Abstract
A novel copper complex of [CuII (μ2–S)(terminal-S)(2-acetylpyrdine oxime)2 (1) is synthesized and characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The free ligand of 2-acetylpyrdine oxime is an unexpected product obtained from a condensation reaction of p-aminobenzene sulfonamide and 2-acetylpyridine and is characterized by IR, 1HNMR, and 13CNMR spectroscopic methods. X-ray crystallography showed strictly planar bridged μ2- Cu2(S)2 core, and each copper(II) center exhibits distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry. The cytotoxicity of the complex was tested in vitro against esophageal cancer (SKGT-4) cell lines by metabolic tests, using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide as a reagent. Complex 1 showed a remarkable inhibition response in SKGT-4 cell lines.
