Abstract
New Ni(II) thiosemicarbazone complexes containing triphenylphosphine namely [Ni(Sal-mtsc)(PPh3)](2) and [Ni(Nap-mtsc)(PPh3)] (3) (where Sal-mtsc=salicylaldehyde-N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone and Nap-mtsc=2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde-N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazone) have been synthesised and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the complexes have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. In all the complexes the thiosemicarbazone ligand coordinated to nickel through ONS mode. The electrochemical behavior of the complexes has been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile. The new complexes were subjected to test their DNA topoisomerase II inhibition efficiency. The complex [Ni(Nap-mtsc)(PPh3)] (3) showed 95% inhibition. The observed inhibition activity was found to be more potent than the activity of conventional standard Nalidixic acid.
