Abstract:

Naproxen(NPX) was used as precursors to prepare three arene complexes[Ru(η 6-p-cymene)·(NPX-bpy)Cl]Cl(1), [Os(η 6-p-cymene)(NPX-bpy)Cl]Cl(2) and [Ir(η 5-Cp *)(NPX-bpy)Cl]Cl(3) with arene ruthenium(Ru), osmium(Os) and iridium(Ir) dimers. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity results showed that the three complexes exhibited little cytotoxic activity against the tumor cell lines(IC50>100 μmol/L), except that complex 1 has moderate activity on NB-4 cells(IC50=45.2 μmol/L), which may be attributed to the higher enrichment of complex 1 in the nucleus than complex 2 and 3. In addition, the three complexes could effectively inhibit the expression of COX-2, equivalent to the anti-inflammatory properties of naproxen, and achieved the multi-functional application of anticancer and anti-inflammatory threapy of arene-metal complexes.

Key words: Arene-metal complex, Anticancer drug, Anti-inflammation, Cyclooxygenase-2
