Abstract
A series of Ruthenium-Quinolinol complexes (3a–d &4a–d) has been synthesized by employing a simple, efficient and environmental friendly condition. Catalytic role of Amberlite IRA-120(H) has been demonstrated. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by the analysis of spectroscopic data. The stability of these complexes was measured by UV spectroscopy & time dependent NMR spectroscopy. These newly developed complexes were represented as potential anticancer agent against human breast carcinoma cell line (MCF-7), human Epitheloid Cervix Carcinoma (HeLa), human lung adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line (A549) and human colon cancer cell line (Caco-2). Most of the ruthenium complexes showed higher anticancer activity in MCF-7, HeLa and Caco-2 cell lines than cisplatin. A high selectivity (9–28 folds) was observed with these newly developed organoruthenium compounds in human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HeLa and Caco-2) with respect to normal fibroblast cell line (MRC-5). Complex [(η6-hexamethylbenzene)RuCl(κ2-O,N-5-chloro-HyQ)]·Cl (4b), [(η6-hexamethylbenzene)RuCl(κ2-O,N-5,7-dibromo-HyQ)]·Cl (4c) and [(η6-hexamethylbenzene)RuCl(κ2-O,N-5-chloro-7-iodo-HyQ)]·Cl (4d) exhibited best cytotoxicity profiles in three reported human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, HeLa, Caco-2). Cellular imaging study was also performed with these newly developed organoruthenium compounds. Compound 4c might be utilized for cancer theranostic agents because of its significant quantum yield in water, high potency, selectivity and high cellular uptake in cancer cell lines.
