Abstract
2-Hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (HLW) is a principal constituent of the ‘Heena’ plant leaves. Several C(3) derivatives of HLW possess enhanced pharmacological efficacy. This study presents the synthesis and characterization of iodine-based naphthoquinone, 2-hydroxy-3-iodo-1,4-naphthoquinone (HILW), and its manganese(II) (ILW-Mn), cobalt(II) (ILW-Co), and copper(II) (ILW-Cu) complexes. These complexes were characterized through FT-IR, UV–visible spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and electrochemical experiments. The general molecular formula of the complexes is [M(ILW)2(H2O)2]. SC-XRD analysis further showed that ILW-Mn and ILW-Cu complexes are crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n and triclinic P-1, respectively. SC-XRD studies point to the presence of O-H⋯O, C-H⋯O, and C-H⋯I interactions in crystal environments. The molecular and crystal structures of HILW and its complexes were studied using Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots, which unveil intermolecular interactions. Their cytotoxic potentials against the human brain tumor cell line LN18 were examined using MTT and SRB assays. The biotoxicity of ILW-Mn and ILW-Cu complexes demonstrates substantially larger therapeutic potential than ILW-Co or HILW ligands.
期刊介绍:
Inorganica Chimica Acta is an established international forum for all aspects of advanced Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of high scientific level and interest are published in the form of Articles and Reviews.
Topics covered include:
• chemistry of the main group elements and the d- and f-block metals, including the synthesis, characterization and reactivity of coordination, organometallic, biomimetic, supramolecular coordination compounds, including associated computational studies;
• synthesis, physico-chemical properties, applications of molecule-based nano-scaled clusters and nanomaterials designed using the principles of coordination chemistry, as well as coordination polymers (CPs), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal-organic polyhedra (MPOs);
• reaction mechanisms and physico-chemical investigations computational studies of metalloenzymes and their models;
• applications of inorganic compounds, metallodrugs and molecule-based materials.
Papers composed primarily of structural reports will typically not be considered for publication.
