Apoptosis, autophagy, cell cycle arrest, cell invasion and BSA-binding studies in vitro of ruthenium(ii) polypyridyl complexes

Four new ruthenium(ii) polypyridyl complexes were synthesized and characterized. The anticancer activity was investigated by cytotoxicity in vitro, apoptosis, comet assay, ROS, autophagy, cell invasion and western blot analysis.
