In order to discover new therapeutically active agents a series of novel copper(II) complexes with 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinoxalinones were synthesized. All complexes were characterized by IR and EPR spectroscopic techniques and examined for their cytotoxic effect on human cancer cell lines HeLa, LS174, A549 and normal fibroblasts (MRC-5). For further examination of the cytotoxic mechanisms of novel complexes, three of them were chosen for analysing their effects on the distribution of HeLa cells in the cell cycle phases. The results of the flow cytometry analysis suggest that tested complexes lead to time-dependent accumulation of the cells in S and G2/M phases. The strongest accumulation effect showed complex 2d after 48 h of incubation. Competitive experiments with ethidium bromide (EB) indicated that tested compound 2d have affinity to displace EB from the EB-DNA complex through intercalation. Also, the binding parameters values for 2d-BSA complex showed that a reversible 2d-BSA complex is formed and ligand 2d can be stored and carried by BSA.

Two novel complexes, [Cu()Cl] and [Zn()Cl], were synthesized from 1,1'-[(3-fluoro-phen-yl)methyl-ene]bis-[3-(3-fluoro-phen-yl)imidazo[1,5-]pyridine] (), and copper(II) and zinc(II) chloride, respectively. The structures of these complexes were confirmed using ESI-MS, IR and H NMR spectra. The results reveal mononuclear structures in which the central metal atoms are coordinated by two N atoms from the imidazole rings and two Cl ligands.

However current synthesis methods encounter challenges in scalability, batch-to-batch variation, and high energy costs. In this work, we describe a novel continuous flow synthesis approach performed at room temperature to help address these issues, producing spherical, colloidally stable copper(ii) oxide (CuO) NPs.

In recent years, the pace of novel antibiotic development has been relatively slow, intensifying the urgency of the antibiotic resistance issue. Consequently, scientists have turned their attention to enhancing antibiotic activity by coordinating antibiotics with metal elements. This study designs and synthesizes three novel antibacterial copper complexes based on Gatifloxacin.

In this study, we have prepared a novel bis-Schiff-base copper(ii) complex by modifying FeO with acetylacetone functionalities and subsequently forming a Schiff base with 2-picolylamine and CuCl through a template method. Immobilization of 2,4-pentanedione and its reaction with 2-picolylamine enabled the synthesis of 1,3-diketimines (HNacNac) as an anionic ligand. This unique design resulted in a tetradentate N coordination sphere for copper(ii) ion complexation.
