Abstract

Two mononuclear copper(II) complexes, [Cu(C15H16NO2)2] (1) and [Cu(C6H9N2O4)2·3H2O] (2·3H2O), were synthesised and structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The copper(II) atom adopts a square-planar environment in complex 1, while the geometry in 2·3H2O could be described as the distorted square pyramidal. Complexes 1 and 2·3H2O were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) urease in vitro. They both were found to have strong inhibitory activities against H. pylori urease comparable to that of acetohydroxamic acid (AHA). A docking simulation was performed to position 2 into the H. pylori urease active site to determine the probable binding conformation.
