Résumé

Application of mild hyperthermia can increase the cytotoxicity of anticancer drugs in tumour cells. In this report, we describe low molecular weight thermoactive ruthenium-based drugs with fluorous chains that are selectively triggered by mild hyperthermia. The organometallic complexes were prepared, characterized, and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicity against a panel of human cancer cell lines and non-cancerous immortalized cells. The compounds show considerable chemo-thermal selectivity towards cancer cells (ca. 5 mu M versus >500 mu M for healthy cells) for the compound with the longest fluorous chain.
