Abstract

Two proline-thiosemicarbazone bioconjugates with excellent aqueous solubility, namely 3-methyl-(S)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylate-2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (L-Pro-FTSC or (S)-H2L) and 3-methyl-(R)-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylate-2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (D-Pro-FTSC or (R)-H2L) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The complexation behavior of L-Pro-FTSC with copper(II) in aqueous solution and in 30% (w/w) dimethyl sulfoxide/water mixture has been studied via pH-potentiometry, UV−vis spectrophotometry, EPR, 1H NMR spectroscopy and spectrofluorometry. By the reaction of copper(II) acetate with (S)-H2L and (R)-H2L in water the complexes [Cu(S,R)-L] and [Cu(R,S)-L] have been synthesized and comprehensively characterized. An X-ray diffraction study of [Cu(S,R)-L] showed the formation of a square-pyramidal complex with the bioconjugate acting as a pentadentate ligand. Both copper(II) complexes displayed antiproliferative activity in CH1 ovarian carcinoma cells and inhibited the Topoisomerase IIα activity in a DNA plasmid relaxation assay.
