Self‐Assembly of Novel Thiophene‐Based BODIPY RuII Rectangles: Potential Antiproliferative Agents Selective Against Cancer Cells

Abstract: Novel Ru (2+2) rectangles were designed and synthesized by self-assembly of a new thiophene-functionalized dipyridyl BODIPY ligand, BDPS, and ruthenium(II) precursors. The complexes exhibited dose-dependent antiproliferative activities against cancer cells, in which some compounds selectively kill cancer cells. The net fluorescence due to BODIPY allowed us to visualize their location inside cancer cells. Moreover, the metalla-rectangles displayed substantial propensity to bind with biomolecules.

“…Up to now, many established pharmacophores have been coupled to BODIPY derivatives in order to study their uptake and intracellular localization (Figure 4). Self-assemblies of metal-based BODIPY derivatives have also been recently reported as potential theranostics [43][44][45]. The neutral analogue of cisplatin 2.1-2 was demonstrated to induce DNA damages in ovarian carcinoma cells, associated with a 100-times reduced activity with respect to cisplatin [46].…”

“…These supramolecules strongly interacted with biomolecules, such as protain and DNA, and were found to be cytotoxic against brain cancer cells. Dipyridyl-appended BODIPYs also coordinate to Ru(II) or Ir(III) ions to produce macrocyclic rectanglar architectures, which exhibit aggregation-induced emission properties and/or a selective citotoxicity (Gupta et al, 2016 , 2017b ).…”

“…Following this initial study, several other arene ruthenium metalla-assemblies were tested as duplex DNA binders (Linares et al, 2010; Paul et al, 2015; Gupta et al, 2016, 2017). However, in the human genome, DNA sequences can fold into other thermodynamically stable structures such as hairpins and quadruplexes.…”
