A series of novel ruthenium(II)-cymene complexes (1–9) with substituted α-dicarbonylmonoximes of general formula [Ru(η6-cymene)(L)Cl] (L?=?N,O-chelating bidentate α-dicarbonylmonoxime derivatives) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopies, and in three cases by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The most effective compound 9 displays remarkable anti-invasion and anti-metastasis properties without apparent cytotoxicity toward three different human cancer cell lines (MCF-7, Hela and HepG2). Further protein level studies suggest that the anti-metastasis activity of the complexes may result from the increasing expression of E-cadherin and reducing expression of Vimentin.
