The chemistry of redox-active bis (imino) acenaphthenes (BIAN, R-bian) and metal
complexes based on them has been a rapidly develo** field since the 1990s. The key …

This review gives an account of the coordination chemistry of thiosemicarbazone ligands
with three (tridentate) or four (tetradentate) potential donor atoms. The syntheses and …

Neutral and cationic copper bis (thiosemicarbazone) complexes bearing methyl, phenyl, and
hydrogen, on the diketo-backbone of the ligand have been synthesized. All of them were …

A series of eight bis (thiosemicarbazone) ligands and 16 of their respective copper (II) and
zinc (II) complexes containing a combination of hydrogen, methyl, pyridyl, phenyl, and/or …

As the di-2-pyridylketone thiosemicarbazone (DpT) and 2-acetylpyridine thiosemicarbazone
(ApT) series show potent antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo, we synthesized their …

Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are essential antioxidant enzymes that prevent massive
superoxide radical production and thus protect cells from damage induced by free radicals …

Lung cancer remains a major public health concern among all cancer diseases due to the
toxicity and side-effects of the available commercially synthesized drugs. Natural product …

Recently, mixed-ligand copper (II) complexes have received much attention in searching for
alternative metallodrugs to cisplatin. A series of mixed ligand Cu (II) complexes of the type …

A novel ligand bridged copper (II) coordination polymer,[Cu (HL)(NO3)] n has been
synthesized by reacting 2-oxo-1, 2-dihydroquinoline-3-carbaldehyde (2′-methylbenzoyl) …

Bis (thiosemicarbazones) and their copper (Cu) complexes possess unique anti-neoplastic
properties. However, their mechanism of action remains unclear. We examined the structure …
