Abstract

Organometallic ruthenium(II)-arene complexes coordinated to maltol-derived ligands were prepared and their anticancer activity against human tumor cell lines was studied. In addition, their hydrolysis behavior and reaction with 5?-GMP was tested and compared to the parent compound chlorido[2-methyl-3-(oxo-?O)-pyran-4(1H)-onato-?O4](?6-p-cymene)ruthenium(II) (Ru-maltol). Improved stability and in vitro anticancer activity at maintained GMP binding capability were observed, in comparison to the Ru-maltol complex.
