Abstract

Two 2-formylthiophene thiosemicarbazone compounds (L1, L2) and the ruthenium(II) arene complexes [(η6-p-cymene)RuII(TSC)Cl]Cl (1: TSC=L1, 2: TSC=L2) have been synthesized. The complexes were characterized by 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The crystal structure of 1 is determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The gel electrophoresis results show that the reaction mechanism for L1/L2 and 1/2 with pBR322 plasmid DNA is different. The in vitro anticancer activities of these complexes have been evaluated against three human cancer cell lines (SGC7901, BEL7404 and CNE-1), and 1 is proved to be the most efficient inhibitor with IC50 values of 27.3 μmol·L1 against CNE-1.
