IN VITRO CYTOTOXICITY AND FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING POTENTIAL OF ETHYL PYRUVATE DERIVED COPPER COMPLEXES OF THIOSEMICARBAZONE

Objective: The present study was aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity and antioxidant properties of copper complexes of thiosemicarbazone (TSC-Cu) using different in vitro models.Methods: In vitro MTT assay was carried out against the HL-60 cell line to check the cytotoxic potency of TSC-Cu. In vitro radical scavenging activity of TSC-Cu was evaluated by checking its role in scavenging DPPH, hydroxyl radical and lipid peroxidation.Results: Among the test molecules studied, TSC-Cu with choride side chain (TSC-Cu-Cl) showed dose and time dependent increased cytotoxic activity on HL-60 cell line compared to TSC-Cu with hydroxyl side chain (TSC-Cu-OH). Further, TSC-Cu-Cl exhibited promising radical scavenging activities against hydroxyl radical, 2,2-diphenyl, 2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), and also effectively inhibited lipid peroxidation.Conclusion: The results of the present investigation confirm that the TSC-Cu-Cl complex can be considered as a novel metal complex with potent anti-oxidant and cytotoxic ability.Â

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid Derived Schiff Base and Its Lanthanide(III) Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, Spectroscopic Studies, and Plant Growth Activity

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid derived Schiff base (HL) and its lanthanide [La(III), Pr(III), Nd(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Dy(III), Y(III)] complexes were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic (1H, 13C, DEPT and 2D HMQC NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis, and mass) techniques and other analytical methods. HL exhibits “E” and “Z” isomerism and was confirmed by variable temperature 1H NMR studies. The spectral and analytical data reveals the bidentate coordination of HL to lanthanide(III) ion, through carboxylic acid group via deprotonation. Fluorescence spectrum of europium complex shows bands at 578, 592, and 612 nm assignable to D05→F07, D05→F17, and D05→F27, respectively. Auxin activity of HL and lanthanum(III) complex on wheat seeds (Triticum durum) was measured at different concentrations. The percentage germination, root length, and shoot length were recorded. An enhancement in the plant growth activity of the ligand was observed on complexation and the best activity was observed at 10−6 M concentration

Thermokinetic and spectral studies of niobium(V) complexes with 3-substituted-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole Schiff bases

Metal complexes of niobium(V) with 3-substituted-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole Schiff bases have been synthesized in dry chloroform under a nitrogen atmosphere. They were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, electronic, infrared, 1H-NMR spectroscopy and thermal studies. Parameters, such as energy of activation (Ea), enthalpy (DH#), entropy (DS#) and Gibbs energy (DD#), were computed from the thermal decomposition data. Based on the spectral and thermal studies, a coordination number of seven is proposed

Transition metal complexes of a potential anticancer quinazoline ligand

A new heterocycle, namely 2-(furyl)-3-(furfuralimino)-1,2-dihydroquinazolin-4(3H)-one (ffdq) was formed by the ondensation of 2-aminobenzoylhydrazide with furfural and characterized by physico-chemical, spectroscopic, and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. A series of complexes of ffdq have been synthesized and characterized by physico-chemical, spectroscopic, and thermal studies. According to the i.r. and 1H-n.m.r. spectra ffdq behaves as a bidentate ligand coordinating through quinazoline oxygen and azomethine nitrogen. The FAB-mass spectrum of the Cd(II) complex indicates the monomeric nature of this complex. The X-band e.p.r. spectrum of the Cu(II) complex and thermal stabilities of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes are discussed

Ligational behaviour of (E)-2-amino-N ` -1-(2-hydroxyphenyl) ethylidene]benzohydrazide towards later 3d metal ions: X-ray crystal structure of nickel(IV) complex

Ligational behaviour of (E)-2-amino-N'-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethylidene]benzohydrazide (Aheb) towards later 3d metal ionscopper(II), cobalt(II), manganese(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and nickel(IV)] has been studied. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of spectral (IR, H-1 NMR, UV-Vis, EPR and FAB-mass), elemental analyses, conductance measurements, magnetic moments, and thermal studies. During complexation Ni(II) ion has got oxidized to Ni(IV). The changes in the bond parameters of the ligand on complexation has been discussed by comparing the crystal structure of the ligand with that of its Ni(IV) complex. The X-ray single crystal analysis of Ni(aheb)(2)]Cl-2 center dot 4H(2)O has confirmed an octahedral geometry around the metal ion. EPR spectra of the Cu(II) complex in polycrystalline state at room (300 K) and liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) were recorded and their salient features are reported. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Crystal Structure of 2-pyridine-2-yl-3(pyridine-2-carboxylideneamino)quinazolin-4(3h)-one and its Ligating Diversity Towards Transition Metal(II) Ions

The synthesis of a new ligand 2-pyridine-2-yl-3(pyridine-2-carboxylideneamino)-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (PPCAQ) is described together with its manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes. The single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of the ligand reveal the presence of two crystallographically independent molecules in asymmetric unit cell, which exhibit N...N attractive interaction. The PPCAQ and its metal complexes were characterized by analytical, spectroscopic (i.r., n.m.r and u.v.-vis), magnetic moment, conductance and thermal studies. The i.r. spectral studies reveal the ligational diversity of the PPCAQ towards different metal ions as NNN donor in cobalt(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes and as ONN donor in manganese(II) and nickel(II) complexes. The antimicrobial activity of all the compounds was tested; copper(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes show enhanced antibacterial activity compared to the free ligand
