Dinuclear Organoruthenium Complexes Exhibiting Antiproliferative Activity through DNA Damage and a Reactive-Oxygen-Species-Mediated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Pathway
indicated that complexes 1–4 induce cell death through DNA interaction and a reactive-oxygen-species-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway, which is the first example of an organometallic ruthenium(II) arene complex to induce ER stress as well as DNA interaction. This kind of dinuclearruthenium(II) arene complex has unique biological characteristics and is a promising model for new anticancer
