Apoptosis in BEL-7402 cells induced by ruthenium(II) complexes through a ROS-mediated mitochondrial pathway
Three Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes [Ru(dmb)2(HMSPIP)](ClO4)2 (1), [Ru(phen)2(HMSPIP)](ClO4)2 (2) and [Ru(dmp)2(HMSPIP)](ClO4)2 (3) were synthesized and characterized. The cytotoxicity in vitro, apoptosis, cell cy...

Synthesis, biological activities studies of ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes
Four ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS and 1H NMR. The in vitro cytotoxicities of the complexes against BEL-7402, HeLa, A549, HepG2 and MG-63...
