designed two copper complexes from the ligands analogues with chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. Both the ligands and complexes were well characterized by using various spectroscopic, thermal and X-ray diffraction techniques. Both the complexes as well as ligands were screened through in silico method with the chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine which essentially proved pivotal for successful understanding
Ligand substituent effect on the cytotoxicity activity of two new copper(<scp>ii</scp>) complexes bearing 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives: validated by MTT assay and apoptosis in MCF-7 cancer cell line (human breast cancer)
L2) and complexes (1 and 2) was screened against the MCF-7 cellline (human breastcancer). The MTT assay uptake indicated that the presence of –COOH functionality in complex 2 leads to higher cytotoxicity (lower IC50) than that observed for complex 1 containing a –CN group. This could be due to the strong H-bonding forming propensity of the carboxylic acids. Incubation of MCF-7 cancercells with IC50
