The Ru(II)-nitrite complex, Ru4, is explored to release nitric oxide (NO) under acidic conditions and selectively induce a cytotoxic effect towards SK-MEL-28 cisplatin-resistant malignant melanoma cells. These findings suggest that targeting the tumor-associated pHe level could be an effective strategy for the drug function of Ru(II)-nitrite compounds.
研究了 Ru(II)-亚硝酸盐配合物 Ru4 在酸性条件下释放一氧化氮 (NO) 的能力,并选择性地诱导 SK-MEL-28 顺铂耐药恶性黑素瘤细胞产生细胞毒性作用。这些发现表明,针对肿瘤相关的 pHe 水平可能是 Ru(II)-亚硝酸盐化合物发挥药物作用的有效策略。
