Novel bidentate complexes of Cu(II) derived from 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazones with antiamoebic activity against E. histolytica
摘要:
The novel analogues of 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxaldehyde thiosernicarbazones 1-10 were synthesized and their copper(H) complexes 1a-10a were obtained by means of coordination with cupric chloride. All these compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectra and thermogravimetric patterns while ligands have also been characterized by H-1 NMR spectral studies. These copper complexes are bidentate and possess octahedral geometry around Cu(II) ion. Their antiamoebic activities were carried out to ascertain their effectiveness in comparison to their corresponding thiosemicarbazones. A number of these complexes possess noteworthy potencies towards HK-9 strain of Entainoeba histolytica in vitro. The complexes 2a-7a, 9a and 10a showed less IC50 value than metronidazole, the drug of choice for amoebiasis. Moreover, complexes 2a and 9a have shown the most promising antiamoebic activities (IC50 = 0.38 mu M of 2a and IC50 = 0.34 mu M of 9a versus IC50 = 1.81 mu M of metronidazole). These results indicate that the metallated thiosemicarbazone may be lead molecule to inhibit growth of E. histolytica. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
