The synthesis and characterization of ruthenium disulfoxide complexes and their preliminary in vitro examination as potential chemotherapeutic agents

The anti-cancer activity of the water-soluble complexes cis- and trans- RuCl2(DMSO)4 has led, in this laboratory, to further investigation of disulfoxide complexes of Ru as potential chemotherapeutic agents. The dithioether precursors and disulfoxides were synthesized in this work following lite...
