H I T S  on anticancer metal-based compound discovery

 KP1019 alters the mitochondrial membrane potential and induces apoptosis

By BK Keppler et al., 2004-2005
JC-1 stain of HT-29 cells
Hoechst stain of HT-29 cells
HT-29 cells, exposed in vitro to the ruthenium compound indazolium bis-indazoletetrachlororuthenate (KP1019, FFC14; top, left), shift the JC-1 stain to the green fluorescence ( middle), indicating mitochondrial membrane depolarization, in a dose-dependent way ( left); correspondingly, the same cells show apoptotic bodies (A) (right), evidenced by the Hoechst stain.
