Bidentate ligands and their Cu(II) complexes: Structural characterization, electrochemical properties and biological evaluation

Comparative solution and structural studies on anticancer copper complexes of thiosemicarbazones and 2-substituted sterane-based compounds

“…Metal complexation can enhance the biological activity of drugs, as it may result in higher lipophilicity leading to greater intracellular accumulation in addition to altered size, charge and redox properties. Various Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), VO(II)/(IV) and Mn(II) complexes bearing aminophenol derivatives were reported to possess antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial activities [116][117][118][119][120][121].…”
