Abstract
Current clinical therapies for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have limited therapeutic efficacy and induce significant systemic side effects, leading to poor patient compliance. To address this challenge, this investigation focuses on the design of LINC02535 + miR-30a-5p for treating breast cancer. In vitro cytotoxicity studies confirmed that LINC02535 + miR-30a-5p was more effective in 4 T1 cells, with reduced toxicity in NIH3T3 cells. Further verification of cellular morphology was achieved through various biochemical staining methods. Additionally, the antimetastatic attributes of LINC02535 + miR-30a-5p have been evaluated using both migration scratch and Transwell migration assays, which have collectively revealed excellent antimetastatic potential. The DNA fragmentation of the 4 T1 cells was assessed using a comet assay. LINC02535 + miR-30a-5p improved ROS levels and caused mitochondrial membrane potential alterations and DNA damage, which resulted in apoptosis. Therefore, we propose that LINC02535 + miR-30a-5p could be an alternative therapeutic strategy for breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
Nanocomposites selectively induce cancer cell death, holding potential for precise liver cancer treatment breakthroughs. This study assessed the cytotoxicity of gold nanocomposites (Au NCs) enclosed within silk fibroin (SF), aptamer (Ap), and the myogenic Talaromyces purpureogenus (TP) against a human liver cancer cell (HepG2). The ultimate product, Ap-SF-TP@Au NCs, results from a three-step process. This process involves the myogenic synthesis of TP@Au NCs derived from TP mycelial extract, encapsulation of SF on TP@Au NCs (SF-TP@Au NCs), and the conjugation of Ap within SF-TP@Au NCs. The synthesized NCs are analyzed by various characteristic techniques. Ap-SF-TP@Au NCs induced potential cell death in HepG2 cells but exhibited no cytotoxicity in non-cancerous cells (NIH3T3). The morphological changes in cells were examined through various biochemical staining methods. Thus, Ap-SF-TP@Au NCs emerge as a promising nanocomposite for treating diverse cancer cells.

Abstract
Research into cancer therapeutics has uncovered various potential medications based on metal-containing scaffolds after the discovery and clinical applications of cisplatin as an anti-cancer agent. This has resulted in many metallodrugs that can be put into medical applications. These metallodrugs have a wider variety of functions and mechanisms of action than pure organic molecules. Although platinum-based medicines are very efficient anti-cancer agents, they are often accompanied by significant side effects and toxicity and are limited by resistance. Some of the most studied and developed alternatives to platinum-based anti-cancer medications include metallodrugs based on ruthenium, gold, copper, iridium, and osmium, which showed effectiveness against many cancer cell lines. These metal-based medicines represent an exciting new category of potential cancer treatments and sparked a renewed interest in the search for effective anti-cancer therapies. Despite the widespread development of metal complexes touted as powerful and promising in vitro anti-cancer therapeutics, only a small percentage of these compounds have shown their worth in vivo models. Metallodrugs, which are more effective and less toxic than platinum-based drugs and can treat drug-resistant cancer cells, are the focus of this review. Here, we highlighted some of the most recently developed Pt, Ru, Au, Cu, Ir, and Os complexes that have shown significant in vivo antitumor properties between 2017 and 2023.

Abstract
Despite the enormous efforts made over the past two decades to develop metallodrugs and nanocarriers for metallodrug delivery, there are still few precise strategies that aim to optimize the design of both metallodrugs and metallodrug carriers jointly in a concerted effort. In this work, three half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes with pyridylimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine ligand functionalized with polycyclic aromatic moiety (Ru(nap), Ru(ant), Ru(pyr)) are evaluated as possible anticancer candidates and polydiacetylene (PDA)-coated amino-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (AMSNs) are designed as a functional nanocarrier for drug delivery. Ru(pyr) exhibits higher cytotoxicity in HT-29 colorectal cancer cells compared to other complexes and cis-platin, but it does not exhibit better cellular uptake. Ru(pyr) is found to be preferentially accumulated in plasma, mitochondria, and ER-Golgi membrane. The complex induces cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase, while higher concentrations cause programmed cell death via apoptosis. Ru(pyr) influences cancer cell adhesion property and acts as an antioxidant in HT-29 cells. In order to modulate the anticancer potency of Ru(pyr), AMSNs are used to encapsulate the complex, and then diacetylene self-assembly is allowed to deposit on the surface of the nanoparticles. Subsequently, the nanoparticles undergo topopolymerization, which results in π-conjugated PDA-Ru(pyr)@AMSNs. Owing to the ene-yne polymeric skeleton in the backbone, the non-fluorescent AMSNs turn into red-emissive particles, which are exploited for cell imaging applications. The release profile analysis reveals that such a π-conjugated polymer prevents the premature release of the complex from porous silica nanoparticles with the accelerated release of the complex in an acidic medium compared to physiological conditions. The PDA gatekeepers have also been proven to enhance the cellular internalization of Ru(pyr) with slow continuous release from the nanoformulation. Zebrafish embryo toxicity analysis suggests that the PDA-coated nanocarriers could be suitable candidates for in vivo investigations.

Abstract
Multiple chemodrugs with nanotechnology have proven to be an effective cancer treatment technique. When taken combined, cabazitaxel (CTX) and cisplatin (PT) have more excellent cytotoxic effects than drugs used alone in the chemotherapy of several different cancers. However, several severe side effects are associated with using these chemotherapy drugs in cancer patients. Gold nanomaterials (AuNMs) are promising as drug carriers because of their small diameter, easy surface modifications, good biocompatibility, and strong cell penetration. This work aimed to determine the CTX and PT encapsulated with AuNMs against human glioma U87 cancer cells. The fabrication of the AuNMs achieved a negative surface charge, polydispersity index, and the mean sizes. The combined cytotoxic effect of CTX and PT bound to AuNMs was greater than that of either drug alone when tested on U87 cells. The half inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for free PT were 54.7 μg/mL (at 24 h) and 4.8 g μg/mL (at 72 h). Results acquired from the MTT assay show cell growth decreases time- and concentration-dependent AuNMs, free CTX, free PT, and AuNMs@CTX/PT-induced cytotoxicity and, ultimately, the cell death of U87 cells via apoptosis. The biochemical apoptosis staining techniques investigated the cells' morphological changes of the cells (acridine orange and ethidium bromide (AO-EB) and nuclear staining (DAPI) techniques). The AO-EB and nuclear staining results reveal that the NPs effectively killed cancer cells. Furthermore, the flow cytometry analysis examined the mode of cell death. Therefore, AuNMs@CTX/PT has excellent potential in the cancer therapy of different cancer cells.

Abstract
Background: Quinoline and acyl thiourea scaffolds have major chemical significance in medicinal chemistry. Quinoline-based acyl thiourea derivatives may potentially target the urease enzyme. Materials & methods: Quinoline-based acyl thiourea derivatives 1-26 were synthesized and tested for urease inhibitory activity. Results: 19 derivatives (1-19) showed enhanced urease enzyme inhibitory potential (IC50 = 1.19-18.92 μM) compared with standard thiourea (IC50 = 19.53 ± 0.032 μM), whereas compounds 20-26 were inactive. Compounds with OCH3, OC2H5, Br and CH3 on the aryl ring showed significantly greater inhibitory potential than compounds with hydrocarbon chains of varying length. Molecular docking studies were conducted to investigate ligand interactions with the enzyme's active site. Conclusion: The identified hits can serve as potential leads against the drug target urease in advanced studies.

Abstract
To develop innovative drug delivery carriers for controllable release and cancer-targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to accomplish efficient cancer chemotherapy. Herein we effectively fabricated CaCO3 primarily loaded biotin (BT) and directly the self-assembly of oxaliplatin (Pt (IV)) prodrugs form in liposomes. The acquired BT-Pt (IV)@PEG/CaCO3 with outstanding biological stability displays rapid pH-mediated degradations, thus allowing the effective pH-responsive delivery of BT. In vitro, anticancer assays proved that BT-Pt (IV)@PEG/CaCO3 effectively kills the thyroid cancer cells (B-CPAP and FTC-133). The biochemical staining assays investigated the morphological changes of thyroid cancer after treatment with nanoparticles. The DNA fragmentation of the cells was assessed by utilizing the comet assay. BT-Pt (IV)@PEG/CaCO3 increased ROS levels and caused mitochondrial membrane potential and DNA damage, which resulted in apoptosis. Due to its versatile drug-loading capability, this research demonstrates that CaCO3 liposomal formulation is a biocompatible and reliable substrate for establishing pH-mediated drug delivery methods and promising for possible therapeutic application.

Abstract
Different concentrations of calcium titanate (CaTiO3) nanoparticles were loaded into the Silk fibroin (SF) solution to construct porous SF@CaTiO3 hybrid scaffolds, which were shown to have enhanced properties for stimulating peripheral nerve regeneration. Surface charges, crystallization intensity, wettability, porosity, and morphology were measured and analyzed. We analyzed the hybrid porous SF@CaTiO3 scaffolds that affected the expansion of Schwann cells. The results demonstrated a concentration-dependent influence on the dispersion of nanoparticles in the CaTiO3 hybridized SF scaffolds. Incorporating CaTiO3-NPs into the porous SF@CaTiO3 hybrid scaffolds can boost hydrophobicity while decreasing surface charge density and porosity. The hybridized scaffolds mostly had an orthorhombic calcium titanate crystal structure with amorphous Silk fibroin mixed. Schwann cell cultures revealed that SF@CaTiO3 hybrid scaffolds containing an optimal CaTiO3-NPs concentration could stimulate the proliferation, attachment, and protection of Schwann cell biological functions, suggesting the scaffolds' potential for use in peripheral nerve regeneration.

Abstract
This work uses rice husk to fabricate mesoporous silica nanoparticles (D-RMN) for breast cancer therapy. The biocompatible dual-responsive (DAN-RMN) was developed by polymerizing acrylic acid (AA) and n-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) on the DV-RMN surface monomeric ratio to increase drug delivery efficiency after vinyl groups were added to the surface of nanoparticles (DAN-RMN). Various analytical and spectroscopical methods characterized the fabricated nanoparticles. Additionally, further encapsulation with SN-38 into the DAN-RMN enhances anticancer efficiency. The in-vitro controlled SN-38 release displayed remarkable temperature and pH response. The MTT assay established the biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of natural sources of silica and DAN-RMN. The fabricated SN-38@DAN-RMN nanoparticles effectively killed the MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cancerous cells, confirmed by the MTT assay. The IC50 values of SN-38@DAN-RMN in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 for 1.8 μg/mL and 1.7 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, acridine orange-ethidium bromide (AO-EB) dual staining methods were used to determine morphological changes of cell shrinkage and fragmentation. Nuclear staining methods confirmed the nuclear fragmentation and condensation of the cells. Further, the cell death was examined using dual staining Annexin V-FITC/PI in flow cytometric analyses to assess apoptosis in the MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cell lines. The apoptotic cell ratio of SN-38@DAN-RMN in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 for 27.8 and 32.8, respectively. Since there is no drug leakage in the blood while the carrier is in circulation, the DAN-RMN nanocarrier may be used for targeted and stimuli-responsive administration using ultrasound imaging.

Abstract
We set out to design and synthesize bipodal ligands with the phenyl group as the spacer and varied the substitution on the spacer between ortho (L1), meta (L2), and para (L3). The respective ligands and complexes containing either p-cymene (PL1-PL3) or benzene (BL1-BL3) as the arene unit were synthesized and characterized successfully. The influence of the ligands due to substitution change on their coordination behavior was quite minimal; however, the differences were seen in the anticancer activity of the complexes. DFT studies revealed the structural variations between the three different substitutions, which was further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The anticancer activity of the complexes could be correlated with their rate of hydrolysis and their lipophilicity index as determined by UV-visible spectroscopy. The cell death mechanism of the active complexes was deduced to be apoptotic via staining assays, flow cytometry, and Western blot analysis.

Abstract
Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN), sodium hyaluronate (SH), silk fibroin (SS), and oxidized sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (O-CMC) hybrids were used to develop an intelligent drug delivery platform that may be employed for pH and redox-responsive bi-drug administration. The first drug, cytarabine (Cyt), was loaded with amino-functionalized mesoporous silica (MSN-NH2) encased by the hydrogel of cystamine (Cys) and SH cross-linked by amide bonds. Hydrophobic doxorubicin (DOX) was co-loaded with Cyt/MSN-NH2/SA in the hydrogel of SS and O-CMC in the Cyt- loaded hydrogel. Dual-responsive drug delivery may be achieved by encapsulating SS and O-CMC in a hydrogel, including Cyt/MSN-NH2/SA/DOX/SS/O-CMC, which has acyl hydrazone bonds (-HC = N) and disulfide bond (-S-S-) exchange reaction with glutathione (GSH). Compared to hydrogels encapsulating only one drug (Cyt or DOX), cell survival analysis revealed that the newly fabricated hydrogels have significantly greater chemotherapeutic efficacy. The cell proliferation of the fabricated nanoparticles was examined in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells, which indicates that the nanoparticles effectively kill the cancer cells without affecting non-cancerous cells. Further, we effectively investigated the morphological changes, and various biochemical staining methods examined nuclear fragmentation/condensation. Furthermore, the biosafety of the nanoparticles was investigated by the in vivo animal model, which reveals that they remarkably enhanced the safety profile in various organs. These outcomes demonstrated that this nanoparticle platform was a promising beneficial agent for improving breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
The reaction of the Ru(PPh3 )3 Cl2 with HL1-3 -OH (-OH stands for the oxime hydroxyl group; HL1 -OH=diacetylmonoxime-S-benzyldithiocarbazonate; HL2 -OH=diacetylmonoxime-S-(4-methyl)benzyldithiocarbazonate; and HL3 -OH=diacetylmonoxime-S-(4-chloro)benzyl-dithiocarbazonate) gives three new ruthenium complexes [RuII (L1-3 -H)(PPh3 )2 Cl] (1-3) (-H stands for imine hydrogen) coordinated with dithiocarbazate imine as the final products. All ruthenium(II) complexes (1-3) have been characterized by elemental (CHNS) analyses, IR, UV-vis, NMR (1 H, 13 C, and 31 P) spectroscopy, HR-ESI-MS spectrometry and also, the structure of 1-2 was further confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The solution/aqueous stability, hydrophobicity, DNA interactions, and cell viability studies of 1-3 against HeLa, HT-29, and NIH-3T3 cell lines were performed. Cell viability results suggested 3 being the most cytotoxic of the series with IC50 6.9±0.2 μM against HeLa cells. Further, an apoptotic mechanism of cell death was confirmed by cell cycle analysis and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining techniques. In this regard, the live cell confocal microscopy results revealed that compounds primarily target the mitochondria against HeLa, and HT-29 cell lines. Moreover, these ruthenium complexes elevate the ROS level by inducing mitochondria targeting apoptotic cell death.

Research Progress on the Biological Activities of Metal Complexes Bearing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrazones. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27238393.

Abstract
Due to the abundant and promising biological activities of aromatic hydrazones, it is of great significance to study the biological activities of their metal complexes for the research and development of metal-based drugs. In this review, we focus on the metal complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrazones, which still do not receive much attention, and summarize the studies related to their biological activities. Although the large number of metal complexes in phenylhydrazone prevent them all from being summarized, the significant value of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons themselves (such as naphthalene and anthracene) as pharmacophores are also considered. Therefore, the bioactivities of the metal complexes of naphthylhydrazone and anthrahydrazone are focused on, and the recent research progress on the metal complexes of anthrahydrazone by the authors is also included. In terms of biological activities, these complexes mainly show antibacterial and anticancer activities, along with less bioactivities. The present review demonstrates that the structural design and bioactivities of these complexes are fundamental, which also indicates a certain structure-activity relationship (SAR) in some substructural areas. However, a systematic and comprehensive conclusion of the SAR is still not available, which suggests that more attention should be paid to the bioactivities of the metal complexes of polycyclic aromatic hydrazones since their potential in structural design and biological activity remains to be explored. We hope that this review will attract more researchers to devote their interest and energy into this promising area.

Abstract
Amphiphilic copolymers have long been utilized to turn hydrophobic anticancer drugs into nanoparticles administered to patients with cancer. A lack of stability in these monotherapies may be blamed for their poor clinical results in patients with cancer. We propose novel nanotherapies based on polymeric small prodrugs that preserve pharmacologic effectiveness while significantly reducing the toxicity of the fabricated drugs in animals to overcome this problem. Doxorubicin is attached to the end of the PLA fragments through a hydrolyzable ester bond utilizing methoxypolyethylene glycol-block-poly(d, l-lactic acid) (mPEG-PCL(2K)) with conjugates to mimic the self-assembly of colloidal nanotherapies. In a gastric cancer xenograft model, this nanotherapy displays a long-lasting suppression of tumor growth once a reasonable dosage is administered. Our findings imply that a toxic chemical and hydrophobic can be converted into therapeutic effective self-delivery nanotreatment.

Abstract
Cancer targeted nanomaterials-based drug delivery systems have been described as promising. In this work, we employed silk fibroin (SF), ruthenium nanomaterials (RuNMs), heptapeptide (T7), and fingolimod (FTY720) to construct a pH-responsive smart nanomaterials drug delivery system. They were spherical with a mean size of around 120 nm, which may have contributed to the improved penetration and retention of the NMs in tumour areas. T7-FTY720@SF-RuNMs had an encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 72.51 ± 4.02%. When the pH of an environment is acidic, the release of FTY720 from nanocarriers is enhanced. T7-FTY720@SF-RuNMs demonstrated increased cellular uptake selective and anticancer efficacy for hepatocellular cancer in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Additionally, the in vivo biodistribution investigation showed that T7-FTY720@SF-RuNMs could efficiently aggregate in the tumour location, improving their in vivo potential to kill cancer cells. T7-FTY720@SF-RuNMs demonstrated little toxicity to tumour-bearing animals in investigations of histology and immunohistochemistry, showing that the fabricated NMs are biocompatible in vivo. For the treatment of hepatocellular cancer, the T7-FTY720@SF-RuNMs delivery method offers significant promise.

Abstract
Nanomedicine has developed as a potential technique for successful cancer therapy. A simple supramolecular self-assembly process is a helpful strategy for generating carrier-free nanodrugs. Mixing photodynamic treatment with chemotherapy has been sought to obtain a high therapeutic impact. In this study, we effectively construct a nanocarrier (CD-Por-PEG: Ada-CPT-Pt(IV)) combined with Carboplatin prodrug (Ada-CPT-Pt(IV)) and photosensitizer porphyrin (CD-Por-PEG) by host-guest interactions to accomplish stimuli-response combination treatment. Supported by greater spatial control of the binding ratio among host-guest molecules, Carboplatin and porphyrin were independently altered with β-cyclodextrin and adamantane to produce the amphiphilic host-guest combination for sequential self-assembly into therapeutic nanoparticles. The colloidal stability of the produced CD-Por-PEG: Ada-CPT-Pt(IV)-NPs was excellent, with an average hydrodynamic diameter of ∼170 nm. The microscopy images showed that CD-Por-PEG: Ada-CPT-Pt(IV) could aggregate cells and generate ROS after light irradiation (630 nm). Monotherapy had a cytotoxicity three times greater than the CD-Por-PEG: Ada-CPT-Pt(IV) nanoparticles. Studies in mice carrying SUNE1 nasopharyngeal tumours showed that nanoparticles effectively suppressed tumour development without causing systemic damage in this examination. The current self-assembly nanosystem makes precise control over the photosensitizer and drug loading possible ratio. It reduces the systemic adverse toxicity issues of drugs carrier, making this system ideal for nasopharyngeal cancer treatment.

Abstract
AIM In this investigation, Zinc-silicon carbide (Zn-SiC) materials were fabricated by a simple approach by using Zn nanoparticles (Zn-NPs) loaded on silicon carbide (SiC) with enhanced antibacterial and healing activity. METHODS Zn-NPs loaded on SiC fabricated by the DIY laser melting technique. The TEM and Zeta-sizer confirmed the morphology and size of the nanoparticles. The characterization was done using Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Further, the fabricated nanoparticles were evaluated for their mechanical properties and biocompatibility under storage conditions. In-vivo wound healing was measured by observing a percentage reduction in the wound. RESULTS Zn-SiC NPs have 54.6 ± 5.25 nm mean particle size, -15.9 ± 2.35 mV zeta potential with 0.187 ± 0.05 polydispersity index (PD1). The nanoparticles showed good biocompatibility and in-vivo wound healing properties. CONCLUSIONS These results strongly support the possibility of using these Zn particles loaded on SiC NPs as a promising wound healing agent after cesarean section.

Abstract
Two novel phosphine ligands, Ph2PCH2N(CH2CH3)3 (1) and Ph2PCH2N(CH2CH2CH2CH3)2 (2), and six new metal (Cu(I), Ir(III) and Ru(II)) complexes with those ligands: iridium(III) complexes: Ir(η5-Cp*)Cl2(1) (1a), Ir(η5-Cp*)Cl2(2) (2a) (Cp*: Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl); ruthenium(II) complexes: Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(1) (1b), Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2(2) (2b) and copper(I) complexes: [Cu(CH3CN)2(1)BF4] (1c), [Cu(CH3CN)2(2)BF4] (2c) were synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and ESI-MS spectrometry. Copper(I) complexes turned out to be highly unstable in the presence of atmospheric oxygen in contrast to ruthenium(II) and iridium(III) complexes. The studied Ru(II) and Ir(III) complexes exhibited promising cytotoxicity towards cancer cells in vitro with IC50 values significantly lower than that of the reference drug—cisplatin. Confocal microscopy analysis showed that Ru(II) and Ir(III) complexes effectively accumulate inside A549 cells with localization in cytoplasm and nuclei. A precise cytometric analysis provided clear evidence for the predominance of apoptosis in induced cell death. Furthermore, the complexes presumably induce the changes in the cell cycle leading to G2/M phase arrest in a dose-dependent manner. Gel electrophoresis experiments revealed that Ru(II) and Ir(III) inorganic compounds showed their unusual low genotoxicity towards plasmid DNA. Additionally, metal complexes were able to generate reactive oxygen species as a result of redox processes, proved by gel electrophoresis and cyclic voltamperometry. In vitro cytotoxicity assays were also carried out within multicellular tumor spheroids and efficient anticancer action on these 3D assemblies was demonstrated. It was proven that the hydrocarbon chain elongation of the phosphine ligand coordinated to the metal ions does not influence the cytotoxic effect of resulting complexes in contrast to metal ions type.

Synthesis, cytotoxicity and docking studies (with SARS-CoV-2) of water-soluble binuclear Ru- p-cymene complex holding indole thiosemicarbazone ligand. INORG CHEM COMMUN 2021; 134:109029. [PMID: 34729032 PMCID: PMC8552700 DOI: 10.1016/j.inoche.2021.109029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
A water-soluble binuclear organometallic Ru-p-cymene complex [Ru(η6-p-cymene)(η2-L)]2 (1) was prepared from (E)-2-((1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-N-phenylhydrazine-1-carbothioamide (HL) and [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 in methanol at room temperature under inert atmosphere. The structure of binuclear complex was analyzed by UV-Visible, FT-IR, NMR and mass spectroscopic methods. The solid-state structure of the complex was ascertained by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The complex exhibited pseudo-octahedral (piano-stool) geometry around Ru(II) ion. The cytotoxic property of the ligand and complex along with cisplatin was investigated against A549-lung, MCF-7-breast, HeLa-cervical, HepG-2-liver, T24-urinary bladder and EA.hy926-endothelial cancer cells, and Vero-kidney epithelial normal cells. The complex exhibited superior activity than cisplatin against A549, HeLa and T24 cancer cells with the IC50 values of 7.70, 11.2, and 5.05 µM, respectively. The complexes were cytotoxic specifically to the cancer cells. Molecular docking studies showed good binding potential of the ligand and complex with the spike protein and main protease of SARS-CoV-2, indicating the promising role of these compounds as antiviral compounds.
