Abstract |
Three new compounds have been synthesized and completely characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. The new bipyridine-perfluorinated ligand L1 and the new organometallic complex [Ru(h5-MeCp)(PPh3)2Cl] (Ru1) crystalize in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P1. Analysis of the phenotypic effects induced by both organometallic complexes Ru1 and [Ru(h5-MeCp)(PPh3)(L1)][CF3SO3] (Ru2), on human colorectal cancer cells (SW480 and RKO) survival, showed that Ru2 has a potent anti-proliferative activity, 4e6 times higher than cisplatin, and induce apoptosis in these cells. Data obtained in a noncancerous cell line derived from normal colon epithelial cells (NCM460) revealed an intrinsic selectivity of Ru2 for malignant cells at low concentrations, showing the high potential of this compound as a selective anticancer agent. |
