Abstract

One of the most crucial objectives in medicinal chemistry is the development of innovative and beneficial bioactive compounds with various biological activities. Thiosemicarbazone, which serves as a valuable precursor in synthesizing pharmaceutical compounds also acts as a chelating agent and forms complexes with transition metals. They demonstrate remarkable medicinal properties and seem advantageous in terms of generating less toxic and more potent medications. These complexes possess a broad range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, anticancer, and antioxidant, and are used as enzyme inhibitory agents. This review summarizes recent works providing detailed information on the synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of several thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes. Examining various metal complexes with distinct medicinal properties and structural characteristics this review aims to understand the diverse biological potential for therapeutic applications. This work aims to illuminate the potential of these compounds in pioneering innovative treatment modalities across diverse domains by developing knowledge about the structural characteristics that determine their various biological effects. The literature cited in this review covers a comprehensive period of research and development on thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes, spanning a period of 17 years from 2006 to 2023, reflecting the evolution and current state of research in this field.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including: • Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.) • Chemical intermediates • Molecules in excited states • Biological molecules • Polymers. The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example: • Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near) • Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.) • Electronic absorption spectroscopy • Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism • Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques • Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc. • Microwave spectroscopy • Electron diffraction • NMR and ESR spectroscopies • Mössbauer spectroscopy • X-ray crystallography • Charge Density Analyses • Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods) We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
