New 15-membered tetraaza (N4) macrocyclic ligand and its transition metal complexes: spectral, magnetic, thermal and anticancer activity

Novel tetraamidemacrocyclic 15-membered ligand [L] i.e. naphthyl-dibenzo[1,5,9,12]tetraazacyclopentadecine-6,10,11,15-tetraoneand its transition metal complexes with Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Ru(III) and Pd(II) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectral, thermal as well as magnetic and molar conductivity measurements. On the basis of analytical, spectral (IR, MS, UV-Vis, (1)H NMR and EPR) and thermal studies distorted octahedral or square planar geometry has been proposed for the complexes. The antitumor activity of the synthesized ligand and some complexes against human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7) and human hepatocarcinoma cell lines (HepG2) has been studied. The complexes (IC50=2.27-2.7, 8.33-31.1μg/mL, respectively) showed potent antitumor activity, towards the former cell lines comparable with their ligand (IC50=13, 26μg/mL, respectively). The results show that the activity of the ligand towards breast cancer cell line becomes more pronounced and significant when coordinated to the metal ion.

Coordination behavior of tetraaza [N₄] ligand towards Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cu(I) and Pd(II) complexes: synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and anticancer activity

Novel eight Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cu(I) and Pd(II) complexes with [N(4)] ligand (L) i.e. 2-amino-N-{2-[(2-aminobenzoyl)amino]ethyl}benzamide have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, spectral, thermal (TG/DTG), magnetic, and molar conductivity measurements. On the basis of IR, mass, electronic and EPR spectral studies an octahedral geometry has been proposed for Co(II), Ni(II) complexes and Cu(II) chloride complex, square-pyramidal for Cu(I) bromide complex. For Cu(II) nitrate complex (6), Pd(II) complex (8) square planar geometry was proposed. The EPR data of Cu(II) complexes in powdered form indicate d(x2-y2) ground state of Cu(II) ion. The antitumor activity of the synthesized ligand and some selected metal complexes has been studied. The palladium(II) complex (8) was found to display cytotoxicity (IC(50)=25.6 and 41 μM) against human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and human hepatocarcinoma HEPG2 cell line.

1,5-bis(2-formylphenyl)pentane (synthesised from 1,5 dibromopentane and salicylaldehyde). reacts with 2,6-diaminopyridine to give a new macrocyclic ligand that gives Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and La(III) complexes by reaction with Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, Pb(NO3)2, Zn(NO3)2·6H2O, Cd(NO3)2·4H2O and La(NO3)3·6H2O respectively. The ligand and its metal complexes have been characterised by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, UV-Vis spectra, magnetic susceptibility, conductivity measurements and mass spectra. All complexes are diamagnetic and the Cu(II) complex is binuclear.
