Potential of Cycloaddition Reactions To Generate Cytotoxic Metal Drugs In Vitro

Paul Joseph Dyson, Sviatlana Siankevich, Benjamin Samuel Murray, Stéphanie Crot

Severe general toxicity issues blight many chemotherapeutics utilized in the treatment of cancers, resulting in the need for more selective drugs able to exert their biological activity at only the required location(s). Toward this aim, we report the devel ...

Ruthenium(II)-Arene RAPTA Type Complexes Containing Curcunnin and Bisdemethoxycurcumin Display Potent and Selective Anticancer Activity

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Tina Riedel

A series of novel ruthenium(II) arene RAPTA type derivatives (arene = cymene, hexamethylbenzene) containing curcumin-based ligands (curcH = curcumin, bdcurcH = bisdemethoxycurcumin) and PTA (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) have been synthesized and fully ...

Discovery of a Highly Tumor-Selective Organometallic Ruthenium(II)-Arene Complex

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Emilia Paunescu

A ruthenium(II)-arene complex with a perfluoroalkyl-ligand was found to display remarkable selectivity toward cancer cells. IC50 values on several cancer cell lines are in the range of 25-45 mu M, and no cytotoxic effect was observed on nontumorigenic (HEK ...

In vivo anti-tumor activity of the organometallic ruthenium(II)-arene complex [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)-Cl-2(pta)] (RAPTA-C) in human ovarian and colorectal carcinomas

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Maxime Dubois

Based on the clinical success of platinum-based anti-cancer drugs such as cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin, a variety of other metal-based anti-cancer compounds are being investigated. In particular, a number of ruthenium-based compounds have been id ...

Direct Carbon Dioxide Hydrogenation into Formic Acid in Acidic Media

Séverine Joëlle Moret

A major challenge in the face of increasing global energy demand is the development of alternative environmentally friendly and renewable energy resources. Hydrogen is an excellent energy carrier, but has drawbacks in storage density and is dangerous to ha ...

(Arene)ruthenium Complexes with Imidazolin-2-imine and Imidazolidin-2-imine Ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin

Imidazolin-2-imine and imidazolidin-2-imine ligands are versatile N donors in transition metal chemistry. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of (arene)Ru complexes with these ligands. Simple adducts of the type [(p-cymene)Ru(L)Cl-2] (L = ...

Direct synthesis of formic acid from carbon dioxide by hydrogenation in acidic media

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Séverine Joëlle Moret

The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide into useful products becomes increasingly important as CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise as a consequence of human activities. In this article we describe the direct hydrogenation of CO2 into formic ...

Dye adsorption on TiO2 electrodes studied using modulated photocurrent measurements

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

An in-situ modulated photocurrent technique to study kinetics of dye adsorption and to determine binding constants of dye molecules on the TiO 2 surface is presented. An AC-photocurrent signal is measured, when a TiO2 electrode is in contact with the dye b ...

Melt-infiltration of spiro-OMeTAD and thermal instability of solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin

A method for achieving complete pore-filling in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells termed meltinfiltration is presented: after the customary solution-processed deposition of spiro-OMeTAD, the device is heated above the glass transition temperature of s ...

Hydrogen Production by Selective Dehydrogenation of HCOOH Catalyzed by Ru-Biaryl Sulfonated Phosphines in Aqueous Solution

Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis

The selective dehydrogenation of aqueous solutions of HCOOH/HCOONa to H2 and CO2 gas mixtures has been investigated using RuCl3·3H2O as a homogeneous catalyst precursor in the presence of di␣erent monoaryl-biaryl or alkyl-biaryl phosphines and aryl diphosp ...
