Synthesis and characterization of copper(II) complexes of pyridine-2-carboxamidrazones as potent antimalarial agents
摘要:
Copper(II) complexes of some pyridine-2-carboxamidrazones have been prepared and characterized. The crystal structures of the copper complex cis-[dichloro(N-1-2-acetylthiophene-pyridine-2-carboxamidrazone)copper(II)I 8a and one of the free ligands, viz. {(p-chloro-2-thioloxy-benzylidine-pyridine-2-carboxamidrazone)} 6, have been determined. The former shows a highly distorted square planar geometry around copper, with weak intermolecular coordination from the thiophenyl sulfur resulting in a stacking arrangement in the crystal lattice. The in vitro activities of the synthesized compounds against the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum are reported for the first time, which clearly shows the advantage of copper complexation and the requirement of four coordinate geometry around copper as some of the key structural features for designing such metal-based antimalarials.

Copper(II) complexes of the derivatives of pyridyl-2-carboxamidrazone [Cu(appc)Cl-2] (1) (appc = N-1-(2-acetylpyridine)pyridine-2-carboxamidrazone) and [Cu(atpc)Cl-2] (2) (ATPC = N-1-(2-acetylthiophene)pyridine-2-carboxamidrazone) have been prepared and characterized by various physicochemical techniques including electrochemistry, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 is reported (space group P2(1)/n, a = 8.2535(6) Angstrom, b = 16.7479(15) Angstrom, c = 10.5320(8) Angstrom). The geometry around copper in 1 is best described as trigonal bipyramidal (tau = 0.58) where the chloride ions occupy equatorial positions on the trigonal plane in a cis-configuration and are involved in the hydrogen bonding interactions with the protons of the amino group of the neighboring molecules. The in vitro antiproliferative activity against mouse melanoma cell line B16F10 indicates compound 1 to be highly potent, clearly establishing the importance of copper conjugation in the drug design for melanomal cancers.
