Synthesis, Structure, and Biological Activity of Copper and Cobalt Coordination Compounds with Substituted 2-(2-Hydroxybenzylidene)-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamides

详细

The reaction of N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide with substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes afforded the corresponding Schiff bases which were used as ligands to obtain copper and cobalt coordination compounds Cu(NL^1–6)X · n H₂O (X = Cl⁻, \(\rm{NO}_3^-\); n = 0–3), Co(HL²)₂NO₃, and Co(NL⁶)₂Cl. The structure of the isolated complexes was determined by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. The complexes were tested for antimicrobial and antifungal activity against S. aureus, E. coli, and yeast-like fungi. Inhibitory effect of the initial thioamides and their complexes against human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cancer cell line was also studied.
