Abstract
In these studies, we designed and investigated cyto- and genotoxic potential of five ruthenium cyclopentadienyl complexes bearing different phosphine and phosphite ligands. All of the complexes were characterized with spectroscopic analysis (NMR, FT-IR, ESI-MS, UV-vis, fluorescence and XRD (for two compounds)). For biological studies, we used three types of cells - normal peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells, leukemic HL-60 cells and doxorubicin-resistance HL-60 cells (HL-60/DR). We compared the results obtained with those obtained for the complex with maleimide ligand CpRu(CO)2(η1-N-maleimidato) 1, which we had previously reported. We observed that the complexes CpRu(CO)(PPh3)(η1-N-maleimidato) 2a and CpRu(CO)(P(OEt)3)(η1-N-maleimidato) 3a were the most cytotoxic for HL-60 cells and non-cytotoxic for normal PBM cells. However, complex 1 was more cytotoxic for HL-60 cells than complexes 2a and 3a (IC50 = 6.39 μM vs. IC50 = 21.48 μM and IC50 = 12.25 μM, respectively). The complex CpRu(CO)(P(OPh)3)(η1-N-maleimidato) 3b is the most cytotoxic for HL-60/DR cells (IC50 = 104.35 μM). We found the genotoxic potential of complexes 2a and 3a only in HL-60 cells. These complexes also induced apoptosis in HL-60 cells. Docking studies showed that complexes 2a and CpRu(CO)(P(Fu)3)(η1-N-maleimidato) 2b have a small ability to degrade DNA, but they may cause a defect in DNA damage repair mechanisms leading to cell death. This hypothesis is corroborated with the results obtained in the plasmid relaxation assay in which ruthenium complexes bearing phosphine and phosphite ligands induce DNA breaks.

Abstract
Ru(II) complexes of amide-phosphine-based tridentate ligands additionally containing pyridine, isoquinoline, and quinoline rings have been synthesized, and their catalytic utility for the selective hydration of nitriles to amides is explored under the base-containing as well as base-free conditions. The chloride-ligated complexes 1-3 exhibited significant catalytic activity in the presence of a base, whereas hydride-ligated complexes 4-6 carried out the hydration of nitrile without the requirement of any base. The mechanistic studies revealed the involvement of [Ru-H] species as the active catalyst in the catalytic cycle. The [Ru-H] species assisted in the polarization of an incoming water molecule through [Ru-H···H-OH] dihydrogen bonding interaction and consequently aided in the attack of a positioned water molecule to a nitrile coordinated to a ruthenium center. Substrate binding studies and kinetic experiments further supported the mechanism. A wide variety of aromatic nitriles containing both electron-withdrawing and electron-releasing groups as well as other substrates including aliphatic nitriles, base-sensitive nitriles, and a few biologically relevant nitriles were employed for the selective hydration.

Abstract
![]()
The hexahydride OsH6(PiPr3)2 competently catalyzes the hydration
of aliphatic nitriles
to amides. The main metal species under the catalytic conditions are
the trihydride osmium(IV) amidate derivatives OsH3{κ2-N,O-[HNC(O)R]}(PiPr3)2, which have been isolated and fully characterized
for R = iPr and tBu. The rate of hydration is
proportional to the concentrations of the catalyst precursor, nitrile,
and water. When these experimental findings and density functional
theory calculations are combined, the mechanism of catalysis has been
established. Complexes OsH3{κ2-N,O-[HNC(O)R]}(PiPr3)2 dissociate the carbonyl group of the chelate to afford
κ1-N-amidate derivatives, which
coordinate the nitrile. The subsequent attack of an external water
molecule to both the C(sp) atom of the nitrile and the N atom of the
amidate affords the amide and regenerates the κ1-N-amidate catalysts. The attack is concerted and takes place
through a cyclic six-membered transition state, which involves Cnitrile···O–H···Namidate interactions. Before the attack, the free carbonyl
group of the κ1-N-amidate ligand
fixes the water molecule in the vicinity of the C(sp) atom of the
nitrile. The hexahydride complex OsH6(PiPr3)2 competently catalyzes the
hydration of aliphatic
nitriles to amides. Isolation of the main metal species under the
catalytic conditions, kinetics of hydration, and density functional
theory calculations support an alternative mechanism to those previously
reported.
