Imidazolium [trans-tetrachloro(1H-imidazole)(S-dimethylsulfoxide)ruthenate(III)] (NAMI-A) and indazolium [trans-tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole)ruthenate(III)] (KP1019) are the most promising ruthenium complexes for anticancer chemotherapy. In this study, the azole ligand of NAMI-A was systematically varied (from imidazole of NAMI-A to indazole, 1,2,4-triazole, 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole, and 1-methyl-1,2,4-triazole), and the resp. complexes were evaluated with regard to the rate of aquation and protein binding, redox potentials, and cytotoxicity by means of capillary zone electrophoresis, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, and colorimetric microculture assays. Stability studies demonstrated low stability of the complexes at pH 7.4 and 37 DegC and a high reactivity toward proteins (binding rate consts. in the ranges of 0.02-0.34 and 0.01-0.26 min-1 for albumin and transferrin, resp.). The redox potentials (between 0.25 and 0.35 V) were found to be biol. accessible for activation of the complexes in the tumor, and the indazole-contg. compd. shows the highest antiproliferative activity in vitro.
