“…In order to present some of our recent contributions in the coordination chemistry of palladium (II) complexes containing halides and pseudohalides as coligands [17][18][19], in this report we have evaluated the in vitro cytotoxic potential (IC 50 ) of the compounds [Pd(C 2 ,Ndmba)(Cl)(tu)] (1) and [Pd(C 2 ,N-dmba)(Br)(tu)] (2), (dmba ¼ N,Ndimethylbenzylamine, tu ¼ thiourea) against the LM3 and LP07 murine tumor cell lines, as well as their minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against M. tuberculosis. In addition, this work also describes the synthesis, spectroscopic and structural characterization of [Pd(C 2 ,N-dmba)(Br)(tu)] (2).…”
