Four new ruthenium(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized.
Cytotoxicity of complexes toward HepG-2, HeLa, MG-63, A549, BEL-7402 was studied.
The apoptosis, comet assay, cellular uptake, ROS, cell cycle arrest were studied.
The expression of Bcl-2 family proteins was assayed by western blot analysis.
The protein-binding of the complexes with BSA was investigated.
