title: Preparation, physicochemical properties and biological activity of copper(II) complexes with 6-(2-chlorobenzylamino)purine (HL1) or 6-(3-chlorobenzylamino)purine (HL2). The single-crystal X-ray structure of.
abstract: Copper(II) complexes of 6-(2-chlorobenzylamino)purine (HL1) and 6-(3-chlorobenzylamino)purine (HL2), respectively, were prepared. Depending on the pH of the medium and the molar ratio of reactants the following mononuclear (trigonal-bipyramidal) and dinuclear (octahedral, trigonal-bipyramidal or tetrahedral) complexes were isolated: [Cu2(mu-HL1)2(mu-Cl2)2(HL1)2Cl2] (1a,b), [Cu2(mu-Cl)2(mu-L1)2(H2O)2] (2a), [Cu2(mu-Cl)2(mu-L2)2(H2O)2] (2b), [Cu(H+L2)2Cl3]Cl.H2O (3a,b), [Cu2(mu-Cl)2(HL1)2Cl2] (4a), and [Cu2(mu-Cl)2(HL2)2Cl2] (4b). The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, electronic, infrared and mass (FAB+, ES+) spectral data, magnetic susceptibility temperature dependence measurements and molar conductivity data. An X-ray single-crystal structural analysis of [Cu(H+L2)2Cl3]Cl.2H2O (3b) showed that the Cu2+ ion is penta-coordinated by three chloride ions and by two H+L2 ligands. Thus, the Cu2+ ion adopts a distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometry with the protonated H+L2 ligands coordinated in trans apical positions, while the three chloride ions are situated in an equatorial plane. The cytotoxic activity of the complexes was determined by a calcein AM assay. Mouse melanoma cell line B16-FO, human malignant melanoma cell line G361, human osteogenic sarcoma cell line HOS and human breast adenocarcinoma cell line MCF7 were used. IC50 values, the drug concentrations lethal to 50% of the tumor cells, were estimated. One of the important mechanisms responsible for the cytotoxicity of cytokinin-derived compounds, the inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases by the studied complexes, was also determined.
