Comment: Ru265 is a small bi-nuclear ruthenium-containing complex that has a similar chemical structure to Ru360, however unlike its predecessor Ru265 is cell-permeable and is therefore suitable for in vitro studies in intact cells. Ru265 inhibits mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake by disrupting Ca2+ movement through the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU; Q8NE86) [1-3].
