Comparative cytotoxic and biochemical effects of ligands and metal complexes of .alpha.-N-heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones

Abstract: Several alpha-N-heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones and their iron and copper complexes have been tested for their cytotoxicity and inhibiting activity against DNA synthesis under controlled metal conditions. No ligands show cytotoxicity against Ehrlich cells at the concentrations tested, while some iron and copper complexes are active. In contrast, the ligands inhibit DNA synthesis at much lower concentrations than used above. Similarly, the metal complexes are effective inhibitors at concentration… Show more

“…They possess strong antineoplastic activity against a number of transplantable tumors, spontaneous murine tumors and human tumors. The mechanism of their antitumor action is thought to involve either inhibition of the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase, an obligatory enzyme in DNA synthesis [5][6][7], or creation of lesions in DNA strands [8]. The antifungal activity of Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with 5-nitro-2-furfural thiosemicarbazone has been demonstrated [9,10].…”

“…First row transition metal elements play important role in human life [1] and chemists are interested in co-ordination compounds for their application in industrial and synthetic processes, such as chemical, biological, environmental, ionexchange catalysis, photochemistry, and biological applications, Moreover their thermal, spectral, microscopic and many other properties have also been examined [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
