Key Points

Assess the cytotoxic properties of Ru(II)-arene Schiff base complexes on cervical cancer cells compared to normal cells.
Synthesis of four bromine-substituted Ru(II)-arene Schiff base complexes.
Cytotoxicity evaluated using MTT assay in cervical cancer (SiHa) and normal fibroblast (3T3-L1) cells.
In vitro study to compare effects of complexes on both cell types.
Bromine-substituted Ru(II) complexes demonstrated differential cytotoxicity towards SiHa and 3T3-L1 cells.
Increased cytotoxicity observed in cancer cells compared to normal cells, indicating cancer selectivity.
Potential applications in cell imaging highlighted based on observed interactions.

Abstract

Four bromine-substituted Ru(II)-arene Schiff base complexes derived from bromo-picolinaldehyde and 3-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)propan-1-amine were examined for their cytotoxic behaviour toward cervical cancer (SiHa) and normal fibroblast (3T3-L1) cells using MTT-based in vitro...
