Five new complexes with deferiprone and N,N-donor ligands: evaluation of cytotoxicity against breast cancer MCF-7 cell line and HSA-binding determination.

In this study, five new complexes containing deferiprone (dfp) and N,N-donor ligands [bipyridine (bpy), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and ethylenediamine (en)] were synthesized: [Fe(dfp)(bpy)](PF) (), [Fe(dfp)(phen)](PF) (), [Cu(dfp)(bpy)](PF) (), [Ga(dfp)(bpy)](PF) (), and [Fe(dfp)(en)](PF) (). Characterization of these complexes was carried out through elemental analysis and FT-IR, and single-crystal X-ray crystallography was used to determine their structures. Whilst the polyhedron has a distorted octahedral geometry in , , , and , it adopts a distorted square-pyramidal geometry in .

Chelation of thallium by combining deferasirox and desferrioxamine in rats.

The hypothesis that two known chelators deferasirox (4-[3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-benzoic acid) and desferrioxamine (DFO) might be more efficient as combined treatment than as monotherapies in removing thallium from the body was tested in a new acute rat model. 7-week-old male Wistar rats received chelators: deferasirox (orally), DFO (intraperitoneal; i.p.

Dianilinium bis-(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato-κ(3)O(2),N,O(6))cuprate(II) hexa-hydrate.

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, (C(6)H(8)N)(2)[Cu(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(2)]·6H(2)O, contains half a copper(II)-dipicolinate complex located on a twofold rotation axis, one protonated aniline mol-ecule and three solvent water mol-ecules. The Cu(II) atom is coordinated by four O atoms and two N atoms from two dipicolinate ligands in a distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional framework by inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O inter-actions.

[(Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato)copper(II)]-μ-(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato)-[bis-(ethyl-enediamine)-copper(II)]-μ-(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato)-[(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ato)copper(II)] ethyl-enediamine monosolvate tetra-hydrate.

The title compound, [Cu(3)(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(4)(C(2)H(8)N(2))(2)]·C(2)H(8)N(2)·4H(2)O, was obtained by the reaction of copper(II) acetate dihydrate with pyridine-2,6-dicarb-oxy-lic acid (H(2)dipic) and ethyl-enediamine (en) in an aqueous solution. All of the Cu(II) atoms in the trinuclear centrosymmetric title complex are six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry with N(2)O(4) and N(4)O(2) environments for the outer and central Cu(II) atoms, respectively. Various inter-actions, including numerous O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-O⋯π stacking of the pyridine and carboxyl-ate groups [O⋯centroid distances = 3.
