    Review, Journal:  From Concept to Cure: The Road Ahead for Ruthenium-Based Anticancer Drugs. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 7, 2024   
    Among these, Ru complexes, exemplified by BOLD-100 and TLD1433, have shown exceptional promise due to their selective activity, lower propensity for resistance, and the ability to target spescific cellular pathways. This paper explores the journey of such Ru candidates, focusing on the mechanisms, efficacy, and clinical potential of these Ru-based drugs, which stand at the forefront of current research, aiming to provide more targeted, less toxic, and highly effective cancer treatments.

    One example of a successful PS is Ru-based TLD1433 from our lab, which is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials to treat bladder cancer with PDT...Thus, this study focuses on the effect of CH 3 substituents on bipyridyl coligands and number of thiophenes in the [Ru(bpy) 2 (IP- n T)] 2+ [Ru(dmb) 2 (IP- n T)] 2+ family, where bpy is 2,2?-bipyridine, dmb is 5,5?-di(methyl)-bpy, IP is imidazo[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline, and n T is the number of thiophenes ( n =0 to 4). In this vein, cyclic differential pulse voltammetry (CDPV) was used to characterize the ground state redox potentials and other electrochemical properties of these metal complex photosensitizers .

    Journal:  Using Biological Photophysics to Map the Excited-State Topology of Molecular Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 7, 2023   
    This contribution targets a general problem in phototherapy, which is how to interrogate the light-triggered, function-determining processes of the PSs in the relevant biological environment, and establishes methodological advances to study the ultrafast photoinduced processes in TLD1433 when taken up by MCF7 cells. We generalize the methodological developments and results in terms of molecular physics by applying them to TLD1433's analogue TLD1633, making this study a benchmark to investigate the excited-state dynamics of phototoxic compounds in complex biological environment.

    Review, Journal, Combination therapy, Monotherapy:  Ruthenium-based antitumor drugs and delivery systems from monotherapy to combination therapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 22, 2022   
    NAMI-A, KP1019, TLD1433 and other ruthenium complexes have entered clinical research...During the development of ruthenium complexes, drug delivery forms of ruthenium antitumor drugs have also evolved from single-molecule drugs to nanodrug delivery systems. The review summarizes the following aspects: (1) ruthenium complexes from monotherapy to combination therapy, including the development of single-molecule compounds, carrier nanomedicine, and self-assembly of carrier-free nanomedicine; (2) ruthenium complexes in the process of ADME in terms of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion; (3) the applications of ruthenium complexes in combination therapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), immunotherapy, and their combined application; (4) the future prospects of ruthenium-based antitumor drugs.

    One of the complexes studied herein, Ru-ip-3T (known as TLD1433), is currently in phase II human clinical trials for treating bladder cancer by PDT...Femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption combined with resonance Raman data was used to map the excited-state relaxation processes from the Franck-Condon point of absorption to the formation of the lowest-energy triplet excited state, which is a triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited state for Ru-ip-0T-1T and an oligothienyl-localized triplet intraligand charge-transfer excited state for Ru-ip-2T-4T. We establish the structure-activity relationships with regard to changes in the excited-state dynamics as a function of thiophene chain length, which alters the photophysics of the complexes and presumably impacts the photocytotoxicity of these PSs.
