Synthesis and Anticancer Activity of Mixed Ligand, Cobalt (II), Nickel (II), Manganese (II) Complexes of Tertiary Diphosphines with Dithizone (H2dz)

Abstract

The one-pot synthesis reaction of one mole MCl2.nH2O, where M= Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) ,with one mole of 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone (dithizone;H2dz), of 1,1-bis(diphenyl phosphine)ferrocene (dppf) and 1,2-bis(diphenyl phosphine) ethane (dppe) gave colored complexes of; [Co(Hdz)(k2-dppf)]Cl, [Ni(Hdz)(k2-dppf)]Cl, [Ni(Hdz)(k2-dppe)]Cl and [Mn(Hdz)(k2-dppf)]Cl. The synthesized complexes have been identified by using 1HNMR, IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, micro elemental analysis and molar conductance. All complexes were tested for their anticancer activities on Human breast cancer cell line CAL5. The results showed that [Ni(Hdz)(k2-dppe)]Cl and[Mn(Hdz)(k2-dppf)]Cl have a highest activities than cisplatin in compared to; [Co(Hdz)(k2-dppf)]Cl, [Ni(Hdz)(k2-dppf)]Cl.
