Chemotherapeutic Activities of New η⁶-<i>p</i>-Cymene Ruthenium(II) and Osmium(II) Complexes with Chelating SS and Tridentate SNS Ligands by David O. Ywaya, Halliru Ibrahim, Holger B. Friedrich, Muhammad D. Bala, Lynette Soobramoney, Aliscia Daniels, Moganavelli Singh

“…These findings imply that the higher stability of the chelating (SS) and the pincer (SNS) ligand architectures in the complexes improves the biological (anti-proliferative) activity of the complexes by reducing the chance of ligand dissociation under physiological conditions. In general, the pincer (SNS) osmium complexes were found to be more cytotoxic than their ruthenium analogues, suggesting that the anti-proliferative activity of the imidazole-2-thione-Ru/Os complexes depends on the ligand’s spatial coordination, the nature of the metal center, and the charge of the metal complex ions.…”
