    A new unsymmetrical N2O2-tetradentate Schiff-base complex of zinc(II) was synthesized by the template reaction of pyridoxal-S-methylthiosemicarbazone and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzaldehyde as starting compounds. S-methylthiosemicarbazone (1) and zinc(II) complex [Zn(L)CH3OH] ( 2) were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-visible, H-1, and C-13 NMR spectra. The molecular structure of the complex (2) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The structure consists of a distorted square-pyramidal geometry around the central metal, Zn(II). Quantum chemical calculations were carried out using density functional theory DFT/B3LYP, 6-31G (d), and LanL2DZ basis sets for theoretical characterization of the compounds. The experimental and theoretical data were compared comprehensively. The potential energy distribution (PED) analysis was performed for the assignment of vibration frequencies. In order to support in vitro studies, molecular docking studies have been carried out so that the title compound can be an inhibitor of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (1 m17), and the relationship between calculated HOMO energies and docking studies has been examined. In addition, the total antioxidant capacity (as TEAC value) and free radical scavenging activity of the compounds were determined by Cupric Reducing Antioxidant Capacity (CUPRAC) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) methods, respectively.

    Cytotoxic and oxidative stress-related effects of N2O2-type Ni(II)-thiosemicarbazone complexes: Experimental and computational studies
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2026) Guner, Adem; Poladian, Qumars; Karakurt, Tuncay; Ilhan-Ceylan, Berat; Sahin, Onur; Kurt, Yasemin
    New thiosemicarbazone-based Ni(II) complexes, [Ni(L1-3)] (1-3), were synthesized, structurally characterized, and evaluated for their cytotoxic potential in a panel of human cervical (HeLa), lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB231), and pancreatic (PANC-1) cancer cells, along with a non-cancerous human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell line. The complexes exhibited selective cytotoxic effects, with HeLa cells showing the highest sensitivity. Among them, complex 2 demonstrated the most pronounced antiproliferative activity and selectivity compared to complexes 1 and 3. Cellular studies in HeLa cells revealed increased oxidative stress markers, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis-related alterations accompanying the observed cytotoxicity. Chemical antioxidant assays indicated higher radical-scavenging activity for the free ligand, whereas complex 2 displayed the highest TEAC value among the metal complexes. To support the experimental findings, computational studies including quantum chemical calculations, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, and MM/GBSA analyses were performed, revealing favourable electronic properties and stable interactions of the complexes with the PI3K alpha/mTOR kinase. Overall, the combined experimental and computational results highlight complex 2 as a promising Ni(II)-thiosemicarbazone scaffold with selective cytotoxic activity associated with altered oxidative stress parameters.
