DIIodo(P-Cymene)Ruthenium Dimer

Diiodo(p-cymene)ruthenium(II) dimer can be applied as a catalyst for many reactions such as ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation, preparation of Walphos-type ferrocenyl-aryl diphosphine ligands, ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis reactions, and enantioselective hydrogenation of ketones and olefins. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Diiodo(p-cymene)ruthenium(II) dimer is a ligand that binds to the active site of cholinesterases, inhibiting their catalytic activity. This compound has shown inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Diiodo(p-cymene)ruthenium(II) dimer also inhibits the activity of other enzymes that contain an esteratic site, such as serine proteases and phospholipases. The structure of this ligand is similar to that of a ruthenium complex. Preclinical testing was conducted on rats with induced myasthenia gravis. A film preparation method was developed for x-ray diffraction studies. Diiodo(p-cymene)ruthenium(II) dimer has been shown to be effective in the treatment of cancer
