Promoting the Anticancer Activity with Multidentate Furan-2-Carboxamide Functionalized Aroyl Thiourea Chelation in Binuclear Half-Sandwich Ruthenium(II) Complexes.

A new set of binuclear arene ruthenium complexes [Ru(cymene)(k-NOS)(L1-L3)Cl] () encompassing furan-2-carboxamide-based aroylthiourea derivatives () was synthesized and characterized by various spectral and analytical techniques. Single-crystal XRD analysis unveils the N^O and N^S mixed monobasic bidentate coordination of the ligands constructing N, S, Cl/N, O, and Cl legged piano stool octahedral geometry. DFT analysis demonstrates the predilection for the formation of stable arene ruthenium complexes.

Phytochemical Screening, Molecular Docking, ADME Properties, and Antioxidant, Anticancer, and Antidiabetic Activity of Marine Halophyte (L.) Dumort.

Medicinally valuable components derived from natural resources are highly desirable as prospective alternatives to synthetic drugs to treat fatal diseases, such as cancer and diabetes mellitus. (L.) Dumort () () is a halophyte plant that can thrive in saline environments and possesses excellent medicinal properties.

Exploration of Antiproliferative Activity and Apoptosis Induction of New Nickel(II) Complexes Encompassing Carbazole Ligands.

To attest the effectiveness of nickel complexes as anticancer drug candidates with minimum side effects, the present investigation describes the facile synthesis and anticancer activities of nickel(II) complexes enriched with three derivatives of carbazolone-based benzhydrazone ligands(L) having a [Ni(L)] composition. Analytical and spectral techniques were used to characterize the synthesized Ni(II) complexes. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction performed for complex confirmed the square planar geometry with a [Ni(κ-N,O-L)] arrangement.

Investigation into antiproliferative activity and apoptosis mechanism of new arene Ru(ii) carbazole-based hydrazone complexes.

Ruthenium complexes with bioactive ligands are becoming promising substitutes for platinum complexes due to their precise action against various cancers. In the present study, the synthesis of three new arene Ru(ii) complexes containing new carbazole-based hydrazone ligands of general formula [(η6-benzene)Ru(L)Cl] (1-3; L = carbazolone benzhydrazone ligands), and their anticancer properties are described. The structural characterization of the ligands and their ruthenium complexes has been realized with the aid of elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis, NMR and HR-MS techniques.

Influence of carboxylic acid functionalities in ruthenium (II) polypyridyl complexes on DNA binding, cytotoxicity and antioxidant activity: synthesis, structure and in vitro anticancer activity.

Four new Ru(II) complexes [RuHCl(bpy)(PPh(3))(CO)] (1), [RuHCl(bpy)(AsPh(3))(CO)] (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), [RuCl(HL)(PPh(3))(2)(CO)] (3) and [RuCl(HL)(AsPh(3))(2)(CO)] (4) (HL = 2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) were synthesized and characterized. X-ray diffraction was used to characterize 3 in solid state. The interactions of these complexes with DNA were explored by different techniques which revealed that the complexes could bind to CT-DNA through non-intercalation.
