Exploring novel Cd(ii) complexes with 5-methyl-4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde: synthesis, structure, computational insights, and affinity to DNA through switchSense methodology

“…The analysis shows that combinations of metals (in our case Cd(II)) with an appropriate ligand, can increase the biological activity of such a molecule. 24,25 A kinetic analysis at 25 °C was also performed for the CdCl 2 salt itself, which was the source of Cd 2+ ions in complex 1. The obtained curve has a very similar shape to that for complex 1 under the same measurement conditions (Fig.…”

“…14,[20][21][22]24 Apart from this, Cd(II) coordination compounds may have stronger antimicrobial activity than some previously used antibiotics. [25][26][27] Consequently, they constitute an important group of connections in the search for new biologically active compounds.…”
