Copper(II) and oxidovanadium(IV) complexes of chromone Schiff bases as potential anticancer agents

Copper(ii) complexes of the CuN4S core: selective cytotoxicity to cancerous cells, ROS generation and induction of apoptosis

“…Slight variations in the absorbance values with negligible changes in λ max have predicted the stability of Cu( ii ) complexes in both the cases (2% DMF/5 mM Tris–HCl/50 mM NaCl buffer solutions and DMEM as cell growth medium). 21…”

“…12,13 One of the metal ions that is currently the focus of significant investigation is copper, which has recently come to be recognized as a crucial component of several cancer treatment drugs. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Many copper-based complexes are cheaper and easier to make than those derived from platinum, ruthenium, and gold. The oxidation state, complex structure, and ligand type all influence the biological properties.…”

Dual function of new Nd(III) and Gd(III) complexes for cytotoxic and optoelectronic fields: Synthesis, characterization, DFT calculations, and PVA composite films

“…[8][9][10] The antitumor activity is affected by the type of metal ions and their chelating agent. Hydrazone with chromone derivatives exhibits several physical and pharmaceutical applications [11][12][13][14] as antimicrobial and antitumor agents. [15][16][17][18] But their uses till now are scarce, especially in optoelectronic fields.…”

Synthesis, Characterization And Larvicidal Activity Of Schiff Base Ligand 5-(((5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadaizol-2-yl)imino)methyl)-2-methoxyphenol And Its Metal(II) Complexes

“…Literature survey for Schiff base metal complexes and their applications showed excellent review articles [14][15] for the detailed understanding of this class of compounds in all respects [16]. They provide several details on number of metal complexes derived from Schiff bases used widely for applications in food and dye industry [17], analytical chemistry [18], catalysis [19], polymers [20], antifertility [21], agrochemical [22], anti-in ammatory activity [23], antiradical activities [24], and biological systems as enzymatic agents [25]. Several Schiff base metal compounds exhibits antimicrobial [26], antibacterial [27], antifungal [28], antitumor [29] and cytotoxic activities [30].…”
