Abstract:Biological activities of a series of palladium(II) complexes (M1–M9) bearing N∩N, N∩S, and N∩O chelating ligands are reported. The palladium complexes were tested for their cytotoxic properties against human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells and antibacterial activity against Gm+ve and Gm–ve bacteria. Among the palladium complexes studied (M1‐M9), the complex M5, M8, and M9 were found to be more effective in inhibiting the proliferation of HeLa cells. Hence, these complexes were further investigated for their poten… Show more
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.
