title: Synthesis, Spectroscopic, and Anticancerous Properties of Mixed Ligand Palladium(II) and Silver(I) Complexes with 4,6-Diamino-5-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine and 2,2'-Bipyridyl.
abstract: Synthesis of two new water-soluble mixed ligand [Pd(bpy)(dahmp)]Cl and [Ag(bpy)(Hdahmp)]NO(3) complexes (dahmp and Hdahmp are the deprotonated monoanion and the protonated neutral 4,6-diamino-5-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine, resp.) is reported. The composition of the reported complexes was discussed on the bases of IR, (1)H NMR, and mass spectra, as well as conductivity and thermal measurements. The reported complexes display a significant anticancer activity against Ehrlich ascites tumor cells (EACs). The higher activity of these complexes with their higher conductivity values corresponds to their complete ionization in aqueous solution.
