A systematically generated series of hydrazones were analyzed as potential inhibitors of anthrax lethal factor. The hydrazones were screened using one UV-based and two fluorescence-based in vitro assays. The study identified several inhibitors with IC50 values in the micromolar range, and importantly, significant differences in the types of inhibition were observed with the different assays.

spectroscopic tools. The piano stool (pseudo-octahedral) geometry of the complex was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The anticancer property of the ligand and complex was investigated against A549, HeLa and MCF7 cancer cell lines. The complex exhibited superior activity against A549 and HeLa cancer cells with the IC50 values of 23.4 and 12.9 µM, respectively.
