Abstract:
Four novel Pd2+ and Pt2+ mononuclear π-coordination compounds with general formula [M(HL)1,2Cl2], M=Pd2+, Pt2+ have been synthesized by reaction of [PdCl4]2-, [PtCl4]2- anions with N-allyl-4-morpholinethiocarboxamide (HL1) and N-Allyl-N'-tert-butylthiourea (HL2). All complexes have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study and 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy. Cytotoxic, cytostatic and proapoptotic activities of compounds have been determined in vitro on HeLa cell line and compared with cisplatin as etalon drug. All complex compounds possessed pronounced cytotoxic activity with IC50 indexes in range of 2·10-6-1.5·10-4М (IC50 of cisplatin is 5.7∙10-5М) and showed proapoptotic, cytostatic and antisyntetic influence higher or comparable with cisplatin. The comparative influence of cisplatin and synthesized metal complexes on pTZ19R* plasmid DNA was monitored by agarose gel electrophoresis. All compounds showed high affinity to DNA that correlates with observed cytostatic and proapoptotic levels. In general Pd(II) compounds showed higher activity than Pt(II) ones.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
