摘要

Complexes (13) with nitrogen-based heterocyclic ligands were synthesized by reacting ruthenium precursor [Ru(η6-p-cymene)(μ-Cl)Cl]2 and ligands L1, L2 and L3. Upon reacting the complexes 13 with sodium azide, azido complexes 46 were obtained. These complexes as well as ligands were tested for anti-cancer activity where, ligand L2 was found to have lowest IC50 value with stable interaction of ROCK-1 protein suggesting one of the possible mechanisms for complex’s anti-cancer activity.

Graphical Abstract

Half-sandwich ruthenium complexes 13 were synthesized and upon further reaction with sodium azide (NaN3) in methanol yielded azido ruthenium complexes 46. All the ligands and complexes were studied for anticancer activity. Anticancer activity assessed in human lung cancer cell line (A549) revealed that ligand L2 has the highest anti-cancer activity amongst the others studied.
