Copper Complexes - Vol II

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the biological activities of NNS Schiff base molecular adducts, emphasizing their role as thiourea derivatives and ligands. It highlights how these adducts, particularly in metal complexes with copper (II) and iron (III), exhibit enhanced biological activity compared to their uncoordinated forms. The text delves into their effectiveness in cell destruction and DNA synthesis inhibition, linking their biological functions to their ability to coordinate with metal centers in enzymes. The synthesis process involves the condensation of thiosemicarbazide with suitable aldehydes or ketones.
