E-mail: yawkai.yan@nie.edu.sg Since the late 1980’s, there has been a steady growth of interest in ruthenium anti-cancer drugs as reflected in the accelerating growth of publications in this area. 1 In particular, a series of water soluble and stable ruthenium(II) arene ethylenediamine complexes (1) was shown to exhibit promising anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. 2 Anti-cancer activity has also been observed in rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes. 3 Since both rhenium(I) and ruthenium(II) are d 6 configuration metal ions, it would be interesting to investigate the anti-cancer activity of rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes with N,N- and P,P- chelating agents. The three CO ligands of the Re(I) complexes correspond to the arene ligand of the Ru(II) complexes in that both donate six electrons. The chelating N,N- and P,P- ligands of the Re(I) complexes correspond to the ethylenediamine ligand of the Ru(II) complexes and both types of complexes have a single ligand exchange site occupied by a monoanionic ligand. In this study, we are concerned with the synthesis and bio-physicochemical characterization of a series of mononuclear rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes [Re(X)(CO)3L2] (2) [where X = Br, Cl, Cl2HCCO2; L2 = ethylenediammine (en), N,N,N ′ ,N ′ -tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen), 2,2 ′ -bipyridine (bpy), N,N ′ -dimethylethylenediamine (dmen), 2,2 ′ -bipyridine-4,4 ′ -dicarboxylic acid (H2bpdc), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf)]. All the complexes were characterized by IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The rhenium complexes and their respective ligands were screened using the human leukaemia (MOLT-4) cell line via the MTT assay. The results will be presented in the poster.

In the human body carbon monoxide possesses versatile properties as a signalling mediator and<br />

participates in important biological processes. Beside being a potent vasodilator, CO can exert antiinflammatory,<br />

anti-apoptotic, and anti-proliferative effects. 1,2 Since it is a toxic gas and difficult to<br />

handle, there is considerable interest in the development <strong>of</strong> CO releasing molecules (CORMs) as<br />

"solid storage forms" for carbon monoxide. Therefore, transition metal carbonyl complexes are highly<br />

interesting target structures. 3 Compared to thermally induced liberation <strong>of</strong> CO, photoactivated CO<br />

release will allow for a precise spatial and temporal control <strong>of</strong> its biological action. 4 We have recently<br />

synthesized several tungsten, molybdenum, and manganese complexes with bidentate as well as<br />

tridentate nitrogen donor ligands as promising new photoCORMs, which are inert in the dark in<br />

aqueous solution, but release CO upon irradiation. 5<br />

Carrier peptides are important vehicles to achieve accumulation <strong>of</strong> bioactive cargos in specific<br />

biological target sites. Thus, we have explored the functionalization <strong>of</strong> the parent photoCORMs with<br />

model peptides using bioorthogonal coupling strategies, such as oxime ligation, Sonogashira crosscoupling,<br />

or the alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (click reaction). 6<br />
