Ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) 1,2,3-triazolylidene organometallics: a preliminary investigation into the biological activity of 'click' carbene complexes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel, Kelly Joan Kilpin, Stéphanie Crot

Taking advantage of the facile and versatile synthetic properties of 'click' 1,2,3-triazolylidene N-heterocyclic carbenes (tzNHC's), a range of new organometallic Ru(II) and Os(II) arene complexes containing functionalised tzNHC ligands, [M(eta(6)-p-cymene ...

Ruthenium(II) arene PTA (RAPTA) complexes: impact of enantiomerically pure arene ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Kelly Joan Kilpin, Shona Cammack

Organometallic ruthenium(II) arene complexes containing the PTA ligand ([Ru(eta(6)-arene)Cl-2(PTA)], PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo-[3.3.1.1] decane, termed RAPTA) show pharmacologically relevant antitumour properties in vitro. Two new enantiomeric p ...

Enzyme inhibition by metal complexes: concepts, strategies and applications

Paul Joseph Dyson, Kelly Joan Kilpin

Metal complexes are increasingly being used to inhibit enzymes. The reasons for this increased interest arise from the special features that metal complexes offer, e.g. the facile construction of 3D architectures that tightly fill enzyme active sites incre ...

Naphthalimide-tagged ruthenium-arene anticancer complexes: combining coordination with intercalation

Paul Joseph Dyson, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Fabio Edafe, Kelly Joan Kilpin

Ruthenium(II) arene compounds have been modified with the naphthalimide group, tethered via the arene ligand, i.e. {dichloroeta(6)-N-(phenylalkyl)(4-dimethylamino)-1,8-naphthalimideruthenium(II)} (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, propyl, pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7- ...
