Novel Ruthenium(II) Complexes Bearing Polypyridyl and 1,2,4-Oxadiazole Ligands: From Synthesis to In Vitro and In Vivo Anticancer Evaluation

We report on the synthesis and characterization of four novel Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes incorporating bipyridine or phenanthroline ancillary ligands. Substituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles are introduced here for the first time as chelating...
