Ruthenium complexes have been recently reported as potential chemotherapeutic agents that offer tumor selectivity and low tumor resistance. This study investigates the photochemistry and the effect of four strained ...

The use of ruthenium complexes as chemotherapeutic agents has been recently explored as one of the alternatives to conventional treatments. In the present study, two Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes were synthesized and ...

A photochemically dissociating ligand in Ru(bpy)2(dmphen)Cl2 [bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine; dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline] was found to be more cytotoxic on the ML-2 Acute Myeloid Leukemia cell line than Ru(bpy)2(H2O)22+ ...
