title: Biological investigation of 131I-labeled new water soluble Ru(II) polypyridyl complex.
abstract: New [Ru(L1)(dcbpy)(NCS)2] complex was synthesized in a one-pot reaction starting from [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2, where the ligands (dcbpy=4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine, L1=dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine-11-ylcarbonyl)-sodium) are introduced sequentially. The resulting complex was characterized by IR, NMR, and elemental analysis. The complex was labeled with I-131. Biodistribution study of the complex was carried out using 131I-labeled [Ru(L1)(dcbpy)(NCS)2] complex. The biodistribution study performed with albino Wistar male rats has shown that the complex has high uptake in the lung, small intestine, fat, and spleen.
