Article Synopsis
  • * These compounds were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and were tested against 13 microorganisms and soybean lipoxygenase to assess their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory efficacy.
  • * Results indicated strong antibacterial effects, particularly against ATCC 12453, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 31.125 µg/mL, and promising anti-LOX activity with IC values of 38.12 μM and 34.12 μM for the compounds.

The four new ligands, dialkyl esters of (,)-propylenediamine-,'-di-(2,2'-di-(4-hydroxy-benzil))acetic acid (R-,-pddtyr·2HCl) (R = ethyl (L1), propyl (L2), butyl (L3), and pentyl (L4)) and corresponding palladium(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by microanalysis, infrared, H NMR and C NMR spectroscopy. cytotoxicity was evaluated using the MTT assay on four tumor cell lines, including mouse mammary (4T1) and colon (CT26), and human mammary (MDA-MD-468) and colon (HCT116), as well as non-tumor mouse mesenchymal stem cells. Using fluorescence spectroscopy were investigated the interactions of new palladium(II) complexes [PdCl(R-,-pddtyr)]; (R = ethyl (C1), propyl (C2), butyl (C3), and pentyl (C4)) with calf thymus human serum albumin (HSA) and DNA (CT-DNA).

The four new ligands, propylenediamine derivatives of phenylalanine (R-S,S-pddbaˑ2HCl; L1-L4) and their palladium(II) complexes (C1-C4) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared, H and C NMR spectroscopy. The interactions of new palladium(II) complexes with human serum albumin (HSA) were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. All investigated compounds can be transported to target cells by binding to HSA, but complex C4 interacts most strongly.

Newly palladium(II) complexes (C1, C2) with derivatives of 2-aminothiazoles (L1 = 2-amino-6-methylbenzothiazole, L2 = 2-amino-6-chlorobenzothiazole), general formula [PdLCl] were synthesized and characterized by elemental microanalyses, IR, NMR spectroscopy and X-ray spectroscopy in case of [Pd(L2)Cl]. The kinetic of the substitution reactions of complexes and the nucleophiles, such as guanosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-GMP), tripeptide glutathione (GSH) and amino acid L-methionine (L-Met), were studied by stopped-flow technique. The complex C2 was always more reactive, while the order of the reactivity of the nucleophiles, due to the associative mode of the reaction, was L-Met > GSH > 5'-GMP.

Five new complexes of the palladium(II) ion (C1-C5) having the general formula [(PdL)]Cl with some 2-aminothiazoles (L1-L5), where L1 = 2-amino-4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)thiazole, L2 = 2-amino-5-methyl-4-phenylthiazole, L3 = 2-amino-4-phenylthiazole, L4 = 2-amino-4-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazole, and L5 = 2-amino-4-(2,4-difluorophenyl)thiazole, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental microanalysis and infrared, H NMR and C NMR spectroscopy. The antimicrobial activity of the five ligands and the corresponding Pd(II) complexes is investigated. Testing is performed by the microdilution method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum microbicidal concentration (MMC) have been determined.
