Introduction Ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes (RPCs) offer new possibilities in photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) by enabling drug activation with light while circumventing the need for molecular oxygen, contrary to traditional photodynamic therapy. This study introduces MTZH-1 and MTZH-2, metronidazole analogues incorporated into strained ruthenium complexes, demonstrating increased antibacterial efficacy under hypoxic conditions against Bacillus subtilis, a Gram-positive bacteria model. The photoreleased 5-nitroimidazole-based ligands from these complexes show high potency, rivaling clinical metronidazole. The MTZ derivatives' chemical structure reduces interaction with NimA reductases, indicating potential in addressing antimicrobial resistance. This research marks a significant advance in developing photoresponsive tools for infectious disease management under hypoxic conditions.
