Abstract:

Ginkgo biloba leaves polyprenols(GBP) was used as raw material, and its terminal hydroxyl group was replaced with cyano group by chemical modification method. On this basis, cyano-GBP and ruthenium polypyridine complex were utilized as raw materials, the GBP-ruthenium polypyridine metal complex was synthesized and characterized by complex reaction. The lipid-water partition coefficient, photo-induced ligand dissociation ability and light-controlled antitumor activity of the complex were investigated. NMR results showed that the cyano-GBP and GBP-ruthenium polypyridine metal complex were successfully synthesized. The synthesized complex has good lipid-water partition coefficient(1.35), which was conducive to its penetration of cell membranes. In addition, cyano-GBP ligand of the synthesized complex gradually dissociated under light and exhibited better antitumor activity with the half inhibitory concentration(IC50) against A549 tumor cell of 29.3 μmol/L than GBP(IC50=45.8 μmol/L). Moreover, The light-controlled antitumor activity of the complex may be related to its DNA binding ability.

Key words: Ginkgo biloba leaves, polyprenols, ruthenium polypyridine, metal complex, light-controlled activity
