A series of new Schiff base ligands (BLⁿ, n=1 - 3) and complexes have been synthesized. Binuclear ruthenium complexes [Ru(BLⁿ)(bpy)₂]₂(ClO₄)₄, where bpy=2, 2'-bipyridine, BLⁿ=((PyCHN)-Ph-O-C₆H₄) ₂R (PyCHN=N-2-pyridylmethylene, R=none for Ru1, —C(CH₃)₂ for Ru2 and —SO₂ for Ru3), have been prepared and characterized by element analysis, ¹H NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry methods. The cytotoxicity to cervical cancer cells (Hela), gastric cancer cells (BGC823), gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901), and human normal embryonic lung fibroblasts cells (MRC-5) of the three complexes in vitro was evaluated using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. It is worth noting that Ru1-Ru3 showed excellent antitumor effects in a cellular study for BGC823 in vitro. However, Ru3 exhibited the highest cytotoxicity to any cancer cells than Ru1 and Ru2.
