Mitigating UVA light induced reactivity of 6-thioguanine through formation of a Ru(ii) half-sandwich complex†
Abstract
The organometallic complex of (η6-cymene)Ru(II)Br with 6-thioguanine (6-TG) shows better photostability than the biologically active 6-thioguanine which is used as an immunosuppressant and as an anticancer agent.
