Selective Cytotoxic Ru(II) Arene Cp* Complex Salts [R-PhRuCp*]+X− for X = BF4−, PF6−, and BPh4−
摘要:
A novel series of ionic Ru(II) arene Cp* sandwich complexes has been synthesized and characterized. Screening results for cytotoxicity against a range of human tumor cell lines and normal human cells indicate that the complexes show promising anticancer activity, which varies with changes in the arene ligand and the anionic counterion.
