New [(η-CH)Ru(N-N)(PPh)][PF] compounds: colon anticancer activity and GLUT-mediated cellular uptake of carbohydrate-appended complexes

Eight ruthenium( ii ) compounds of the general formula [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Ru(N-N)(PPh 3 )][PF 6 ] were rationally designed, exhibiting high cytotoxicity against HCT116 human colon cancer cells, with IC 50 between 14.56 and 1.56 μM; importantly, compounds 5Ru and 6Ru are the first reported ruthenium gly...

Zusammenfassung:Eight ruthenium( ii ) compounds of the general formula [(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )Ru(N-N)(PPh 3 )][PF 6 ] were rationally designed, exhibiting high cytotoxicity against HCT116 human colon cancer cells, with IC 50 between 14.56 and 1.56 μM; importantly, compounds 5Ru and 6Ru are the first reported ruthenium glycoconjugates exploiting glucose transporters, widely overexpressed in cancer, for cellular uptake. Ruthenium glycoconjugates, with privileged passage through HCT116 colon cancer cell membranes via glucose transporters, are reported.
