MTT assay showed that the complexes possessed positive cytotoxic effect on the four human solid tumor cell lines. Among the complexes, complex 2 demonstrated the strongest cytotoxic activity compared to cisplatin and oxaliplatin against HepG2 cell line (IC50=3.04μM). Furthermore, the results of gel electrophoresis revealed that complex 2 interacted with DNA in a different mode from that of cisplatin. Mechanism studies of cell proliferation inhibition and cellular uptake indicated that complex 2 entered HepG2 cell more efficiently than cisplatin, exhibited massive G2 accumulation and then induced apoptosis.
