Abstract

Background: This work presents the synthesis of Ru(II)NHC complexes bearing a series of 4-fluorobenzyl group. These complexes have been characterized by a variety of spectroscopic methods (1H NMR, 13C NMR, and FTIR) and by elemental analysis techniques.

Methods: These complexes' antitumor activities against SH-SY5Y (human neuroblastoma) and HCT116 (human colon cancer) were investigated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-biphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.

Results: The results showed that all the synthesized complexes exhibited significant cytotoxic effect with low IC50 values 15 ± 0.57, 15.26 ± 0.71, 7.64 ± 0.30, 27.66 ± 0.36 and 14.45 ± 0.84 (μg/mL) respectively.

Conclusion: Furthermore, apoptosis assessed by double labeling with Annexin V-FITC/PI indicated that complexes 1b and 1d can effectively induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation at the S phase in SH-SY5Y cells. Taken together, Ru(II)NHC complexes containing the 4- fluorobenzyl group have significant potential for the development of novel, highly effective anticancer agents.

期刊介绍： Aims & Scope Medicinal Chemistry a peer-reviewed journal, aims to cover all the latest outstanding developments in medicinal chemistry and rational drug design. The journal publishes original research, mini-review articles and guest edited thematic issues covering recent research and developments in the field. Articles are published rapidly by taking full advantage of Internet technology for both the submission and peer review of manuscripts. Medicinal Chemistry is an essential journal for all involved in drug design and discovery.
