Journal ArticleDOI

Anticancer and antifungal activity of copper(II) complexes of quinolin-2(1H)-one-derived Schiff bases

TL;DR: All of the compounds investigated for their antimicrobial activities against the fungus, Candida albicans, and against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were found to have excellent anti-Candida activity but were inactive against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis, X-ray crystal structures and biomimetic and anticancer activities of novel copper(II)benzoate complexes incorporating 2-(4'-thiazolyl)benzimidazole (thiabendazole), 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole and 1,10-phenanthroline as chelating nitrogen donor ligands.

TL;DR: The catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities of the four complexes along with those of the known phenanthroline complexes were investigated and the structural results for 4 represent a re-examination of this crystallographically known compound for which no hydrogen atom coordinates have been previously reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on the cytostatic and cytotoxic effects and mode of action of 8-nitro-7-hydroxycoumarin.

TL;DR: A derivative of coumarin, 8-nitro- 7-hydroxycoumarin (8-NO2-7-OHC), was synthesised, purified and characterised and was shown to be non-mutagenic in a standard Ames test, both with or without a mammalian enzyme activation system.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro cytotoxic potential and mechanism of action of selected coumarins, using human renal cell lines.

TL;DR: Results would suggest that 6-NO(2)-7- OHC and 7,8-OHC might have a therapeutic role to play in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma.
