A new series of ethyl pyruvate hydrazones and their later first row transition metal(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by means of elemental analyses, vibrational, electronic, 1H and 13C NMR, electron paramagnetic resonance, and mass spectroscopic techniques along with thermal and magnetic studies. All complexes were found to be monomeric in nature and have octahedral geometry. The prepared compounds were evaluated for antiproliferative activity against the two human cancer cell lines (HeLa and HepG2). The Cu(II) complexes were found to have potential activity against the cell lines used than the ligand and other complexes. In addition, the DNA-binding/cleaving capacity of the compounds were analyzed by absorption spectroscopy, viscosity measurement, thermal denaturation studies and gel electrophoresis methods.

A series of aryl semicarbazones containing a methylene bridge in their skeleton were synthesized as anticonvulsant agents. The strategy of introducing a methylene bridge was to increase the flexibility of the structures because of sp3 hybridization. Pharmacological evaluations of the compounds were performed by determination of their effects on pentylenetetrazole-induced seizure parameters and neurotoxicity in mice. The statistical analysis indicated that most of the synthesized compounds showed significant anticonvulsant activity in comparison with the control group. No remarkable neurotoxicity was observed in rotorod test. A QSAR study was performed using multiple linear regressions. The results of the QSAR study confirmed that the compounds with Br at para position of these new derivatives are more potent than para-ethoxy series. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011.
