Article Title: | Role of Metalation in the Topoisomerase IIα inhibition and antiproliferation activity of a series of α-heterocyclic-N 4-substituted thiosemicarbazones and their Cu(II) complexes |
Abstract: | The topoisomerase-IIα inhibition and antiproliferative activity of α-heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones and their corresponding copper(II) complexes have been investigated. The CuII(thiosemicarbazonato)Cl complexes were shown to catalytically inhibit topoisomerase-IIα at concentrations (0.3-7.2 μM) over an order of magnitude lower than their corresponding thiosemicarbazone ligands alone. The copper complexes were also shown to inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells expressing high levels of topoisomerase-IIα (SK-BR-3) at lower concentrations than cells expressing lower levels of the enzyme (MCF-7). © 2011 American Chemical Society. |
