The paper presents the synthesis of the new 2-acetylpyridine N4-(bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl)thiosemicarbazone (HL) and its three copper(II) coordination compounds: [Cu(L)X] (X = NO3- (I), Cl- (II), CHCl2COO- (III)). The obtained compounds were studied by NMR and FTIR spectroscopies, elemental analysis, and molar electric conductibility. The antibacterial activity towards Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii) standard strains was studied for the HL and complexes I-III. The coordination of the HL to the copper(II) atom leads to the increase of activity against almost all microorganisms. Complex I is the most active one towards Gram-positive microorganisms, while complex III is the most active one towards Gram-negative microorganisms. They in many cases surpass the activity of Furacillinum and are practically on the same level as Tetracycline towards Gram-positive microorganisms.

The new 1-(piperidin-1-yl)propane-1,2-dione 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (HL) and its 7 coordination compounds [Cu(L)X] (X = Br- (I); Cl- (II); NO3 - (III); CH3COO- (IV); Cl2CHCOO- (V)), [Co(L)2]NO3 (VI), [Fe(L)2]NO3 (VII) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H, 13C NMR spectra and molar electric conductibility. For the obtained compounds it was studied the antioxidant activity towards ABTS•+ radical cation. Uncoordinated 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone HL is the most active one with IC50 14.1 μM. Its activity is higher than that of Trolox which is used in medicine as an antioxidant. Among all the synthesized coordination compounds, the iron(III) complex VII showed the greatest activity. The antioxidant activity of metal complexes is influenced by the anion and the nature of the central metal atom.
NOVEL COPPER(II) COMPLEXES WITH N4,S-DIALLYLISOTHIOSEMICARBAZONES AS POTENTIAL ANTIBACTERIAL/ANTICANCER DRUGS
(2023) Graur, Vasilii; Usataia, Irina; Graur, Ianina; Garbuz, Olga; Bouroș, Paulina; Cravțov, Victor; Lozan-Tîrșu, Carolina; Balan, Greta; Fala, Valeriu; Gulea, Aurelian
The six new copper(II) coordination compounds [Cu(HL1)Cl2] (1), [Cu(HL1)Br2] (2), [Cu(H2O)(L1)(CH3COO)]·1.75H2O (3), [Cu(HL2)Cl2] (4), [Cu(HL2)Br2] (5), [Cu(H2O)(L2)(CH3COO)] (6) were synthesized with 2-formyl- and 2-acetylpyridine N4,S-diallylisothiosemicarbazones (HL1 and HL2). The new isothiosemicarbazones were characterized by NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography ([H2L2]I). All copper(II) coordination compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, and molar conductivity of their 1mM methanol solutions. Furthermore, the crystal structure of complex 3 was determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The studied complexes manifest antibacterial and antifungal activities, that in many cases are close to the activity of medical drugs used in this area, and in some cases even exceed them. The complexes 4 and 5 showed the highest indexes of selectivity (280 and 154) and high antiproliferative activity against BxPC-3 cell lines that surpass the activity of Doxorubicin. The complexes 1–3 also manifest antioxidant activities against cation radicals ABTS•+ that are close to that of trolox, the antioxidant agent used in medicine.
SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF N-(4-METHOXYPHENYL)-2-OXOPROPANAMIDE 4-PHENYLTHIOSEMICARBAZONE AND ITS COPPER(II) COMPLEXES
(CEP USM, 2024) Graur, Ianina; Usataia, Irina; Graur, Vasilii; Tsapkov, Victor; Gulea, Aurelian; Garbuz, Olga; Balan, Greta
The new N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxopropanamide 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (HL) and its 5 copper(II) coordination compounds [Cu(L)X] (X = Cl- (I); Br- (II); NO3- (III); CH3COO- (IV); Cl2CHCOO- (V)) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR and NMR spectra. Coordination of 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone HL with the copper(II) atom led to increased antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. Non-coordinated 4-phenylthiosemicarbazone (HL) showed the highest activity in relation to ABTS•+ cation radicals; its activity is close to that of Trolox, which is used in medicine. The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of the synthesized complexes are influenced by the nature of the acidic residue in their composition.
