Abstract
Flavonol‐metal complexes can enhance the biological activity of flavonols. Inspired by the potential of ruthenium‐based drugs in pharmaceutical applications, seven flavonol‐Ru (II) complexes were synthesized to evaluate their biological activities. Among these compounds, compounds 8, 11, and 12 showed potent antioxidant activities. Compound 12 exhibited superior anti‐inflammatory activity to natural quercetin, which served as a positive control. This study is the first to report the free radical scavenging abilities and antioxidant activity of flavonol‐Ru (II) complexes. Furthermore, compound 12 demonstrated comparable efficacy to 5‐FU against human non‐small‐cell lung cancer cells (A549). These results strongly support the potential of flavonol‐Ru (II) agents.
期刊介绍：
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
