prove that copper(II)-thiosemicarbazone complexes can be used as antibacterial and antitumor agents, we have synthesized and characterized three copper(II) complexes (C1-C3). These Cu(II) complexes exhibited excellent anticancer and antimicrobial activity, and greatly exceed the corresponding metal-free ligands. C3 has the highest anti-proliferative activity (0.20 ± 0.04 µM) against A549 (human lung

A series of both mono- and dinuclear gold(I) phosphinecomplexes containing monoanionic seleno- and thiosemicarbazones as ligands were prepared and fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and, in some cases, by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The in vitro anti-malaria activity of some of these compounds was investigated in chloroquine sensitive strains of Plasmodium falciparum. The IC50 results
