The 2-methylpyridine, 2-diethylaminoethyl, and isopentyl linked a series of symmetric and unsymmetric benzimidazolium salts 2a-e were prepared and used in the synthesis of silver-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes (3a-e). The Ru(II)-NHC complexes (4a-h) were synthesized via transmetalation reaction from 3a-e. 4a-h complexes were converted to Ru(II)-NHC.HCl complexes (5ah) by HCl solution of diethyl ether and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques such as H and C NMR, LC/MS-Q-TOF, FT-IR, elemental analysis, and melting point detection. We examined the effect of the structural difference of complexes on anticancer activity via different arenes and metal centers. Antiproliferative activity of 5a-h and 3a was tested against human cervix adenocarcinoma (HeLa) and rat glioblastoma (C6) cell lines by ELISA assay. The IC value of 5b, 5c and 5e complexes exhibited good cytotoxic activity than cisplatin on C6 (14.2 ± 0.5 mM; 16.2 ± 0.4 mM; 24.2 ± 0.7 mM, respectively) and HeLa (11.1 ± 0.5 mM; 13.7 ± 0.3 mM; 22.8 ± 0.8 mM, respectively) cell lines.

Objective And Significance: Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) plays a pivotal role in breast development by modulating tissue composition during the developmental phase. The TGFβ type II receptor (TGFβ RII) is implicated in breast cancer and represents a valuable therapeutic target. Due to the off-target side effects of many existing TGFβI/TGFβ RII inhibitors, a more targeted approach to drug discovery is necessary.

A panel of ferrocenyl-substituted curcumin derivatives has been designed and synthesized as protein tyrosine phosphatase proto-oncogene SHP-2 inhibitors. Antiproliferative activities of the synthesized compounds were tested against colorectal cancer cell lines (including RKO, SW480, and CT26). Compound showed excellent activities against the tested cell lines with IC values of 5.
