摘要：

The antitumour activity of the organometallic ruthenium( II)-arene mixed phosphine complexes, [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl( PTA)( PPh3)]BF4 1b and [Ru(eta(6)-C6H5CH2CH2OH)Cl(PTA)(PPh3)]BF4 2b (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), have been evaluated in vitro and compared to their RAPTA analogues, [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)Cl-2(PTA)] 1a and [Ru(eta(6)-C6H5CH2CH2OH)Cl-2(PTA)] 2a. The results show that the addition of the PPh3 ligand to 2a increases the cytotoxicity towards the TS/A adenocarcinoma cancer cells, which correlates with increased uptake, but also increases cytotoxicity to non-tumourigenic HBL-100 cells, thus decreasing selectivity. The decrease in selectivity has been correlated to increased DNA interactions relative to proteins, demonstrated by reactivity of the compounds with a 14-mer oligonucleotide and the model proteins ubiquitin and cytochrome-c.
