-pyridyl)methyl]pyridine] were stable in physiological buffers and exhibited significant cytotoxicities against some established human cancer cell lines. According to the MTT assay, their IC values were 0.1 - 70 50 M; they exhibited more pronounced cytotoxicities against hepatocellular carcinoma cells than against other type of cancer cells. Flow cytometry studies revealed that 1a could cause cell cycle arrest of HeLa cells at the S-phase, which involved DNA synthesis. Complex 1a was found to catalyze epoxidation, aziridination and amidation of hydrocarbons with good substrate conversions and high product yields. The iron(IV)-oxo and -imido reactive intermediates were generated in situ and their formulations were verified by mass spectroscopy. By Evan''s method, the result supported the iron(IV) formulation with a low-spin d electronic configuration (S = 1). A ruthenium-oxo oxalato cluster formulated as Na [Ru ( -O) (C O ) ] (3) 7 4 3 4 2 4 6 was prepared. Structural studies and magnetic measurements revealed that the ruthenium atoms adopted the oxidation states of +III, +III, +III and +IV. Complex 3 showed anti-HIV properties on infected cells. Using the HIV-1(BaL) virus infected Hut/CCR5 cells, 3 was found to exhibit >90% inhibition on viral replication at 5 M concentration. Similar findings were obtained with other HIV-infected cell lines including GHOST/CXCR4 and PBMCs. Complex 3 was non-cytotoxic to these cells even at 50 M concentration. Relevant to anti-HIV activity, 3 was found to inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity in vitro with IC = 2 nM. 50 III A series of ruthenium complexes, cis-[Ru (Me -tet)Cl ]ClO [Me -tet = 6 2 4 6 N, N, N′, N′-tetramethyl-3,6-dimethyl-3,6-diazaoctane-1,8-diamine], III III trans-[Ru (pyz) Cl]Cl (pyz = pyrazole), trans-[Ru (3Mepyz) Cl ]Cl 4 2 4 2 II III [3Mepyz = 3-methylpyrazole], [Ru (3Mepyz) ]Cl, [Ru (salen)(H O) ]Y 6 2 2 2 [H-salen = N, N''-bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine, Y = Cl and PF ], 2 6 III cis-[Ru (cyclen)Cl]Cl [cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane], 2III trans-[Ru (BiIml) Cl]Y [BiIml = biimidazole, Y = Cl and PF], and 2 2 6 II cis-[Ru (BiIml) (DMSO) ](ClO ) were examined for anti-cancer activities. 2 2 4 2 Their IC values were 4 - 100 M and their cytotoxicities could be affected by 50 the auxiliary ligands.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of this thesis was synthesis and preliminary characterization of novel ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes bearing biologically active molecules as potential theranostic agents. Luminescence for the diagnostic applications, and cytotoxicity for the anticancer, therapeutic applications are considered as the theranostic properties. Four new ligands containing biologically active moieties - 5-(4-4'-methyl-[2,2'-bipyridine]-4-ylbut-1-yn-1-yl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde semicarbazone (L1), 3-(5-4'-methyl-[2,2'-bipyridine]-4-ylpentyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione (L2), 5,5-dimethyl-3-(5-4'-methyl-[2,2'-bipyridine]-4-ylpentyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione (L3) and [1-(5-4'-methyl-[2,2'-bipyridine]-4-ylpentyl)-2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl]urea (L4) were synthesized and characterized. The ligands were used to obtain nine novel ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes. Six complexes were synthesized with ligand L1 ([Ru(bpy)2(L1)]2+, [Ru(Mebpy)2(L1)]2+, [Ru(tBubpy)2(L1)]2+, [Ru(Phbpy)2(L1)]2+, [Ru(dip)2(L1)]2+, [Ru(SO3dip)2(L1)]2-) and three with ligands L2, L3 and L4 ([Ru(bpy)2(L2)]2+, [Ru(bpy)2(L3)]2+, [Ru(bpy)2(L4)]2+) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, Mebpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridine, tBubpy = 4,4'-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine, Phbpy = 4,4'-diphenyl-2,2-bipyridine, dip = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenantroline and SO3dip = 4,7-di-(4-sulfonatophenyl)-1,10-phenantroline). The spectroscopic and photophysical properties of those complexes were determined. The presence of ligands L1-L4 in the structure of the complex decreased luminescence quantum yield and luminescence lifetime in comparison with unmodified [Ru(bpy)3]2+ complex. The theoretical calculations have shown that ligands L1-L4 do not have influence on ruthenium core geometry. However, they increased the energy of the HOMO that resulted in a shorter band gap. The simulated electronic absorption spectra were in a good agreement with the experimental data. The interactions between the studied ruthenium complexes and human serum albumin (HSA) were investigated. All studied Ru(II) complexes exhibited strong affinity to HSA with the association constant 105 M-1s-1, which suggests formation of Ru complex-HSA adducts. It was also determined that ruthenium complexes most likely bind to the hydrophobic pocket of protein, located in Sudlow's site I in the subdomain II A. Preliminary cytotoxicity evaluation for the studied ruthenium complexes showed their cytotoxic activity towards cancer cell lines. Those results, together with good luminescence properties of the studied ruthenium complexes (luminescence lifetimes and luminescence quantum yield) make them interesting candidates for potential theranostic applications.
