Organometallic Glutathione S-Transferase Inhibitors

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Emilia Paunescu, Mylène Soudani

A new family of organometallic p-cymene ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) complexes conjugated to ethacrynic acid, a glutathione transferase (GST) inhibitor, is reported. The ethacrynic acid moiety (either one or two) is tethered to the arene ruthenium(II) and ...

Varying the metal to ethacrynic acid ratio in ruthenium(ii)/osmium(ii)-p-cymene conjugates

Paul Joseph Dyson, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Mylène Soudani, Emilia Paunescu

Following the identification of a ruthenium(II)-arene complex with an ethacrynic acid-modified imidazole ligand, which inhibits glutathione transferase (GST) and is cytotoxic to chemo-resistant cancer cells, a series of structurally related ruthenium(II)- ...

Influence of the Linker Length on the Cytotoxicity of Homobinuclear Ruthenium(II) and Gold(I) Complexes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Emilia Paunescu, Mylène Soudani, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

Dinudear metal complexes have emerged as a promising class of anticancer compounds with the ability to cross-link biomolecular targets. Here, we describe two novel series of phosphine-linked dinudear ruthenium(II) p-cyrnene and gold(I) complexes, in which ...

Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory-Organometallic Anticancer Compounds

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Emilia Paunescu, Mylène Soudani, Sarah Mcarthur

Compounds that combine metal-based drugs with covalently linked targeted organic agents have been shown, in some instances, to exhibit superior anticancer properties compared to the individual counterparts. Within this framework, we prepared a series of or ...

Thiazolium carbene catalysts for the fixation of CO2 onto amines

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Safak Bulut, Mylène Soudani, Shoubhik Das

The catalytic N-formylation and N-methylation of amines using CO2 as the carbon source represents a facile and sustainable approach for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and natural products. Herein, we describe highly effective and inexpensive thiazolium c ...

Cytotoxic double arene ruthenium metalla-cycles that overcome cisplatin resistance

Paul Joseph Dyson, Tina Riedel, Mylène Soudani

Tetranuclear arene ruthenium complexes of the general formula {Ru-2(p-cymene)(2)(mu(4)-L)}(2)(mu(4)-tpom) (tpom = tetrakis(4-pyridyloxymethylene)methane) were obtained from the corresponding dinuclear arene ruthenium complexes [Ru-2(p-cymene)(2)(m(4) ...
