Eight ruthenium(n) compounds of the general formula [(eta(5)-C5H5)Ru(N-N)(PPh3)][PF6] were rationally designed, exhibiting high cytotoxicity against HCT116 human colon cancer cells, with IC50 between 14.56 and 1.56 mu M; importantly, compounds 5Ru and 6Ru are the first reported ruthenium glycoconjugates exploiting glucose transporters, widely overexpressed in cancer, for cellular uptake.
