[Ru (dpp) (bpy) (mtmp) ] (PF6) 2

[Ru (dpp) (bpy) (mtmp) ] (PF6) 2 (Compound 5) is a ruthenium-based coordination complex with three chelating ligands. It exhibits photoactivated anticancer properties. Under green light irradiation, [Ru (dpp) (bpy) (mtmp) ] (PF6) 2 selectively cleaves, releasing a phototoxic ruthenium-based product that binds to nuclear DNA, inducing DNA damage and apoptosis in cancer cells. This compound is applicable for phototherapy research on cancers such as conjunctival melanoma.
