Preparation, Characterization of Some Metal Complexes of New Mixed Ligands Derived from 5-Methyl Imidazole and Study the Biological Activity of Palladium (II) Complex as Anticance

Abstract

A new series of mixed ligand complexes synthesized and characterized using of azo ligand derived from (5-methyl— imidazole) with (8-hydroxy quinolone). New mix-ligand structures and their transitional metal complexes were fully characterized using several techniques, including molar conductance, elemental analysis (C.H.N), electronic spectral, magnetic measurements, 1HNMR, spectral studies, and mass spectra. The data shows that these complexes have a composition of [ML(8-HQ) Cl2] H2O where M = Co(II), Zn(II), Cu(II), X=0, and Ni(II), X=1, [ML(8-HQ)] Cl. where M=Pd. The electronic spectral data and magnetic susceptibility calculations of the complexes indicate that the octahedral geometry of all complexes, except for the Pd(II) complex, indicates a planar-square geometry. The results demonstrate that the nitrogen of the imidazole ring and azo nitrogen atom of the primary ligand are coordination sites with a nitrogen atom and oxygen atom of a secondary ligand of the (8-HQ) in the basic medium. Biological effects of the palladium (II) complex are screening against human breast cancer (MCF-7 and AMJ-13) and normal cells (HBL) were examined, which indicated colon cancer cell line LS-174. The results show the highest activity effect for the complex.
