Ligand substitutions between ruthenium–cymene compounds can control protein versus DNA targeting and anticancer activity by Davey, Curt Alexander, Adhireksan, Zenita, Davey, Gabriela E., Campomanes, Pablo, Groessl, Michael, Clavel, Catherine M., Yu, Haojie, Nazarov, Alexey A., Yeo, Charmian Hui Fang, Ang, Wee Han, Dröge, Peter, Rothlisberger, Ursula, Dyson, Paul J.

“…Using a novel ‘atom-to-cell’ approach, we establish the basis for the surprisingly site-selective adduct formation behaviour and distinct cellular impact of these two chemically similar anticancer agents, which suggests that the cytotoxic effects arise largely from DNA lesions, whereas the protein adducts may be linked to the other therapeutic activities. Our study shows promise for developing new ruthenium drugs, via ligand-based modulation of DNA versus protein binding and thus cytotoxic potential, to target distinguishing epigenetic features of cancer cells.…”
