Ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes: Synthesis, characterization and anticancer activity studies on BEL-7402 cells

Six new ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes were synthesized and characterized in detail. The anticancer activity was investigated by cytotoxicity in vitro, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential, cell cycle arrest, cell invasion, autophagy and proteins expression.83
