The reaction of 2-bromo-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde 1 with Pd(dba) 2 ; dba=dibenzylideneacetone) in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of nitrogen donor ligands, such as N,N,N',, 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmbpy) and an 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), should be added to with equimolar ratio in degassed acetone under nitrogen to give mononuclear σ-aryl palladium (II) complexes cis-[2-Pd{C 6 H(CHO)-6-(OMe) 3 -3,4,5}BrL 2 ] 3a-d, where L 2 =TMEDA (3a); L 2 =bpy (3b); L 2 =dmbpy (3c); L 2 =Phen (3d) in good yields 48-65%. The reaction of the synthesized five-membered C,N-palladacycle cis-[2-Pd{C 6 H(CHO)-6-(OMe) 3 -3,4,5} BrL 2 ] 3a-d, where L 2 =TMEDA (3a); L=bpy (3b); L 2 =dmbpy (3c); L 2 =Phen (3d), with an1-naphthylisocyanates (C 10 H 7 -NCO) and an 1-naphthylisothiocyanates (C 10 H 7 -NCS), leads to the formation of novel palladacycle 4a-d and 5a-d, which was characterized in solution by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The solid products were characterized by satisfactory elemental analysis and spectra studies. All the resulting complexes 3a-d, 4a-d and 5a-d were tested in vitro against a number of cell lines. For example, it inhibited K562 leukaemia cells with an IC 50 value in the range of (3.00 -4.3) µM (1 h exposure) and displayed cathepsin B inhibitory action with an IC 50 value in the range of (0.045-0.055 µM). .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
