Schiff base ligand (HL) derived from condensation of 3-methoxy salicylaldehyde with 4-aminobenzoic acid and its metal(II) complexes containing triphenylphosphine of the type [MCl(PPh3)(L)] (M = Ni2+, Co2+ or Cu2+; L = bitendate Schiff base ligand) have been synthesized. All the metal(II) complexes were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (FT-IR, electronic, ESI-Mass, ESR, 1H, 13C NMR and 31P NMR) techniques. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial efficiency against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungai using the agar well diffusion method. Anticancer activity in vitro of the ligand and its metal(II) complexes were also screened against MCF-7 cancer cell lines (human breast cancer cell line).

Nonsymmetrically substituted N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors 1a–d and 3a–d were synthesised by first reacting 1H-(benz)imidazole with p-cyanobenzyl bromide to give 4-(1H-imidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzonitrile (1) and 4-(1H-benzimidazole-1-ylmethyl)benzonitrile (3) and afterwards introducing benzyl bromide, 1-(bromomethyl)-4-methylbenzene, 1-(bromomethyl)-4-methoxybenzene, and methyl 4-(bromomethyl)benzoate. The NHC-silver(I) acetate complexes (1-benzyl-3-(4-cyanobenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-2-ylidene) silver(I) acetate (2a), (1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-3-(4-methylbenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-2-ylidene) silver(I) acetate (2b), (1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-3-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-imidazole-2-ylidene) silver(I) acetate (2c), (1-benzyl-3-(4-cyanobenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole-2-ylidene) silver(I) acetate (4a), (1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-3-(4-methylbenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole-2-ylidene) silver(I) acetate (4b), (1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole-2-ylidene) silver(I) acetate (4c), and (1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-3-[4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-benzimidazole-2-ylidene) silver(I) acetate (4d) were yielded by reacting these NHC precursors with silver(I) acetate. The silver(I) acetate complex 4b was characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Preliminary in vitro antibacterial studies against the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, using the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method, were carried out on the seven NHC-silver(I) acetate complexes 2a–c and 4a–d. Also the IC50 values of these seven complexes were determined by an MTT-based assay against the human renal cancer cell line Caki-1. The complexes 2a–c and 4a–c revealed the following IC50 values, respectively, 25 (±1), 15 (±2), 5.4 (±0.8), 16 (±2), 7.1 (±1), 20 (±4), and 14 (±1) μM.

Herein, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a Schiff base ligand (E)-N'-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-methoxybenzohydrazide (HBMB) and its Mn(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) metal complexes (C1-C3) respectively. The ligand HBMB was synthesized by reacting condensation of salicylaldehyde and 4-methoxy benzohydrazide in a 1:1 molar ratio. The structure of HBMB and its metal complexes (C1-C3) were evaluated by using UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectroscopy as well as on the basis of elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, and thermogravimetric techniques (TGA). The synthesized molecules' tumoricidal properties were performed against human breast cancer (MCF-7) and colon cancer (HT 29) cell lines. The biological results indicated that the ligand, HBMB, and metal complexes possess dose-dependent selective cytotoxicity against the tested carcinoma cells. The synthesized compounds were further evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), and fungal strains (Aspergillus niger).

Two step synthesis of Schiff base ligand and its transition metal complexes was done by condensation reaction. In first step, the drug and aldehyde in equimolar ratio were refluxed for one hour at pH 8-9 in order to get Schiff base ligand. In second step, ligand and metal salts were refluxed for 2 hour. The ligand and Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II), Mn(II), Zn(II) complexes were characterized by using different instruments like FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, Mass, Atomic absorption spectrometer, Elemental analyzer, UV-visible spectrophotometer, Evans balance, Conductivitymeter and Thermogravimeter. In vitro antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory activities were also studied. The synthesized ligand and transition metal complexes were tested against Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus pumilus, Klebsiella oxytoca, Clostridium butyrium, Mucor and Aspergillus niger. These studies demonstrated the enhanced activity of metal complexes against reported bacterial and fungal strains when compared with free Schiff base ligand. The Cu(II) complex recognized as anti-inflammatory agent while the parent drug showed no activity.

: Benzoimidazolphenylethanamine (BPE) was synthesized through the condensation reaction of 1,2-phenyldiamine and L-phenylalanine. The new complexes were prepared from the reaction of 6-amino-N,N-dimethyluracil (ADU), benzoimidazolphenylethanamine and Cadmium (II), Tin (II), Copper (II) and Nickel (II) metal respectively. All new hybrid complexes were fully characterized by spectroscopic data of FTIR, UV-Visible electronic absorption, thermal analysis, X-ray powder diffraction studies and mass spectroscopy. Spectra analyses of the hybrid metal complexes showed the tetrahedral coordination of the ligands to the metal ions via the nitrogen atoms. The in vitro antibacterial activities of the hybrid complexes were assayed against four bacterial isolates namely, Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus aureus as gram positive bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli as gram negative bacteria using agar well diffusion method. Most of the tested isolates were sensitive to most metal hybrid complexes. The drug likeness and bioactivity properties were calculated using Molinspiration Cheminformatics software.

Nano-materials based drug delivery modalities to specific organs and tissues has become one of the critical endeavors in pharmaceutical research. Recently, two-dimensional graphene has elicited considerable research interest because of its potential application in drug delivery systems. Here we report, the drug delivery applications of PEGylated nano-graphene oxide (nGO-PEG), complexed with a multiphoton active and anti-cancerous diarylheptanoid drug curcumin. Specifically, graphene-derivatives were used as nanovectors for the delivery of the hydrophobic anticancer drug curcumin due to its high surface area and easy surface functionalization. nGO was synthesized by modified Hummer’s method and confirmed by XRD analysis. The formation of nGO, nGO-PEG and nGO-PEG-Curcumin complex were monitored through UV-vis, IR spectroscopy. MTT assay and AO/EB staining found that nGO-PEG-Curcumin complex afforded highly potent cancer cell killing in vitro with a human breast cancer cell line MCF7.

Background: Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide, despite many different drugs available to treat the disease. This high mortality rate is largely due to the complexity of the disease, which results from several genetic and epigenetic changes. Therefore, researchers are constantly searching for novel drugs that can target different and multiple aspects of cancer. Experimental: After a screening, we selected one novel molecule, out of ninety-four triazole derivatives, that strongly affects the viability and proliferation of the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, with minimal effects on non-cancer cells. The drug, named DAN94, induced a dose-dependent decrease in MCF-7 cells viability, with an IC50 of 3.2 ± 0.2 µM. Additionally, DAN94 interfered with mitochondria metabolism promoting reactive oxygen species production, triggering apoptosis and arresting the cancer cells on G1/G0 phase of cell cycle, inhibiting cell proliferation. These effects are not observed when the drug was tested in the non-cancer cell line MCF10A. Using a mouse model with xenograft tumor implants, the drug preventing tumor growth presented no toxicity for the animal and without altering biochemical markers of hepatic function. Results and Conclusion: The novel drug DAN94 is selective for cancer cells, targeting the mitochondrial metabolism, which culminates in the cancer cell death. In the end, DAN94 has been shown to be a promising drug for controlling breast cancer with minimal undesirable effects.

Most of them (5a-i) were less cytotoxic or had no activity against MCF-7 cancer cell line. Material and Methods: The IC50 value of compound (4) was 33.84 μM. The compounds (5a-i) were also evaluated for antimicrobial activities, but no significant activity was observed. The antioxidant activity was conducted for target compounds (5a-i). The IC50 value of compound (5b) was 0.151mM. Results: The total amount of energy, ACE (atomic contact energy), energy of receptor (PDB: 5G5J), and ligand interaction of structure (4) were found to be 22.448 Kcal.mol-1 , -247.68, and -91.91 Kcal.mol-1, respectively. The structure (4) is well binded with the receptor because the values of binding energy, steric energy, and the number of hydrogen bondings are -91.91, 22.448 kcal.mol-1, and 2, respectively. It shows that structure (4) has good cytotoxicity with MCF-7 in vitro. Conclusion: The increasing of docking ability of structures (5a-i) with the receptor is presented in increasing order as (5f)>(5e)>(5g)>(5a)>(5b)>(5d)>(5c)>(5i)>(5h).
