Antineoplastic ruthenium(III) complexes are generally regarded as prodrugs, being activated by reduction. Within a homologous series of ruthenium(III) complexes, cytotoxic potency is therefore expected to increase with increasing ease of reduction. Complexes of the general formula [(RuCl(6-n))-Cl-III(ind)(n)]((3-n)-) (n = 0-4; ind = indazole; counterions = Hind(+) or Cl-) and the compound trans- [(RuCl2)-Cl-II(ind)(4)] have been prepared and characterized electrochemically. Lever's parametrization method predicts that a higher indazole-to-chloride ratio results in a higher reduction potential, which is confirmed by cyclic voltammetry. In vitro antitumor potencies of these complexes in colon cancer cells (SW480) and ovarian cancer cells (CH1) vary by more than 2 orders of magnitude and increase in the following rank order: [(RuCl6)-Cl-III](3-) < [(RuCl4)-Cl-III(ind)(2)](-) < [(RuCl5)-Cl-III(ind)](2-)
