Synthesis, characterization & biological studies of Mn(II), Fe(III) and Co(II) complexes of (Z)-1, 5-dimethyl-4-(2-(2-oxopropylidene) hydrazinyl)-2-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3(2H)-one

Synthesis, characterization, PXRD studies, and theoretical calculation of the effect of gamma irradiation and antimicrobial studies on novel Pd(II), Cu(II), and Cu(I) complexes

The main objective of this study is to synthesize and characterize of a new three complexes of Pd (II), Cu (II), and Cu (I) metal ions with novel ligand ((Z)-2-(phenylamino)-N'-(thiophen-2-ylmethylene)acetohydrazide) H2LB. The structural composition of new compounds was assessed using several analytical techniques including FT-IR, 1H-NMR, electronic spectra, powder X-ray diffraction, and thermal behavior analysis. The Gaussian09 program employed the Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach to optimize the geometry of all synthesized compounds, therefore obtaining the most favorable structures and crucial parameters. An investigation was conducted to examine the impact of γ-irradiation on ligands and complexes. Before and after γ-irradiation, the antimicrobial efficiency was investigated for the activity of ligands and their chelates. The Cu(I) complex demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity after irradiation, as well as other standard medications such as ampicillin and gentamicin. Similarly, the Cu(I) complex exhibited superior activity against antifungal species relative to the standard drug Nystatin. The docking investigation utilized the target location of the topoisomerase enzyme (2xct) chain A.

Synthesis, Characterization, PXRD Studies, Theoretical Calculation, and Antitumor Potency Studies of a Novel N,O-Multidentate Chelating Ligand and Its Zr(IV), V(IV), Ru(III), and Cd(II) Complexes

A new series of Zr(IV), V(IV), Ru(III), and Cd(II) complexes with the ligand N-((5-hydroxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-3-yl)methylene)-2-(p-tolylamino)acetohydrazide (H2L) have been prepared. FT-IR, 1H-NMR, electronic spectra, powder X-ray, and thermal behavior methods were applied to elucidate the structural composition of new compounds. Geometry optimization for all synthesized compounds was conducted using the Gaussian09 program via the DFT method, to obtain optimal structures and essential parameters. Moreover, the antibacterial and antitumor activity of the ligand and its complexes were studied, where the Cd(II) complex acquires probably the best antibacterial activity followed by the Ru(III) complex towards bacterial species than others when using ampicillin and gentamicin were used as standard drugs. The complexes exhibited interestingly antitumor potential against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The cytotoxicity of the new complexes has been arranged to follow the order: Ru(III) complex > Cd(II) complex > Zr(IV) complex > V(IV) complex > ligand. Molecular docking was performed on the active site of ribosyltransferase and obtained good results. Structure-based molecular docking is used to identify a potential therapeutic inhibitor for NUDT5.

Transition Metal Complexes of 4-Aminoantipyrine Derivatives and Their Antimicrobial Applications

Transition metal complexes of 4-aminoantipyrine derivatives have been gaining great interest due to their rich coordination chemistry and potential applications in the field of pharmaceutical science. The presence of a free amine and a cyclic ketone functionality makes 4-aminoantipyrine an attractive amphoteric substrate for Schiff base formation. Varieties of aldehydes/ketones or amines of versatile steric, electronic and functional nature could be condensed with the 4-aminoantipyrine motif to obtain the ligand systems of multi-denticity and diverse coordination behaviour. The transition metal complexes obtained from these ligand systems exhibit unique structural and functional properties. This review compiles the important transition metal complexes developed from the Schiff base derivatives of 4-aminoantipyrine, and their utility as antibacterial and antifungal agents. Rationale of the strategies involved in the development of highly potential antimicrobial agents is discussed.

Synthesis of arylidene hydrazinylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones as potent anti-microbial agents

Combination of arylidene hydrazinyl moiety with pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one skeleton in compounds 7‒26 results in the output of unprecedented anti-microbial agents. Arylidene hydrazinyl based on Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one analoges 7‒26 prepared by the treatment of [2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones 6a,b with various aromatic aldehydes. The antimicrobial action for recently synthesized compounds was considered towards gram positive bacterial species (Staphylococcus aurous ATCC- 47077; Bacillus cereus ATCC-12228), gram negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli ATCC-25922; Salmonella typhi ATCC-15566) and Candida albicans ATCC-10231 as fungal strains. The antimicrobial action expanded by expanding the electron donating group in position 2 and 5 for Pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one core. Derivatives 13, 14, 15, 16 and 12; individually appeared hopeful anti-microbial action towards all strains utilized with inhibition zone higher than that of standard reference drug with lowest MIC.
