Abstract
NiII (1) and ZnII (2) complexes of thiosemicarbazones were synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Both the complexes crystalized in monoclinic crystal system with space group P1 21/n 1 (1) and I 2/a (2). The geometries confirmed from X-ray structure for 1 and 2 are square planar and distorted tetrahedral respectively. The ADME predictions indicate that the designed molecules are good for oral intake as the overall log P is around 2 and less than 5 with predicted intestinal absorption of >80 % except complex 1. Highest docking score of −8.5 Kcal/mol obtained for complex 2 through in silico docking studies, which was evaluated in colorectal cancer as EGFR inhibitor gave indication of possibility of high anti-cancer activity of this molecule against HCT 116 cell line. Complex 2 has shown good in-vitro anticancer activity (IC50 = 2.46 ± 0.07) against HCT 116 cell line and antitubercular activity (MIC = 1.6 μg/mL) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV strain as predicted by docking studies.
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.
