ABSTRACT
In an effort to better understand the biological efficacy of the tridentate aroyl hydrazone Cu(II) complexes, three Cu(II) complexes of acetylpyridine benzoyl hydrazone (HL), [Cu(L)(NO3) (H2O)]·H2O (C1), [Cu(L)2] (C2) and [Cu(L)(HL)]·(NO3)(Sas) (C3) (Sas=salicylic acid) were synthesized and characterized. X-ray crystal structures and infrared (IR) spectra of the complexes reveal that the L(-) ligand of C1 and C2 are predominantly in the enolate resonance form, while one L(-) ligand in C3 is represented enolate resonance form and the other HL ligand exhibits keto resonance form. All Cu(II) complexes showed significantly more anticancer activity than the ligand alone. Interestingly, the Cu complexes where the ligand/metal ratio was 11 (C1) rather than 21 (C2 and C3) had higher antitumor efficacy. Moreover, the 11 Cu/ligand complex, C1, promotes A549 cell apoptosis possibly through the intrinsic reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated mitochondrial pathway, accompanied by the regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins.
