Copper(ii) Salicylaldehyde-n,n-dibenzylsemicarbazone – a Potential Antitumour Compound
نویسندگان
چکیده
From QSAR studies, a series of salicylaldehyde semicarbazones, HOC6H4CH=N-NHCONR2 (H2R2) and their Cu(II) complexes were synthesized, characterized and investigated for their biological activities previously. Results obtained showed that one of the most active compounds in this series is [Cu(HBnz2)Cl]. Thus, in this study, research was then carried out to investigate the anti-tumour property of this compound. The LD50 of [Cu(HBnz2)Cl] was determined to be at 75 mg/kg. Anti-tumour property was observed when this compound was introduced to tumours of human origin (MOLT-4 on SCID mice) and murine origin (3LL on normal mice).

The polarographic behaviour of salicylaldehyde-2-pyridylhydrazone (SAPH) has been studied in aqueous buffer solution containing 40% ethanol using DC and DP polarographic methods. In the pH range 1.8--7.5 the observed single irreversible reduction wave is assigned to the splitting of the N N bond and reduction of C = N centre. In alkaline medium, a second wave appears at a more negative potentia...
