Recent advances in practical applications of metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) at different technological fields have stimulated us to design and synthesize a new asymmetric AB3-type trimeric zinc(II)-phthalocyanine (1). This bulky and high...
The mononuclear coordination compounds, [Zn(L)Cl2] (1), [Pd(L)Cl]Cl (2), and [Pt(L)Cl]Cl (3) (L) is a tridentate‐coordinated of 4‐(6‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,6‐di(thiazol‐2‐yl)pyridine) were synthesized and characterized by different spectroscopic methods (FTIR, MALDI‐TOF‐MS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and UV/Vis). By using density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT (TD‐DFT) methods, the geometrical parameters, UV/Vis absorption spectra, and infrared vibrational frequencies for the investigated compounds were explored. Anticancer activities of these compounds were determined by SRB viability assay in human lung (A549 and H1299), prostate (LNCAP), colorectal (HT‐29), breast cancer (MDA‐MB‐231) and healthy bronchial (BEAS‐2B), breast (MCF‐10A), colon (CCD‐18Co), and prostate (WPMY‐1) epithelial cells. Caspase 3/7 activity, cleaved cytokeratin‐18, and PARP levels were measured to determine apoptosis in the metal compounds found to be effective. Among the compounds, 1 showed a selective inhibiting effect and induced apoptosis on the cancer cells, thus further analyses are needed to evaluate its antitumor/anticancer activity.
Novel 4,4'-(((2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diyl)bis(2-methylpropane-2,1-diyl))bis(oxy)) (SUBO) bridged ball-type metallophthalocyanines were synthesized starting from 4,4'-(((2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diyl)bis(2-methylpropane-2,1-diyl))bis(oxy))diphthalonitrile with convenient metal salts in 2-N, N-dimethylaminoethanol. The new bisphthalonitrile compound was obtained from 2,2'-(2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,9-diyl)bis(2-methylpropan-1-ol) and 4-nitrophthalonitrile in acetonitrile...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
