ABSTRACT

In this work we present the synthesis and characterization of six new ruthenium compounds with general formulae [Ru(L)(dppb)(bipy)]PF6 and [Ru(L)(dppe)2]PF6 where L = salicylic acid (Sal), 4-aminosalicylic acid (AmSal) or 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DiSal), dppb = 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane and bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, cyclic voltammetry, NMR, UV-vis and IR spectroscopies, and two by X-ray crystallography. The 31P{1H} NMR spectra of the complexes with the general formula [Ru(L)(dppe)2]PF6 showed that the phosphorus signals are solvent-dependent. Aprotic solvents, which form strong hydrogen bonds with the complexes, inhibit the free rotation of the salicylic acid-based, modifying the diphosphine cone angles, leading to distortion of the phosphorus signals in the NMR spectra. The cytotoxicity of the complexes was evaluated in MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, SKBR3 human breast tumor cells, and MCF-10 non-tumor cell lines. The complexes with the structural formula [Ru(L)(dppe)2]PF6 were the most cytotoxic, and the complex [Ru(AmSal)(dppe)2]PF6 with L = 4-aminosalicylic acid ligand was the most selective for the MDA-MB-231 cell line. This complex interacts with the transferrin and induces apoptosis through the intrinsic pathway, as demonstrated by increased levels of proteins involved in apoptotic cell death.
