    Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure and antimicrobial activity of copper(II) complexes with the Schiff base derived from 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde [Articol]
    (2015) Pahonțu, Elena; Ilieș, Diana Carolina; Șova, Sergiu; Paraschivescu, Codruța; Badea, Mihaela; Gulea, Aurelian; Roșu, Tudor
    A novel Schiff base, ethyl 4-[(E)-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)methyleneamino] benzoate (HL), was prepared and structurally characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV-Vis and IR spectral data. Six new copper(II) complexes, [Cu(L)(NO3)(H2O)2] (1), [Cu(L)2] (2), [Cu(L)(OAc)] (3), [Cu2 (L)2Cl2(H2O)4] (4), [Cu(L)(ClO4)(H2O)] (5) and [Cu2(L2S)(ClO4)(H2O)]ClO4·H2O (6) have been synthesized. The characterization of the newly formed compounds was done by IR, UV-Vis, EPR, FAB mass spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and molar electric conductivity. The crystal structures of Schiff base and the complex [Cu2(L2S)(ClO4)(H2O)]ClO4·H2O (6) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Both copper atoms display a distorted octahedral coordination type [O4NS]. This coordination is ensured by three phenol oxygen, two of which being related to the μ-oxo-bridge, the nitrogen atoms of the azomethine group and the sulfur atoms that come from the polydentate ligand. The in vitro antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus and Candida albicans strains was studied and compared with that of free ligand. The complexes 1, 2, 5 showed a better antimicrobial activity than the Schiff base against the tested microorganisms

    (2013) Pahonțu, Elena; Fala, Valeriu; Gulea, Aurelian; Poirier, Donald; Țapcov, Victor; Roșu, Tudor
    Thirty two new Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes (1-32) with salicylidene thiosemicarbazones (H2L1-H2L10) were synthesized. Salicylidene thiosemicarbazones, of general formula (X)N-NH-C(S)-NH(Y), were prepared through the condensation reaction of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and its derivatives (X) with thiosemicarbazide or 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (Y = H, C6H5). The characterization of the new formed compounds was done by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, magnetochemical, thermoanalytical and molar conductance measurements. In addition, the structure of the complex 5 has been determined by X-ray diffraction method. All ligands and metal complexes were tested as inhibitors of human leukemia (HL-60) cells growth and antibacterial and antifungal activities.

    Synthesis, characterization, antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity evaluation of Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Pt(II) complexes with isoniazid-derived compound [Articol]
    (2017) Pahonțu, Elena; Ilieș, Diana Carolina; Șova, Sergiu; Oprean, Camelia; Păunescu, Virgil; Olaru, Octavian Tudorel; Rădulescu, Flavian Ștefan; Gulea, Aurelian; Roșu, Tudor; Drăgănescu, Doina
    Hydrazone complexes of Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Pt(II) with N-isonicotinoyl-N′-(3-metoxy-2 hydroxybenzaldehyde)-hydrazone (HL) were synthesized and characterized by different physico-chemical techniques including elemental and thermal analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar electric conductivity, as well as IR (infrared), 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR (hydrogen and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance, UV-Vis (ultraviolet-visible), FAB (fast atom bombardment), EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance), and mass spectroscopies. The crystal structure of ligand was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Spectral data showed that hydrazone behaves as an ONO tridentate ligand through the azomethine nitrogen, phenolate and keto oxygen atoms. For the copper(II) complexes, metal-ligand bonding parameters were evaluated from the EPR spectra. These parameters indicate the presence of in-plane π bonding. In addition, the f values of complexes 1-4 indicate small distortion from planarity. The effect of these complexes on proliferation of human breast cancer (MCF-7 and SKBR-3), human melanoma (A375), lung adenocarcinoma cells (NCI-H1573) and their antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans strains were studied and compared with those of free ligand. The ligand and complexes 1-3 showed significant antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans in comparison to the control drugs. The complexes 2-4 could be potential antitumor agents, leading to a significant improvement of the cytotoxic activity when compared with HL.

    New Cu(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes, (Cu(L)(H2O)2(OAc)) (1), (Cu(HL)(H2O)2(SO4)) (2), (Cu(L)(H2O)2(NO3)) (3), (Cu(L)(H2O)2(ClO4)) (4), (Cu(L)2(H2O)2) (5), (Pd(L)(OAc))H2O (6), and (Pt(L)2) (7) were synthesized from 8-ethyl-2-hydroxytricyclo(7.3.1.02,7)tridecan-13-one thiosemicarbazone (HL). The ligand and its metal complexes were characterized by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, UV-Vis, FAB, EPR, mass spectroscopy, elemental and thermal analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements and molar electric conductivity. The free ligand and the metal complexes have been tested for their antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. enteritidis, S. aureus, E. faecalis, C. albicans and cytotoxicity against the NCI-H1573 lung adenocarcinoma, SKBR-3 human breast, MCF-7 human breast, A375 human melanoma and HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cell lines. Copper complex 2 exhibited the best antiproliferative activities against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. A significant inhibition of malignant HL-60 cell growth was observed for copper complex 2, palladium complex 6 and platinum complex 7, with IC50 values of 1.6 μM, 6.5 μM and 6.4 μM, respectively.

    Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure of novel Cu (II), Co (III), Fe (III) and Cr (III) complexes with 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-4-allyl-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone: Antimicrobial, antioxidant and in vitro antiproliferative activity [Articol]
    (2018) Pahonțu, Elena; Usataia, Irina; Graur, Vasilii; Ciumacov, Iurie; Petrenko, Peter; Gudumac, Valentin; Gulea, Aurelian
    2-Hydroxybenzaldehyde-4-allyl-S-methylisothiosemicarbazone and Cu (II), Co (III), Fe (III) and Cr (III) complexes were synthesized and characterized. The new obtained compounds were investigated by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurements, molar electric conductivity, IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, UV–Vis spectroscopy. In addition, the structure of the ligand and six complexes has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The Cu atom in complex 3 is penta-coordinated in a distorted square–pyramidal coordination geometry, while the metals in complexes 5–9 are in a distorted octahedral environment. For all compounds the antimicrobial activity was studied on a series of standard strains, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella abony and Candida albicans. The in vitro antiproliferative activity of the ligand and complexes was screened on human leukemia HL-60 cells, human cervical epithelial HeLa cells, human epithelial pancreatic adenocarcinoma BxPC-3 cells, human muscle rhabdomyosarcoma spindle and large multinucleated RD cells. The primary screening on a wider series of cancer cells showed that copper coordination compound 2 manifests high activity towards HeLa, BxPC-3 and RD cancer cells, which is three–six times higher than the activity of doxorubicin. The selectivity index that is the ratio between the IC50 value for the normal MDCK cells and IC50 values for the cancer cells varies in the range 2.44–21.17. This index is 5.5–11 times higher for the copper coordination compound 2 than for the doxorubicin. Cr (III), Fe (III) and Co (III) coordination compounds 6–9 manifest high antioxidant activity towards ABTS•+ that exceeds 47–67 times the activity of Trolox.

    (2015) Graur, Vasilii; Garbuz, Olga; Zariciuc, Elena; Gudumac, Valentin; Gulea, Aurelian
    The paper presents the synthesis of the 2-formylpyridine N(4)-allyl-3-seleno-semicarbazone that was studied using NMR spectroscopy. This ligand was used for the synthesis of a copper(II) chloride coordination compound. The study of antimicrobial and antifungal activities showed that these substances possess bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities towards a series of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi in the range of concentration 0.7-500μg/mL. The activity of the copper(II) coordination compound towards gram-negative microorganisms significantly exceeds the activity of the ligand. The antioxidant activity of the synthesized selenosemicarbazones exceeds the activity of the coordination compound. These substances inhibit proliferation of MeW-164, HL-60 and HeLa tumor cells. 16 references, 1 table, 7 schemes

    Complexes of 3dn Metal Ions with Thiosemicarbazones: Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity [Articol]
    (MDPI AG, 2007) Rosu, Tudor; Gulea, Aurelian; Nicolae, Anca; Georgescu, Rodica
    The chelating behavior of the thiosemicarbazone derivatives of 2-hydroxy-8-R-tricyclo[7.3.1.0.2,7]tridecane-13-one (where R = H, CH3, C6H5) towards Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) has been investigated by elemental analysis, molar conductivity measurements, UV-VIS, IR, ESR spectroscopy and thermal studies. It was deduced from the experiments performed that the ligands coordinate to metal ions in different ways – neutral bidentate or mononegative bidentate – depending on the nature of R. Also, if metal acetates are used instead of metal chlorides, the ligands coordinate in a mononegative bidentate fashion, regardless of the nature of R or the thiosemicarbazone type ligand. The antimicrobial activity of the ligands and of the complexes towards samples of Acinetobacter boumanii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined.
