    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.

    EXPLORING THE ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF 1-(PIPERIDIN-1-YL) PROPANE-1,2-DIONE 4-PHENYLTHIOSEMICARBAZONE AND 3d METAL COORDINATION COMPOUNDS WITH THIS LIGAND
    (CEP USM, 2024) Graur, Ianina; Maxim, Mihail; Graur, Vasilii; Tsapkov, Victor; Gulea, Aurelian; Garbuz, Olga
    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.

    SYNTHESIS,CHARACTERIZATION,ANDBIOLOGICALPROPERTIESOFTHE COPPER(II)COMPLEXESWITHNOVELLIGAND:N-[4-({2-[1-(PYRIDIN2-YL)ETHYLIDENE]HYDRAZINECARBOTHIOYL}AMINO)PHENYL]ACETAMIDE
    (2023) Rusnac, Roman; Garbuz, Olga; Ciumacov, Iurie; Țapcov, Victor; Hureau, Christelle; Istrati, Dorin; Gulea, Aurelian
    For the first time, a thiosemicarbazone-type ligand containing a paracetamol structural unit was synthesized. Five new coordination compounds based on copper(II) salts: [Cu(L)CH3COO] (1), [{Cu(L)Cl}2]·H2O (2), [Cu(L)H2O·DMF]NO3 (3), [Cu(L)Br] (4), [Cu(L)H2O]ClO4 (5), were obtained, where HL is N-[4-({2-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene]hydrazinecarbothioyl}amino)phenyl]acetamide. The new HL was characterized by NMR, FTIR, spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. All copper(II) coordination compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, EPR spectroscopy, and molar electrical conductivity. Furthermore, single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis elucidated the structures of thiosemicarbazone HL as well as complexes 1–3. All compounds were tested for antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities, and their toxicity to Daphnia magna was studied. Biological evaluation has revealed that most of the synthesized compounds demonstrate promising antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activities. In many cases, their antibacterial/antifungal activity is comparable to that of certain drugs used in medicine for these purposes, and in some cases, even surpasses them. HL and complexes 2–5 exhibit antioxidant activity that surpasses that of Trolox. Furthermore, HL and complex 2 display virtually no toxicity to D. magna.

    (2021) Gulea, Aurelian; Graur, Vasilii; Ulchina, Ianina; Bouroș, Pavlina; Smaglii, Vadim; Garbuz, Olga; Țapcov, Victor
    Сopper(II) nitrate reacts in ethanol with 2-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide H2L in an 1 : 1 molar ratio to form the coordination compound Cu(HL)NO3·H2O. The introduction of amines [imidazole (Im), 3,5-dibromopyridine (3,5-Br2Py), and 4-methylpyridine (4-Pic)] into the reaction mixture in a molar ratio 1 : 1 : 2 leads to the formation of CuA(HL)NO3·nH2O [A = Im, 3,5-Br2Py, 4-Pic; n = 0, 3] complexes. The structure of the obtained compounds was determined by X-ray structural analysis. The synthesized complexes exhibit antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anticancer activities.

    (2020) Gulea, Aurelian; Graur, Vasilii; Ciumacov, Iurie; Petrenko, Peter; Garbuz, Olga; Țapcov, Victor; Gudumac, Valentin
    Reaction of pentane-2,4-dione with N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide at a 1: 2 molar ratio in ethanol resulted in the formation of a pyrazole derivative. The latter reacted with nickel perchlorate at a 1: 1 molar ratio to form the nickel complex with pentane-2,4-dione bis(4-allylthiosemicarbazone). The same type of nickel complex was obtained as a result of N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazinecarbothioamide reaction with pentane-2,4-dione and nickel nitrate at a 2: 1: 1 molar ratio. Antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, and anticancer activities of the obtained compounds were studied.

    INTRODUCING N-HETEROAROMATIC BASES INTO COPPER(II) THIOSEMICARBAZON COMPLEXES: A WAY TO CHANGE THEIR BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
    (2022) Ulchina, Ianina; Graur, Vasilii; Țapcov, Victor; Ciumacov, Iurie; Garbuz, Olga; Burduniuc, Olga; Ceban, Emil; Gulea, Aurelian
    Three new copper(II) complexes, [Cu(1,10-Phen)(L)] (1), [Cu(2,2’- Bpy)(L)] (2) and [Cu(3,4-Lut)(L)] (3), where H2L=2-[(2,4- dihydroxyphenyl)methylidene]-N-(prop-2-en-1-yl)hydrazine-1- carbothioamide, 1,10-Phen=1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2’-Bpy= 2,2’-bipyridine, 3,4-Lut=3,4-lutidine, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray crystallography (1, 2). All compounds are mononuclear. The introduction of a monodentate N-heteroaromatic base (3,4-dimethylpyridine) has led to a significant increase of antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and antifungal activity against Candida albicans compared to the pro-ligand and the precursor complex [Cu- (L)H2O]. The introduction of bidentate N-heteroaromatic bases did not lead to such increase of antimicrobial and antifungal activities. Moreover, complex 3 surpasses the inhibitory activity of tetracycline toward Enterobacter cloacae and the inhibitory activity of fluconazole toward Candida parapsilosis and Cryptococcus neoformans. The study of antioxidant activity against cation radicals ABTS* + showed that complexes 1–3 are more active than Trolox, but only introduction of the monodentate Nheteroaromatic base (3,4-dimethylpyridine) led to the increase of antioxidant properties compared to the precursor complex.

    (2023) Erhan, Tatiana; Garbuz, Olga; Ungur, Nicon; Gulea, Aurelian
    The present study was focused on the synthesis of some N-(dimethylphenyl)hydrazine carbothioamides 1-4, that contain the following N-substituents: 2,4-dimethylphenyl; 2,5-dimethylphenyl; 2,6-dimethylphenyl; 3,4-dimethylphenyl, to increase lipophilicity and N-(dimethylphenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides 5-8, analogous of Triapine. The structural formula of the compounds was characterized by means of spectroscopy: FT-IR, 1H-, and 13CRMN, and the molecular structure, for the first time, by means of X-ray diffraction. The study of antioxidant activity has shown that all compounds 1-8 are powerful antioxidants. N-(dimethylphenyl)-2-(pyridin2-ylmethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamides 5-8 were tested as inhibitors of MCF-7 (breast cancer) cell proliferation. It was found that all the compounds exhibit activity comparable to that of Doxorubicin, among them the compound N-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylidene)hydrazinecarbothioamide 6, with IC50=0.8 μM/L, demonstrated the highest activity.

    NOVEL ANTIOXIDANTS BASED ON SELECTED 3D METAL COORDINATION COMPOUNDS WITH 2-HYDROXYBENZALDEHYDE 4,S-DIALLYLISOTHIOSEMICARBAZONE
    (2023) Graur, Vasilii; Mardari, Anastasia; Bouroș, Pavlina; Cravțov, Victor; Usataia, Irina; Ulchina, Ianina; Garbuz, Olga; Gulea, Aurelian
    2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde 4,S-diallylisothiosemicarbazone (HL) was synthesized and characterized by 1H, 13C NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. It exists in solution in two isomeric forms: cis (~25%) and trans (~75%). Six stable complexes were obtained by interaction of HL with copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(III) and iron(III) salts: [Cu(L)Cl] (1), [Cu(L)NO3] (2), [Cu(3,4-Lut)(L)NO3] (3), [Ni(L)OAc] (4), [Co(L)2]Cl (5), [Fe(L)2]NO3 (6). The synthesized complexes have been studied by elemental analysis, FTIR, molar electrical conductivity and single crystal X-ray diffraction (6). For all compounds the antioxidant activity against cation radicals ABTS•+ was studied. All complexes and free ligand are more active than trolox that is used in medicine practice. Complex 4 (IC50=7.20µM) is the most active one. The introduction of heterocyclic amine did not improve the antioxidant activity. The introduction of S-allyl group into isothiosemicarbazone affected the activity of the synthesized substances, and in some cases the resulting complexes exhibit greater activity than complexes with isothiosemicarbazones with other S-radicals.

    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.
