Abstract:	New ruthenium(II) complexes bearing benzoate (AB) ligand with the general formula [Ru(AB)(bipy)(P–P)]PF6, where 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) and different diphosphine ligands, (P–P) = 1,2′-bis(diphenylphosphine)ethane(dppe, 1), 1,3′-bis(diphenylphosphine)propane (dppp, 2) and 1,2′-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene (dppf, 3), were synthesized. The compounds were characterized by molar conductivity, elemental analysis, cyclic voltammetry, infrared and UV–Vis spectroscopies, NMR, and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction for complexes 1 and 2. The complexes showed a weak interaction to CT-DNA through DNA minor groove, with Kb values at around 103-104 M− 1. CT-DNA interaction assays by viscosity and circular dichroism (CD) suggested that the compounds do not significantly alter the secondary DNA structure. The complexes are cytotoxic against MDA-MB-231, MCF7 (breast) and A549 (lung) tumor cell lines, with IC50 values in the range of 1 to 17 µM. The compounds 1-3 showed high selectivity against triple-negative breast tumor cells. Remarkably, complexes 1 and 3 show greater cytotoxic activity against cells than cisplatin, being promising agents for tumor treatment.
