“…It is important to note that this compound presents lower tumor cytotoxic activity when compared with other organic ruthenium(III) compounds [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45], but higher cytotoxicity than NAMI-A and derivatives [25,28,36]. Results from previous experiments [44] in which mice transplanted with sarcoma 180 cells were treated with the same ruthenium(III) complex at different time intervals and concentrations revealed that cis-[RuCl2(NH3)4]Cl is remarkably well tolerated in therapeutic doses with little or no toxicity in the host.…”

“…This suggests that similar to NAMI-A, ruthenium(III) compound binds preferentially to proteins at low concentration [20] and binds also to nucleobases only at high concentrations [22,24]. Some ruthenium compounds effectively diminish ROI levels by both catalyzing the autoxidation of glutathione [42] and displaying catalase-like activity [43]. Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that cis-(dichloro)tetraamineruthenium(III) chloride at low concentration may protect against DNA damage in Jurkat cells while inducing DNA damage at high concentration, as shown here.…”

“…A water-soluble Ru(II) complex of a macrocycle with tertiary amines was found to be very efficient in the catalytic dismutation of hydrogen peroxide. 175 The initial rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition by this ruthenium complex was 6x 10" 4 M _1 s _ '.…”

“…Superoxide dismutases (SODs), catalase-peroxidases (KatGs) and catalases are specialized oxidoreductase enzymes for the degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), e.g., hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl and superoxide radicals to avoid their accumulation and prevent the oxidative damage of cellular components, that may lead to a number of diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s diseases and aging [1,2,3,4]. For example, the hydroxyl and/or hydroperoxyl radicals may cause lipid peroxidation, membrane damage, DNA oxidation and cell death [5,6]. As a fine coupling of SODs and catalases, the former enzymes catalyze the dismutation of superoxide into dioxygen (1-electon oxidation) and H 2 O 2 , whilst the latter enzymes eliminate the H 2 O 2 via its decomposition by disproportionation into O 2 (2-electron oxidation) and H 2 O, resulting in the optimal intracellular concentration of a H 2 O 2 molecule [7,8,9], which acts as a second messenger in signal-transduction pathways.…”
