| Description | Journal: European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics Novel half-sandwich ruthenium(II) complexes with aminomethyl(diphenyl)phosphine derived from fluoroloquinolones (RuPCp, RuPSf, RuPLm, RuPNr) were being investigated as alternatives to well-established metal-based chemotherapeutics. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, selected spectroscopic methods (i.e., absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, ESI-MS, NMR, circular dichroizm), X-ray diffractometry, ICP-MS, and electrochemical techniques. To overcome low solubility, serious side effects connected with systemic cytotoxicity of ruthenium complexes, and acquiring the resistance of cancer cells, polymeric nanoformulations based on Pluronic P-123 micelles loaded with selected Ru(II) complexes were prepared and characterized. Resulting micelles (RuPCp_M, RuPNr_M) enabled efficient drug accumulation inside human lung adenocarcinoma (A549 tumor cell line), proved by confocal microscopy and ICP-MS analysis, allowing cytotoxic action. Studied complexes exhibited promising cytotoxicity in vitro with IC50 values significantly lower than the reference drug cisplatin. The fluorescence spectroscopic data (CT-DNA titration, cell staining in vitro) together with analysis of DNA fragmentation (pBR322 plasmid, comet assay) provided clear evidence for the interaction with DNA inducing apoptotic cell death. |
