Synthesis, structure, electrochemistry and spectral characterization of (d-glucopyranose)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazide metal complexes and their antitumor activity against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma in Swiss albino mice
摘要:
The novel glycosyl saccharide derivative, (D-glucopyranose)-4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (LH) and its complexes, with cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) were synthesized, characterised and tested for cytotoxic effects. The copper complex, [CuLCI] inhibited Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) induced cancer cell lines in Swiss albino mice at LC50 = 1.94 x 10(-8) (LC50 = 2.76 x 10(-8) for cisplatin) and so distinctly better than free ligand and other complexes.
