Article Abstract
With the aim to develop more efficient, less toxic, target specific metal drugs and evaluate their anticancer properties in terms of oxidation state and co-ligand sphere, a sequence of Ru(II), Ru(III) complexes bearing 4-hydroxy-pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and PPh(3)/AsPh(3) were synthesized and structurally characterized. Biological studies such as DNA binding, antioxidant assays and cytotoxic activity were carried out and their anticancer activities were evaluated. Interactions of the complexes with calf thymus DNA revealed that the triphenylphosphine complexes could bind more strongly than the triphenylarsine complexes. The free radical scavenging ability, assessed by a series of in vitro antioxidant assays involving DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide radical, superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide and metal chelating assay, showed that the Ru(III) complexes possess excellent radical scavenging properties compared to those of Ru(II). Cytotoxicity studies using three cancer lines viz HeLa, HepG2, HEp-2 and a normal cell line NIH 3T3 showed that Ru(II) complexes exhibited substantial cytotoxic specificity towards cancer cells. Furthermore, the Ru(II) complexes were found to be superior to Ru(III) complexes in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

Our novel binuclear complex-anchored Ru(III) catalyst, designed and assembled by sonicating 2,2'-(4,6-dihydroxy-1,3-phenylene)bis(1-benzo[]imidazole-4-carboxylic acid), Ru(DMSO)Cl and 4-methylpyridine, demonstrates remarkable efficiency and selectivity. It promotes one-pot reactions, including active methylenes and benzyl alcohols in water, via a tandem aerobic oxidation/Knoevenagel condensation process, yielding benzylidene malononitrile in excellent yields. The catalyst's ability to oxidize benzyl alcohols to aldehydes, which then undergo Knoevenagel condensation with active methylenes, makes it a multifunctional catalyst.

The development and characterization of anticancer complex drugs (ACD), specifically Amyloid Beta Peptide (ABP) - Ruthenium III (Ru III) - nivolumab (NB), were explored through analytical techniques. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy demonstrated the structural transformation of peptides from α-helical to β-sheet formations, aligning with amyloid fibril aggregation. Ruthenium (III) complex synthesis was confirmed through distinct absorption peaks in FTIR analysis.

An unusual cascade C-H activation, vinylation and 6π-electrocyclization of 2-pyridyl aldimines with vinyl bromides/triflates was achieved using catalysis with a unique CCC pincer NHC-Ru(iii) complex (Cat B). This reaction was found to enable a rapid and diverse synthesis of polycyclic 4-pyrido[1,2-]pyrimidine derivatives in mostly good to high yields, and with a broad substrate scope. A mechanistic study suggested the formation of a semi-opened Ru(iii) intermediate chelating/activating the aldimine, and the occurrence of single-electron transfer (SET) to generate a vinyl radical, followed by vinylation and then an intramolecular 6π-electrocyclization of 1,3-hexatrene to form the product.
