| Abstract | Light-activated ruthenium polypyridyl anticancer prodrugs often suffer from poor water solubility, poor selectivity, and/or ill-defined intracellular targets. Coordination of the d- or l-glucose thioether ligand 3 (2-(2-(2-(methylthio)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl-β-glucopyranoside) to the highly lipophilic ruthenium complex $[Ru(tpy)(dppn)(H_{2}O)]^{2+}$ $([1]^{2+};$ dppn=benzo[i]dipyrido-[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine, tpy=2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine) solved all these problems at once. The two enantiomers of $[Ru(tpy)(dppn)(3)][PF_{6}]_{2},$ $[d-2][PF_{6}]_{2}$ and $[l-2][PF_{6}]_{2},$ were soluble in water, which allowed the influence of the chirality of the glucose moiety on uptake, toxicity, and intracellular localization of the prodrug to be probed without changing any other physicochemical properties. Both compounds showed mild, but different, cytotoxicity in A549 (human lung carcinoma) and MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) cancer cells in the dark, whereas following low doses of visible light irradiation $(3.1 J cm^{−2}$ at λ = 454 nm), a similar, but high cytotoxicity $(EC_{50}$ < 1 μm), was observed. Irrespective of the chirality, both slightly emissive Ru complexes were found in the mitochondria, and two modes of action may contribute to light-induced cell death: 1) the glucose thioether ligand is photosubstituted by water, thus $[1]^{2+},$ which interacts with DNA at an exceptionally high 400:1 base pair/Ru ratio, is released; 2) both $[1]^{2+}$ and $[2]^{2+}$ produce massive amounts of singlet oxygen, which leads to very efficient photodynamic DNA cleavage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
