摘要
The first examples of Ru(II) eta 6-arene (benzene and p-cymene) complexes containing a bidentate triazolylidene-triazolide ligand have been prepared and fully characterized. Their antiproliferative effect has been investigated against tumour cells A2780 (ovarian carcinoma), HCT116 (colorectal carcinoma), and HCT116dox (colorectal carcinoma resistant to doxorubicin), and in human dermal fibroblasts. The Ru complex bearing the p-cymene arene group exhibited a stronger antiproliferative effect across all tested cell lines, while the benzene-containing complex displayed higher selectivity toward tumor cells. Both complexes induced apoptosis, likely through ROS production (in the benzene complex), and inhibited tumorigenic processes, including cell migration and angiogenesis. In zebrafish models, they showed strong selectivity for cancer cells with minimal toxicity to healthy cells, effectively reducing the proliferation of HCT116 colorectal cancer cells. This study provides the first in vivo evidence of the anticancer potential of Ru triazolylidenes in zebrafish models.
