Structural diversity in dinuclear copper(I) halide complexes of 2,4-dithiouracil: Synthesis, crystal structures, induction of DNA damage and oxidative stress mediated by ROS

Heteroleptic Copper(I) Complexes of “Scorpionate” Bis-pyrazolyl Carboxylate Ligand with Auxiliary Phosphine as Potential Anticancer Agents: An Insight into Cytotoxic Mode

“…In this regard, copper has attracted significant interest, since it plays key roles in biochemical processes such as nitrite reductase22, amine oxidases23, superoxide dismutase24, catechol oxidase25 and tyrosinase26. Copper(II) complexes have been intensily studied1027 whereas the potential of Cu(I) complexes has been scarcely tested as antimicrobial28, antiviral29, antifungal30 and anticancer drugs1731323334. Mostly, coordination compounds having S-/N-donor and/or phosphine ligands are highly suitable candidates for clinical investigation, given their proven cytotoxicity on cancer cells and high stability in aqueous solution35.…”

A Ratiometric Fluorescent Probe Based on Copper Complex of Mercaptopyrimidine with Bifunctional Detection

“…The Cu(I) complexes, composed of Cu + with 3d 10 electron con guration and organic ligands, generally display excellent photoluminescence properties. Accordingly, luminescent Cu(I) complexes with unique physical and chemical properties have extensive application in photoelectric materials [1][2][3][4], uorescent probes [5,6], biomedicine [7][8][9] and catalysis [10,11]. In the view of ligand eld theory, the photoluminescence of Cu(I) complexes should be attributed to the charge transfer of metal-ligand (MLCT), ligand-metal (LMCT), ligand-ligand (LLCT), halogen-metal (XMCT), metal-halogen (MXCT) and halogen-ligand (XLMT).…”
