Structural and biological studies of mononuclear palladium(II) complexes containing N-substituted thiosemicarbazones

Preparation, spectral characterization and antimicrobial activity of binary and ternary Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ce(III) and UO2(VI) complexes of a thiocarbohydrazone ligand

“…Metal complexes of ligands containing ONS donors have antibacterial [1][2][3], antifungal [4,5] and antitumour activities [6][7][8]. Metal complexes of thiocarbohydrazones have attracted much attention due to their biological activity [9][10][11].…”

Synthesis and synergistic antifungal activities of a pyrazoline based ligand and its copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes with conventional antifungals

“…Metal complexes of organic ligands with pyrazoline motifs have gained considerable interest not only due to their extensive coordination chemistry but due to their catalytic and biological properties [16,17]. Moreover, in the recent years, tremendous growth in synthesizing and screening copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes for antifungal activities led to the identification of novel promising antifungals [18e21].…”

Structure and antimycobacterial activity of the novel organometallic [Pd(C-bzan)(SCN)(dppp)] compound

“…the last 10 years, the interest on the biological activity of Pd(II) complexes bearing phosphine-type ligands has been renewed as a number of newly synthesized derivatives turned out to display promising cytotoxicity toward selected human tumor cell lines as well as pronounced antiproliferative activity against pathogenic microbes and parasites [11][12][13][14][15]. Special attention has been devoted to diphosphine ligands which can chelate or bridge Pd(II) ions to yield mono and binuclear compounds with significant biological activity.…”

“…Among the transition metals, special attention has been turned to square planar palladium(II) complexes based on the structural analogy between Pt(II) and Pd(II) derivatives and some basic approaches to develop antitumor active Pd(II) compounds have been reviewed [8][9][10]. In particular, during the last 10 years, the interest on the biological activity of Pd(II) complexes bearing phosphine-type ligands has been renewed as a number of newly synthesized derivatives turned out to display promising cytotoxicity toward selected human tumor cell lines as well as pronounced antiproliferative activity against pathogenic microbes and parasites [11][12][13][14][15]. Special attention has been devoted to diphosphine ligands which can chelate or bridge Pd(II) ions to yield mono and binuclear compounds with significant biological activity.…”
