Copper(II) complexes based on isopropyl ester derivatives of bis (pyrazol-1-yl)acetate ligands with catalytic potency in organic macro (molecules) synthesis

Maura Pellei et al.

Summary: In this study, bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid and bis(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid were transformed into isopropyl ester derivatives and used for the synthesis of Cu(II) complexes. The synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and physicochemical methods, and the crystal structure of one ligand was determined using X-ray diffraction analysis. The novel Cu(II) complexes showed promising potential as catalysts for organic modifications.

Cu(I) and Cu(II) Complexes Based on Lonidamine-Conjugated Ligands Designed to Promote Synergistic Antitumor Effects

Fabio Del Bello et al.

Summary: Cu(I) and Cu(II) complexes conjugated with the antineoplastic drug lonidamine showed significant antitumor activity and overcame multidrug resistance in human tumor cell lines. The complexes exhibited synergistic mechanisms of action and were more effective than the reference drug cisplatin.

Exploring the Antitumor Potential of Copper Complexes Based on Ester Derivatives of Bis(pyrazol-1-yl)acetate Ligands

Maura Pellei et al.

Summary: By synthesizing different ligand derivatives and preparing Cu(I) and Cu(II) complexes, this study found that these copper complexes exhibited significant anti-tumor activity and were able to overcome cisplatin resistance. Notably, Cu complexes showed more effectiveness than cisplatin in 3D spheroid cultures.

Influence of 4′-Substitution on the Activity of Gemcitabine and Its ProTide Against VZV and SARS-CoV-2

Zihua Zheng et al.

Summary: The paper describes the synthesis of novel gemcitabine analogues and their prodrugs, with one analogue showing activity against varicella zoster virus. Despite decreased anti-viral activity upon prodrug derivatization, a concomitant improvement in selectivity index was observed. When tested against SARS-CoV-2, the prodrug exhibited antiviral activity comparable to or slightly lower than its cytotoxic concentration in measurements of cell growth and morphology.

A New Dimeric Copper(II) Complex of Hexyl Bis(pyrazolyl)acetate Ligand as an Efficient Catalyst for Allylic Oxidations

Luca Bagnarelli et al.

Summary: The newly synthesized dimeric copper(II) bromide complex exhibited efficient catalytic performance in allylic functionalization through a Kharasch-Sosnovsky reaction, achieving up to 90% yield of allylic benzoates. The complex features a distorted square pyramidal geometry with five-coordination, demonstrating significant improvements in reaction rate and reagent amounts compared to traditional Kharasch-Sosnovsky reactions.
