Steroidal compounds exhibit particular physiological activities. In this paper, some steroidal thiosemicarbazones platinum (Pt(II)) complexes were synthesized by the condensation of steroidal ketones with thiosemicarbazide using estrone, chenodeoxycholic acid, and 7-deoxycholic acid as starting materials and complexation of steroidal thiosesemicarbazones with Pt(II). The complexes were characte...

Article history: Received on: 11/06/2013 Revised on: 29/06/2013 Accepted on: 11/07/2013 Available online: 30/07/2013 Three new chalcogenic thiosemicarbazones (3,4-difluoroacetophenone thiosemicarbazone(1), 2-bromo-4’chloroacetophenone thiosemicarbazone(2) and 2, 4’-dibromoacetophenone thiosemicarbazone(3) are synthesized by using a conventional one step processes in which the respective halo-su...

Thirty two new Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes (1-32) with salicylidene thiosemicarbazones (H₂L¹-H₂L¹⁰) were synthesized. Salicylidene thiosemicarbazones, of general formula (X)N-NH-C(S)-NH(Y), were prepared through the condensation reaction of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and its derivatives (X) with thiosemicarbazide or 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (Y = H, C6H5). The characterization of the new for...

Novel thiosemicarbazonato complexes of gold(III) have been prepared from reactions of [Au(damp-C1,N)Cl2(damp- = 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl) or [NBu4][AuCl4] with 2-pyridineformamide thiosemicarbazones (HL). The thiosemicarbazones deprotonate and coordinate as mononegative, tridentate NNS ligands to gold to give [Au(Hdamp-C1)(L)]Cl2 or [AuCl(L)]Cl complexes. The organometallic damp- ligan...

Domagk is considered the pioneer of chemotherapy in tuberculosis with thiosemicarbazones. He studied, in cooperation with his collaborators, a large number of thiosemicarbazones developed by the chemists Behnisch, Mietzsch and Schmidt, has found that the 4-acetylaminobenzaldeydethiosemicarbazone was the most efficacious substance against the tubercle bacillus. This compound, according to Domagk...

The mass spectral fragmentation of thiosemicarbazones synthesized from acetophenones has been studied by CG/MS. These carbonyl compounds exhibit chromatographic peaks which are not observed in aliphatic analogues or those synthesized from aldehydes. The analysis of the corresponding spectra has allowed structural assignment to the dimerization of gas phase neutral fragments. Theoretical calcula...

Two series of ferrocenyl- and aryl-derived cyclopalladated organosilane thiosemicarbazone complexes were synthesised via C-H bond activation. Selected compounds were evaluated for in vitro antiplasmodial activity against the chloroquine-sensitive (NF54) and chloroquine-resistant (Dd2) strains of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Cyclopalladation of the thiosemicarbazones resulte...

Thiosemicarbazones are class of compounds which obtained by the condensation thiosemicarbazide with carbonyl compounds. The transition metal complexes thiosemicarbazones widely considered due to their broad spectrum biological activities such as antibacterial, antitumor and antifungal activities. In present research work a series four novel Cu(II) aryl having general composition [Cu(L1)2Cl2], [...

A new series of PdII complexes derived from thiosemicarbazone has been synthesized. The synthesized PdII complexes have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, FT-IR, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, UV/VIS, and thermal studies. A square-planar geometry has been assigned around PdII ions on the basis of results obtained from UV/VIS studies. The thiosemicarbazone ligand and its PdII complexes hav...

Some 2-iminothiazolidin-4-ones have been synthesized by the reaction of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates with thiosemicarbazones. The reaction was performed in the presence of 10 mol% of triphenylphosphine and tetrabutylammonium bromide as a phase transfer catalyst in water as a green solvent. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by their physical and spectral data.
