Two novel SNS-donor palladium(ii) complexes of benzoxazole and benzothiazole derivatives as potential anticancer agents

Abstract

Two novel mononuclear palladium(II) complexes, [PdL1Cl]Cl (1) and [PdL2Cl]Cl (2) with SNS-donor ligands (where L1= N-(4-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)phenyl)-2-(bis(2-ethylthioethyl)amino)acetamide, L2 = N-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol)-2-yl)phenyl)-2-(bis(2-ethylthioethyl)amino)acetamide), were synthesized and characterized. In vitro antiproliferative activity tests showed that...
